CHEWING GUM BOOSTS BRAIN POWER
Confectionerynews.com reports that according to a new research study by the Wrigley Science Institute, chewing gum could be good for teenagers’ ability to study.
The study was carried out by Baylor College of Medicine in Texas and is one of a series of studies commissioned by Wrigley to show the positive health benefits of the age-old habit of chewing gum to concentrate.
One of the studies showed that chewing gum showed a better result on maths scores.
Executive director of the WSI, Dr Gil Leveille, ConfectioneryNews.com : “Dr Johnston’s study found that chewing gum was associated with improved academic performance, but it did not explore the mechanism behind this relationship.
“However, there is research demonstrating an increase in blood flow in the brain during chewing and a recent study supported by the Wrigley Science Institute showed that chewing gum reduces stress and improves alertness; these effects of chewing gum might well contribute to enhanced class performance.
“This study adds to the growing body of evidence that supports the benefits of chewing gum for various cognitive performances, such as focus and concentration.”
