What is the benefit of chewing gum?

To understand the benefits (or vice versa - harm) chewing gum, you need to understand two things:

1. First - for what you need to chew it
2. Second - from which it is made

So, it is believed that chewing gum is chewing to:

• refresh your breath
• strengthen the gums
• expel unpleasant odor from the mouth

1. And now the basis of chewing gum is latex and rubber, that is, a natural product obtained from trees resin
2. In addition to rubber, chewing gum includes various flavors that mimic the natural taste of berries, fruits, leaves and more
3. There are also sweeteners in chewing gum. For example, a sugar substitute for xylitol has the ability to restrain the spread of denture bacteria. As a result, there is an opportunity to avoid caries

It turns out that, chewing chewing gum, we:

• clean breathing
• we cleanse the teeth after eating in an accessible way in the absence of a toothbrush nearby
• we contribute to the production of saliva, which itself cleanses the teeth and, at the same time, stimulates digestion after eating
• we calm down the nerves by switching the body to the chewing process

This, perhaps, ends the positive properties of chewing gum. She doesn’t have so many negative properties if you know and follow the rules for using this product.

Instilled in the use of chewing gum:

• chew gum only after eating
• you can’t chew it on an empty stomach or before meals
• you can chew gum if seals are not placed on the teeth
• you need to chew it only a few minutes, for example, as long as its taste is felt
• having chewing chewing gum, you always need to remember the issues of culture and understand whether such a process is appropriate in certain circumstances

What is the benefit of chewing gum after eating?

• We also normalize the acid-base balance, the teeth shine like diamonds, and other things from the world of miracles are happening. And all this, thanks to chewing gum
• In fact, these are all advertising tricks, and the benefits of chewing gum for the body are very, very exaggerated by advertisers

Important: in reality, chewing gum only allows you to clean the oral cavity after eating. And not for long. And if the gum contains sweeteners and sugar, then there is more harm from it than good

1. The increased salivation that occurs during chewing does not improve the production of gastric juice, the body is able to take care of this itself. And chewing chewing gum, on the contrary, deceives him
2. The body begins to additionally produce gastric juice, believing that after chewing it will enter the food that needs to be digested
3. As a result, the additionally released gastric juice does not receive food, since gum does not need to be digested, and, perhaps, it will only harm the stomach

Important: of course, if you are used to chewing gum, use it, however, do not forget the rules of its use, which was mentioned above
