Chewing gums are fun and apart from making you look all cool and hip, it also curbs the foul smell coming from your mouth.
But do you know, chewing gum has other health benefits too? (Surprised?)
Have a look:
1. Improving Oral Health:
Ever seen the ads of chewing gums? Those pearl-like teeth, constant smiles and fresh breath. Yes, if you consume the sugar-free gums, it actually improves your oral health. Chewing a stick of gum increases salivation which results in the secretion of many minerals that strengthen your enamel and keeps your teeth free from decay.
2. Reduces Heartburn:
As chewing gum increases salivation, it neutralizes the extra acid produced by your body that causes the heartburn. It also soothes the oesophagus and keeps your stomach cool (Avoid the peppermint flavoured ones).
3. Mood Booster:
Feeling low on energy? Have a gum! Chewing gum keeps your mouth active and your brain alert. It instantly removes drowsiness and is also a good cure for nausea. It is also found to be beneficial in combating anxiety and stress as it improves blood circulation (Not scientifically proven!).
4. Slimmer Waist:
What all we do for getting a slimmer waistline! But end results are mostly the same. A few pieces of gum helps in melting some pounds of your body without exercising much (dream come true!). It also gives you a fullness feeling, controlling your munching habits.
Now, go grab one and see the benefits!
