Your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modern vs. Ancient Diets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People in the Paleolithic region<\/strong>\u00a0hunted for food thousands of years ago.\u00a0These dietary patterns are what our bodies have evolved to follow for most of human history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What was an ancient diet like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Meat (including all parts of an animal)<\/li><li>Fish and seafood<\/li><li>Vegetables and fruits<\/li><li>Nuts and seeds<\/li><li>Oils\/butters (in certain civilizations)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be asking yourself, &#8220;Sure. But didn&#8217;t ancient people have&nbsp;<em>horrible<\/em>&nbsp;teeth?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth be told, ancient people had\u00a0better dental health\u00a0that most of the developed world today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weston A.\u00a0Price is best known for his\u00a0discoveries of the 1930s\u00a0which reflected ancient diets that produce healthy teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He visited native tribespeople who had straight, healthy teeth and ate a diet very different to the modern day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After&nbsp;<em>just one generation<\/em>, these children were exposed to a starchy, bread-laden diet and experienced a dramatic increase in their chances of developing orthodontic problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is missing from a modern diet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These diets differed not only because of the differences in sugar, bread, or processed foods.\u00a0Price noted that native cultures ate a nutrient he called &#8220;Activator X&#8221;.\u00a0Experts believe this to be the first discovery of\u00a0vitamin H2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin K2 is an essential nutrient for\u00a0the synergistic movement\u00a0calcium throughout the body to strengthen teeth and bones.\u00a0This process, which also requires vitamins D and A, makes teeth more susceptible to decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason modern diets may cause an increase in cavities might be that the textures of food are no longer varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A diet high in leafy greens and animal meats, butters and seeds can offer many textures for chewing, which is great for cleaning your teeth and keeping them clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saliva and its Role<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>spit<\/em>&nbsp;is essential to healthy teeth.&nbsp;Saliva is an extracellular fluid that provides nutrients to your teeth and protects you from harmful bacteria. It must be in good condition to prevent cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushing your teeth does very little for saliva quality.&nbsp;The quality and quantity of saliva is affected by your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy saliva can help protect your teeth all day long by promoting nutrient-dense food, which are low in empty calories, processed sweets, acidic ingredients, artificial sugars and processed sugars HTML1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the importance of brushing for your dental health?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be asking yourself if I recommend\u00a0brushing teeth\u00a0<em>all<\/em>.\u00a0Yes, it is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental health is improved by brushing your teeth. This helps to disorganize bacteria on the teeth&#8217;s surface.&nbsp;This makes it less likely for bacteria to accumulate over time, causing &#8220;acid attacks&#8221;, which eat away at tooth structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional benefits can be obtained by using a\u00a0<strong>tooth paste with fluoride or hydroxyapatite<\/strong>\u00a0as an active ingredient.\u00a0These compounds protect the tooth structure against decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even a thorough brushing routine can take up only a few minutes each day.&nbsp;Your dental health is affected by the food you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Good oral hygiene and a healthy diet are best paired together.&nbsp;While brushing your teeth may fill in the gaps caused by poor diets, it won&#8217;t fix all the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s the bottom line?&nbsp;You should brush your teeth twice a day. But, you should focus most your attention on giving your body (and your teeth) the nutrients they need to be healthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go to the dentist and brush your teeth.
