Julia Robert's Rx For Whiter Teeth!

                      Get a Whiter and Brighter Smile! 

Julia Roberts, America's sweetheart before Reese Witherspoon took the title,
just revealed a funny little story about how she keeps her teeth clean.
In fact, it's something her grandfather taught her and if you have a grandma
or grandpa who used household products to treat medical issues or for cleaning,
then you have something in common with Ms. Julia!

Her teeth cleaning secret: Baking Soda!
That's right- the 89 cent box of "do everything" is the secret remedy
Julia Roberts uses to keep her teeth clean. 
Some people are doing away with their regular toothpaste after hearing
about the number of things in it that can harm your health.

So, if you want to do away with the pricey container of white goo that
passes as toothpaste and use something our relatives have been relying on
for decades, pick up a box or two of baking soda today.

To use- pour a little in your hand (a clean hand) run your toothbrush under
hot water for a few secs. and then dip it in the hand with the baking soda.
Brush for 30 to 60 secs. (no more than that, or you'll brush off too much enamel)
and once or twice a week, after finishing your teeth, run the toothbrush over your lips.
You'll have the softest, most kissable lips around.

And if you're still not convinced, remember these 2 facts.
a) Julia Roberts said her grandfather had only one cavity in his adult life.
b) Oprah also is a big proponent of baking soda, she hasn't used toothpaste
in almost 3 decades.

Good Luck!

Adam Sandler's Rx To Prevent Cavities!

                 A Condiment To Prevent Cavities! 

Adam Sandler has another movie coming out this weekend.
Surprisingly, the critics are giving it good reviews.
But, this post isn't about the Adam Sandler movie,
it's about a condiment.
You see, Adam Sandler is a proud Jew, and during a lot of 
the Jewish holidays, (Seder and Passover) the Jewish people
use a lot of horseradish.

You know the unique smelling and tasting condiment,
well, it can boost your health in a number of ways.
Like...
a) Cancer Prevention-
1 tsp. of this condiment has the same cancer-fighting benefits
of cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower.
Horseradish contains compounds that help the liver flush out harmful
carcinogens from your body. 
b) Sinuses-
Do your sinuses clog up? Use a little horseradish on a sandwich or potato 
cake and open them (sinuses) right up.
c) Cleaner Teeth-
Want to prevent cavities and keep your teeth for yrs. and yrs?
Horseradish to the rescue. Horseradish contains compounds that block the
growth of cavity-causing bacteria.

So, take a break from ketchup and mustard for awhile and start
using some horseradish. And one more tip-  start with the mild brand
first, using the hot brand to start, may cause extreme discomfort,
(especially in the nostrils).

Good Luck!
