Nutritional intake from diet plays a huge role on dental diseases and general oral health, as explained in manystudies.

Damaged teeth enamel is also caused by chemicals found in plastics and fungicides, such as: bysphenol A (BPA) and Vinclozolin.

BPA and Vinclozolin are endoctrine disruptors that stimulate the growth of dental enamel, according to a new study presented at the European Congress of Endocrinology. Poor hygiene and acidic foods also can promote staining of the teeth.

How to get rid of white spots on your teeth naturally

Hygiene

First you have to understand that for teeth to be healthy, the entire mouth needs to be cared for on a daily basis. In a recent research, published on the journal of American Dental association it was observed that The ability of the biofilm to sequester calcium, phosphate and fluoride from the saliva, as well as from sources outside the oral cavity allows enamel to undergo remineralisation after demineralization.

Diet

Diet plays a huge hole on overall health, and the reason why dental degradation is increasing, is because of the high consumption of acidic foods and drinks, coupled with poor diet.

Acidic foods to avoid

To Get rid of white spots on your teeth naturally, your daily diet needs to be rich in phosphorus, calcium and vitamin D.

1) Phosphorus: Approximately 85% of the body's phosphorus is found in bones and teeth. Phosphorus is an essential mineral, required by every cell in the body for normal function. Bound to oxygen in all biological systems, phosphorus is found as phosphate (PO43-) in the body.

2) Calcium and vitamin D supplementation slow the rate of bone loss from various skeletal sites, which have a beneficial effect on teeth retention and health.

The Linus Pauling Institute recommends the following daily intake of Phosphorus:

Adults (19 years and older): 700 mg; children (9 to 18 years): 1,250 mg; children (4 to 8 years): 500 mg; children (1 to 3 years): 460 mg; infants (7 to 12 months): 275 mg; infants (0 to 6 months): 100 mg

Foods to consume more frequently and in moderation that that are high in phosphorus:

Bread whole grain, 1 slice (25g) Bread, white, 1 slice (25g) Oat bran, 1 cup, 100g Lentils, 1 cup, 200g Peach, 100g Banana, 120g

The National Intitute of Health says that calciums daily intake should be as follows:

(Birth to 6 months) 200 mg; (Infants) 712 months 260 mg; ( 13 years) 700 mg; ( 48 years) 1,000 mg; ( 913 years)1,300 mg; (1418 years) 1,300 mg; (1950 years) 1,000 mg; ( 5170 years) 1,000 mg; ( 5170 years) 1,200 mg; ( 71 years and older) 1,200 mg; Pregnant and breastfeeding teens 1,300 mg; Pregnant and breastfeeding adults 1,000mg

Stand back, Hugh Jackman is off his diet.

For the past 17 years, the actor has kept to a strict regimento stay in shape for his role as Wolverine in the X-Men series. But now that the final installment, Logan, hits theaters next week, Jackman is ready to binge. Luckily, he had Jimmy Fallon to help him do it duringhis appearance on TheTonight Show on Friday.

The good news of not doing this is you dont have to keep that Wolverine diet because every time you were here you were eating some boiled chicken and broccoli. Thats all you ate, says Fallon. But now you can go ham.

Its just so good, you have no idea, addsJackman. I mean look, its not like I never had a cheat meal cause I did, but for 17 years Ive kind of known, look next year you got to get into shape. That kind of put a little bit of a damper on things. So, yeah, the wheels are off, get ready.

After winning a hysterical game of the Whisper Challenge, Fallon surprised Jackman with a giant bowl of spaghetti and red wine, hand-delivered by Mario Batali.

March 1st marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period preceding

Easter, when many Christians abstain from animal foods in remembrance of Jesus 40 days of fasting in the wilderness before launching his ministry.

The call to refrain from eating animals is as old as the Bible. In Genesis 1:29, God commands humans to eat only plants; then Prophet Isaiah predicts that none will hurt or destroy on Gods holy mountain.

A number of Christian leaders have followed the call, including

Methodist founder John Wesley, Salvation Army founders William and

Catherine Booth, Seventh-day Adventist Church founder Ellen G. White, and prominent evangelical leader Franklin Graham.

A meat-free diet is not just about Christian devotion. Dozens of medical studies have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases. A United Nations report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution. Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being caged, crowded, mutilated, beaten, and shocked.

Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Christs powerful message of compassion, but also to protect the health of our family and our planet Earth by adopting a meat-free diet.

