Chewing gum

There are many ways that people enjoy chewing gum, from relaxing to satisfying a sweet tooth after a meal. Because chewing gum is good for your teeth and your breath, many people are surprised to learn that it has many other health benefits that they didn’t know about before.

 

Gum chewing, like any other habit, can lead to unpleasant side effects like jaw pain and migraines in some people

EDITOR’S PICK: 

 

In this article on EKO HOT BLOG, we would be looking at some benefits of chewing gum.

 

1. Improve oral health and prevents tooth decay

Chewing gum’s positive impact on oral health is well-known to the general public. Sugar-free gum, which has similar benefits to mouthwash and toothpaste containing fluoride, is particularly effective in preventing tooth decay.

 

Chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes after a meal can help keep teeth healthy and gum disease at bay. To prevent tooth decay, it primarily boosts saliva production in the mouth and removes food particles and acids from the teeth.

 

2. Prevent Heartburn and Acid Reflux

It is a complicated condition in which stomach acids travel up the oesophageal tube and cause chest congestion while simultaneously damaging the linings of the oesophageal tube.

 

To put it another way, this results in the throat or chest burning sensation that many people experience. A surprising discovery: chewing gum can relieve acid reflux by clearing the gastrointestinal tract and neutralizing stomach acid.

 

There is evidence to suggest that chewing gum stimulates the swallow reflex and increases salivary alkalinity, both of which help to neutralize acidic stomach contents and keep the oesophagus clear. This means that the acid reflux is reduced, resulting in a sense of relaxation and a reduction in the level of irritability.

 

3. Improves Digestion

Chewing gum before a meal helps digestion, despite the fact that gum has no direct effect on the digestive process. Chewing helps the body get ready for a meal by causing saliva to form on the lips and digestive acids to be produced in the stomach.

Additionally, it helps digestion by preparing the stomach for food to be swallowed. Maintaining oral health and preventing indigestion are both benefits of chewing gum after meals.
