Some people concentrate better if they have something else to do, such as Chewing Gum, fiddling with a pencil, or tapping their foot. It distracts part of the brain and lets some people concentrate better with the rest of their brain. But only some people!
Chewing gum does not always help you concentrate. It gives you something to do, and some people concentrate better when their hands and/or mouth are busy.

How does meditation help you to be mindful?

Meditating properly requires that you discipline or train your mind to concentrate on some process such as breathing. The more you meditate properly, the more your ability to concentrate improves. The more you are able to concentrate on whatever you are doing, the more you restrict your mind from wandering uselessly, the less you will feel ill at ease. Therefore, by practicing meditation, you will improve your ability to concentrate. Since all experiences are filtered through your mind, the more you pay attention to them the more you'll get out of them. So paying attention or being more mindful is a great benefit of meditation.
