访谈录 Interview 2007-07-26&07-27, 吃出闪亮微笑
英语课
All smiles this beautiful Monday morning. This morning on Today's Health: how to achieve that glowing smile by changing just a few everyday habits. Liz Vaccariello, the editor in chief in Prevention Magazine and she is here to fill us in on some of the surprising effects some foods have on your smile.
Good morning. Thanks for being with us today.
Good morning.
So help us out, the first things first, to achieve that beautiful smile it's all about daily hygiene 1, oral hygiene, dental hygiene. (Right!) Help us out with what we need to know.
There's four things you should do, you should brush twice a day, floss once a day; avoid sugary snacks and see your dentists regularly, he or she will tell you how often that is, but for most of us, that's twice a year.
It's the flossing that holds a lot of people up. They forget to do it on the daily basis.
Yeah, yeah.
There're some alternative approaches as well that you're gonna help us out. We've been joking about the power of cheese, but from what I've read it's pretty significant.
Right, a new excuse to eat cheese. Right? If you have a big meal, a gooey meal, a meal rich in carbohydrates 2 in particular, researchers say a piece of cheese will boost saliva 3, will wash away the acids in the mouth. And the minerals in cheese any kind will help strengthen the tooth from inside out.
Important to know any kind, not just cheddar, (not just cheddar.) any of these cheeses will work. (Right!) For breast-breed we're not recommending. You have lots of news for other people as well.
Right.
Drinking out of a straw. Another piece of advice. We've chosen environmentally-friendly straws on these days.
Right! That's right. All of us want a big Julia Roberts' megawatt smile. People who are concerned about tooth-staining in particular use straws to limit the amount of time that the liquid that has a strong pigment 4 is exposed to the tooth. But people don't know that often sugary drinks, sodas 5, even sugar-free sodas have acids that can cause harms to the enamel 6.
And coffee is well for coffee drinkers in the morning. Is that something you recommend through straws?
Absolutely. If you care about oral health and staining in particular.
Perhaps red wine is not gonna look as good through a straw, but it could probably work for you as well. (Not, not sophisticated. That's right.)
Vitamin C is this we walk away through with the orange juices in the morning. It's good for boosting immune systems.
Right, well, a lot of pe(ople)... researchers studied this and found that people who got less than 60 milligrams a day of vitamin C had a 25% higher chance of getting gum disease. So you should go for a minimum of 75 milligrams of C a day, upward limit of 2000 milligrams. So, one orange contains about 80 milligrams. You may want a supplement.
Yeah, supplements are gonna help you out here as well. So, move along, you're gonna talk to us a little bit about calcium 7, right? Obviously, well, how many is a day? 800 milligrams you're recommending? What is that, that equation?
800 kilograms, exactly calcium, 99% of the calcium in our bodies is in our bones and our teeth. And if you don't get enough everyday, 1000 milligrams a day is what you should for, it can cause severe gum disease.
Ok, severe gum disease. And as we look at the soymilk, a lot of people who become more and more interested in soymilk and a lot of the health food stores. Is that the same as regular milk in terms of its benefits to you, lizzie?
Yeah, you should check the label for the amount of calcium. A woman or a man under 50 should get about 1000MG. 1200 to 1500 if you're over postmenopausal.
Okay. There's a lot of concern coz of course you have the yogurts, this got a lot of sugar, this also got you calcium and other things could benefit body in the morning.
That's right. Yeah, there's a lot of power to dairy products when it comes to the mouth.
Speaking of power, the power of tea is critical. Help me out understanding the power of tea.
Well, both green and black teas contain compounds that prevent plaque 8 from forming. They also contain compounds that prevent bad breath because they address the bacteria.
Tea's good for bad breath.
Yes, it is. And in fact tea, both the leaves and the water that had steeped in contain fluoride so that as we all know enhances the tooth enamel.
Ok. So you got your cheese, you got your drinks, you got your tea, you're gonna be running to the bathroom for you've kept (Right!) drinking all these things in the course of a given day. But as we go over, as you set this out for us as well, the cranberries 9 and the mushrooms. I think this is the ultimate and alternative approaches. Help me out. Coz cranberries I think the presumption 10 is those are gonna stain teeth.
Well, right, but cranberries, pomegranate and Shitaki mushrooms all contain compounds that address and eliminate the bacteria in your mouth which prevent cavities. You should also take a look at also the sugar-free gums that contain something called xylitol, which numerous studies have shown prevents cavities from forming. And then also if you wanna crunch 11 on celery or carrotsticks in particular, (this is fresh? looks good) just crunch away. That abrasive 12 process can help remove food particles from the teeth.
Yes, it's good stuff. Excuse-me I was gonna keep crunching 13, I wasn't gonna finish that sentence so I'll pop that aside for saying that. And your personal habits are? I mean what do you do for yourself. What do you recommend on a day-to-day basis for yourself?
I brush after every meal and every snack. I drink a lot of tea, anyone will tell you I have a van tea a wake tea from Starbucks for it's always at my side, no straw, no straw though, coz I put milk in it, that addresses the tooth staining so. (Get all done in one!) And I crunch on some carrotsticks between meetings.
Let's see that smile. There it is... It's not Julia Robert's but it's close.
Ah, it's still.
I'd, I'd tried.
Liz Vaccariello, thank you. We appreciate your time today. Thanks for joining us.
