But also so many times you have heard that only domestic apple cider vinegar is healthy.
Because of this, today I will present you how you can make homemade apple cider vinegar.



  First wash the apples that you want to use, then chop them in a glass jar or plastic barrel.  
 Plastic barrels are not supposed to practice, but if it is a larger amount than you are simply forced to use them. Add boiled and cooled water 4 times the amount of the quantity of apples. Overall according to the recipes on one kilogram of apples goes 3-5 liters of water, so depending on whether you want to prepare a stronger or diluted vinegar. On this amount, add 50 to 100 grams of sugar.

Nutrition for a Healthy Mouth




 Diet despite the impact on body weight, the level of fat in the body and the health of the cardiovascular system, have a huge impact on the health of the mouth and teeth. And because the oral cavity is the initial part of the digestive system of food, her condition has a major impact on the health of this system, and from there on the overall health of the individual.

Avoid refined sugar

  Refined sugar is food source of bacteria in the mouth that metabolize and release acids that eat away surface of the teeth and cause cavities.Because of that this type offood shouldbe used sparingly andafter consumingit isdesirable tobrush your teeth.

Beware of soft drinks

 

  Soft drinks contain high levels of refined sugar. In addition they contain many other substances (such as phosphoric acid , pH regulators and preservatives ) that are potentially harmful to teeth and other oral tissues . Acids from them directly corrodes tooth substance and simultaneously provide an ideal environment for the development of bacteria who using the sugars from juice produce yet more acids that cause cavities. Cavities lesions in people who excessively consume carbonated drinks are usually massive , fast developing and soft . Soon they reach to tooth pulp and cause inflammation. Acids also performed micro damages of the soft tissues in the mouth , making them more easily susceptible from attacks of all types of microorganisms.

Careful with coffee and colored drinks

  Coffee and colored beverages (red wine, cocoa, etc.) affect the teeth by carrying out their darkening and yellowing. Wine also with its sticky and acidic components can have devastating action on the teeth.

Give up smoking and alcohol
  Cigarettes, alcohol and some medicationscause drynessin the mouth.This prevents the so-called "self-cleaning of the mouth" with the flow of saliva. So in dry mouth bacteria have ideal conditions for continuous attack over hard and soft tissues.

Three balanced meals daily
  With three well- balanced meals a day , bacteria lack the ability to produce sufficient quantities of acid that will cause cavities.
  Under balanced meals it means moderate intake of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and vitamins and minerals. These type of diet include complex carbohydrates ( boiled potatoes, grains and any food rich with dietary fiber ), proteins ( meat and dairy products, fish , etc.) and fat ( healthy fats found in nuts , almonds , etc. ). Besides, it must not be forgotten consuming of fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.

Chew gum

 

  Gums that doesn’t contain sugars in their composition and they contribute to beneficial hygiene of the mouth and teeth. The gum chewing makes mechanical cleaning of the surfaces of the teeth and simultaneously  stimulate the secretion of saliva which has an additional effect in washing the mouth.

Soda

  Baking soda - its use is due to the reactive composition that easily combines with dirt on the teeth, and if it is blended with sea salt , the effect is amplified. The teeth will be whiter and with less layers, but do not overdo the use - once a week is enough.

Vinegar

 

  The apple cider vinegar helps in bleaching. However it is important to be careful because acids erode tooth enamel.

Dental floss

 

  The best practice is cleaning your teeth with dental floss. Do this as often as possible. Always keep the unopened package with dental floss. Help yourself to prevent various diseases, food will be retained and you will have less reason to go to the dentist.

Makeup

Therefore , diet can play a major role in the prevention of  back pain .


 So, what to do?

 Changes in eating habits are easier to say than to do, but it is worth to try. Small changes can make a big difference, so you have  nothing to lose. And the basic rule is that with the removal of all "known " bad foods like cookies, chocolate, soft drinks, chips, from your diet, your job is already half over!

 Help with back pain due to diet

• Drink more water , at least 6-8 cups a day. Dehydration  will cause back pain in those who are prone to back problems. Water also helps to expel excess acidic particles from the kidneys.




• Avoid red meat, caffeine and sugar as much as possible. Alcohol and factory- processed foods can also burden your back .

• Eat more green leafy vegetables. Legumes and nuts like almonds, seeds and fish are good choices, too.

 Simple tips for a healthy diet


 When we are too busy and under stress we are often prone to make poor choices in diet, and it can only increase stress and cause additional problems.

Breakfast




 Skipping breakfast makes it difficult to maintain a steady level of sugar in the blood and the efficient functioning of the body during the day.

Green Tea

 Large amounts of caffeine that can harm the body and can increase stress and reduce mental performance, can be replaced  with miraculous and widely known green tea.


Instead Coca Cola drink mineral water

 Excessive use of Coca Cola has many bad health effects. Healthier alternative is mineral water that refreshes, hydrates the body, while the caffeine of Coke dehydrates the body.

Healthy snack






 You should always have a snack with you, it is advisable to be rich in sugars that will immediately raise the drop in blood sugar in your body. Grain desserts are a great choice.
 If you have a habit of eating chips, flips and other snacks, replace them with carrots, hard cheese, celery, sunflower seeds. Even popcorn is a good choice if it is without the fat and salt.