Sincerely,

Dusty Blalock

What fits easily into a lunch box, tastes great, quenches your thirst, satisfies a sweet tooth and is low in calories? You guessed it fruit. Mother Nature has cleverly combined carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals and, best of all, sweetness, into one colorful package. Fruit consumption is on the rise and now, more than ever, is recognized as a fit food.

Research studies verify that a daily intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, and may have a protective effect against certain types of cancers. As a result, the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans, from 2015, recommend that we focus on fruit, particularly whole fruit. These guidelines encourage us to eat a variety of fruit whether fresh, frozen, canned or dried. And, the MyPlate graphic shows us that half of our plate should be fruits and/or vegetables.

Some may describe fruit as filled with super powers because they provide nutrients that are vital for optimal health and maintenance of our bodies. Vitamin C is needed daily for growth and repair of all body tissues, to heal cuts and wounds and to keep our immune system strong. This vitamin helps our bodies fight viruses, including colds and flu particularly important during Maines winters. Vitamin C keeps our teeth and gums healthy while also boosting iron and calcium absorption. Fruits that are high in vitamin C include citrus fruits (oranges, clementines, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons, limes), strawberries, pineapple and kiwi. Vitamin A, or beta-carotene, is another nutrient found in fruit and helps our vision. It acts as an anti-oxidant and may reduce the risk for cataracts. Fruits such as apricots, cantaloupe, red or pink grapefruit, papaya and mango are high in vitamin A. Potassium is an essential mineral, and it is found in bananas, prunes, dried apricots, cantaloupe and honeydew melon. It plays a critical role in maintaining the bodys fluid balance, in muscle relaxation and in controlling blood pressure.

Fruits are also high in a soluble fiber, called pectin. Pectin helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, assists in blood sugar control and makes you feel full longer. Fruits highest in this type fiber include apples, blackberries, raspberries and pears.

On the sweeter side, fruits are naturally high in two simple sugars; glucose and fructose. These natural sugars can help satisfy that end of a meal craving for a sweet dessert, without a calorie overload. Fruits are low in fat, low in sodium and relatively low in calories, so they can help maintain a healthy weight.

When shopping for fruits, think about the colors of the rainbow. Choose lots of different colors (red, orange, green and purple) to assure that you are getting a variety of nutrients that your body needs. Buying an assortment of fresh, frozen, canned and dried fruits will assure that fruit is always available for you and your family. Use the nutrition facts on food labels to check the calories, nutrient content and sugar as you shop. Buy fresh fruits in-season when they are at peak flavor and low in cost.

The amount of fruit you need depends upon your age, sex and level of physical activity. Two cups of fruit per day are recommended for an average healthy adult consuming a 2,000 calorie diet. A serving of fruit is equal to 1 cup or 1/2 cup of dried fruit or an average size piece of fruit equivalent to a baseball. For more information, go to choosemyplate.gov.

Here are some tips to make your diet a more fruitful one:

At breakfast, top your cereal with sliced bananas, blueberries, peaches or strawberries. Heat blueberries or strawberries and serve them over pancakes. Add fruit, such as applesauce, to muffins and cut the amount of sugar in half. Make a fruit parfait by layering low-fat plain yogurt with your favorite fruits. Create a smoothie by blending low-fat yogurt with frozen fruit.

At lunch, pack an orange, banana or grapes to energize you through the afternoon. Add fruit to cottage cheese for a refreshing salad.

At dinner, use fruit to tenderize meats and flavor entrees like chicken with apricots. Add fruit to salads like mandarin oranges on spinach salad and crushed pineapple with coleslaw. Try colorful fruit kabobs to add eye appeal to your barbecue. For dessert, try baked apples, poached pears or a fresh fruit salad.

Keep a bowl of whole fruit on the table, counter or in the refrigerator for healthy eating on the run. Dried fruit makes great, grab n go snacks, or spread apple slices with peanut butter.

March is National Nutrition Month, and this years theme is Put Your Best Fork Forward. Lets all put our forks into fruits. Fruits should be enjoyed as part of our daily diets they are sweet and swell for you.

Now that Google has officially launched Android Wear 2.0 and released its own smartwatches made by LG, its time for the rest of the Android Wear partners to launch new models. And the first one out of the gate is Huawei, which is refreshing its Huawei Watch from 2015 with two new, sportier models.

The Huawei Watch 2 and the Huawei Watch 2 Classic are loaded with connectivity and new features, including LTE (in the case of the Watch 2), GPS, heart rate sensors, and NFC for Android Pay. They have much chunkier designs compared to the first Huawei Watch, and are significantly thicker and bulkier, despite having a smaller 1.2-inch circular display than the prior models 1.4-inch screen. They measure about 12.6mm thick, which is nearly two millimeters thicker than the prior version.

