The Advantages of Natural Toothpaste

The Advantages of Natural Toothpaste

Using natural toothpaste is something you may never have even considered. But, if you’re concerned about reducing the chemicals in your body and living a more natural and health life, you should give all-natural dental products a try.

Natural toothpaste cleans your teeth and freshens your breath without the use of harmful chemicals. There are many harmful things in traditional toothpastes, such as sodium laurel sulfate, which is detergent and is a known skin irritant. Regular toothpastes also often contain saccharin, which has been linked to cancer in laboratory rats. Even the fluoride that we’ve always thought of as good for our teeth is a chemical that can be toxic in large doses. Adults have more to fear from fluoride than to gain.

Toothpastes with natural ingredients provides just as much cleaning as chemical laden toothpaste. Most of the actual cleaning of the food and debris that get on your teeth comes from the act of brushing rather than the toothpaste, anyway. What toothpaste does that’s really important is kills the germs that cause bad breath and gingivitis. Most natural toothpastes contain mint and other herbs. Mint oils are actually the most effective ingredient for killing germs in the mouth. Most all-natural toothpastes contain more mint and herbal oils than regular toothpaste, so they actually kill more germs than the toothpaste you buy at the drugstore. And, many of them are very concentrated, so you use far less toothpaste than before.

Using toothpastes with natural ingredients is also a great way to prevent the gum disease gingivitis. Because this disease is caused directly by the germs that build up in the mouth, better germ killing equals less chance of gingivitis. The mint oils used in high concentration in natural toothpastes are the best way to rid your mouth of germs. They also do a better job of getting rid of bad breath, so they’re an especially good choice for people with severe halitosis problems.…

Small Diet Changes for Bodybuilding

When you begin bodybuilding that means altering your diet, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete renovation that’s going to leave you hungry and unsatisfied with no sweet things or fat and if your smart it really needn’t be a big challenge. For instance, there are some easy incidental ways you can cut your fat intake and change your sweet tooth so that you begin craving healthier foods at the same time. For example, teach yourself to drink tea without sugar and to eat toast without butter. You should also cut out drinking soft drinks in favour of fruit drinks and water and remove the extra oil from your cooking; if you stir regularly and cook onions first it won’t stick, even just a bit of water will do or if you must then use vegetable oil. You can also use healthy snacks to satisfy your cravings, so that instead of eating crisps or chocolates you’re eating nuts, sunflower seeds or raisins (nuts being a protein source and the latter of which supplying a steady flow of carbs).
So far so good, but there are further complications to eating the protein that you need to understand when bodybuilding and this is the other way you need to change your diet. One complication is just how hard it is to consume the required amount of protein; a boiled egg only contains about six grams of protein, so say you’re 180 pounds that would mean you’d have to eat around 30 eggs. 300 grams of tuna – that’s a full can – contains 23.5 grams of protein. So that would be eight cans of tuna minimum and not all of that protein would be absorbed by the body. So in a real day you’d probably have to eat something like three eggs, a can of tuna, a large chicken and several protein shakes.…

Childhood Nutrition – Taking a Closer Look at the Mixed Messages We Send Our Kids

