Whiten your Teeth!

Whitening your teeth has become a fashion statement that seems to be here to stay. We all see the beautiful white smiles celebrities have, and we want the same bright smile too. You may have a healthy shade of white teeth, but compared to your friends and co-workers with bleached teeth, your teeth might just look yellow -but only in comparison.

Cause of Discolored Teeth

Simply put, colored molecules found in some foods and drinks can get absorbed in your tooth’s enamel surface. This causes your teeth to become less white with time. If you want a brighter smile, you may want to avoid red wine, coffee, tea, cigarettes, mustard, and even blueberries.

Problem with Professional Teeth Whitening

Most, if not all Teeth whitenings contain hydrogen peroxide. This is a harmful chemical that can destroy your gums and nerves and will make your teeth very sensitive.

Natural Solution to Whiten your Teeth

Here is a little homemade remedy that will brighten your smile:

1 Strawberry

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

Step 1) Crush Strawberry and then mix in the Baking Soda.

Step 2) Spread Strawberry mixture onto your teeth and leave on for about 5 minutes.

Step 3) Brush and floss your teeth to clean out the Strawberry mixture.

Note: You can do this natural whitening to your teeth about once a week. You don’t want to overdo it, since the acid from the strawberry can start to damage the enamel on your teeth. Use in moderation, and enjoy your whiter teeth!

Salmon Almond Crunch

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Mustard

3 tablespoons melted Coconut oil

5 teaspoons Raw Honey

1 slice Ezekiel bread crumbs

1/2 cup Almond slices

2 teaspoons dried (or fresh) Rosemary

2-4 Salmon fillets

Instructions:

Step 1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease baking pan.

Step 2) In a bowl, combine the mustard, melted coconut oil, and honey

Step 3) Place fillets on baking pan.  Spoon on the mustard mixture to each fillet, then top with bread crumbs, sliced almonds, and rosemary.

Step 4) Bake for 20 minutes (or 10 minutes for each inch of thickness, measuring thickest part of the fillet). Salmon should flake when done.

Notes:

Salmon is a perfect  healthy dinner for you and the family. I always try to season my meats in a healthy way, and that’s why I chose Coconut oil (rather than another oil such as vegetable oil), Ezekiel bread crumbs, almond slices, and rosemary.

This is one of my husband’s favorite dishes…I hope you enjoy it as much as he does!
