Chewing Gums Can Be Productive For Students
According to a new research at Baylor College of Medicine, chewing gums can be productive for students. The 'mouth-exerciser' is now believed to boost academic performance of teenagers. From analyses, researchers found that students who chewed gum showed an increase in standardized math test scores and their final grades were better compared to those who didn't chew gum.
Students
who
chewed
gum
had
a
significantly
greater
increase
in
their
standardized
math
test
scores
after
14
weeks
of
chewing
gum
in
math
class
and
while
doing
homework
compared
to
those
who
did
not
chew
gum.
Chewing gum was associated with a three percent increase in standardized math test scores, a small but statistically significant change, the researchers found.
Previous research conducted in a laboratory setting has shown that gum chewing can help reduce stress, improve alertness and relieve anxiety. The current study builds on this previous research and for the first time, provides a possible role for chewing gum in helping to improve academic performance in a 'real life' classroom setting.
The study has been presented in the 'Late Breaking' Poster Session at the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) Scientific Sessions and Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology 2009.
