Good News : Chewing Gum, Do You know how good it is ?

A new study has proved that chewing gum after abdominal surgery may help in recovery. Researchers have collected information from several different studies and are publishing the final results in the August issue of The Archives of Surgery.

Chewing gum reduces the time for the gut to become active, lowering the incidence of obstruction of the bowel and stimulating the release of gastrointestinal hormones.

Furthermore, gum chewers have better chances of avoiding nausea and vomiting, often caused by eating too soon after the operation.

Chewing gum may be bad for your teeth as the dentist will always remind you. However, natural chewing gum contains ingredients that will not damage your teeth.

In fact, ingredients such as Xylitol and Peelu may help cleaning your teeth, decreasing tooth decay and dental plaque acid production.
