Recovery Tip of the Day: Chewing Gum Post-Workout |
Turns out, gum isn’t just for fresh breath. Chewing a piece post-workout can boost recovery by stimulating saliva production, which helps neutralize acid buildup in your mouth after an intense session. Plus, the rhythmic motion may reduce cortisol levels, helping your body chill out after all that heavy lifting. Just don’t replace your protein shake with a pack of spearmint—you still need those gains. Next time you’re packing your gym bag, toss in some gum and keep your recovery game on point. |
