Oral Hygiene May Play A Key Role In Preventing High Blood Pressure

According to the Centers of Disease Control, kidney disease is ranked in the top 10 causes of death.

Kidney disease plays a major role in Cancer and several other Diseases.

The kidneys produce a hormone (erythropoietin) that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all of the other cells in the body including teeth and gum tissue. People with kidney disease don’t always produce enough erythropoietin, and the result can be anemia (a shortage of red blood cells).

If your kidneys fail to keep your body clear of toxic waste, then the result is an increase in the level of toxicity throughout the body including the oral cavity (mouth) which, in turn, leads to a health crisis.

Oral Hygiene

The American lifestyle (containing alcohol, red meat, coffee, caffeinated teas, soft drinks, artificial sweeteners and sugars) is killing our kidneys.

So, with that in mind what are you to do for your threatened kidneys?

1. Drink more water. Twelve glasses of water a day is recommended.
2. Cut back or, better yet, eliminate dehydrating agents. The ones to eliminate are the worst of the bunch, such as alcohol, soft drinks and coffee.

Cancer

Beware: People with kidney disease should not take supplements without first consulting their doctor. With kidney disease, the kidneys cannot process high doses of nutrients.

It is important to do all you can to keep your kidneys healthy which, in turn, will help to keep your oral cavity healthy coupled with good Oral Hygiene habits.
