Flossing teeth daily increases life expectancy
November 22nd, 2009
I was browsing a life expectancy site the other day, not that I am nearing the end of my life but to make precautions to ensure I am doing the best I can for a long healthy life. The site mentioned one point that I has not thought of which was about flossing your teeth. Flossing your teeth daily plays a big part in life expectancy. When you floss you prevent the gums from being inflamed, when your gums are inflamed you have a chronic bacterial infection in your mouth, which goes on to harm your arteries and in the end harming your heart. For a healthy heart flossing is the answer and since reading this I am making sure I do this everyday. Some doctors say flossing alone can increase your life expectancy by 1 year and some say up to 6 years, there is a reason to do it.
