Superpower Foods For Healthy Teeth and Gums

At Palm Tree Organics, we love tips and tricks on ways to live a holistic and healthy lifestyle. 

Of course, we all understand that oral care is important - and holistic oral care goes way beyond brushing and flossing. There are many Alternative Health therapies such as oil pulling to keep our teeth and gums nicely maintained. However, if you rather something simple, here are some everyday power foods you can consume for a brilliant smile.

The first thing you should be drinking for a great set of teeth is Green Tea. This super drink contains complex compounds called catechins and catechins can fight inflammation and help control bacterial infections. 

We also believe in the benefits of Strawberries and Kiwis for oral Health. Of course, Vitamin C is very important for the overall health of our delicate gum tissue. This is because the vitamin C helps to prevent collagen from breaking down. If we don't have any collagen, gums become extra tender, and thus susceptible to periodontal disease. Kiwis and strawberries have the highest concentration of vitamin C and they do a great job because of their astringency. They can help to reverse discoloration caused by commonly consumed beverages like coffee and wine - acting as a natural teeth whitener. 

Nuts and seeds are a great source of plant-based protein. They also pack in powerful teeth-healthy micronutrients. These include phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, zinc and calcium. Calcium is of course essential for strong bones and teeth, and dietary calcium may actually contribute to tooth remineralization. The nuts highest in calcium are almonds and brazil nuts.
