20.01.2022 Sunlight absorbed through the skin is boosting your immune system a number of critical ways. All light on earth, plants, bacteria, and mammals primarily depend... on the sun for its life force. In humans, as our skin absorbs middle of the day sun, it produces vitamin D. As stored light in the body, vitamin D allows the organism to create a skeletal system, a fundamental of their physiology. Vitamin D also plays an important role in helping immune systems function. Low levels can lead to autoimmunity when the immune system attacks healthy cells and increase the chance of infection. Today, many people experience excess inflammation. I see it everyday in bleeding gums. Your body should not spontaneously bleed, If your immune system is TOO reactive, it's not as effective as it can be. The immune system is like an army that prevents invaders, such as viruses and bacteria, from taking over the homeland your body. It is composed of the innate and adaptive immune systems. This can happen in the lungs, the gut, or any organ in the body. The first line of defense is the innate immune system: These are the soldiers shooting indiscriminately at the enemies camp. Vitamin D boosts this first response, but it also boosts the bodies second more specialized defences. Next the SWAT teams are brought in with specific abilities to target and eliminate bacteria or viruses. They have powerful weapons and the body is designed to turn them off and quickly turn them off. The issue is that when there is chronic inflammation, the weapons don’t turn off and create friendly fire. Vitamin D actually calms this adaptive immune system. It keeps these specialized attack weapons ready to perform, but never acting out inappropriately. As you absorb sunlight, you are boosting both of these defences. There is some evidence that gum disease (chronic inflammation) is related to vitamin D deficiency, which are heavily dependent on sunlight. You can also eat vitamin D through cod-liver oil, fatty fish, organ meats, grass raised dairy or egg yolks. How does sunlight affect your mood?

17.01.2022 In the womb, a child is imprinted with signals from its mother’s body. Today we are learning how important ante, prenatal, and postnatal nutrition is to help... nourish our next generation. For critical nutrients, like vitamin D, we need to remember, that it is a hormone, and acts deeply on the body, affecting how the DNA will express many years later. Strong teeth and bones, require many years of nourishment from sunlight derived vitamin D. Babies born with vitamin D deficiency may have affected bone growth or in severe cases rickets (flexible bones). Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked with the development of childhood allergy A recent study indicates that children born to mothers with inadequate vitamin D levels had a greater chance of developing early childhood tooth decay. During the study, the vitamin D levels of 206 pregnant women were analyzed during their second trimester. Only 10.5 percent of the women had adequate levels of vitamin D. Of the children born to women with lower levels of vitamin D, 21.6 percent of them had enamel defects, which leave teeth more susceptible to dental cavities. Tooth decay was found in 33.6 percent of the children born to women with the lowest levels of vitamin D. Although most pregnancy multivitamins contain 10 micrograms (400 international units), for women at high risk of vitamin D deficiency this may not be enough and they might benefit from a higher dose supplement. A Cochrane review update (Palacios et al., 2019) summarises the evidence base for Vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy; it includes 30 research studies and over 3700 pregnant women were included. Before this review, we knew that babies from mothers who lacked vitamin D have poorer outcomes, but it had not been convincingly demonstrated that supplementation improved outcomes for those at risk. It showed that taking vitamin D supplements in pregnancy: Probably reduces the risk of getting pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes May reduce the risk of having a low-birthweight baby. May reduce the risk of severe bleeding after birth. Do you suspect you suffered from vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy? See more

