The Wellness of YOU! - # 186 - Brush Your Teeth!
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |As you’ve probably figured out, I’ve been away from writing to you for quite a few days. I had to go into the hospital for some repairs and am home now and resting up. I’ll keep today’s article short — and I also want to talk with you about Mother’s Day.
I remember reading somewhere about the fact that dental diseases may be an indicator of potential heart problems. So, I decided to do a little research and see what I could find out about it.
It turns out that Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) may provide a clue that you have some risk factors for heart attack or stroke. Any type of inflammation is dangerous because it causes plaque (fat and cholesterol deposits) to break loose and clog your arteries.
You are also aware that we don’t do a very good job in this country of eating the right foods. If we can learn to avoid consuming so many foods that contain excess refined carbs and sugar, our tooth decay problems would be greatly reduced. Tooth decay will mess up our gums and we’ll have plenty of inflammation problems.
And also, vigorous oral hygiene — including frequent brushing, flossing, regular checkups, and professional cleanings — is the most important factor in maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
MOTHER’S DAY NEWS!
Did you know that the original Mother’s Day was conceived to bring war to an end? That’s right! It wasn’t thought up as a way to get us to buy a bunch of stuff for Mom. Nope! Mother’s got together to advocate for peace.
Julia Ward Howe, the author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, wrote the original Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1870 calling upon the women of the world to unite for peace. She had just witnessed the carnage of the American Civil War and the start of the Franco-Prussian War.
In honor and respect for the real Mother’s Day, I’d like to share with you a 21st century video reading of that original Mother’s Day proclamation with Vanessa Williams, Felicity Huffman, Christine Lahti, Alfre Woodward, Fatma Saleh, Ashraf Salimian, and Gloria Steinem, on behalf of an organization called “No More Victims”.
“No More Victims” is a non-profit organization which brings war-injured Iraqi children to the United States for medical treatment — like Salee, a ten-year-old Iraqi girl. Last November, she lost her brother and both her legs just outside her home in Hasswa. Donations to “No More Victims” would help Salee to go to Shriner’s Hospital in Greenville, South Carolina to receive six months of surgery and prosthetics services.
In this small way, I’m hoping that you will help me to honor the origins of Mother’s Day with this short online video. Share this with your Mom and with your family and friends.