Both versions have two buttons and include microphones and speakers. Huawei says the 420mAh batteries inside them provide up two days of life, or double the first generations stamina. A new, low-power watch mode will allow the watches to last up to 25 days, though it reduces functionality to just telling the time and counting steps.

The Watch 2 is made of plastic to support its LTE connectivity (a Wi-Fi-only model will also be offered), while the Watch 2 Classic has a metal chassis. Both versions have interchangeable straps, and the Classic model has a unique hybrid strap that has a leather top and rubber underneath to protect against sweat damage. Both watches support IP68 water resistance.

The new heart rate sensor will continuously track heart rates, and both watches come loaded with Huaweis Fit program that personalizes a training program based on goals and prior performance. A version of the same program debuted on the Huawei Fit fitness tracker last year.

Its clear that Huawei is targeting a different consumer this time around, focusing on someone that prioritizes fitness features above aesthetics or general smartwatch uses. But that may leave fans of the first model that were looking for an updated watch that could be worn every day or even with a suit disappointed. The LG Watch Sport, made in partnership with Google, had a similar fitness focus, while the Watch Style offered fewer features than even Huaweis first smartwatch attempt.

Both watches are also distinctly masculine, in both size and appearance, and those with smaller wrists will likely find them uncomfortable. Huawei says that its female-focused Watch Elegant and Watch Jewel will remain available for the time being.

A Porsche-designed version of the Watch 2 is also coming, featuring a Porsche Design logo and special watch face.

Huawei says the Watch 2 will first be available in Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and China starting this March. In April, it will come to US, UK, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, The Nordics, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, India, South Africa, Poland, Austria, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and UAE, and Malaysia will see it starting in May. Pricing will begin at 329 (~$347) depending on features and model.

Everyone knows that exercise is good for you, both for fitness and health. Exercise can improve your strength, endurance and flexibility. These results can be realized relatively quickly, depending the type and intensity of exercise you do. As a general rule, if you start an exercise program today, you should expect to experience some improvements within a few weeks.

That may mean running or walking at a faster speed, lifting heavier weights or coming closer to touching your toes. Aside from these improvements, participating in exercise should help you feel better doing everyday activities with fewer aches and pains.

Being active can also help you lead a longer, healthier life with a lower risk of developing chronic conditions including high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. Regular physical activity can also reduce your risk of having a heart attack, stroke or developing many types of cancer. And even if these conditions do occur, they are likely to happen later in life and be less severe. While it is relatively easy to see results in strength, flexibility and endurance, it is difficult to see the improvements in health that come from regular exercise.

Take blood cholesterol, for example. A cholesterol test really includes several different measures of blood lipids including LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL is called bad cholesterol because it tends to contribute to atherosclerosis, the process in your arteries that leads to many heart attacks and strokes. HDL has an opposite effect, reversing cholesterol deposits in arteries, so it is called good cholesterol. Changes in diet and certain medications, including statins (Lipitor is an example), have been widely used to lower LDL cholesterol and, to a lesser extent, raise HDL.

Exercise is also recommended to improve blood lipids, too. However, the effect of exercise is far less impressive than even a single medication. For example, some statin drugs can lower LDL by as much as 50 percent, which can have a huge impact on heart attack risk. By contrast, daily exercise might only lower LDL by 10 percent.

There arent as many ways to raise HDL, but regular exercise can increase HDL by about 10 percent. This is dose-related, so higher doses of both drugs and exercise can have a bigger effect. But the amount of exercise most people are likely to do will have a modest effect on blood lipids.

Some people, including many physicians, see this less potent effect as evidence that exercise simply doesnt work as well as drugs for improving blood lipids. Thats true, if you just look at the numbers. But the health benefits of exercise on these blood lipids goes beyond the total LDL and HDL.

It turns out that HDL and LDL exist in different forms. Some subtypes of LDL are more atherogenic, meaning they increase heart attack risk to a greater extent than others. Similarly, HDL comes in different subtypes, too, some of which can reduce the risk of heart attack more.

It is becoming clear that exercise can shift the prominent subtypes of HDL and LDL to the more beneficial types. This means that even though exercise may not result in significant changes in the total LDL or HDL on your blood lipid test, it can make LDL less bad and HDL better, reducing your risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Similarly, exercise also seems to have beneficial effects on blood vessels and blood glucose beyond the numbers your doctor monitors for hypertension or diabetes. So, even if your test results dont change much, know that the benefits of exercise go beyond the numbers!