14.01.2022 One of the keys to staying young is maintaining your jaw bones. They are the support structures for your face. When you look at a face, your brain is judging ma...ny complex components of a person’s physiology. Deep messages tune us to understand that these structures guide us to breathe, chew food, and communicate. Did you know movement is a nutrient? The many problems that we see in our jaws (crooked teeth,and forward head posture) stems from not using our jaws enough or correctly. In the new study, the researchers found new information about the cellular and molecular changes that enable bone to adapt to changes in mechanical stress. The researchers created a novel mouse model of increased mastication in which mice were fed harder foods to increase chewing force and predicted if increased chewing directly led to changes in jawbone structure using a computer simulation. Bone tissue is continuously restructured in response to changes in applied force, such as those associated with exercise and locomotion. Examining how the structure of the jawbone varies with masticatory force may illuminate the mechanisms that lead to the reconstruction of bone tissue. In other words, foods that require more chewing force may lead to increased bone formation and impact the shape of the jawbone. The Japanese researchers state: Our data indicate that masticatory force can prompt changes in facial structure by modulating the function of cells that regulate bone reconstruction. This discovery -- that increased chewing itself can directly change the shape of the jawbone -- could facilitate the development of treatments for skeletal abnormalities, such as jaw deformities. So physical inputs including foods that require heavy chewing allow the jaw to maintain its youthful structure. However tongue posture which includings suctioning of the back of the tongue to the soft palate maintains the width of the roof of the mouth. Nasal breathing is the other physical input that mechanically stimulates the upper jaw. When you breathe through the nose the maxilla pulsates in and out, which helps to physically maintain bone. Chew, breathe, and swallow correctly for younger faces. Do you notice any issues with your jaws?

13.01.2022 When you see it once, you cannot help but see it everywhere. Today our kid’s jaws are not developing. Human jaw growth is the result of a symphony of factors th...at contribute to how a child’s craniofacial, airway, sensorimotor, feeding, and communicative systems are meshing together to form the child’s face. When kids faces aren’t developing correctly, it’s important to know what’s what. I tell patients to be aware of the signs kids jaws aren’t growing as swiftly as they need be, we can intervene in this, but a warning, it’s difficult. Remember this is a generational problem, and we won’t fix it overnight, but we do need to become aware of it, and very quickly. I believe this is the most significant health issue on the planet. Above is the childhood dental eruption chart. It tells us when kids teeth should break the gum and when they should fall out. It also accompanies a list of signs that the jaw relationship is not developing as quickly to fit all the adult teeth. High narrow palate: Where the roof of the mouth is a V-shape, and may be quite high, instead of being a flat U-Shape. It is often associated with a lack of connection between the tongue and the palate. The tongue should shape the upper arch. Open bite: When the bite doesn’t come together. This can be due to thumb sucking or pacifier use. It can indicate the jaw is distorted and may be worsened by a ‘tongue thrust swallow’ Under bite or Cross bite Where the lower teeth connect in front of the upper teeth. It can happen at the front, side, or back of the mouth. If this happens it locks the upper jaw back and can contribute to an asymmetrical growth of the jaw. Overbite where the lower jaw sits a long way ‘back’ from the upper arch. Can be associated with improper tongue posture, swallow, and forward head posture. Primate spacing gaps between kids teeth which should be there, if there are no gaps, it’s likely adult teeth will have space issues. Mouth breathing a good sign your child has issues developing their jaws. You should always watch if a child mouth breathes or snores at night. Do you notice any of these signs in your kids? Would you add any points?

07.01.2022 Your teeth are formed by a remarkable crystalline structure. Dental enamel has a hardness intermediate between that of iron and that of carbon steel and display...s a very high elasticity for a material of such hardness. This elasticity results from its being composed of a large number of crystallites which are in close contact but are not continuous. Mature enamel is 95% mineral, 1% organic matter, and 4% water by weight. Hydroxyapatite is a major inorganic component in hard tissue and can be found in about 60% of bones, 97% of tooth enamel, and 70% of tooth dentin It is unusual for its high mineral content and for the size of its crystallites, the volume in tooth enamel is over 1000 times the volume of those in bone! Developmental defects of enamel are regions of enamel with altered quality and quantity as a consequence of insults to the enamel organ at the time of enamel formation. Enamel crystallites precipitate from a supersaturated solution within a well-delineated biological compartment. Mature enamel crystallites are comprised of hexagonal calcium hydroxyapatite. During the mineralization of tooth enamel the body uses a supersaturated liquid matrix to form enamel. Proteins (such as osteocalcin) in the enamel matrix may buffer calcium and hydrogen ion concentrations as a strategy to preclude the precipitation calcium. Mineralization involves the crystallization of ions from supersaturated solutions. Enamel crystals to appear as regular hexagons in cross section. Crystalline graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms that are arranged in 6-membered, hexagonal rings. In this bonding mode the bond angle between adjacent carbon atoms is 120. For this reason graphene-based materials have the osteogenic inducing ability of stem cells and biocompatibility and use as a enamel regeneration tool. Human tooth enamel is an incredible miracle of nature, it is nutrient and resource heavy, relying on the bone generating fat-soluble vitamins. It’s no wonder teeth issues are so difficult. Their formation is akin to the geological formation of crystals. Have you or a family member had tooth enamel issues?

