Here’s how your mouth might SABOTAGE your mood
Friend, we’ve all been going through some of the most challenging times that we’ll ever face in our lifetimes…
Overcoming obstacles that we thought only our parents and grandparents would ever face.
From crime… to health concerns… financial troubles… and more…
The world has gotten downright depressing… and anxiety-provoking!
And it’s totally normal to feel “down”… or “blue”… or just plain ol’ STRESSED OUT.
But if your mood DOESN’T get better… even when the news isn’t so BLEAK…
There might be something else going on.
A HIDDEN culprit could be sending your mood into a NOSEDIVE…
And taking a mood med won’t TOUCH it!
In fact, this potential culprit is something a “shrink” would NEVER look for.
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how there’s a secret villain that too often goes UNDETECTED when it comes to brain issues like memory loss… and even full-blown dementia.
And it’s that SAME troublemaker that can bring your mood down to the LOWEST depths!
I’m talking about gum disease.
That’s right – what’s going on in your mouth has A LOT to do with what happens in your brain!
And that’s something that mood meds just can’t TOUCH.
According to a study out of the University of Birmingham, folks with gingivitis and periodontitis (a.k.a. severe gum disease that leads to tooth loss) are MORE likely to develop depression… anxiety…
And even SEVERE mental illness!
At the beginning of the 3-year study, folks with a history of gum disease were associated with a 37% increased risk in mental health issues!
That study also found a link between gum disease and autoimmune disorders…
And previous research has also revealed the connection between gum disease and heart issues… and even cancer.
Now, some folks have gum disease that’s VERY far gone… and their options may be limited to just managing the symptoms.
But other folks have MILDER… more ACUTE cases of gum disease…
And their issues could be REVERSED with the right dental care.
You know you’ve got to brush and floss every day… and see the dentist regularly for cleanings…
But you may want to look into OTHER ways of supporting your gum health…
Like natural mouthwashes (triclosan-free, of course)… oil-pulling… probiotics… myrrh… and more.
