The saliva makes the food going down much easier so it won't be rough.

Caroline s is right, also it helps with taste...try this, get as much saliva out of your mouth as you can by swallowing, then stick your tongue out and dry it off w/ a paper towel put something on it like sugar or salt...see you can't taste it!

It's the start of the digestive process.There are enzymes in saliva that start to break down food even as we chew it.

Start of the digestive process and breakdown of food. Also, it adds moisture to what you are eating to make it easier to swallow.
