Today’s episode of Oral FITNESS Bootcamp is N-Nutrition.
During this wellness crisis, it is easy to let your diet slip into convenience food as we are all pretty stressed. I have spoken in the past about the importance of vitamins and minerals at this time. Immune-boosting Vitamin C, A, D3, K2, Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc and Iodine all need to be optimal but it gets overwhelming when trying to take multiple supplements.
I want to encourage a diet to achieve these things;
Boost gum health
Optimise bone strength
Improve sleep quality
Reduce head and neck tension headaches
Strengthen teeth
Boost natural immunity
As far as a diet label to optimise all the above I suggest you take a look at Dr Mark Hyman’s Pegan diet. This is a diet with low glycemic load (does not spike your insulin), pesticide, GMO and chemical free with loads of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds but also grass-fed sustainably raised meats, fish and eggs.
Now at the top of the chart, it indicates the small pleasures in life. During this COVID-19 drama, it is important to treat yourself with a small piece of dark chocolate in the evening. Theobromide is a chemical in dark chocolate that not only has been shown to boost the enamel strength of your teeth but also ward off Coronavirus. Don’t forget to get your face in the sun for a short period of time. For all the adults out there maybe enjoy a small gin&tonic as the quinine in the tonic historically warded off malaria and protects you again against different types of viruses.
Keep Smiling,
It’s good for You!
