La salud comienza en tu boca : información , consejos y 10 sugerencias para una salud (bucal) óptima

Summary: Open your mouth, let's see how healthy you are. Yes, you are reading it correctly. The mouth is the gateway to our body and, in addition, it is a mirror of our health. The mouth, like the skin or the intestines, tells us how we are. Yvonne Kort, oral hygienist and orthomolecular therapist, explains in this book the importance of oral health in the body as a whole, not as a segregated element, but as the entrance to the digestive system, or as an active part in the respiratory system. Have you noticed that your gums are more sensitive when you have a cold? The mouth sends us multiple signals, so when we are weak the mucous membranes become red and the tonsils swell. In the event of a decrease in defenses, a whitish sediment may appear on the tongue and, often, chronic inflammations of the gums speak of cardiovascular problems, type II diabetes, autoimmune diseases or depression. Remember, your microbiota, food hypersensitivity, stress, hormonal or sleep imbalances and many other factors that condition your health are related to good oral health. This practical guide, written by an expert, will clarify all your doubts and provide you with useful tips for you to achieve optimal (oral) health.
