Do you feel calm when you chew gum?

I just saw an ad and it mentioned that chewing gum makes us feel calm. I wasn't aware of this. I have never felt calm while I was chewing gum. This is a bit weird for me. I read about this and it seems like it's true. I will copy here what I found: ''Chewing gum also has been associated with reduced anxiety [9], and a recent report proved that long-term chewing gum was effective in reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and improving test scores in school nursing students.'' This is interesting.

I seldom if ever chew gum but if it does work on calming me down, I will give it a try since I am in desperate need of lowering my anxiety levels.

Yes, sometimes the act of chewing gum can act as a distraction and helps some people.
