Pucker Up and kiss your health woes goodbye…...everyone enjoys kissing, it may not be as effective as flossing and brushing but here are more reasons than ever to do it….
There are powerful proteins and protective bacteria in saliva that make it a natural antiseptic, when kissing excess saliva is produced, this helps neutralise acids which can cause decay, and washes away food particles and cavity inducing plaque that’s beginning to form. Some experts think that the mineral salts in saliva may help strengthen enamel giving you stronger chompers.
Kissing also prevents the formation of the stress hormones glucocorticoids that are responsible for high blood pressure. Regular kissing has been shown to lower blood pressure by maintaining and stabilising cardiovascular activity and lowers cholesterol by production of anti-oxidants.
Of course more than a good night kiss is needed to protect your teeth, keep up your daily dental hygiene regime, and always brush and floss before going to bed , since sleep slows the production of saliva.
No one to kiss????? Get saliva flowing by chewing sugar-free gum…..
Mwah
