Eat Sleep Breathe Oral Health

Our mouths are filled with information about our systemic health. They always have been, but now medicine and science are putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Research has intimately linked oral health problems to diseases in other parts of the body. In a modern era of advanced knowledge and sophisticated technology, why is the amount of dental work done each year still in the range of billions of dollars? Why do people still suffer from rotting teeth and oral disease? What is missing in our public knowledge about oral health and why do we silo oral health into such a narrow focus?This book will cover a wide range of topics, from the microscopic bacteria in our body to anthropological trends that have affected the shapes of our mouths. In this book, we will go on a tour of a healthy mouth, learn what oral disease is, what causes it, and why we should care about it. Our journey will take us through the history of dentistry and the evolution of our oral health over time. This book will explore diet, nutrition, and exactly how it links to oral health. Lastly, we will learn about the role the mouth plays in breathing and how it all connects to the mouth body connection. Learning the history of our mouths, what really goes on inside, and how it all connects to the bigger picture will help you and your family not only avoid dental work, but also live healthier, better lives. If you have been suffering from oral disease without a solution or if you simply want to go on a journey of our teeth through time, this book is for you. It is time to put the mouth back into the body.

USA TODAY AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER You’ve heard the advice: If you want to live longer, eat healthy foods and exercise daily. But there’s a third piece of the puzzle, and it can add 10 to 15 years to your life. It’s been right under your nose this whole time—literally. Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Everything in the human life cycle is related to the mouth: fertility, childbirth, sleeping soundly, success in school, finding a mate, getting a job, psychological well-being, avoiding chronic or systemic disease, and aging well. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. If Your Mouth Could Talk is the result of over 20 years of firsthand experience and research by renowned orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedist, Dr. Kami Hoss. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. This isn’t a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the other standard advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you’ll hear about how to protect your mouth’s microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more. This is an in-depth guide for people who want to take control of their health to the fullest extent possible—who want to understand how their mouth contributes to their overall health and quality of life, and what they can do to better care for it. If your mouth could talk, it would tell you about the condition of your entire life. Time to start listening.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most common chronic disease in the United States is dental disease, which affects more than 18 million American children. Teeth are supposed to last a lifetime, but among adults over 65, nearly one in five have lost all of their teeth. #2 The mouth is the gateway to your body, and it is affected by everything that goes through it. Poor oral health can be a result of systemic disease, or the cause of it. The microorganisms in an unhealthy mouth can cause not only cavities and gum disease, but also chronic inflammation. #3 The maxilla, which is the bone that forms the upper jaw, has a profound influence on the shape of the nose, lips, teeth, cheekbones, and eyes. It also contains the maxillary sinuses. The maxilla is intimately connected to many other facial structures, and its proper growth is critical in the development of the dentition, bite, and support structures that control the tongue and airway. #4 The growth and development of dental occlusion is a very long process that starts during week six of intrauterine life and ends during the late teen years or shortly after 20 years of age. The growth of the jaws and teeth is influenced by both genetics and environment.

What do health problems like sleep apnea, diabetes, stroke, and oral cancer have in common? Would you be surprised to learn that they're all likely to be discovered first by your dentist?

A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020 Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR “A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly. There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe. Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is. Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology, Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

A unique exploration of how dental health connects to holistic health, with a 40-day meal plan and long-lasting dietary guidelines that are easily integrable into everyday life Throughout the years, dental health has often been characterized as a reflection of our overall health, where bad oral health results from issues with other parts of our body. But what if we flipped the paradigm? What if we thought about dental health as the foundation for our physical health as a whole? Dr. Steven Lin, an experienced dentist and the world’s first dental nutritionist, has analyzed our ancestral traditions, epigenetics, gut health, and the microbiome in order to develop food-based principles for a literal top-down holistic health approach. Merging dental and nutritional science, Dr. Lin lays out the dietary program that can help ensure you won’t need dental fillings or cholesterol medications —and give you the resources to raise kids who develop naturally straight teeth. With our mouth as the gatekeeper of our gut, keeping our oral microbiome balanced will create a healthy body through a healthy mouth. Dr. Lin arms you with a 40-day meal plan, complete with the Dental Diet food pyramid, exercises for the mouth, recipes, and cooking techniques to help you easily and successfully implement his techniques into your everyday life. The tools to improve overall wellness levels and reverse disease are closer than we think—in our markets, in our pantries, and, most frequently, in our mouths.
