Chewing gum may be the answer to better attention and eating habits
Gum chewing may be a habit worth cultivating. According to two studies (both funded by the Wrigley Science Institute but well designed) sugar free chomping may bring:
· Better performance in school
Eighth graders who chewed during class, homework and tests saw a 3 percent improvement in their maths test scores and had better final maths grades than the non-chewing kids. Researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine say gum chewing may help sustain attention by easing stress and anxiety .
· Less snacking
Volunteers who chewed gum for 15 minutes each hour between lunch and snack time consumed 60 fewer calories from sweets than when they went gum-free.
