Goodbye to cavities

Believe it or not, there is a very simple and inexpensive way to prevent the recurrence of cavities.

Simply, it is necessary to drink a green tea without sugar or to take a mouthful of this drink after cleaning the teeth. If you need to sweeten the tea, use xylitol or stevia, which are functional sweeteners that oral bacteria cannot use them because microorganisms cannot metabolize these molecules.

If cholurios are used, the treatment with mouthwashes or green tea ingestion has to be done at the end.

The dentist will eventually confirm this miracle!

The secret to get all the benefits of garlic

If you really want to take advantage of all the benefits of garlic, just mince it with a few drops of water at room temperature and let it macerate for several minutes.

This macerate should be poured over the pre-prepared food just before serving.

With this procedure you will notice that your dishes will have a particular flavor and aroma and will possess all the beneficial properties of garlic.

Garlic has an inactive molecule, alliin, which by the action of the enzyme alliinase, is converted into an active molecule, allicin, which is the compound that gives to garlic all its beneficial properties.

If garlic is put together with the food to be cooked, it loses all its properties because the enzyme alliinase is destroyed by the heat of cooking and therefore cannot convert alliin into alliinase.

How to enhance the properties of turmeric

Turmeric is a spice that has many health benefits.

To take full advantage of all the benefits of turmeric, it is advisable to use it together with a little black pepper powder. In this way turmeric will be 2000 times more bioactive.

It is not recommended to use parsley and cloves at the same time because they have an antagonistic effect with turmeric, because they inhibit its bioactivity.

Sugar alternatives with the best sweeteners

Sugar, like salt, is a health poison and is a highly addictive food that must to be replaced.

Currently there are only two natural sweeteners that have functional food properties that greatly benefit health, they are xylitol and stevia.

Xylitol looks and tastes very similar to sugar. Stevia, although it is 300 times sweeter than sugar, is often rejected by people because of its particular taste.

Xylitol is obtained from birch and stevia from Stevia reubadiana. These sweeteners have been consumed for more than 100 years and have not been shown to have adverse health effects.

At first, xylitol may cause some diarrhea, especially in people who do not have a diet that favors the intestinal biota. Usually xylitol does not cause problems, particularly if consumed in normal amounts and especially if foods that improve intestinal biota such as Greek yogurt and kefir are included in the diet.

As functional foods, these sweeteners, since they cannot be metabolized by microorganisms, help to prevent tooth decay. Among the benefits of xylitol, it favors bone hardness, decreasing the degree of osteosporosis.

There are a number of sweeteners on the market, but none of them have been shown to be safe.

Xylitol has 2 kcal per gram and stevia 0 kcal.
