Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Chewing Gum

Metabolic Effect: Chewing gum can help suppress hunger and speed up metabolism. However, calorie-free gums should be preferred. Sweeteners can cause digestive problems in some people.
Consumption Recommendation: Chewing it after meals or between meals can help reduce sugar cravings. However, chewing gum for a long time and continuously can tire the jaw muscles.
Things to Consider: Sugary gums are harmful to dental health and can contribute to weight gain. Therefore, sugar-free gums should be preferred. Excessive gum consumption can lead to stomach problems.
Exercise Equivalent: Almost no exercise is needed to burn the calories in one piece of gum, but a 5-minute light-paced walk is enough to burn the calories in 5-10 pieces of gum.
