Sculpted Jawline: Science

The act of chewing mastic gum engages several key muscles in the jaw, including the masseter, temporalis, lateral, and medial pterygoid muscles. These muscles work in unison to move the jaw up and down, side to side, and front to back. As we chew mastic gum, these muscles undergo resistance training, much like lifting weights at the gym. Over time, this repetitive motion strengthens and tones the jaw muscles, leading to a more pronounced jawline and facial structure. But the benefits don't stop there. Recent research suggests that chewing mastic gum may also have a direct influence on the jaw bone itself. By training the masseter muscles, chewing stimulates the bones in the upper and lower jaw, potentially awakening dormant stem cells in the face. These stem cells play a crucial role in bone remodeling and regeneration, leading to enhanced growth and development of the jaw bone. So, not only does chewing mastic gum give you a workout for your jaw muscles, but it also has the potential to reshape and redefine your facial structure from the inside out.

Historical Uses

For centuries, mastic gum has been treasured as a rare gem of Greece, revered not only for its exquisite flavor but also for its profound healing properties. This ancient remedy holds a special place in Greek tradition and culture. From the shores of Chios, where the resin is painstakingly harvested from the mastic tree, to the ancient halls of Hippocrates' medical teachings, mastic gum has been celebrated as a gift from nature. Hippocrates, the renowned ancient Greek physician referred to as the "Father of Medicine", lauded mastic for its remarkable healing benefits, advocating its use for digestive issues, oral hygiene, and overall wellness. Today, modern science continues to uncover the secrets of mastic gum, revealing its rich array of compounds and properties that contribute to human health. From its antibacterial and antioxidant qualities to its potential for soothing inflammation and supporting gastrointestinal health, mastic gum remains a timeless treasure with enduring benefits for generations to come.

Ordinary Gum: Toxic

Ordinary gum, touted as a harmless indulgence, harbor a host of toxic ingredients that could pose serious risks to your health. Delving into the murky depths of its undisclosed "gum base", one finds a disturbing concoction of rubber, elastomers, resins, plasticizers, and fillers. These ingredients, hidden from public scrutiny, are often compounded with titanium dioxide, a substance banned by the EU for its potential harm to human health. Linked to autoimmune disorders, Crohn’s disease, asthma, and even suspected carcinogenicity, titanium dioxide is just the tip of the iceberg. Enter aspartame, an excitotoxin that wreaks havoc on neural pathways, leading to lowered IQ and a cascade of neurological issues. Its counterpart, acesulfame potassium (K), raises further alarm, as animal studies suggest a correlation between its intake and tumor development. Moreover, gum often boasts a cocktail of plastics, including butadiene-styrene rubber, isobutylene-isoprene copolymer (butyl rubber), paraffin, and various petroleum derivatives. This laundry list of potential toxins is complemented by the likes of BHT, sugar, dextrose, and corn syrup, further compounding the health risks associated with conventional gum consumption. As the veil is lifted on the sinister ingredients lurking within, it becomes evident that ordinary gum may not be so ordinary after all, serving as a cautionary tale against its consumption.

Storage

Proper storage is vital to preserving the quality of your mastic gum. To maintain its ideal texture and consistency for a rock hard jawline, please store the mastic in the fridge or freezer. Overexposure to heat can cause the gum to become too soft and sticky, leading to it sticking to your teeth. By keeping it cool, you'll ensure its hard and resilient chew.
