I Chewed Gum Every Day for a Month, See What Happened
A lot of you reach for a stick of gum after drinking a cup of coffee or eating some onion-heavy dish. There’s nothing abnormal about that. But what if you chewed it every single day for a month? There’s tons of research out there saying that chewing stimulates the flow of saliva, which basically flushes away all the acids produced by bacteria. This makes your teeth stronger and prevents tooth decay.
But that’s not all. One study showed that chewing gum can help you lose weight, burn more calories, and even improve your memory! Well, we decided to make sure if it’s true. It was an interesting experiment, and there were also some surprises. ?

SUMMARY:
– The first three days were fun. If I wasn’t eating or sleeping, then I was chomping down on a piece of gum. I gotta say, my jaw didn’t take this challenge well at first – on day 4 it started aching a little from all that extra chewing.
– During the next 10 days, chewing gum became second nature to me. I didn’t even think twice about it, and any resistance in my jaw had gone away completely.
– Finally, the last 10 days of my experiment approached. My jaw got so used to it that I didn’t feel that at all! But to be honest, by this point I was pretty sick of gum.
– The greatest shock to me was the compliments I started getting toward the end of my experiment regarding my jawline.
– The weight loss was a welcomed gift. It wasn’t anything too dramatic but still enough to feel more comfortable in my body.
– I also noticed that my stress levels went down. I’m a big worrier, so I was really surprised when I looked back and realized that I was a lot more chill during the month.
– And, obviously, always having fresh breath was a big plus! I didn’t chew mint gum the whole time, but even the fruity flavors gave my mouth a pleasant scent!
– I had headaches. I know it had to be because of all that chewing since I never really used to get bad headaches. And I saw an article online linking the two, so chances are that was the reason.
– Okay but how much gum should you chew a day, then? Doctors say you shouldn’t do it if you don’t have a good enough reason for it. The best time is after meals.
