How dangerous is chewing gum?
✍️ Ahadjon Abdukhalilov, promoter of healthy living
?Swallowing gum is a bad habit. But if you swallow a small piece of gum, the gum naturally leaves the body within a few days without being digested. The acid environment in the stomach acts as a good defense for the body, in rare cases it can cause constipation.
? It is useful to chew the gum after a meal for 7-10 minutes until the aromatic nutrients in it break down. It is better not to give chewing gum to children until the age of 6-7 years, when they can perceive that swallowing gum is wrong, because in young children, chewing gum can cause allergic reactions and get stuck in the throat and respiratory tract.
❗️If discomfort occurs after swallowing gum, try to wash the stomach with plenty of clean water and artificial vomiting, consult a doctor immediately.
