Boost Brain Power

The human brain is a marvelous piece of organic design. The organ

controls the nervous system in all vertebrates, including humans.

The hub of what helps distinguish man from the rest of the animal

kingdom processes about 70,000 thoughts a day and in order to keep

the synaptic connections sharp, daily brushing and flossing are

necessary.

According to a study conducted by a team of British psychiatrists

and dentists, "...gingivitis and periodontal disease were associated

with worse cognitive function throughout adult life, not just in later

years." (http://www.prevention.com/health/brain-health/surprising-

tips-boost-your-brain). The information was unearthed after the team

analyzed thousands of subjects aged 20 to 59. They suggest

following dentist recommendations of brushing teeth twice daily

for two minutes a session, plus flossing every  day to remove

dental plaque. A solid preventive oral health regime will  keep you

sharp, regardless of your age.
