CHEWING GUM CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT

Want to cut calories? Chew sugarless gum. A new study from the University of Rhode Island says that chewing sugarless gum may help people eat less. Chewing sugarless gum in the morning led study participants to eat 68 fewer calories at lunch. Chewing gum before and after eating resulted in burning up to 8% more calories during the day. And, there was an added bonus: Gum chewers said that they felt less tired and said doing tasks seemed easier. Maybe this will cause the “gum police” to rethink their position and make it okay to chew in public again.
