As we all know, chewing gum can better clean the mouth and teeth, but because when chewing gum, the taste sense is stimulated, the mouth secretes saliva, and the stomach will also secrete a large amount of digestive juices. Secondly, a lot of chewing gum contains xylitol, which contains rowan alcohol, a sweetener that can only be absorbed by the intestine by about 15%. If consumed for a long time, sweeteners may accumulate in the intestinal wall and cause damage to the stomach and intestines. Especially for some people with stomach diseases, the stomach itself is in a state of excessive gastric acid, in this case, if chewing gum is often chewed, it will damage the duodenal mucosa and stomach, aggravating stomach problems.
In addition, chewing gum for a long time can also cause too much air to enter the body, causing bloating and gastrointestinal discomfort. At the same time, chewing gum for a long time will also increase the sodium and electrolytes in the intestines, resulting in gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea problems, especially when chewing gum on an empty stomach, symptoms of dizziness and nausea.
In fact, in the final analysis, chewing gum is not the "original sin" of stomach problems, but the wrong "chewing gum method" can really cause harm to the stomach and even the body.
Therefore, chew gum no more than 3 times a day, chew for no more than 15 minutes each time, and do not keep chewing gum in your mouth all the time, otherwise you will develop the habit of grinding your teeth in sleep. If you want to freshen your breath, we can replace it with some other healthy foods, such as celery, celery is a natural tooth care vegetable, it contains minerals phosphorus and iron, which can effectively protect your teeth and is also a very good choice.
