Did you know that brushing your teeth isn’t just about getting rid of the garlic breath and coffee stains? Good oral health is actually directly linked to good health overall. Keep your mouth and your body happy with a good oral hygiene routine.

If your oral health is better than you think it should be, you may be benefiting from flouridated water coming out of your tap. Flouride helps prevent cavities and many cities are adding it to their water supply, and have been for decades. If you drink mostly filtered water, bottled water, or no water at all, you might not be getting enough flouride. Get yours by using a flouride rinse in the evenings.

The issue of a deficiency of B12 is uncommon these days in the USA, as this problem is mainly a result of malnutrition. Nonetheless, this is a condition that can also appear as the result of a poor absorption by our body. It is important that we learn about the common vitamin B12 deficiency treatments and how to avoid it.

For mild cases of B12 deficiency, it is always recommended the use of over the counter vitamin supplements. These supplements are easily found in drugstores and come mostly in the form of pills.

In severe cases however and in cases where there is malabsorption, the vitamin B12 treatment will include more serious measures like the use of intramuscular injections of B12 that must be applied for life and the inclusion of prescribed drugs such as prednisone.

I can understand his confusion. Heres a short explanation, and then well have a look at how to choose the best Omega 3 fish oil supplements.

There’s the 3 main Omega 3 fats, DHA, EPA and ALA. They are all good for you but the most important by far is DHA.
