Rancho Cucamonga Dentists advise that sweets should be healthy and rich in antioxidants. A handful of raw macadamia nuts mixed with some berries is an example. Some random favorites include dried mulberries, goji berries, berries, as well as golden berries.
This allows you to combine the healthy fats and nutrients of several nuts with the bright flavor of less-common, but more nutritious dried berries. We are not fans of raisins, even though they look innocent enough. This is especially true for children. They are likely to have been treated with a fluoride-based insecticide, even if they are organic.
Raisins are also very tacky. They can be chewed and smashed into the molars, which encourages bacterial fermentation.
Healthy Breakfast
Rancho Cucamonga Dentists claim that research shows that brains are more active if they start their day with sweet breakfasts. Our brains process information slower and lose attention quicker, so we are more likely to become lethargic, then eventually, our attention is eliminated faster.
Quality fats should be included in your diet whenever possible. If you have any questions about the critical role that healthy fats play when it comes to stopping and reverseing tooth decay, download our free resource guide.
It is worth noting that Native Americans who lived almost free from tooth decay for their entire lives consumed 10x (yes, tenx) as many healthy fats per day than ‘contemporary Americans’ in the 1930s. The lesson here is to add healthy fats to every meal.
Rancho Cucamonga Dentists state that it is common for us all to eat various types of sugars throughout the day, especially low-nutrient processed foods. This can be problematic for several reasons.
We tend to eat more foods with lower nutrition once we feel satisfied. As the day progresses, the initial ‘happy gut’ feeling wears off, and our bodies realize that they did not receive the nutrition it needed. Our bodies then start to crave more food.
We crave more sugars which can lead to a decrease in our desire for real food and a perpetuation of the sugar-carb cycle. You may also experience an increase in carbohydrate intake, which can cause your body to release more carbohydrates.
