What kind of toothpaste we should choose

There is no doubt that the maintaining healthy teeth and mouth healthy is very important. Each day of our various media “attack” ads for different toothpastes: hygiene, whitening, treatment and prevention.
Toothpaste, of course, and may be expensive, and cheap. However, this is not a substantial cause of differences in quality. Dentists in ads really sound convincing, even the prices of expensive creams are acceptable, especially taking into account the possible consequences of poor dental hygiene, but ultimately not the price, and the contents of a toothpaste determine whether it would work. One of the pluses is often compound property to remove the bacterias from the teeth. But what? Manufacturers used for this purpose often calcium carbonate, ie chalk, and she was rude abrasive, which scratched tooth enamel and deletes neck of the tooth. As a rule (but not universally!) The more inexpensive pasta, the more coarse is chalk. Even worse is when the paste contains aluminum oxide (in some countries, this ingredient has already been banned).
The second trick is a popular advertising toothpaste with antibacterial additives. Above all, it is Triclosan – a chemical that destroys microorganisms in the oral cavity. But along with that he has the ability to harm and useful to the body’s microflora. Moreover, bacteria are able to quickly adapt to Triclosan. Some manufacturers include in dental antibacterial agents such as metronidazole and chlorhexidine. Recent studies indicate that they bear as much benefit as much as injury and specialists now recommend not be used in the manufacture of toothpaste. he third fact to which producers focus is abundant foam that is capable of making pasta. In most compounds for this purpose is sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS). New research of U.S. scientists has shown that this substance even in very small quantities, is liable to lead to serious injury and even loves to cataract (cataract). Important component of the toothpaste is calcium. According to advertisements almost becomes clear that there is no need to eat foods containing calcium, you only need such toothpaste with calcium. But actually calcium carbonate (used in the manufacture of toothpaste) is insoluble, ie he can not contribute to the mineralization of teeth. This function performs fluorine. 90% of all toothpastes contain fluoride. But in different concentration of fluoride toothpastes were significantly different, and also used fluoride are different, ie there is active but there are placebo. The most active and effective in this respect compound of fluorine is amino-flour that creates a stable protective layer of enamel, but often lacking even in popular brands toothpaste. More often used in expensive micro-phosphate (Colgate, Aquafresh) or sodium fluoride (Blend-a-Med), but form more easily be abrasive protective layer. The fluoride is not at all compatible with inexpensive abrasives like calcium carbonate, because then no benefit from it. In toothpaste for sensitive teeth, often used ftorid lead, but as a side effect commonly seen staining of teeth and fillings in yellow-brown. The need for an adult of fluorine is 2-3 mg / day. 1 / 3 of his required amount of fluoride a person receives through food, and two thirds – of the water. Natural sources of fluoride include fish, apples and tea. Fluoride affects the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, involved in the formation of teeth and bones, but it must be remembered that the very substance of fluoride is second-class danger. Excess fluoride in the body causes overbalancing of the phosphorous-calcium exchange, leading to a violation of mineralization of bone tissue and tendons.
The scientists claim that fluorine in excessive amounts causes colloid rebirth of the tissue of the thyroid gland, reduces immunity impedes intracellular processes of synthesis and accelerates the physiological aging. A new study published in the journal Behavioral Brain Research, show that fluoride is able to cause changes in the brain similar to Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The main conclusion: if Fluoride is actually able to help our teeth, it must be extremely small doses. Far more useful is that element within the body in the necessary amount through food – fish, apples, tea. If you prefer tap water to mineral do not think you can without any danger to use compounds containing fluorine. Many experts stress how dangerous it is to fluoridated water. Many people do not know that Fluoride is used for this comes from toxic waste containing lead and arsenic. It is well known and accepted by professionals in the selection rule of toothpaste, they should be changed more frequently – even in the morning and evening to use different types and in all cases carefully read everything written on the packaging. Moreover, the use of each toothpaste approved for sale is a better option than the absence of any regular care of teeth and mouth.

Each year at this time, experts advise to consider what steps to take to reduce the risk of influenza. How to prevent it, but if we have become sick, how to heal properly? Just now is the time to apply what many described as the “most effective weapon against the flu. It comes to vaccines. The optimal period is one month before the expected outbreak. In practice, you can always be vaccinated, but if late, you will receive only half of the possible effects. Of course, there are other ways to prevent or, where appropriate – for treatment.
How flu is different from the rest viruses
In essence, the flu is ARVI – acute respiratory viral illness. It can be caused by more than 200 different viruses, the symptoms are similar: fever, cough, scratch throat, fever … Focuses on the flu because it is the worst disease in this group (more precisely a disease associated with the most likely and complications) and may cause epidemics.
The typical flu begins acute: fever, headache, temperature is increased to 38.5 – 40 degrees. May appear weak, sore muscles and joints, vomiting, dizziness, runny nose. In the early days usually feel pain in the throat and nose is stuffy. After 2-3 days have already been dry cough and runny nose, and throat sores. Introduce the virus into epithelial cells mostly in the upper airways and produces hundreds of similar viruses that come out of the cell, destroying it and implemented in other cells. Fever lasts for about 4 days. Moreover, cells are damaged blood vessels, nerve cells, and this provokes complications.
Who is at risk in greater
The flu can get it all. Even the most hardened man who first meets with a new type of influenza, as a rule, ill. But most vulnerable are the elderly, people with chronic diseases of the kidneys, lungs, cardiovascular system, with disturbances in metabolism (especially diabetes) and immune deficiency. Higher is the chance to got flu and those who regularly take aspirin and imunodepresanti that enhances penetration of the vessels. Statistically there is high risk and the medics, teachers and workers in public institutions and transport, ie for those who communicate with many other potential virus carriers.
How to prevent ourselves
If you are often sick, your body probably has an outbreak of chronic infection, which weakens it. This could be tonsillitis, bronchitis, etc. These diseases must be treated promptly. It is useful to be longer in the air and to eat a full – diets make a person vulnerable to disease. If no contraindications, and after consulting a doctor, take medicine, producing interferon, which enhances the formation of antibodies and antiviral immunity restored. This will help to fight viral infections.
