Correct Answer: It increases RBCs in the body


Solution : The correct answer is It increases the RBCs in the body.

Saliva serves multiple functions, such as helping to swallow food easily, making it easier to move the lips and tongue for speaking and maintaining a pH value of 6.7 to prevent the growth of microorganisms and keep the mouth clean. Salivary juices also begin the process of digestion in the mouth.
