How Going To The Dentist Could Save Your LifeWritten by Kenneth Kowalsky

According to researchers at University of Buffalo School of Dental medicine, a study of 818 teeth and jaw x-rays of Pima Indians in Arizona found that those who had a build-up of calcified plaque in carotid arteries were twice as likely to die from heart attack or stroke. Normally, calcified plaque is present in only about 3 percent of general population. An earlier study of 2,700 dental patients showed calcium deposits on each side of carotid arteries can be spotted in x-rays of teeth and jaw bone. It makes sense that dental x-rays would see carotid artery --which carries blood from heart to brain and back-- so dentists should be aware that it is screening tool for cardiovascular disease. If they see signs of calcification in dental x-rays, they tell patient to see his or her doctor ASAP. BOTTOM LINE: Most dental insurance plans allow you a yearly dental exam at little or no cost so schedule a complete check-up, including x-rays, with your dentist ASAP. If you don't have dental insurance, consider enrolling in a discount dental plan that fits your budget and then go see a dentist ASAP.

Yes, I hear all you "no carb" people screaming. Carbs are energy. If you have high energy requirements, you must have carbs. We all need carbs. You just have to be smart about carbs you eat, and when you eat them. Besides, Atkins Died. --------------------------------------------------------------- Carole is author of Breaking Destructive Eating Habits- A shocking report that reveals why they don't want you to lose weight and what you can do to get your life back.
