Chewing gum for more than 10 minutes badly affects your teeth and stomach

Gum can make your breath cool, but if you chew for too long, for 10 minutes or more, can cause some problems in your teeth and stomach.

The reason for not chewing candy stars for longer than 10 minutes

Dr. Uchenna Okoye (UK), a dentist, warned: "Only chew gum should be chewed for 10 minutes or until the taste is gone. Otherwise, you will have many health problems " According to her, the function of the teeth is to chew, while the longer the gum stays in the mouth, the softer. People tend to chew what frequency is in their mouths and when chewing soft candy, the teeth start hitting each other causing cracking, chipping and breaking.

"Your teeth function like a pestle and mortar. When you chew, you need something in the middle, otherwise your teeth will bump into each other and cause chipping," Dr. Uchenna told Health. On the other hand, according to natural reflexes, when you chew, the stomach is activated to wait for the food to drift down and start producing acid. This mechanism stimulates the stomach lining, which can cause stomach ulcers in people who often chew gum all day.
