[The Dental Diet 開箱文]
過了一個月終於收到生日禮物了---The Dental Diet.
這本書是一位牙醫師Dr.Steven Lin所撰寫的。快速翻遍了整本書，大致可以將內容整理如下。
Dr. Steven Lin, the author of “The Dental Diet”, shows us how we can get in front of gut dysfunction by understanding the oral microbiome and the fascinating connection between microbes and the foods we eat.
👉There are four principles of good dental nutrition.
⭐️1. Keep the jaw, face, and airways healthy and strong.
▪️Healthy chewing:
The Dental Diet prioritizes hard, fibrous foods that require chewing, thereby developing the jaw throughout your adult life. These foods include:
a. Whole raw vegetables
b. Whole nuts and seeds
c. Meat on the bone
d. Chewy dried or cured meats
▪️Healthy breathing:
Breathe through your nose, not your mouth.
⭐️2. Give the mouth the nutrients it needs.
In addition to helping the body use and distribute calcium, each fat-soluble vitamin plays several important roles in the body and is found in specific foods in nature.
▪️Vitamin D—Helps the body absorb calcium, the building block of the skeletal system, and activates thousands of genes that influence the body right down to cell growth and differentiation.
▪️Vitamin A—Supports bone development through cell turnover and with vitamin D activates growth and development genes throughout the body.
▪️Vitamin K2—Is the bone development support factor for vitamins D and A that activates the proteins to direct calcium to the right places.
⭐️3. Keep the microbiome balanced and diverse.
Your overall health depends on the health of the microbiome in your mouth and gut. It needs a balance of “good” slow-metabolizing bacteria and “bad” fast-metabolizing bacteria.
When you sit down to eat a meal, be aware that you’re now feeding the trillions of microbes inside of you. These thriving organisms depend on the food you put in your mouth for their survival, so the fate of that balance is in your hands.
To keep everyone happy, you need to consume a balance of foods that contains “probiotics” and “prebiotics”.
⭐️4. Eat foods with healthy epigenetic messages.
The microbes inside us receive epigenetic messages from the food we eat and pass them on to our own genes.
A recent study has demonstrated that short-chain fatty acids have the ability to directly alter DNA by way of epigenetic messaging. You’ll remember that these fatty acids are produced by bacteria in the stomach when we eat fermentable fibers, establishing a direct relationship between food, microbes, and your genes.
