Improves memory

Professor Andrew Sholey, in his research, found that short-term memory could be improved by 35% by chewing gum. Mint-flavored gums increase attention and cognitive performance.

Reduces heartburn

Chewing gum increases swallowing frequency and clears the acid from your esophagus. It also saves you from tooth decay, erosion, and other oral damage that acid reflux may cause.

Eliminates nausea

Chew on some mint-flavored ones as they can help relieve nausea. In a study, women who felt sick after surgery and were given peppermint gum to chew on found relief from vomiting.

Helps you lose weight

Chewing gum signals your brain that you don't want to eat more. This effectively curbs your cravings. Research shows that people who chewed gum swallowed 67% fewer calories.

Reduces anxiety

A study revealed that people who chewed gum twice for 14 days rated their anxiety significantly less than those who did not. They also experienced better moods and lower fatigue levels.
