Today we’re going to talk about the connection between the health of your teeth and the health of your heart. If you have problems with your teeth, it can more than double the problems in your heart.

It has been found that some of the bacteria in your teeth can actually end up in the heart. So, if you have some type of infection in the gums, certain microbes can get into the bloodstream and travel down to the heart. This could lead to clots.

It has also been found that certain microbes in your teeth can end up in your joints. One type of microbe found in the teeth has even been found in 84% of stroke victims.

Vitamin K2 helps keep your bones and teeth strong. When you’re missing vitamin K2, the calcium from your bones and from your teeth travel into your arteries, soft tissues, and joints. People deficient in K2 could end up with more calcified arteries and dental problems.

Sources of vitamin K2:
• Butter
• Liver
• Egg yolks
• Certain cheeses
• Fermented soy products

One of the most important things you can do is to not eat sugar. Sugar feeds the microbes. The microbes ferment the sugar and give off an acid that creates destruction in your teeth and the soft tissues around the teeth.

In the presence of sugar, your body can’t use vitamin C. Vitamin C is necessary for the collagen that holds the tooth into the bone.

Natural antibiotics:
• Oregano
• Thyme
• Garlic
• Clove

But, keep in mind that these herbal antibiotics may not be as beneficial unless you’re on a healthy diet (healthy keto).
