We hate to burst the bubble of etiquette watchers, but recent research shows that chomping on gum-ever so politely, of course-can improve both short-and long-term memory (scientists are still figuring out exactly why). And chewing the stuff might also help you slim down! Animal research suggests that frequent chewing can stimulate the brain's satiety center, which is responsible for making us feel full, says lead study author Kathleen Melanson, Ph.D., R.D. (Bonus: Her subjects also had higher energy levels.) Go with a stick of the sugar-free kind.
