APPLES - Biting and chewing an apple stimulates the production of saliva in your mouth, reducing tooth decay by lowering the levels of bacteria. An apple a day keeps the Calculus away!
SPINACH - The folate in spinach is good for your healthy cardiovascular system, and magnesium helps lower high blood pressure too. Studies have also shown that spinach helps maintain your vigorous brain function, memory and mental clarity. So this means you can't forget to brush your teeth, floss daily and visit your dentist regularly!
SQUASH - Butternut squash rules the roost when it comes to vitamin A. In fact, 1 cup of the stuff contains a whopping 457% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin A, which is essential for skin, teeth and eye health. So eat it up!
BELL PEPPERS - You need between 75-90 milligrams of vitamin C per day and 1 cup of chopped green bell peppers provides 119.8 milligrams! Wowsers. Also, when your body gets enough vitamin C, you're less likely to develop infections. Your skin, teeth, gums and blood vessels will be healthier and work more efficiently.
PUMPKIN - Rich in calcium, magnesium, and zinc, pumpkin seeds keep bones strong, which means the bone in your mouth is stronger too and your natural teeth will last longer!
