Go ahead and chew

Chewing gum is GOOD for the brain and can boost alertness by 10% says a report in the Journal of Brain and Cognition

The newly published research suggests as many as eight different areas of the brain are affected by the simple act of chewing.
One theory to explain the increased performance is that it increases arousal and leads to temporary improvements in blood flow to the brain.
