Good afternoon đź‘‹ 

Want to reduce your cholesterol? Enjoy foods with a high soluble fiber content, as this can bind to cholesterol in your gut and remove it. Good examples of foods with plenty of soluble fiber include fruit, oats, beans, and legumes.

In today’s email we cover chronic fatigue risk, continuous glucose monitors, and eating for dental health from within.

One-Minute Book Review

The Dental Diet: The Surprising Link between Your Teeth, Real Food, and Life-Changing Natural Health – by Dr. Steven Lin

As it turns out, there’s a lot more to healthy teeth than skipping the sugar and getting some calcium.

The author’s journey started with the realization that most of his work as a dentist should be unnecessary, and not just in the “you should have been flossing” sense. Rather, he came to the same conclusions as his fellow dentist Weston Price before him, and this time (unlike Price) he stuck to his own field, dentistry—meaning that the conclusions he kept were the more valid ones.

Another thing he does better than Price is that he contextualizes the information—we don’t need, for example, to be eating seal fat as a main component of our diet, but we do need to be getting sufficient amounts of certain fat-soluble vitamins. And most people aren’t. Same with what’s good or bad for our oral microbiome, and by extension, our saliva, and by extension, our teeth and gums.

There’s a lot of nutritional information in here; macros and micronutrients alike, but the book goes further than that, to also recommend minimally-processed food that requires more chewing, for example. Not just for its nutritional content, but because that helps our teeth move to (and then stay) where they are ideally supposed to be. No amount of perfectly-blended nutritional supplement drink will align your maxilla for you, say. But chomping on raw carrots? Different story.

Dr. Lin offers a 40-day meal plan, but aware that if you’re vegetarian or vegan you’re probably going to have to rethink it yourself using the information he gives, because his meal plan includes animal products.

Bottom line: if you’d like to eat for better oral health (nutritionally, physically, and for your oral microbiome), this book has all the information you’ll need.
