A simple exercise for gums and teeth


strong gums and teeth
I came across this simple and easy exercise, when I was reading the book Health in your Hands by Devendra Vora. You have to keep your lips closed and pound your upper teeth on lower teeth 30-40 times. Then you have to massage your gums and teeth with your saliva coated tongue. Apparently this activity promotes blood circulation and a regular practice of this exercise twice a day keeps your teeth & gums strong and healthy. Now just like this easy-peasy Pranayam, it hardly takes a minute or two to do this exercise. Moreover you can do it any time at your convenience. And while you are at it, nobody gets the slightest hint that you are on a teeth-exercising spree --  now that's the best thing about this exercise.  Except of course if you have to open your mouth to talk with someone, but then you can always resume the exercise later with your mouth shut. So why don't you all give it a try and see if it works for you!

    chewing a chewing gum is a way of exercising teeth
    Chewing gum produces more saliva which protects against plaque and cavities by breaking down sugar, fat and other foods on your teeth

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
