Why can we not have mints or sugar free gum?

Gum Chewing and Mints
First of all, part of this program that I think is essential is that it allows us, for a brief period, to concentrate on other things besides our mouth!!! If we do not break the habit of putting things in our mouth every minute of every day, we will never break the obsession and hold it has over us!! So, being a gum chewer for years, and a tic-tac fanatic, this was a switch for me ~ to say the least. What I found, was that when I had bad breath or a bad taste in my mouth, it became a sign that I needed to drink more water to flush toxins. Over time, I found that my need for these oral fixations slowly left me.

Secondly, these products are made from "junk". Plain and simple, we are trying to glean a new "clean" perspective for eating and what we put in our bodies. The chemicalized sugars in these gums and mints are the reason that our brain chemistry is askew in the first place, so why create that situation again??!! If you really need something for "bad breath" and adding extra water isn't helping ~ try sucking on a whole clove. suck on it until the "prickly" edges are soft, and then chew it! it is natural! Also, essential oils are great for this as well. Peppermint essential oil is a great breath freshener.

Thirdly, putting anything in your mouth is an indication to the body that the digestion process is beginning. If our body is constantly in a digesting mode, it takes the focus off of healing, restoring, repairing, eliminating, and regenerating. When are we, as a society, going to let our bodies do the things it was designed for?! Break the habit now, use this time to stop focusing on your mouth and let your body find a new level of normalcy.
