Sugar plays a role in cavities

Excess sugar in the body does not only cause obesity and diabetes, but also dental health. Eating more sugar can interfere with dental health even though it's still often overlooked.

Sugar turns out to have an important role in making cavities. The sugar consumed is converted by 20 billion microorganisms in the mouth as an acid that changes the condition of the PH mouth.

"This is where the caries formation process takes place," said Ratu Mirah Afifah, Unilever Indonesia's Division on Head for Health & Wellbeing and Professional Institutions, yesterday.

This caries process does not occur in a short time. It took about six months to form.

"That is why it is recommended to do dental examinations every six months," Mirah said.

However, caries and cavities can be prevented. One of them is by limiting sugar intake according to the body's needs, brushing your teeth after breakfast and before going to bed and regular dental health checks.

Olive Oil Is More Effective to Overcome Impotence than Viagra

A study in Greece found a special finding for men. The study from the University of Athens called several spoons of olive oil more effective to overcome impotence than viagra.

Researchers from the University of Athens in Greece, Dr. Christina Chrysohoou said long-term lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise seem to have a big impact not only on arteries but also on quality of life. Including, he said, sexual capacity in the older population.

"Consumption of olive oil and putting it in the diet can keep the ability of men in bed to remain high," he was quoted as saying by Medical Daily on Monday (3/9).

To arrive at this conclusion, more than 600 men were involved in becoming participants. They undergo a diet, namely the consumption of vegetables, fruits and nuts. Meat consumption and processed food are reduced. While the intake of butter is replaced with olive oil.

The result, participants who underwent this diet reduced the risk of having erectile dysfunction by 40 percent. Then, those who consumed about nine tablespoons of olive oil each week not only reduced the risk of impotence, but also increased testosterone levels.

"Olive oil is a solution for men, they can still maintain their sexual function. This is also the answer so men stay long in bed," said Chrysohoou.

Consumption of Red Meat and Cheese Healthy for the Heart

During this time, consumption of red meat is often avoided by some people because it is considered not good for body health. The same thing applies to derivative products such as cheese.

This assumption makes the results of the latest research conducted by the McMaster University research team quite surprising. The reason, the research team found that consumption of non-processed red meat and cheese on a regular basis can actually reduce the risk of premature death by improving heart health.

This study involved more than 218 thousand adults from more than 50 countries in the world. The research team divided all participants into five categories according to the diet they applied daily.

The results showed that consumption of dairy products and non-processed red meat could drastically reduce the risk of premature death. This benefit can be obtained if processed red meat and milk derivative products are consumed daily in moderate amounts and combined with a balanced and healthy diet.

In addition, the research team also said people need to pay more attention to the amount of refined carbohydrates consumed daily.

"People who adopt a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, dairy products and meat have the lowest risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death," said one researcher Dr. Andrew Mente as reported by the Independent.
