Gum Chewing
Found to Boost Brainpower, Memory
(London, Reuters Health, 3/13/02)
A joint study by the University of Northumbria and the
Cognitive Research Unit, Reading, concluded that the
repetitive motion involved in chewing gum may have a positive
effect on cognitive functions, including memory. Researchers
speculate that, by slightly increasing heart rate, the chewing
may bring more oxygen and glucose to the brain. |