Lawyers Katie Carlson and Tyler Gernant (letter, Feb. 15) claim that Neil Gorsuch is not appropriate for the Supreme Court, yet they use no examples to bolster their argument.

We are not convinced and that record shows that Gorsuch is the wrong choice for the Supreme Court." What in his record shows this? He earned his JD from Harvard Law (where he received the prestigious Truman scholarship) and a PhD from Oxford, where he received another prestigious scholarship, the Marshall.

While there, he met his future wife, a Brit. She moved with him to the U.S., so that makes her an immigrant.

He also is a professor at Colorado where one of his students, a self-described liberal said, I think hes dedicated to the truth, to justice, to the justice system. I may not always agree with him but I do think he gives all voices a fair hearing, and thats all you can ask of a judge." He has clerked for two Supreme Court justices, Byron White and Anthony Kennedy.

He has been praised by an Obama administration solicitor general, Neal Katyal, who called him an extraordinary judge and man. He also has been praised by Obamas ethics czar (the three were classmates) Norm Eisen.

He was confirmed to his current appeals court seat without a single negative vote against him by the U.S. Senate. He has written opinions that vigorously defend the duty of the court to interpret what the law is, without bowing to the executive branchs interpretations. None of his rulings have been overturned. He has already hit back against President Trump when he slammed the courts for the recent overturning of his orders.

So, I ask Carlson and Gernant, please restore my faith in the schools that granted your JDs and cite reasons and examples of his unfitness.

Launching in the UK, the treatment exposes the body to -160 degrees in a liquid nitrogen tank.

The treatment has the potential to increase the metabolic rate to burn a whopping 500 to 800 calories within just 24 hours, compared to the 180 250 calories an average person burns during an hour gym session.

The vapours from the treatment, which starts at a price of 90 and takes 30 minutes per session, are applied to the body part you want to shrink, while a cyro-therapist massages and sculpts the area to encourage the lymphatic drainage.

When the sub-zero temperature covers the skin, the sudden drop in heat stimulates the bodys core temperature receptors.

Want weight loss? This machine burns calories while you lie down

While the skin continues to feel the freeze the body sends signals back and forth to the brain, which tell it if there is damage to the tissues, or if there is excessive fat cells or cellulite or lack of elasticity, collagen or skin damage.

Its these signals that reduces the density of fat giving the desired loss in body density, according to the providers of the sci-fi treatment.

They also claim the treatment rejuvenates and tightens the skin due to the increased production of collagen.

Although we fully support attending the gym as part of a healthy lifestyle, we know sometimes there isnt the cash flow to do so, said Debra Lister, one of the founders of Cryotherapy UK.

Effortless weight loss can also be provided by this specific shade of pink, according to Kendall Jenner

It turns out Kendall chose to paint her living room this specific pink for a scientific reason - to calm her and suppress her appetite.

The 21-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and model was influenced by her friends after they visited an art exhibition.

She wrote on her blog: I decided to paint it [my living room wall] pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the Human Condition exhibition at a former hospital in LA.

They were telling me theres a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the colour choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only colour scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite.

Kim Kardashian West seems determined to get her body back in pre-baby shape. Last week she shared on Snapchat the belly button laser she got to fix her post-baby belly button. Now, shes working out in a sauna suit to drop a few extra pounds.

Kim has lost a significant amount of weight since giving birth to Saint West in October, but shes looking to lose 7 more pounds to bring her down to her goal of 115 lbs. Im wearing a full sweat suit cause I gotta lose this extra, like, 7 pounds, she said on her Snapchat video while her trainer teases her.

She isnt the only Kardashian sister to wear this plastic suit while working out. Khloe is also known to sport this full-length tracksuit to accelerate weight loss.

However, we want to know if this practice really works and, more importantly, is it safe?

Philadelphia, PA bariatric doctor,Charlie Seltzer, MD,explains that this practice is probably ineffective and definitely dangerous. "You're dehydrating yourself and losing electrolytes which is a set up for potential health issues," says Dr. Seltzer. "By sweating out water you can definitely lose weight on the scale but it doesnt make you look any different." He stresses that the minimal and short term results you would see from using a sauna suit are not worth putting yourself at the greater risk.

"I suppose if you're carrying water weight from swelling, then sweating it out can change it a little," continues Dr. Seltzer. "But you can also do that with just a hard workout without the sweat suit."
