Summary
Could the key to healthy teeth and gums be the spinach in your refrigerator? Dental health and produce aren't usually mentioned in the same breath, but a recent study shows perhaps they should.
Dr. Hana Kahleova joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss the research showing how vegetables can help keep harmful bacteria from damaging your smile. Indeed, leafy greens may be the new Listerine.
Plus, Dr. Jasmol Sardana brings her mental floss on a special edition of The Doctor's Mailbag where she answers your health and nutrition questions!
- Can a vegan diet help improve acne?
- Is avocado or plant-based butter the healthier option on toast?
- How can you speed up weight loss on a plant-based diet?
- How healthy are kombucha and fermented foods?
- And many more!
