Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
I'm Rob.
And I'm Finn.
Hello.
Hello Finn.
Are you chewing gum over there?
Yeah, hang on.
I'll just stick it under the desk for now.
Yuck.
That's revolting.
Why'd he go put it in the bin?
Since when did you take up this antisocial habit?
And antisocial means annoying to other people, by the way.
Yeah, well, okay Rob, fine.
Well, since I heard that there was evidence that chewing gum can improve your brain.
Ah.
So, how does it do that?
Well, some experts say that the chewing action can lead to an increase in blood flow to the brain.
