Quotes of the Day

Eat a daily minimum of 1 pound of vegetables above pH 5, half of which should be consumed raw. Consuming both raw and cooked vegetables will help ensure that you get a greater variety of antioxidants. Some vegetables, such as carrots, asparagus, cabbage, mushrooms, and spinach, offer a greater concentration of antioxidants when cooked compared to when eaten raw (if they’re prepared by steaming or boiling, that is). But you’re likely to get more vitamin C from these foods if you eat them fresh out of the fridge. Broccoli is one nutritional powerhouse that you should try to eat raw, at least some of the time, as raw broccoli is higher in sulforaphane, a known anticarcinogen. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Without changes, 37% of individuals with prediabetes are likely to progress to full-blown type 2 diabetes within 4 years, and most will have the diagnosis within 10 years.

A company called Oral DNA has a test called MyPerioPath®, which measures the levels of periodontal bacteria in your saliva. This can alert you if harmful periodontal pathogens are at an unhealthy level, indicating the probability that they are breeding in gum pockets around your teeth. I suggest everyone takes a salivary mouth test for periodontal pathogens along with an oral cancer screening, at least every couple of years. If you have active gum disease, I believe you should consider testing immediately and then monitor your oral health until it is satisfactory and remains stable. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
