Chewing Gum does not directly help digest food faster, but it can stimulate saliva production, which aids in the digestive process. Increased saliva can help break down food more effectively as it contains enzymes that begin the digestion of carbohydrates. Additionally, the act of chewing may promote gastric motility, potentially helping food move through the digestive system more efficiently. However, the overall impact on digestion speed is minimal.

Hardest food for a human to digest?
There are a few top contenders, but it is suspected that the hardest food for a human to digest is bread. In order to digest food, enzymes are needed, which are secreted by the pancreas. Because bread has no naturally occurring enzymes (unlike a lot of other food) the pancreas has to work exceptionally hard, producing extra enzymes to break down the bread. Other food products that are hard to digest include pork, beans, broccoli and whole-milk hard cheese.
