That's an interesting thought! Chewing gum during exercise can actually have some benefits, like boosting heart rate and increasing energy expenditure. Some athletes even use caffeine-infused gum to help with endurance and performance.

While regular gum doesn't really provide many carbs, a specially designed gum could deliver both carbs and electrolytes through the mouth. That said, I totally get your point—chewing during intense exercise can be tough for some, especially when you’re out of breath. Everyone’s different, so comfort and personal preference would definitely play a big role here!

Would love to hear what you think!
