Chewing Gum Linked to Headaches in Teens

Teenagers are notorious for gum chewing and popping. If your child is a frequent gum chewer and suffers from headaches, you should know that a link has recently been established.

One study involved 30 daily gum chewers between the ages of six and 19 years. Each suffered from chronic migraine or tension headaches. After quitting gum chewing for one month, 19 of them had their headaches go away completely while another seven had a reduction in headache frequency and severity. Twenty-six of the children then started chewing gum again, only to have their headaches return within days.

The researchers believe the headaches may be linked to chewing-gum-induced Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), which may cause headaches. Past research has also suggested chewing gum may cause headaches via aspartame exposure.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a problem affecting the 'chewing' muscles and the joints between the lower jaw and the base of the skull.

The condition itself isn't usually serious, and the symptoms it can cause – including pain, jaw joint clicking or popping, and difficulties eating – usually only last a few months before getting better.

However, these symptoms can significantly lower quality of life, and specialist treatment might be required if they're severe.

8 Reasons Why Coffee Drinkers Are More Likely To Succeed

Most times what you need to get plugged into a project is that shot of caffeine. Coffee does it for me, from the smell to the flow into the cup and that intense swallow. It gets me on the drive. While others are worried about the intensity, for me it’s perfect. I get energy only coffee can provide. I can’t help but remind the worriers of the wonders coffee does to their chances for success. Read this article if you’re hesitant about coffee, and consider all the benefits you stand to gain.

Here is a list of beneficial effects that help coffee drinkers succeed.

1. They are Healthier

Whether it is Alzheimer, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases, coffee has a power against different diseases. People who drink coffee live longer and have lower health risks of developing diseases like Parkinson’s.

2. They are Smarter

It is not just about keeping you awake. There are other reasons that you should drink coffee. It also makes you smarter. The caffeine present in the coffee you drink blocks the adenosine in the brain. Adenosine is an inhibitory transmitter. When this adenosine is blocked you have a higher energy level and you can work at a higher level.

3. They are More Physical

All that fat in your body can be burned by coffee. If you’re doubtful, keep in mind that caffeine is in most commercial fat burning supplements. Caffeine works against fat because it raises metabolism, thus increasing the oxidation of fatty acids. It also mobilizes fatty acids from fat tissues. Caffeine can be helpful in increasing your physical performance.

4. They are Happier

People who take caffeine have fewer bouts of depression. By drinking several cups of coffee, you keep your spirits high and protect you from depression or gloom. The anti-oxidants in coffee may be responsible for keeping your mood up and making you more exciting and positive.

5. They Live Longer

Whether you like it or not, this is confirmed by science. What do you have to say against a substance that lowers the risk of heart diseases, makes you more charged, and positive? Coffee has a lot of other compounds beyond caffeine. Some of the benefits of these compounds have not even been confirmed by science yet. Still, most of these compounds are anti-oxidants that protect your bodies from oxidation. These oxidants are powerful enough to damage molecules in the body.

6. They are Go-Getters

There is an attitude that comes with taking coffee. You want to get the job done. Coffee powers you to start your day early and achieve something. Successful people take coffee and fire up while others are still rolling in bed and still trying to adapt to being awake. Coffee keeps you aware of your environment and gets you started early on time.

7. They are More Alive and More Interesting to Be With

Coffee drinkers are great team players and fun to be with. At the end of the day, it is not about getting the job done. It is also making it fun and having the acceptance of a fun team who considers you likable. With coffee, you are fired up and alive to make your project more energetic and more interesting.

8. They Make More Money

This is according to a study that is based on certain workers in the United Kingdom. When you think of it, it makes a lot of sense. Why wouldn’t coffee drinkers make money when they are more resilient, wake up earlier, and are more active during the day? Coffee drinkers are more fired up for success. They live the experience from every cup of coffee as they want to get the job done.

I’m drinking a cup of coffee now as I write this because I am a firm believer in certain things I write. So, here is my cup of coffee raised to every coffee drinker out there. There are more important reasons to drink coffee, rather than not drink it. And if it is for success, then it is worth it!
