    Oral Hygiene

    Report bad ads?

    I watched a video earlier of a doctor saying oral hygiene is scientifically linked to cardiovascular health. People who keep clean have healthier hearts.

    Thats a very interesting yet debatable topic - commonly known as Gut Brain relationship. (Very common in debate in Autism)

    Yes I believe there is - although whether it is neurological or psychological is a different debate.

    Some might say too much around the waist...and not enough in the head. I would remind them that everything I could do at 17 I can do equally well at 72. Only goes to show what a wreck I was at 17.

    Interesting. I haven't looked into it too much so I'm wondering, why's there a debate in regards to that? It can absolutely have an effect on both.

    Mashallah are you 72? May Allah forgive your sins and grant you a healthy life ameen

    A little bit around the waist isn't anything to worry about. More of me to love is what I say

    Just about, in sha Allah. My brain thinks I'm 30...until I try climbing a flight of stairs. Thank you for your blessing. That's very kind. May He who is the Lord of Mercy do the same for you.

    As for my waistline....my wife says the same. That is why she forces chocolate and goodies upon me...in spite of my protests. It would be rude of me to refuse, of course. The things I do for love

    No - not Absolute - that's the entire issue. If there was absoluteness in it, there would be no debate at all.
    I will try to précis this for you.
    When it impacts on the neurological cortex - this SHOULD entice a certain behaviour - but if the brain scan indicates neurotransmission without resulting in behaviour changes then effectively it can't be deduced that it effected the psychology of the person.

    Then you have the other cases whereby a food intake will impact the behaviour yet the brain scan shows no neurotransmission

    So that raises the entire debate.

    I believe this would require intensive research. For food to have an impact neurologically it would depend on what the food is, whether or not it's isolated, and how long it's being experimented. Quite a few factors to take into consideration I suppose. The brain..such a complex organ subhanallah

    Re: Oral Hygiene

    The brain no doubt takes it's cocktails of chemicals, along with tissue and proteins etc from the food, gases, and liquids we ingest, so why should it be a cause of doubt that what's in the bloodstream affects brain health and performance? And since mood and behaviour are changed by food and drugs, at least the transmitters in the reward center are being fired along with most or all the other networked components (which are affected by the reward center at least to a small extent since it is the primary lobbyist behind decisions and resulting actions), maybe some of the micro-currents are too small to be picked up or accurately read by current tech ....Or maybe i am being too childish and simplistic in approach?

    I kinda agree with what you're saying. For example, there's a diet which is recommended and is effective for those who have epileptic seizures called the ketogenic diet. It's a high (healthy) fat, very low carb diet. It basically forces the body's metabolism to run on fats (ketosis) instead of glucose. I think since the brain is largely made up of fat, this diet supports brain health. Normal people who do this diet also experience a heightened sense of mental clarity. However, it can take months or up to a year before the body becomes ketogenic. An experiment which only measures a few weeks or a few months of this diet will not yield sufficient results if the body is not yet in a state of ketosis.

    To think i was only reading about ketosis just a few days ago (as the saying goes: great minds think alike )

    Was learning about electrolytes and how they aid in survival because we have a very thin paralyzied arterial stroke patient and came across the more frightening effects of ketosis though :

    In the first three days, the body is still using energy from glucose.[citation needed] After that, the liver starts processing body fat, in a process called ketosis. After depleting fat, the body enters a "starvation mode".[citation needed] At this point the body "mines" the muscles and vital organs for energy, and loss of bone marrow becomes life-threatening. There are examples of hunger strikers dying after 46 to 73 days of strike.


    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_strike
    Also, Muslims do a very decent calibration during ramadan and get to keep the body adaptable regardless of era or individual medical knowledge.

    Re: Oral Hygiene

    I honestly cant believe it..

    Maybe one day people will be killed for smiling.

    Thought provoking.

    I prefer the other one.. similar but different..

    About the tongue being a reflection of the state of man.. and the disease he carries with him.

    Its a hadith but i have literally badly paraphrased and cant find it on google.

    Not to be confused with any biblical teaching about food or some such thing.

    Anyway in my own experience i share this..

    I met a guy that always gives me incorrect money..

    The last time he came in i even gave him extra change..

    Really destroyed me.. iv felt angry all week.. i didnt even sleep properly one night.

    I can only think its blood pressure but exercise seemed to have helped.

    I feel i may do him a disservice the next time he comes through..

    Although hes a lot bigger than me, always mentions gym work.. or maybe i shrink sometimes.

    I am not accustomed to making mistakes.

    Definitely bigger in the back.

    ..honestly dont know what happens if i kill him off. (Not literally)

    Really destroyed me.. iv felt angry all week.. i didnt even sleep properly one night.

    I can only think its blood pressure but exercise seemed to have helped.
    Do you not say anything when he gives you incorrect change? A receipt/bill should be good in cases like these.

    But yes, exercise is quite a stress reliever. I loved kickboxing...I want to start up again.

After depleting fat, the body enters a "starvation mode".[citation needed] At this point the body "mines" the muscles and vital organs for energy, and loss of bone marrow becomes life-threatening. There are examples of hunger strikers dying after 46 to 73 days of strike.

    Also, Muslims do a very decent calibration during ramadan and get to keep the body adaptable regardless of era or individual medical knowledge.
    There are people who have been on the keto diet for years with only excellent results. Supplementing electrolytes is an absolute must on this diet, especially with sodium and magnesium. A range for fat is also necessary to continue proper hormone functions, and a certain amount of protein intake has to be achieved daily to prevent muscle loss. Weight lifting and HIIT is also recommending for muscle building/maintenance. Some also like to add in the benefits of intermittent fasting later on once ketosis is achieved because hunger cravings become obsolete. I wouldn't compare this diet to a hunger strike.

    Anyways I tried it for 3 weeks and would like to try it again inshallah.
