Spotlight on Teeth. Like your eyes are the window

Spotlight on Teeth.
Like your eyes are the window to the soul, the teeth are a map to your body.
Your digestive status is a major driver of your health and your mouth is the first mechanical step in digestion ( your sight, smell and tactile senses technically are the first offical step).
🦷
We know that sugar, smoking, soft drinks and stress are poisonous to the mouth and the oral microbiome.
As a child sugar and stress was my daily addiction. My mother’s lunchbox was healthy as a ray of sunshine however my pocket money habits were red skin laden and toxic. It’s lucky I still have teeth 😂 but I do have health challenges in my adulthood I’ve had to untangle as a result of my childhood choices.
Getting a thorough teeth clean is an ESSENTIAL part of my health maintenance - a personal game changer that motivates better choices.
Dental decay and gum disease are signs that the body is out of balance. Oral infections are linked to certain cardiovascular events, diabetic pathogenesis, pregnancy complications and so much more.
🦷
There are systemic factors, but most systemic factors are fuelled by our dietary choices and mental health.
I’ll address Mercury dental amalgams soon.
Other factors to boost your oral health other than maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding sugar/smoking:
✅ Nutrient status : vitamin d, calcium, vitamin k
✅ Prebiotics in the diet (prebiotics feed probiotics - see my post on prebiotics for examples in my stories today)
✅ Probiotics. There are certain strains that are specific to the oral microbiome like Lactobacillus Reuteri ATCC 55730 and DSM 17938
✅ Brushing and flossing twice daily
✅ Regular check ups and cleans
✅ Chew food thoroughly to support the next steps to digestion
✅ Hydrate

Taking time to make healthy food delicious is the

Taking time to make healthy food delicious is the happiest place in the world for me.
I have trouble sitting still and cooking healthy slows my mind down to mindfulness and presence. Winging it (sometimes with recipes most of the time without) makes everything an adventure with sometimes clear blue skies and still water, and other times rocky seas (and occasionally setting off the fire alarm)😂.
Today’s menu is miso oven baked trout
Trout marinade : 2 cloves garlic, 1/3 chilli chopped (discard 3/4 of the seeds), 1cm chopped ginger, pepper and 1 teaspoon of brown rice miso paste, a small amount of butter and splash of toasted sesame oil for flavour.
Added broccoli and Japanese pumpkin to soak the flavour and then 1/3 cup of frozen chicken broth for moisture.
Oven baked for 20 minutes
In the last 10 minutes I raised the temp and drizzled the dish with 1/2 teaspoon of honey
Serve with more veggies
Happy Sunday

Cooking experiments are fun. In the spirit of East

Cooking experiments are fun. In the spirit of Easter eggs (occasionally wishing these eggs had chocolate inside 😂), this weeks experiment involved finding a healthy way to prepare quail eggs.
Quail eggs contain vitamins and minerals and they are very subtle in a dish although there wasn’t a lot of scientific data on quail eggs except a promising study on diabetes management
Swipe for the results 👀
I rarely have breakfeast but when I do I like it full of veggies/savoury to fuel my day and nourish my body 🤩
Who said healthy eating can’t be a little wild and creative 🤓😜

A nourishing meal for a nourishing weekend. Sprouts to the superfoods train are the Clarke Kent to the superhero clan ... underestimated, classic and my favourite 😂
Going to make seafood laksa for dinner so lunch today is intentionally light and very easy ✨
💡
The Sprouting process of legumes and seeds increases the bioavailability of its inherent nutrients and reduces the anti-nutrient percentages ( like phytic acid and trypsin inhibitor ).
Today I paired some alfalfa with cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper, a nice quality olive oil and some lemon juice 👌🏽

Mealtime reminder 🚨 Stomach acid (hydrochloric

Mealtime reminder 🚨
Stomach acid (hydrochloric acid HCL) is one of the most important components of managing fatigue and health as it’s not only protective against germs, it’s the first major step in converting food into nutrients.
Hypochlorhydria is one of the most common ailments I see in practice and leads not only to dysbiosis in the gut and fatigue - low stomach acid also has significant spill on effects to our general heath. Our organs are the orchestra in our symphony and our stomach environment sets the tone for the whole piece.
Factors that disrupt stomach acid
- Stress 🚨
- Eating in a hurry 😖
- Medications 💊
- Distracted eating 👀
Sitting and chewing is an art form ( a luxury but a necessity for many of us in a busy and chaotic world).
Here is a lunchtime reminder to slow down, put your phone away and enjoy.
Every mindful chew you make aids you in turning food into nutrients for your body and fuel for your gut bacteria.
Other helpful ways to support healthy stomach acid:
🌱Apple cider vinegar in water
🌱Increase zinc containing foods like oysters and beef
🌱Bitter digestive veggies like roquette, kale, raddichio, watercress
🌱Hands on with Cooking. Your senses involved in meal prep 👀 👂 👃 👄 🤚 will activate the digestive processes.
Gut health is one of the many reasons I reiterate managing the fight or flight response naturally so frequently because our body chemistry responds to our environment. When we are stressed, our digestion switches off.
What kind of messages are we sending to our bodies when we eat in a hurry or while scrolling through Instagram ( I have to actively remind myself to be present)
It might help to Screenshot this post and set as a reminder for at least one meal of the day ✨

Here we are at that blessed junction between Chris

Here we are at that blessed junction between Christmas and New Years. How do we make choices that align with our nutritional commitments we’ve made throughout the year ? We discover that we aren’t perfect with our diets but know that whenever we make a choice that aligns with honouring our bodies it builds self-confidence and positive momentum.
When faced with - what do I bring ? Why not make your own fresh fruit platter ! It will dress up any occasion and be a healthy contribution ✨
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s fabulous

Self care Sundays in the form of Homemade nourishi

Self care Sundays in the form of Homemade nourishing lip balm. In the interests of waste reduction, when I run out of skincare products I’m challenging myself to make something more natural instead with ingredients from the kitchen. The end result is simple, clean and yummy! #homemadebeauty

How are you allocating your precious resources tod

How are you allocating your precious resources today ?
The fight for our attention is intensifying, and just like any battle with increasing competition and thirst for domination, our nervous systems become the collateral damage. In an increasingly digital world, our attention is becoming a form of currency. In this grab for our captivation, there is increasing targeting and exploitation of our intimate emotional vulnerabilities as human beings to hook us into becoming predictable consumers.
We forget how incredibly powerful we are, and that our incredible superpower is choice.
We are more than just enough. We are deeply powerful beings. Each and every single one of us.
Switch off the digital space this weekend as often as you can
