Old wives tale. Mostly a waste of time (except for peanuts).
You get the solution faster than uncrushed tablet. At times a patient can not swallow the tablet and crush it before swallowing. But it is is not recommended to crush the tablets. That is problematic in case of delayed or sustained release tablets as well as for enteric coated tablets. You have the disturbed phrmacokinetics or the drug may get destroyed by acid in the stomach.
Yes!! I've tried it many times before. but you might have to do it a couple of times. or just let it rain ;)
This is a very old observation, from the prehistoric times.
Spider silk is the strongest natural fibre ever known as it is six times stronger than steel by equivalent mass and it can stretch 50% of its length before it breaks.
According to studies food should be chewed about 32 times, foods that are harder to chew, such as steak and nuts may need up to 40 chews per mouthful. For foods that are softer such as mashed potato and watermelon you can get away with chewing just 5-10 times.
Chew 19 times before swallowing
The times you see them chewing are when they are chewing their cud.
It all depends on how much and what kind of food it is eating.
I have this problem if I don't chew every mouthful very thoroughly ( at least 20 times per mouthful). When I do remember to chew thoroughly - no problem.

One tablet of this type is nitroglycerin, a vasodialator (expands blood vessels), that is placed under the tongue, and absorbed this way, rather than by chewing or swallowing. This type of medication is called a sublingual tablet (meaning "under the tongue").
i have the same question man. i have been chewing on stuff since I've was kid. i have chewed on pencils, paper, pens, chairs, plastic, aluminum foil, fabric, blankets, pretty much anything i can get my hands on. i found that chewing gum helps, because at least it's sort of productive chewing. buying gum daily could be expensive though, and I've gone up to 3 packs in one day more times then i can remember. i also end up swallowing the gum, which could be unhealthy...
Yes, gum chewing helps you stay wake and alert at times in class.
It depends on the severity of the chewing, but generally, call the doctor if it is not healed within a week from the last chew.
Riding on a plane is similar to riding on a bus. It can be noisy, bumpy, and uncomfortable at times. But unlike a bus, you are often served beverages and/or food. You may also have a tv or movie to watch. You will probably feel some pressure in your ears as you change altitudes but that is normal and can relieved by simply swallowing, yawning, or chewing gum.
Well its made by you drinking something lots of times or swallowing air or eating something and then u FART :D or BURP
