However, after years of trying literally every healthy gum I could get my hands on (trust me: people send me new gums to try all the time, since it's now no secret I'm a gum aficionado), IвЂ™ve discovered some pretty incredible gum options that are not only free of nasty ingredients but actually contain super useful and unique formulas that can do everything from improving your immune system to boosting your mental focus, and even serving as a unique delivery mechanism for potent anti-aging compounds. Not only are these substances definitely not something anyone in their right mind wants swirling around their precious mouth and draining down the back of their throat, eventually seeping into the bloodstream, but they can also potentially undo many of the health benefits of chewing gum. See, most gums in grocery stores are chock-full of artificial sweeteners and flavoring, food coloring, dyes, and even cavity-inducing sugar. I've written in the past about how ancient Vikings chomped down on leather straps during battle so they could clench their teeth better and resist pain, and so even my gum chewing during exercise is arguably an ancient bad-ass European intensity tactic, right?Д«ut if youвЂ™re not careful with your gum choices, youвЂ™re probably doing more harm than good-or perhaps missing out on some of the newer, ultra-healthy gum options out there. It tastes good, satiates my appetite, helps me focus, and keeps my breath oh-so-fresh.ДЇrom a physiological standpoint, though, chewing gum also has many health benefits, such as strengthening your jaw, increasing salivary enzyme production ( my former podcast guest Dean KarnazesВ talked about how he chomped on Greek mastic gum for much of his run across the Spartan marathon course in Greece, to keep his mouth salivated and appetite satiated), promoting a healthy oral environment, and cleaning your teeth. In fact, other than, of course, sitting down to eat a meal or record a podcast, there is rarely a moment when IвЂ™m not chewing on some kind of gummy-gooey goodness.

Heck, I've been halfway through a meditation session sometimes before I realize I've still got gum in my mouth. If you see me on a video, working out, sometimes even recording a podcast, out in public at a speaking event, ambling about a conference, or just walking down the street, chances are, I will be chomping on a piece of gum. I did it in the five days leading up to Christmas in an attempt to mitigate the effects of endless mince pies and mulled wine, which worked quite well.IвЂ™m a bit of a gum chewer- probably a well-above-average chomping enthusiast compared to the general population. Doing it for three or four weeks in a row, combined with Portion Fix, would be a great way to get in shape for a holiday.

If you love 21 Day Fix but have done it to death, this provides something similar in terms of intense but manageable thirty minutes workouts designed to be done on consecutive days. That said, I feel this is also a good programme in its own right. ItвЂ™s a little easier вЂ“ though still no joke вЂ“ and is a good opportunity to get used to some unfamiliar equipment and fairly complex moves. If you are intending to give 80 Day Obsession a try, IвЂ™d highly recommend setting aside 5 days to try this one first. The workouts fall into the same categories as those in its sister programme (Total Body Core, Booty, AAA, Cardio Core, and Legs), make use of the resistance bands and strength slides in the same way, and have a similar focus on the abs and bum, while still providing a good overall body workout and calories burn. As the name suggests, itвЂ™s intended as a sample of/introduction to/warm up for the forthcoming 80 Day Obsession. A Little Obsessed is a five day mini-programme from Autumn Calabrese, exclusive to Beachbody on Demand, consisting of five thirty minute workouts.
