Chewing gum is more than just a habit; it has potential benefits for weight loss. Evidence suggests chewing gum aids in reducing hunger by increasing saliva production, satisfying cravings, and keeping the mouth busy. A recent comprehensive review indicated that increased chewing leads to decreased appetite and related hormone changes. Notably, several studies demonstrated significant findings such as reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness associated with gum chewing. Additionally, brushing teeth after meals can psychologically reinforce the end of eating.
Collectively, studies indicated that chewing gum offers numerous benefits, including appetite suppression and a significant decrease in hunger levels, useful for weight loss.
Increased mastication cycles effectively reduce postprandial appetite and influence appetite-related hormones, enhancing feelings of fullness and satisfaction.