Children’s nutrition is a loaded subject. At no other time in our lives is building a solid foundation for health more important. Yet, at no other time in our lives are we so completely at the mercy of others making decisions for us.
That means it’s up to the grown-ups in a child’s life to understand the importance of healthy food (and beverage) choices in order to introduce healthy habits to their children.
Easier said than done! It seems as though, in the case of children’s nutrition specifically, the simplicity of healthy choices becomes muddled with strange connotations of what a “happy childhood” should be and what our oftentimes skewed views of food are as adults.
Our society is familiar with the concept of an early window of opportunity to teach children things like foreign languages or a skill, like playing a musical instrument. We’ve heard that children are at peak developmental stages very early in life, and therefore we should maximize their opportunities by teaching them these advanced concepts at early ages.
Whether you agree or not, have applied it with your children or not, it’s a socially acceptable concept that seems to make sense to most people. It’s peculiar that, as a society, we don’t yet understand that the very same principles apply to the health of a child.
The early developmental years are a critical time for creating a solid foundation for nutritional health, as well as movement and mindset. What we feed our children (or what we passively allow them to eat or others to feed them), and what we teach our children about nutrition NOW will impact their health for the rest of their lives.
Our family is certainly not perfect in any way, including our nutritional choices. But, we stick to a few basic principles overall in an ongoing, concerted effort to make the healthiest choices possible. We apply the simple Wellness Formula to all of our lifestyle choices, including the nutritional ones.
The Wellness Formula describes how health is created and how sickness is allowed to develop. In order to create optimal health and function, we must make pure and sufficient choices. As described by Wellness expert, Dr. James Chestnut, these are things that meet our body’s innate genetic requirements for health. The two types of choices that move us unequivocally away from health are toxic and deficient ones. Toxic choices are things that work against our body’s efforts to create health – they are not requirements for health.
In applying this to children’s nutrition, we simply talk about what food choices the body truly needs in order to build a strong, healthy body and a brilliant mind, as opposed to which choices are interfering with our body’s efforts and are leading to a loss of health. Kids get this. There are building blocks for health, and then there are things that come by and destroy what you’ve been building. You get to choose.
Another concept that works around here is, “fill up with health first”. It’s not about saying you can “never” have that cookie or that birthday cake or that less-than-healthy food choice. It’s about making sure you’ve given your body what it needs first – the raw materials for building health. If you know you’re going to be eating something more toxic later in the day, then make sure you fuel up with lots of healthy choices first, that’s all.
It’s also about teaching responsibility and accountability to kids when it comes to their health. There are limitations to matter! They can’t fill up with health first, then choose toxic garbage every single day. That’s too much for our physiology to overcome. A toxin is a toxin, no matter how much broccoli preceded it!
As grown-ups, we sure do pass on some odd beliefs and customs to our younger generation regarding food. One example is how we talk about food. When a food choice obviously doesn’t create any health, and in fact moves us away from health, should we really be calling it a “treat”? Isn’t that completely mixed messaging we’re sending our children (and ourselves)? It’s not a treat if it’s contributing to chronic illness!
Let’s call it like it is. How about a “tasty toxin”! (Thanks to Dr. Chestnut for that little gem!) Sure, it tastes great… and you should go ahead and enjoy it in that moment once you’ve made the choice. But let’s be perfectly clear – it’s not good for you and making that choice with any regularity has devastating consequences over time.
That’s the crux right there. If we truly understood the consequences of the choices we’re making on behalf of our children, we’d choose differently. If we clearly understood the consequences of that toxic choice, maybe we’d pass on it. If we clearly …

My Relationship to Food

Last week I realized that some of my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) vegetables had come to the end of their life before I could use them all. It was a sad day when I had to throw out some things that I fully intended to eat and didn’t. No excuses. I just had not made time to prepare all my veggies. Even if I couldn’t eat all of them in a week, I certainly could have thrown together a pot of soup and frozen it.
Physician, heal thyself! I’ve kind of lost touch with my food and my kitchen lately. If I don’t spend enough time preparing the food I eat and keeping my refrigerator and cabinets cleared of anything unusable, I don’t eat as well as I would otherwise.
So, I spent some quality time thoroughly cleaning out the frig and getting back to square one with what was there and could be used this week. The feeling of accomplishment and completion after that kind of task is one I relish. It took less than a half hour and the return on that investment of time was huge!
The concept of Primary Food™ is that career, spirituality, physical activity and relationship(s) are primary to the nourishment of our whole being, and what we put into our mouth is secondary. When I began thinking about the relationship part of Primary Food and my relationship to food itself, it was kind of an a-ha moment for me.
During the cooler months of the year I spend much more time preparing food. It makes me feel warm and cozy to have the stove and oven going and just spend time in the kitchen. The more time we spend with anyone or anything, the closer the relationship. Therefore, the more quality time I spend with my food, the better my relationship is to it.
This quality time has gone begging lately and I feel it. Just grazing on whatever is handy, even if it is healthful, doesn’t satisfy the need for really nourishing myself with food that is lovingly prepared and eaten mindfully.
Of course, one could go totally overboard with this theory. Like everything else, there has to be a balance. Hanging out in the kitchen all day, cooking and eating, would soon lead to an unhealthy relationship to food. The challenge is always balance! But when we find it, it’s so satisfying!
As I study dietary theories I am struck by how amazing Joshua Rosenthal’s idea of Primary Food™ really is. As I visit with clients, this is an area that I focus on with individuals who may be struggling with their relationship to food. I know how much this concept is benefitting me and so I am eager to share it with others.
This week, invest 30 minutes of your precious time in yourself by connecting with your food. See what’s really in your refrigerator, toss unusable items, and create something delicious with what is remaining. If you want to play that game where you tell someone the ingredients you have and they tell you what to do with them, shoot me an email! I’ll play!
Many Healthful Returns, Kay…

