Acid is the cause of all the damage done to teeth. Acid may come from acidic food and drink or produced from sugar by oral bacteria. This acid acts on the enamel on teeth and causes decay. Therefore, it is important to consume food and liquids that will suppress the affect of tooth-harming acids, provide minerals and vitamins that will maintain healthy teeth and stimulate the flow of saliva.

Diabetes and Hispanic Heritage Month

Diabetes, a serious problem

Everybody is prone to suffer from diabetes. Diabetes affects the Hispanic/Latino community especially hard. According to American Diabetes Association (ADA), diabetes affects nearly 1 in 2 Hispanics/Latinos. More than 11% of Hispanics in the U.S. have been diagnosed with diabetes—and many more don't know they have it. This is an urgent health problem in the community.

Today begins Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15) and the ADA is working to increase diabetes awareness among Hispanics.

The American Diabetes Association is teaming up with Nordstrom this month to Stop Diabetes® in its tracks. From now through October 15, Nordstrom will donate $5, up to $75,000, for every Diabetes Risk Test taken. These funds will support Ferias de Salud Por Tu Familia, part of the Association’s diabetes prevention and education programs.

A few tips for staying fit and diabetes free

Make fitness a fun family affair

Mike Adams, the Natural News, used to be borderline diabetic and suffered from hypoglycemia and borderline obesity at the same time. But he was able to cure his own pre-diabetes condition by ignoring a lot of conventional information and by teaching himself the principles of nutrition.

Now, at age 41, Mike is healthy and athletic, lifts weights, swims, bicycles and exercises on a regular basis while carefully choosing foods that will prevent diabetes for a lifetime.

Here are his top five secrets for preventing (and even reversing) diabetes:

1) Stop eating all refined sugars
Such as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), (especially soda), or other refined sugars.

2) Ingest large quantities of daily superfoods
Such as spirulina, stabilized rice bran, chlorella and high-density superfood powders such as Boku Superfood and Living Fuel.

3) Exercise a little bit every day
Even just walking 30 minutes a day can have a huge impact. The key is to make it a daily activity.

4) Get sunshine or vitamin D supplemen

5) Avoid all processed foods.
Avoid eating refined anything. That includes white breads, processed meat  and dairy products.

According to Mike, with these five things, you can  reverse diabetes yourself. Diabetes is not a difficult disease to prevent or reverse because it is merely the biological effect of following certain lifestyle (bad foods, no exercise) that can be reversed and prevented in virtually anyone.
