Reported 7 months ago

Many people tend to snack when under stress, not due to actual hunger, but to relax and release stress through the act of chewing. Chest and critical care specialist Dr. Huang Hsuan explains that chewing itself has a relaxing effect, aiding in stress relief, with a UK study finding that chewing gum can reduce self-rated anxiety. Chewing helps to distract attention, reduce tension, and create a sense of satisfaction, contributing to stress relief. Research emphasizes the potential of chewing gum as a simple and feasible method for stress management, reducing cortisol levels and promoting relaxation.
