Chewing gum post-food may reduce blood pressure
A British study has revealed that chewing gum after consuming nitrate-rich vegetables, such as beetroot, can lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure by affecting the oral bacteria. This process increases the production of nitrite, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow. The findings showed that sugary gum increased oral acidity and resulted in a temporary decrease in blood pressure, averaging 3 mm Hg for systolic and 2 mm Hg for diastolic pressure. However, this is not a permanent treatment. The researchers confirmed that eating nitrate-rich vegetables remains the most effective option for heart health.
