Mindsip insights from this episode:
Address bad dental work to improve HRV and nervous system health
Improper dental work can negatively impact your nervous system and lower your HRV score by creating inflammation or musculoskeletal imbalances that affect the vagus nerve.
Protect molars by understanding eye teeth function
The eye teeth (canines) are designed to be slightly longer to guide the jaw during side-to-side movements, which protects the back teeth from wearing down.
Scrape morning tongue coating to remove liver toxins
The coating on your tongue in the morning is considered toxic residue from the liver's nightly detoxification process and should be scraped off.
Brush lower front teeth vertically for effective cleaning
To properly clean the inside of your lower front six teeth, you should angle the toothbrush vertically and brush in an up-and-down motion.
Floss to oxygenate gums and eliminate harmful bacteria
The main purpose of flossing is not just to remove food, but to introduce oxygen under the gum line to kill the anaerobic bacteria that cause bleeding.
Utilize specific oral probiotics to enhance oral microbiome
To improve the oral microbiome, use specific oral probiotics like Probio-Ora Pro or Biocidin's Dental Flora, which are different from gut probiotics.
Maintain correct tongue posture for optimal oral health
Proper oral posture requires suctioning the entire tongue—tip, middle, and back—lightly against the palate with your lips closed and teeth apart.
Address tongue restriction to alleviate knee and back pain
The body's deep front line of fascia connects the tongue all the way to the toes, meaning tongue restriction can contribute to issues like knee or back pain.
Create antimicrobial tooth powder with Triphala, salt, and pepper
You can make a powerful antimicrobial tooth powder by combining Triphala, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper to brush your teeth with.
Avoid mixing fruit with dairy to prevent stomach fermentation
According to Ayurvedic principles, combining fruits with other foods, especially dairy, is an incompatible combination that can cause fermentation in the stomach.
