Best Foods For Healthy Teeth

windsor — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:02:30 +0000

Brushing and flossing every day is essential for good dental care, but did you know that your diet can also make a big difference in the health of your teeth? Here is a quick list of foods that are positive for your enamel and gums, as well as some to avoid.

One of the best foods for your mouth is celery. The stringy vegetable actually contributes to good dental care in a pair of ways. To chew it thoroughly requires you to produce extra saliva, which washes away bacteria. It also helps massage your gums and clean between your teeth.

If you’re looking for a beverage that has positive oral effects, green tea is a great choice. This drink contains chemicals called catechins that naturally kill plaque-causing bacteria in your mouth before they can attach to your teeth.

One interesting thing to note about our ancestors is that they had remarkably healthy, powerful teeth. Doctors attribute this to a diet heavy in seeds, which are great for naturally abrading teeth to clean away other food residue. Sesame seeds are great for this.

And, of course, the absolute best thing you can put in your mouth to prevent tooth decay is lots and lots of water. Water keeps your gums moist, washes away food residue and nasty bacteria, and hydrates you as a bonus.

Five Great Alfred Hitchcock Films

windsor — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:05:41 +0000

Alfred Hitchcock is widely regarded as the master of cinematic suspense, laying the groundwork for generations of filmmakers after him. His movies are complex, psychologically twisted and incredibly gripping. Here are five of his must-sees.

Psycho
Easily the essential Hitchcock film if you can see only one, this thriller basically created the slasher genre as we know it. Anthony Perkins is unbelievable as repressed motel owner Norman Bates, who has a scary secret in his basement.

Vertigo
Jimmy Stewart plays a retired police detective who is hired to shadow a man’s wife. She leads him into a web of betrayal, lies and very high places. Some of Hitchcock’s most distinctive camerawork makes this one a must-see.

North By Northwest
With a little grander a scale than some of Hitchcock’s other films, North by Northwest tells the tale of an advertising executive who is mistaken for a government agent by espionage operatives and chased across the United States. Some epic set pieces.

Rear Window
Hitchcock collaborates with Jimmy Stewart again for this story of obsession and voyeurism where a disabled photographer, confined to a wheelchair, believes that he might have witnessed a murder.

Rope
One of Hitchcock’s most experimental films, Rope was the director’s first work in color. Based on a play by Patrick Hamilton, the film was shot to appear as if it was made in one single take in real time. It’s an amazing technical feat.
