Detoxify Your Mouth, Transform Your Health - Why You Need A Dental Detox

Your mouth is dirty.  

Filthy really.  Some “dirt” is healthy (and needed), but most is harmful to your health.  Most toxins enter your body through your gum tissue. 

Bleeding gums are a direct portal of entry into your bloodstream and your heart.  Inflamed gums become “leaky” and allow toxins, including bacteria and heavy metals to enter your bloodstream which is why there is a direct correlation between oral health and heart disease. 

Today, we are going to dive into the reasons you may need a dental detox and how you can get rid of bad breath, cavities, and gum disease for good!

Soothe Allergy Symptoms Naturally! Better Relief Than A Neti Pot Or Nasal Spray

Did you know that more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies each year?

And that number only continues to grow. 

For many people, allergy symptoms come on quickly when your immune system overreacts to normally harmless substances called allergens.

Recognize these signs?

  • coughing
  • sneezing
  • Itchiness
  • headaches
  • runny nose 
  • watery eyes
  • sinus congestion

That’s what your body does when it releases a chemical called histamine. All of those reactions are a signal that histamine is at work.

Your body’s natural immune response to inflammation and allergic reactions often happens with a loud A-CHOO!

When allergens enter your nose and throat they often turn on a HISTAMINE reaction that includes itchiness and swelling.

Swollen membranes in your sinuses can block your ability to breathe through your nose.

And if you can’t breathe through your nose, you’re missing out on some vitally important health benefits.

If you suffer from allergy issues, you know how essential the flow of oxygen is. Keeping your breathing clear and free is paramount.

Eat Your Sunscreen: The Power of Nutrient-Rich Non Toxic Sunscreen

Despite the widespread use of sunscreen and increased awareness of sun protection measures, the rates of skin cancer have continued to rise steadily over the years. 

Surprisingly, some studies even suggest that the use of sunscreen might be associated with increased rates of melanoma. Moreover, emerging research indicates that certain sunscreen ingredients may contribute to reactive-oxygen-species-mediated DNA damage, raising concerns about their long-term effects on skin health.

Additionally, emerging research suggests traditional topical sunscreen methods don't even offer comprehensive protection against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

These realizations have sparked a growing recognition of the need for alternative approaches to fortify the skin and enhance photoprotection, all without introducing potential toxicity concerns.

In response to this ongoing challenge, scientists and researchers have redirected their focus to the remarkable properties of certain foods. As it turns out, these foods can bolster the skin's defense against UV rays, literally enabling us to “eat our sunscreen.” 

Join us as we explore the concept of "eating your sunscreen" and discover how incorporating certain foods into your diet, in addition to nourishing your skin topically, could provide an additional layer of protection against the sun's harmful rays.