Choosing the Best Whitening Toothpaste for Your Image

Choosing the Best Whitening Toothpaste for Your Image

People these days are spending more time in front of cameras than ever before. Family members are increasingly staying in touch through the magic of video chat, and office workers are communicating more and more through the same means. Additionally, the surge in social networking means that peoples’ faces are on display everywhere throughout cyberspace. As people see more of themselves, they are becoming more aware of possible improvements to their images. Some people have resorted to expensive cosmetic procedures, but you do not have to spend much money to make yourself look your best. In fact, the ideal way to improve your image is to find the best whitening toothpaste. By using such a product, you can make your smile shine and ensure that others see the best possible version of you.

You might be reluctant to use whitening toothpaste because you have white teeth questions. Like many people, you are probably skeptical about the effectiveness of whitening toothpaste. While some such toothpastes promise more than they deliver, there are products available that can give you the results you desire. Many people also have questions about the safety of whitening toothpastes. If you are concerned about the health effects of whitening your teeth using toothpaste, you can rest assured that toothpaste designed to make your teeth whiter is just as healthy and safe as conventional toothpaste.

When it is time to purchase the best whitening toothpaste, the choices can be overwhelming. Every popular brand has jumped on the whitening bandwagon, it seems. Most of the products contain similar ingredients, while others offer whitening in a combination with ingredients designed to freshen breath or fight tartar. Most whitening toothpastes work by simply removing stains from the surface of your teeth. When used in combination with bleaching products, these toothpaste options can be somewhat effective after you use it for several weeks. However, if you require the absolute best whitening paste, you should select a product containing a chemical known as blue covarine. This chemical is safe, plus it can make your teeth appear whiter after just one or two brushings.

As your image becomes more prominent across the web and elsewhere, you need to ensure that your smile looks its best. Although many people are engaging in expensive and complicated methods as a means to brighten their smiles, you do not have to strain your wallet in order to achieve the look you desire. By choosing the best whitening toothpaste containing blue covarine, you can improve your appearance immediately.…

Choosing the Right Toothpaste

Choosing the Right Toothpaste

As consumers, we’re influenced by all the dollars spent on advertising. As for toothpaste, all the advertising is focused on pushing gum care toothpaste to prevent gum disease, whitening pastes to give you whiter teeth and of course, tartar control toothpaste. As consumers, do we really know the difference? Well, let’s find out!

Tartar control toothpaste is used to help prevent the accumulation of tartar. Unfortunately, studies do not show that these pastes actually remove tartar.

The build up of tartar below the gum line is one of the main reasons why gum disease is developed. These tartar pastes do not reduce tartar below the gums, which is a problem. The best way to solve this problem is by visiting your dentist 2x per year to remove the build up. Many companies are working on a solution for this.

We all wonder which are more effective as toothpastes; gels or pastes. Oddly enough, gels are more abrasive due to a substance included in them called silica. Silica is similar to sand like substance. Both gels and pastes are effective cleaners, so this is just based on preference.

Stannous fluorides are used in gum care pastes, while most pastes use sodium fluoride. Sodium does a much better job at protecting against cavities, so there’s a bit of a concern regarding gum care pastes.

We’ve all probably tried toothpaste with baking soda and thought it was much more effective. However, there’s no proven results showing it’s better than other pastes. Many people tend to brush longer, since it has a flavor, which helps. Baking soda pastes often include peroxides which can be harmful. Canada has banned these products that include peroxide in them.

Another abrasive paste is whitening pastes. Since they’re so abrasive, it’s not recommended to use this as your sole toothpaste. It can be worked into your routine and used every other day or so. If it includes sodium pyrophosphate, then it’s extremely abrasive.

I hope this has helped you understand the products we’re using to clean our teeth on a daily basis. Since we only get one set of teeth, it’s imperative we take great care of them!…
