you know growing up i had the worst

teeth i had cavities and every single

tooth i was always at the dentist the

only thing good about the dentist is

they would give you a lollipop and i

really wish i would have known what i

know now back then because it could have

saved me a lot of problems with my teeth

but i want to share with you the best

two

foods that you should be eating for your

teeth now you can skip forward to get

right to those two foods but i want to

first talk about why you should consume

these two foods

the first thing is

vitamin a in relationship to your teeth

and gums okay vitamin a supports a lot

of things but it’s especially important

in the internal skin and mucous

membranes of your body especially the

gums

and vitamin a increases the resistance

to infection of the mucous membranes so

if you’re deficient in vitamin a you’re

much more susceptible to getting an

infection especially of the gums and

there is a condition called pyrea which

is basically gum disease that occurs

when you’re vitamin a deficient

and so there’s various degrees of gum

problems

it starts out with inflammation of the

gums called gingivitis and then it can

progress into something more serious

called

periodontitis which involves more

complications with the gums redness

chronic halitosis bad breath

infection plaquing things like that one

thing you should know about the plaque

on your teeth or tartar

that’s not just bacteria that is also

candida a type of fungus that can grow

so in your mouth you have friendly

bacteria and you have friendly yeast or

fungus that hacks that keep everything

in check it’s only when things get out

of balance

that you start developing an overgrowth

of yeast and fungus and bacteria and

that can develop tartar and plaque and

the byproduct of those guys is acids

that then create

cavities now of course the thing that

starts the whole thing

is the fuel that you’re feeding these

these pathogens and that would be sugar

so people that have

high sugar in the diet or carbohydrates

have a lot more of the unfriendly

bacteria in their mouth that create the

cavities and so this data between

sugar and cavities was suppressed in the

early 70s

there’s some really interesting data i

will share down below so instead they

shifted their attention on saturated

fats and away from sugar but out of all

the foods you should avoid for your

teeth and gums sugar is at the top of

the list so vitamin a is really really

important with your your gums

now if you have

periodontitis okay

and you have enough vitamin c

you probably retain your

teeth okay you’re not going to lose your

teeth and you probably won’t have as

much bleeding but if you actually

combine a vitamin c deficiency

you’ll tend to get loose teeth or you’ll

lose a tooth and you’ll have bleeding so

in scurvy for example which is a severe

vitamin c deficiency one indication of a

vitamin c deficiency would be bleeding

gums because of what vitamin c does to

your connective tissue and it keeps the

capillaries from leaking blood so

vitamin c is very important in keeping

the connective tissue especially of your

gums really nice and tight and strong as

well as building up your resistance to

infection

so as you know vitamin c is important in

your immune system then we have vitamin

b1 now the reason i’m bringing this up

is because if you have a tooth that’s

hurting

you have like some nerve involvement

okay neuritis and vitamin b1 is the best

remedy for any type of itis or

inflammation of the nerve so taking b1

can help a toothache now of course

the underlying cause of that needs to be

corrected but at least can give you

relief as well as

chewing on a clove okay clove will help

numb the tooth okay so you might want to

try that as well

now then we have this thing called

vitamin f now what is vitamin f well

it’s a combination of the omega fatty

acids and vitamin f works with calcium

it helps to unload

calcium as one of its functions

so if you look at vitamin d

and vitamin k2 and vitamin f

they all work in this one specific

function of

helping you absorb calcium

transport calcium and then dumping

calcium in the right places so vitamin d

is vital for absorbing calcium from your

intestine to your blood and then vitamin

k2 is important in transporting calcium

to the right areas of the body to the

bone to the teeth

okay and not in the wrong places and

then vitamin f has a function of helping

unload this calcium and uh pushing it

into the tissues so given that

information what foods would have most

of these vitamins well

butter in cod liver oil okay now when

we’re talking about butter we’re talking

about grass-fed okay and organic

or you can do the ghee

this is loaded with vitamin d

f

vitamin k2 especially and vitamin a okay

and so all these are fat soluble

nutrients or vitamins so butter is

really good for the teeth and gums as a

child

of course with a lot of teeth problems i

craved butter so much i would literally

sit down and consume a stick of butter

without even questioning it i just love

butter and

reflecting back is because i needed

these nutrients okay unfortunately i was

consuming a massive amount of sugar and

refined carbs at the same time

and one point about vitamin c and sugar

is that the chemistry of sugar and

vitamin c is very similar so if you’re

consuming all the sugar you’re not going

to be able to absorb vitamin c at the

same time okay so

that was my problem and the second food

is cod liver oil now why is cod liver

oil so

good for the teeth and gums and why is

it so unique and different from regular

fish oils okay

well cod liver oil

not only has the omega three fatty acids

that other fish oils have

but it also has vitamin d and vitamin a

whereas other fish oils

usually don’t have vitamin d and vitamin

a so it has these two extra things that

are very very good for you it’s very

difficult to get vitamin d from your

foods but cod liver oil has a really

good amount of it so with with collard

oil you get these fat soluble vitamins

and this nutrient

which is you can call it a vitamin or

you can just call it a

essential fatty acid combination now you

could also do cod liver you can buy this

in a can it’s very fatty it’s actually

quite delicious i’ve recommended it i

will put a link down below if you

haven’t tried it you should try it but

it’s a really good food so it’s it’s

actually comes in all the oil as well

but if you consume the whole thing it’s

a bit too rich so if you’re going to

consume it you have like maybe half of

it and then half the second day but eat

it up within two days because if you

leave it too long it does get a little

fishy okay eggs also have a lot of these

fat soluble nutrients and then greens

okay and i’m talking about leafy greens

that’s the vitamin c but you also have

my favorite which is sauerkraut or even

kimchi that’s a great source of vitamin

c

as well as probiotics

and vitamin k2

so sauerkraut is really really good for

your teeth and gums

and then as far as the b vitamins go

nutritional yeast is a good source but

you have to realize that your gut also

makes a lot of your b vitamins so if you

don’t have

the gut flora or you’ve had antibiotics

chances are

that could be the reason why you’re

deficient in bees so just realize that

these microbes can give you these b

vitamins as well now probably the next

best video for you to watch

would be the one on cod of oil i’ve done

quite a few but this one is very

interesting check it out

you
