Want to improve your health? Brush you teeth, says Dr. David Ostreicher, an orthodontist and professor of health and nutrition in Remsenburg, N.Y.
In his book, “Brush Your Teeth!” Ostreicher focuses on six fundamentals of good health — hygiene, diet, attitude, exercise, sleep and personal safety. He says common sense steps, such as brushing your teeth and washing your hands, can have a positive impact on overall health.
“Preterm births, colds, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease are responsible for loss of life and expenses of over $700 billion per year in national health care costs,” Ostreicher said. “Fortunately, most of these diseases and the cost associated with them are easily preventable by following inexpensive steps, such as brushing your teeth, washing your hands and cutting down on the foul four: salt, sugar, fat and calories.”
