CNM's London Health Talk: The Oral Microbiome - Your Gateway to Health
Share
Attended CNM's London Health Talk: The Oral Microbiome - Your Gateway to Health yesterday. It was extremely informative and Dr James Goolnik's extensive knowledge was incredibly insightful!
It was a great reminder that the body is a connected being that needs balance to be healthy. In regards to maintaining a healthy mouth, it isn't just about brushing your teeth and regular visits to your dentist, it is ensuring all aspects of your body receive equal attention. The key to good oral health is linked to your overall health.
The mouth is the gateway to the body, so our nutrition is very important, which oral care products we use, whether or not we smoke, what we drink and nose breathing to mention but a few. Sleep, exercise and stress can affect oral health too.
Better oral health is connected to better overall health and focusing on root causes can help to find ways to prevent issues from worsening or developing, and helps to maintain a healthy body, mind and mouth.
Thank you to CNM - College of Naturopathic Medicine and James Goolnik for a great evening and insight!
