Headache can have many
different causes : stress , fatigue, hormonal problems , and so on and so
forth. Also chewing gum consumption can cause headache.
This is the clear result of a study on 30 teen- agers, victims of recurring
headaches, that stopped consuming chewing gum.
The study showed,
after one month without chewing gum, significant
improvements in the intensity and frequency of headaches for 7 individuals ,
and complete resolution of headache for 19 individuals.
All those teen agers who have next resumed chewing gum consumption, had a bad
surprise: headache again!
The relationship
between chewing gum consumption and headache has been attributed by some
experts to the contents of aspartame, which, however, is present in other
foods, such as “light” sweetened beverages in higher amounts than in chewing
gum. Another possible
cause can be the overloading of the temporomandibular joint, due to prolonged use
of masticatory muscles.
So, if you are always
fighting with headache ... pay attention to chewing gum! Maybe, this is the long-awaited
solution to headache!
