Right now you can support your body with the beneficial substances contained in vegetables, fruits, berries and nuts and enlist their powerful support before the long cold weather.

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is the champion among autumn vegetables and can even be prepared in spring, as it is stored perfectly. Doctors are vying to praise the healing properties of pumpkins.

Here, it cleanses the intestines thanks to a large amount of fiber and trace elements, increases hemoglobin due to the high iron content, normalizes blood pressure, and strengthens blood vessels due to the potassium content.

Pumpkin is also useful for teeth. It contains zinc, selenium, and fluorine, which help remineralize and restore tooth enamel, in addition, its pulp can fight enamel darkening, whitening teeth.

Carrots

It must be said, however, that the amount of carotene in steamed or fried carrots decreases. Carrots are useful for teeth, first of all, in raw form. They help to mechanically clean the surface of the teeth and interdental spaces from plaque and food debris, which leads to a decrease in the number of pathological microorganisms in the oral cavity and slightly brightens the surface of the enamel.

Citrus

Berries

Forest berries that can still be found in the thickets, such as cloudberries, lingonberries, cranberries, are not in vain so loved by large forest animals, and have long been respected by people. For example, Kalina combines such trace elements as zinc, manganese, phosphorus, iron with a number of vitamins: A, C, E, K, P, etc. It has an anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effect, helps strengthen and grow bones, gives them strength.

Cranberries

Cranberries are attributed miraculous properties due to the acids contained in its berries: citric, malic and salicylic, as well as pectin and carotene. The berries have antioxidant properties, are saturated with a whole complex of vitamins and a large amount of calcium, which helps remineralize teeth, strengthens them and protects against caries.

Cloudberry

In addition to citric and malic acid, pectin and carotene and a whole range of trace elements and vitamins, cloudberry contains phytoncides, which retain their properties even during long-term storage. Phytoncides are active substances that inhibit the growth of pathogenic microflora, in particular, in the oral cavity, thereby inhibiting the development of caries, as well as inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.

Cranberry

Experts from the University of Rochester have discovered that cranberry juice has the ability to protect tooth enamel from the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which causes tooth decay. Cranberries, that is, the trace elements they contain, coat tooth enamel and block bacteria from reaching it.
Scientists especially note the tannin contained in cranberries, which has tanning and anti-inflammatory properties.

Of course, it is worth mentioning here that we are talking about whole berries or fresh juice from them, and not about packaged drinks, in which all the benefits of berries are neutralized by a huge amount of added sugar.

Nuts

If you don’t have a toothbrush at hand and you can’t even rinse your mouth with water, chew nuts or cheese. These amazing products do not change the pH balance in the oral cavity, leaving it alkaline, while any other products acidify it. As a result, the growth of pathogenic microflora, which provokes the development of caries, is inhibited, and the remains of carbohydrate food and plaque are mechanically cleaned.

Some nuts, such as cashews, have antibacterial properties, pine nuts contain the substance vanadium, which promotes bone regeneration, and almonds have analgesic properties.

Fish

Residents of coastal areas, who have access to fresh fish, are 20% less likely to suffer from oral diseases, including gum inflammation (periodontitis, gingivitis), and they have less caries than residents of areas far from the sea. These statistics allowed scientists to conclude that it is fish that saves from dental diseases, if not completely, then to a very significant extent.

Special attention should be paid to red fatty fish varieties.

They regulate the work of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, help fight autumn boredom and generally increase immunity. Here it is also worth mentioning fish oil, rich in Omega-3, which helps to absorb calcium, stimulates the work of the cardiovascular system and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Shrimp

Let's continue with seafood, which contains a large amount of calcium, fluorine, phosphorus and vitamins of group B. Such a set of microelements helps to strengthen bones and teeth, while calcium is contained in shrimp in the most digestible form. And the high content of selenium, iodine, iron and manganese allows us to speak of shrimp as a universal product that increases immunity and strengthens the cardiovascular system.

In addition, a rare guest in food is useful for teeth and bones – vitamin D in outstanding quantities (38% of the daily norm in 100 grams).

A complete diet rich in vitamins and essential microelements will help to increase immunity, strengthen the nervous and cardiovascular systems, cope with seasonal depression and, of course, improve the health of teeth and gums. Pay attention to seasonal products and reduce your consumption of all-season sweets and flour products – these simple recommendations will help you maintain the health of your entire body, and you will only have to visit the dentist for preventive purposes.
