Dental Nutrition Tips

The dreaded cold and flu.  Everyone gets them, it’s like death and taxes, you just can’t avoid them, but…

You know vitamin C is promoted as a key element in the fight against colds and flu. So, you do the right thing and reach for the vitamin C.  You load up on vitamin C and wait for the desired results.  Time ticks away and the miseries of the cold/flu still linger.  How can that be? How come you are not getting the needed relief?  Is vitamin C just a hoax?  The real question is — is vitamin C expected to do the job all by its self?  Maybe it needs a little help.  In fact, vitamin C doesn’t work as well unless it is taken with another key element, cayenne pepper.

An old Amish remedy has given many the desired relief they needed.  This herb remedy is called Super C.  It is mixture of cayenne pepper, ginger root and vitamin A in with vitamin C to make it more potent. You might try this old remedy when you feel the miseries of the cold and/or flu starting to sap the energy right out of you.

There are a number of places which carry herbs and spices for medical and culinary uses.  You might start with your local health food stores.

Conclusion: Vitamin C is essential in a healthy diet. Don’t discount the benefits of this valuable and essential vitamin in helping to maintain a healthy oral cavity.

Here’s to a healthy mouth supported by good nutrition including vitamin C.
