Your mouth is the gateway to your digestive system, and it harbours a diverse community of bacteria, both beneficial and harmful. Proper oral hygiene helps maintain a healthy balance of these bacteria. When oral hygiene is neglected, harmful bacteria can overgrow, potentially leading to infections that may be swallowed and travel to the gut, disrupting the gut microbiome.
Our tips for supporting oral and gut health:
[ 01 ] Brush and Floss Regularly
Maintain a routine of brushing twice a day and flossing daily to remove food particles and plaque.
[ 02 ] Use Natural Oral Care Products
Opt for natural toothpaste and mouthwashes that are free from harsh chemicals and additives.
[ 03 ] Stay Hydrated
Adequate water intake helps produce saliva, which is essential for neutralizing acids and washing away food particles.
[ 04 ] Eat a Balanced Diet
Incorporate foods rich in fibre, probiotics, and antioxidants to support both oral and gut health.
By maintaining good oral hygiene, you not only protect your teeth and gums but also contribute to the health of your entire digestive system, and this, in turn, enhances your energy levels, improves nutrient absorption, supports mood regulation, strengthens your immune system, and promotes hormonal balance.
