Why does my mouth salivate when i see something good? like food
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflex salivation.: When we see food that we could potentially enjoy, our brain gets our bodies ready to eat it. So among other things, our saliva production increases to help our mouths start digesting those anticipated carbohydrates.
