Rule #576:
Don’t swallow your gum.
Official Reason: Gum was designed to be chewed not swallowed.
The Truth:
Have you ever got a wonderful stick of peppermint gum, where all of the flavors kept popping out at you, and it was like your taste buds were front row at a concert? While you were chewing your gum, it was like the flavor was endless, always coming back with more. However, while you are enjoying that magnificent piece of peppermint gum, have you ever got the sudden feeling that it was slowly sliding down your throat? At least everyone around the world has swallowed their gum. Many times it’s an accident, however, many people don’t know what truly happens when you swallow gum multiple times.
While your wonderful piece of gum slowly slides down your throat, you never realize that it actually gets stuck there. The gum catches on your esophagus, waiting there for more pieces of gum to link together. However, throughout the years of you accidentally swallowing your gum, the leftover gum in your esophagus will patch over each other, one on one, creating a huge blob of gum that will keep growing.

Sooner or later, you will realize your breathing pattern is quite strange. You will notice that while you’re sitting at home watching your favorite tv show with a bag of potato chips, you feel yourself continuously gasping for air, making you feel like you’re going to pass out and rush to the
Children love candy. Known childhood favorites are Dum Dums and Jolly Ranchers, but who would expect a childhood favorite to harm a child? One calm day 6 year old Easton Newton was playing with toy cars when he opened a hard Jolly Rancher at his best friends desk. While his teacher was checking on another classroom, Easton began to choke and tried to cough his Jolly Rancher up, but couldn’t. Luckily, Shelby Labar, a classmate, immediately rushed to Easton’s side and used the heimlich maneuver they had practiced months before. Easton was now safe. Jolly Ranchers can easily get lodged in the throat of their consumers. Clearly, Dum Dums are the better candy because they are much safer to eat.

The simple act of breathing is often taken for granted. As an automated function sustaining life, most of us do not have to think about the act of breathing. However, for many others, respiratory diseases make this simple act thought consuming. Emphysema is one such disease taking away the ease, but instead inflicting labored breathing and a hope for a cure.
As you practice remember that inhalation and exhalation are both done through the nose and should be an equal amount of time in duration. Make sure to keep your breath flowing and your throat open. Don’t tense your shoulders or jaw. Be careful not to overfill your lungs as it will cause tension. Finally, keep your navel pulled in while breathing.
For many people, becoming breathless after normal exertion is nothing to be concerned about as commented on by Madge and Esmond (2001) and is the expected physiological response to increased activity. However for those who become breathless after minimal exercise or simple daily activities such as walking, going up and down stairs or shopping this can have a significant impact on quality of life for both the person and their family.
Unpleasant breathlessness that comes on suddenly or without expectation can be due to a serious underlying medical condition. Pneumonia can impact the very young and very old, asthma tends to affect young children, smokers are at greater risk of lung and heart disease and the elderly may develop heart failure. However, medical attention always needed by all these conditions as it can affect any age group and severe breathlessnes. There are short and long term causes of dyspnea. Sudden and unexpected breathlessness is most likely tend to be caused by one of the following health conditions. There is accumulating evidence that in many patients, dyspnea is multifactorial in causes, and that in most patients, there is no single, all-encompassing explanation for dyspnea.
It has been long debated whether genetics or the environment in which one is raised impacts human psychological development the most. In Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro shows that nurture cannot overcome one’s hereditary inclinations. Ishiguro exploits a world where human nature powerfully contradicts nurturing. He shows us that people, no matter how they were created or how they were raised, desire to be loved and accepted and need to know where they came from and what their future possibilities are.
There are many ways to blow bubble gum but i'm going to teach you how. First you have to get some bubble gum and then remove a piece from the pack and unwrap it. After opening the wrapper put the gum into your mouth and chew slowly for only a couple minutes until the gum is fully chewable. Some things can go wrong when doing this. One thing is you forgot to take your wrapper off not only will it taste bad but the paper will cause issues in making the bubble. Another issue is You did not chew for a long enough period of time and the gum is still not fully chewy meaning chunks of the new gum is still in there. The last thing that could go wrong is an old piece of gum and will be stale,in the process the gum will take a longer period of time to get chewy and will not have as good of taste as a fresh pack.
Have you ever wondered where your food has gone once you consume it? Through your digestive system where the mass of food undergoes a process called digestion. Digestion is the chemical and physical breakdown of food into forms such as energy or nutrients that can be used by the body’s cells (McKenzie, 2010). The whole process starts in the mouth. The mouth contains a watery substance called saliva. Saliva is important to the whole process of food digestion, because not only does it help with sensing taste, but it is also made up of enzymes that break down the fats and starches in food at a molecular level. The esophagus is a tube where swallowed food travels down to the stomach. The stomach is a muscular sac that acts as a blender and mixes food with acid, hydrochloric acid, which breaks down the swallowed chum and flushes the nutrients into the small intestine (Columbia University, 2010). The hydrochloric acid in the stomach is so powerful it can eat through a leather shoe. However, the stomach contains other chemicals, such as gastric acid, mucus and enzymes that also soften food (Sullivan, 2008). The result thus far in the process of digestion in the stomach is now called chime (Sullivan,

The region of Maghreb, situated along the north-west African coast, has been an Arab-dominated area for more than a thousand years. Today’s Maghreb consists of five countries: Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. Most of the indigenous population regard themselves as Arabs, though there are also many non-Arabs, too. Those include the Berbers, who also regard the Maghreb as their homeland. The region’s language is predominantly Arabic, but to better facilitate international trade and business activities, major languages such as English French, and Italian are also spoken in some Maghreb countries. Religion is overwhelmingly Muslim, with only the smallest percentage being those of the Christian and Jewish faiths. The political systems of the countries are similar. Algeria, Mauritania, Tunisia, Libya all have presidents, while Morocco has a king. Following the Arab Spring, the transformation of power has changed Tunisia and Libya. Also, the king of Morocco pointed to a new constitution and a reduction of his power by elected government. The Mauritania military au...
Food comes in the mouth, and chewing and saliva start to break it up and make it smaller to swallow. Then, the food goes down through the esophagus to the stomach. Moving of the stomach’s muscular wall keeps going to break down the food. The grinded up food eventually passes
When we chew gum, we are basically chewing rubber. Gum started out as latex sap from a tree (the sapodilla). The tree grew in Central America, and the sap we chewed was called chicle. Chicle has the same properties as rubber, because it doesn’t break down when we chew it. Later, after World War II, scientists found a way to create something called synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber is still similar to chicle because it still doesn’t break down when you chew it, but it isn’t natural like chicle is. (How Stuff Works, 2000… April 1st)
Maintaining oral health is extremely important not only for your mouth, but for your overall health (Wallace, Taylor, Wallace & Cockrell, 2010). Poor oral health impacts a person’s quality of life and general health, It causes pain which could result in poor nutrition (Griffin, Jones, Brunson, Griffin & Bailey, 2012). The residents at Menarock aged care have a private dentist from Alpha dental that visits the facility when prompted, although some resident’s families take them to their own family dental professional.
1. Literature Review 1.1 Significance of Oral Health Oral health is important to everyone. People may need to face their own oral problems. Some important findings has been explored. According to the 2001 Oral health Survey established by Department of Health(2001) in Hong Kong and Annual Report 2010 of Bureau of Health Promotion in Taiwan(2010), 9 persons in ten have different level of periodontal disease.
