Chewing gums make people cleverer
Researches of British scientists reveal, people may get cleverer
because of chewing gums.
Experts from the University of Northumbria and the Association for
cognitive research have discovered positive effect of chewing gum
on thinking and memory. Andrew Sholy from the Association for
cognitive research says: “We have discovered that when you chew a
gum, it produces a positive effect on the memory. You recollect
more words at that and perform much better at memory volume
tests.”
In Sholy’s words, the success of the memory tests is explained with
more frequent heart contraction and insulin ejection to the brain.
When heart contraction gets a bit more frequent, the brain gets
more oxygen and glucose; their amount makes for improvement of
cognitive processes.
The scientist also supposes, the insulin ejection is caused with
salivation increase. Sholy says: “The brain sections in charge of
training and memory also consist of insulin receptors.”
