Address the Stress
High stress will decrease your ability to fight infections and absorb nutrients effectively. You may also notice that your allergies are worse in times of stress. Stress which causes high cortisol levels will ultimately lead to adrenal fatigue, which in turn could eventually lead to cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease, degenerative diseases, periodontal disease and accelerated aging. The cause of fatigue can simply be stress of daily living, injuries, surgeries, lack of nutrition, lack of rest, pregnancies, etc.
The adrenal glands basically regulate everything, so you must make an effort every day to support their health. You must make these habits a priority of life: sleep, exercise, decreased and controlled stress; support yourself with proper supplements; remove inflammatory foods and remove habits like smoking andexcessive alcohol. A proactive and preventive approach to your own mental, physical and dental health will increase your overall health and well-being.
The window to your health - your mouth - will show us subtle signs of stress. Rolled and inflammed gums, dry mouth, chipped and worn down teeth, recent unexplained cavities and infections can all be symptoms of stress in the oral cavity. Why should you care?
