The Secret to Healthy Teeth

HOW to KEEP YOUR TEETH for the REST of YOUR LIFE!

Over 90% of all gum and teeth problems begin BETWEEN the teeth.  If you don’t believe it, I dare you to run a piece of floss between any two molars (back teeth) and see what you pull out.  Notice how it smells!  Decide for yourself if you want that in your mouth!

Studies Champion Omega-3s for Slowing Mental Decline

Two new studies report that regular consumption of omega-3-rich food could prevent age-related cognitive decline. The first study, led by researchers from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, used a longitudinal assessment of 210 men without Alzheimer's disease, collecting dietary data via crosscheck dietary histories in 1990, when the subjects were 70-89 years old. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The authors conclude that over a period of five years, consumers of approximately 400 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day had less cognitive decline than those who consumed only about 20 milligrams per day. A second study from the University of North Carolina used a prospective design to investigate the potential benefits of omega-3 levels in the blood with cognitive decline in 2,251 white adults (average age 57 at baseline). Blood fatty acid concentrations were measured in all subjects at the start of the study and correlated with cognitive function assessed three and nine years later, assessing verbal learning, recent memory, psychomotor performance, linguistic impairment, and global cognition. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the researchers report that global cognitive decline was not associated with omega-3 blood levels at baseline, but a subgroup analysis examining specific types of cognitive decline found that greater blood omega-3 fatty acid levels may prevent a decline in verbal fluency.

Mammography Alternative

The key to surviving breast cancer lies in early detection of angiogenesis, or new blood vessel formations. Breast thermography can show the first signs of angiogenesis.

Health Factoids:

  • 75% of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease.
  • If a thermogram is abnormal you run a future risk of breast cancer that is 10 times higher than a first order family history of the disease.
  • 23% of all breast cancers occur in women under 49.
