7 chewing Gum Benefits That May Surprise You!

#7 – Relieves ear pressure during flights

Flying can really hurt your ears due to changes in air pressure during takeoff and landing, but fortunately, you don’t have to wait until the discomfort arrives to pinch your nose.

If you pop a gum as soon as you grab your seat (and another one minutes before landing), the increase in saliva production will make you swallow more often, a movement that can equalize ear pressure.
