Many people like chewing gums they only enjoy chewing it plus the fresh breath of mint in it, but have you ever taken your time know what they cause to your digestive system?
In this post let me talk about the negative impact of chewing gums.
Tooth decay
Frequent chewing of gums leads to dental health problems like tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. The sugar from chewing gum coats your teeth and gradually damages the tooth enamel, especially if you don’t clean your teeth immediately afterward.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder.
Chewing gum can result in jaw muscle imbalance or TMJ in your jaw, especially if you chew on one side of the mouth more than the other.
Whenever you overuse a set of muscles, it results in contracted ligaments and debilitating pain. It can also lead to earaches, toothaches, and headaches.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS is a gastrointestinal disorder that causes cramping, abdominal pain, and unusual bowel patterns. While chewing gum, you swallow excess air. It can contribute to IBS, which in turn leads to bloating and abdominal pain. When you chew gum while hungry it wakes up enzymes this leads to stomach pain
The artificial sweeteners in gum, such as Mannitol and Sorbitol, have also been found to cause diarrhea.
"Last but not least, save you teeth and stomach, never chew gum while hungry "
