Yes! Chewing gum can help to improve memory and enhance cognitive power. But to be more specific, it is not the gum that can actually improve our memory, but the act of continuous chewing or moving of our jaw. And gum of course induce the act of chewing, and can make chewing more fun!

The theory that chewing improves memory has some scientific basis because according to what I read, a group of Japanese researchers learned that the activity in the hippocampus, the area of our brain that is important for memory increases while people chew. And Dr Andre Scholey from the University of Northumbria likewise state that chewing increases heart rate and increased heart rate improves oxygen delivery to the brain which can enhance our cognitive powers.

Now we know the scientific reason why some people become more attentive and feel more alert when they chew gum and why does chewing can take away sleepiness. So the next time you feel slack when studying or feel sleepy inside classroom, chew some gum or move your jaw up and down to revive your cognitive power.

I knew that but I don’t like chewing gum. I will try chewing something else or just think that I have something in my mouth and chew. Will that help or something is needed to be in the mouth to be more effective?

Chewing gum it though to improve memory for a variety of reasons. One school of thought it that it increases blood flow to the brain. Another is that chewing gum tricks your body into thinking it is about to get a nutritious meal. This causes you body to increase blood glucose levels giving the chewer a boost. A third reason chewing gum could improve memory is because of the peppermint in some chewing gums which keeps people alert.
There is a gum that just came out called Think Gum which uses these properties of chewing gum along with some others and caffeine to improve memory. I chew it and like it and think it is coo how something as simple as chewing gum can work so well.

I actually have a post about that on my site too. I read the same thing that chewing can improve your memory. I do seem to remember that as you say will increase the flow of oxygen and thus allow the brain to function more effeciently.

If you have a life that is in turmoil on a daily basis, unorganized and over packed with activities, never allowing yourself adequate care, your memory is certain to develop some degree of suffering. It is surely something that will require some thought and time to repair. You must first take stock of your priorities. How well do you care for your mind and body? Maybe you think a quick rush to the gym will do the trick. The key here is ‘rush’.

A unit of UK psychologists has claimed that manduction gum may be able to ameliorate remembering, and they hump launch that those who chewed gum throughout tests of squatty word and longest quantity store performed significantly modify than those who did not. Gum manduction, nonetheless, did not create meliorate store linked reaction nowadays, which are misused to mensurate attention.Saint Scholey of the University of Northumbria in Newcastle, UK declared “these results engage the forward evidence that mastication gum can amend eternal term and employed faculty.” He went on to utter that “there are a wares of potential explanations, but they are all really speculative.”In the endeavor, a tierce of the 75 adults in the judge chewed gum patch they participated in the 20 small assault of attention and remembering tests. Another position pretended to grind gum, spell the remaining position did not quid.The prove scores of the gum chewers were few 24% higher than the mechanism radical for tests of quick promise memory, and both 36% higher on tests of abeyant speech resemble. The gum chewers were also writer precise on tests involving primary employed store….

I love chewing gum but it doesn’t like my teeth. But, that aside, I loved Doublemint and Juicy fruit – my two favorites. I also love Dentyne. But, I figured you would find the driving license once you ordered another one! That’s how it always happens. But in a pack of gum?

I have also heard of this and other techiques that helps your brain functioning better. I believe it’s keeps your brain focused and alert when dealing with long hours of study and reading. We had a teacher in college that let us play with a stress ball in class and actually I believe it helped us remember more.
