Why Do Supermodels Chew Gum?
Whenever FashionTV shows the behind-the-scenes of fashion shows, do you ever wonder why are the supermodels constantly chewing on gum? It's like the trade's candy!
The action of chewing actually serves as a form of exercise for our jaws. Jaw movement promotes facial exercise which not only helps to relax the body and increase blood circulation, it also tones up facial muscles.
Perhaps models do know about this - the habitual practice that keeps their face looking slim, toned and elongated.
Facial exercises can help to :
- Reduce stiffness from face
- Reduce formation of wrinkles
- Increases elasticity of skin
- Keep skin muscles in place
- Maintains skin tissues from premature agingIf losing weight is your purpose, chewing gum can help you lose weight! Choose sugarless gum (if you don't want to promote tooth decay), if you get the craving to pop something into your mouth. Chewing helps curb your appetite and gives your mouth something to do, besides snacking in between meals.
Ironically, smoking has almost the same effect. As you inhale, the sucking motion works your facial muscles as well, though lesser than chewing gum. Do not get me wrong, I DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT promote smoking and I definitely do not approve of people picking up that habit. If ever you have the urge to puff, perhaps pick up a gum and chew.
Chewing Gum Is Good.Com *disclaimer : results may not be significant and varies from person to person
Remember, after you chew, dispose of your gum properly. Be responsible socially.
Do your practice this? Do you think it works?

No, I don't practice this and I have no idea if it works, heh.
it sounds interesting
but i don't think it works...
If I am hungry and you give me a piece of sugarless gum, I will throw you down a hill. When someone wants food, they want food. Facial exercises? You know how much gum you'd have to chew in order to witness the most miniscule result? Oh, and the aspartame. Yum yum yum...
Hm, I never see models with gum. I do always see them with a bottle of water, though! Like, literally always!
I really like gum.
i always liked gum. :)
No, I don't do this..and I'm not sure if it'd actually works.
I imagine it does all that this post mentioned since the mouth is moving but their jaw must be sore after.
I think it's because they're actually starving or the cocaine... makes you want some sugar.
but chewing gum too much can also weaken enamel w/e its spelled
Chewing a lot of gum makes it work like a laxative.
Though you'd probs have to chew a lottttttttttt Thought i'd share :)If I still have a while before lunch, I'll chew a piece...convincing my body it's eating something so it'll shut up long enough to hold me over. And if we're out on the town my boyfriend will chew a piece if his acid reflux starts acting up because the mint helps absorb it or something like that (according to his mom...at any rate, it helps however it works).
Chewing too much gum loosens your jaw though. My mom and my cousin used to chew a lot of gum and now sometimes when they chew you can hear this weird clicking sound.
I never knew about the muscle and toning, but I always chew gum if I have a craving. It works!
Uh I actually get hungry when I chew gum.
I thought they chewed gum to rid themselves of cravings..
smoking is gross. i like gum. (:
interesting...
I do this. I chew gum when I am craving.
It works, but I'm really not supposed to chew gum because I have TMJ [some sort of jaw thing], so if I chew gum for too long, it'll give me a headache and a jawache... I also clench my jaw and grind my teeth, er, I just have a lot of issues.
Interesting...
chewing gum tricks your stomach into thinking it's getting some kind of food. terrible on an empty stomach :P
like how you can't stop drooling when you first get braces. uck
They chew gum for the same reasons baseball players do- they don't get to eat fro long hours of time. The sugars from gum helps them from passing out because they haven't eaten anything.
As far as losing weight goes, you're just keeping yourself from easting because there's gum in your mouth. Not a healthy way to lose weight.
i'm pretty sure chewing gum just makes you feel hungry... 'cause the chewing is fooling your stomach into thinking there's something coming down, but there's never anything coming down...
i understand the "benefits" of chewing gum...but I wish people wouldn't chew so OBNOXIOUSLY!!! I hate obnoxious gum chewers, which is 95% of all gumchewers.
