Has done a study where a group of people were divided randomly into two groups, one group was asked to chew gum in a certain period and the other does not it. The result is a group that chewing gum had higher test scores than other groups.

Stimulus to keep the memory in the brain may be associated with chewing movements. When you chew gum, hippocampus (the brain that controls memory) will be stimulated. In addition, the chewing gum can increase heart rate and helps deliver oxygen to the brain effectively.

2. Helps Burn Calories

3. Reduce Stress
Chewing gum can help a person fight stress. Research has shown that people who chew gum during the exam or while studying will be more calm and not nervous.

Chewing gum can reduce the levels of cortisol (stress hormone) in the body. Cortisol is a hormone that is released when the body is in a state of tension, thus causing stress.

4. Improve Oral Health
Sugar-free gum can improve your oral health as it stimulates saliva production, which is one of the main sources that keep the mouth healthy. Saliva has antibacterial properties that can flush the remnants of food, sugar and other harmful acids in your mouth.

If you're used to chew gum after a meal, you will tend to have a healthy digestion. Chewing gum makes you swallow saliva again and again because of the increased production of saliva, thus allowing digestive acids to go down to the stomach and begin digestion.
