• Chewing gum can reduce stress and boost memory. Experts don’t fully understand how chewing gum improves memory. One theory is that this improvement is due to increased blood flow to the brain caused by chewing gum.
• Studies have also found that chewing gum may reduce stress and increase feelings of alertness.
• Chewing sugar-free gum could help protect your teeth from cavities. It’s better for your teeth than regular, sugar-sweetened gum. This is because sugar feeds the “bad” bacteria in your mouth, which can damage your teeth. Furthermore, chewing gum after a meal increases saliva flow. This helps wash away harmful sugars and food debris, both of which feed bacteria in your mouth.
