Does gum help people think better and do better in school!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I'm not sure about gum!? But I do know they have done studies about mint and brain activity!. They say if you eat a mint while taking a test or notetaking or something the mint taste stimulates the brain and improves "thinking" and cognition!. So in a way gum could help (only if its mint flavored though) I mean it doesnt make you a genius in school if you eat a mint, i think it just helps like 5% or something its a really small improvement, probably not even worth it!. But a lot of my teachers hand out those pepermint squirl candies before out midterms and finals and stuff, but I just save them for later when I want to freshen my breath tehe!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Psychology has shown that habits can indeed help the brain!. I learned in my Psychology class (and tested the theory) that if a person does what they do while studying, 30 minutes prior to taking a test, the activity can trigger recall!.

If you drink coffee while studying, drink a cup right before a test!. If you smoke, have a cigarette prior!. If you chew gum, chew gum!. Worked for me and many others in college!. I also found this to work well as a staff nurse in hospital!. If I was having a busy night, with high patient acuity and little time to waste prioritizing a quick cup of tea or stick of gum did help me regain the organization skills that chaos can interfer with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have read about studies being done on this and from what I read it only helps in specific situations!. For example if you are studying for a test and you chew gum, and then when you take the test you chew it, it is been shown to improve test scores!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
