MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Does chewing gum help concentration?

I’ve heard this from a few different people. That chewing gum can help you concentrate and be more production. But is it actually true?!

According to a study done in 2013 by the British Journal of Psychology, they found that people who chewed gum while taking part in a memory challenge were able to stay focused for longer periods of time than those who did not chew gum.

With everyone working from home now and trying to get work done seems like we should all pick up an extra pack of Orbitz next time we’re at the Grocery store.
