Some argue that the habit of chewing gum is harmful to health, but research by scientists at the Japan National Research Institute of Science found that this habit works to help increase 10%. thinking ability and acumen.

Coach Alex Ferguson always chews gum when directing on the field.

In the 30-minute experiment, volunteers were asked to press a button with their left or right thumb depending on the direction of the arrow on the screen. The team conducted brain scans of chewing people and did not chew gum when participating in the experiment.

The results of brain scan showed that people who did not chew gum took 545 milliseconds to react when the arrow on the screen changed, while those who chewed rubber glue only lost 493 thousand wires. The areas of the brain that work most actively while chewing gum are related to movement and concentration.

'Our research has shown that chewing gum helps the brain maintain alertness and alertness as well as affect the ability to manipulate movement. These effects can help improve thinking ability , 'scientists said.

Research by Japanese scientists will be good news for those who like to chew gum, like football coach Alex Ferguson. He frequently appeared in the matches of Manchester United with chewing gum.

'The effect of chewing gum on the time of brain response still needs further verification. But football coaches seem to work better when chewing gum , 'said Professor Andy Smith of Cardiff University (Wales).
