Photo '20 Ways' #06 Exercise: Chewing gum can improve memory. Research shows that people who chewed throughout tests of both long-term and short-term memory produced significantly better scores than people who did not. Nourish your brain by chewing gum: chewing could stimulate insulin production. Insulin receptors are fairly densely packed into the hippocampus area of the brain, which is the area responsible for memory. Ellen Griffin - writer for the award-winning YourHealth.com web site, for ThirdAge.com where she directed health and fitness content and for Healthcare Forum Journal - wrote that gum-chewing subjects outperformed control groups in tests measuring attention span, response rates and both long-term and short-term memory. |
