Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Gum Mastic

Metabolic Effect: Although gum mastic is low in calories, it can reduce sweet cravings thanks to the natural flavors it contains. This feature can be beneficial, especially for those on a diet, and can help prevent excessive calorie intake.
Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it after meals or during snacks can prevent sweet cravings and help you make healthier choices. However, it is important not to overdo it and not to exceed a few pieces per day.
Things to Consider: Constantly chewing gum mastic can cause the jaw muscles to overwork and can cause jaw pain in some people. Therefore, it is important to keep the chewing time under control.
Exercise Equivalent: Burning the calories from one piece of gum mastic is almost minimal, but to burn the calories from 10 pieces of gum, it will be enough to take a light-paced walk for about 5 minutes.