04.01.2022 I’ve noticed a trend in my patients. Those that are happy, content, and grateful for their life in general, have better health outcomes. In patients that have s...evere disease, more often than not, there are life circumstances that appear to have played a role. So, does your emotionally state affect your teeth? Emotions have been found to affect the skeletal system. A Finnish study found that bone density was 52% higher in postmenopausal women who reported feeling satisfied with their lives when compared with those who said they were unsatisfied. Participants were asked to measure their overall well-being in four areas: interest in life, happiness in life, ease of living and feelings of loneliness. Researchers followed 1,147 Finnish women ages 60 to 70 for a period of 10 years. On average, bone density in all women weakened by 4% over the 10-year period. But they found that changes in life satisfaction had an effect on bone health. Participants whose well-being had deteriorated over the decade were found to have 85% weaker mineral bone density than those individuals whose spirits had improved. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Musculoskeletal and Neuronal Interactions, found that men with recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD) had lower bone mineral density than those who were not depressed. The study analyzed 928 men between the ages of 24 and 98 using data from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study, a population-based research project in Australia. Those men with recurrent MDD had 6.5% lower bone mineral density in the forearm and 2.5% lower density throughout the entire body when compared with men who were not depressed. In 2017, a study, Clinical Psychology of Oral Health looked at emotional state and dental health. The results of this study showed a significant relationship between the perception of the patient’s oral health and the mood states experienced. Oral health dimensions were strictly linked not only to the well-known constructs of anxiety and Depression but also with Aggression, Anger, and confusion. While these studies don’t show how emotions increase your risk of dental disease, they do show an association between mental state and dental health. Do you think emotions affect dental health?

02.01.2022 Your eyes and skin are your solar panels. If you charge them correctly, they will power your entire body. When we talk about benefits of sunlight, we think vita...min D, but the nuances and role that the sun plays in the human body goes far further. Your solar panels are you your skin and eyes. When you expose skin to middle day sun, we convert vitamin D. It’s also the sunlight that can burn if you expose too much. SUNRISE is a different type of light. All sunlight is 42% infrared light. Infrared light stimulates collagen, increases bone healing and heals wounds. So, sunrise is great for your gums and teeth. Sunrise contains little to no UV, so expose as much skin to the morning sun as you can. This type of infrared light is also anti-ageing; it reduces wrinkles and scars. That’s not what you usually hear about sunlight is it! Infrared light, along with cellular water, is crucial when it comes to charging your body and creating energy. The benefits of morning sun play a critical role as to how we utilize sunrays found in light over the day. Infrared light around sunrise preconditions our skin to protect us from the UVA and UVB that comes out a bit later. Catch enough infrared light early in the morning and you’re less likely to burn later in the day. Then around 10am, UVA raises its head a little bit later in the morning. It is critical in making Nitric Oxide (the substance we release from the nasal sinuse and exercise). Nitric oxide drastically increases mitochondrial energy, your memory, and it’s anti-aging. UVA light also triggers the production of serotonin and dopamine and releases endorphins along with a small opiate effect. The end result? You feel good. So if there’s one health recommendation I can make. Get up with the sunrise, watch it and expose your eyes, skin, and brain to the benefits of sunlight. Did you know the benefits of morning sun? Anyone catch the sunrise today?
