Running: A FEVER
The dental area is not a stand-alone system. It interacts with the other systems in the body. Dental problems are so closely tied to disorders in other parts of the body that sometimes your dentist may be the first to notice the problem because dental conditions can lead to other diseases in the body.

RAF377: Dental Health Part 8 - Action - Planning
Running: A FEVER
Hopefully you can see that this series aligns with my philosophy of becoming an expert at your own health. You'll need to tap into that philosophy to build your health plan. Some of the answers you'll know from experience. For example, you have dry mouth or take some medications that can cause it. However, you may have to talk with your dentist or hygienist about the many other risk factors you could have. You can use this series as a guide. Go back and listen to (or read the blog posts of) the other episodes in the series. Make a list of the problems that could apply to you. Ask your dentist...

RAF376: Dental Health Part 7 - Action - Protection
Running: A FEVER
This is episode 7 in our 10-part series on dental health. We've already talked about dry mouth, diet, biofilm, genetics, and pH. The objective is not to preach about sweets, brushing, and flossing but to find the causes of dental health problems, understanding that many of these problems are not our fault at all and may be completely out of our control, like genetics and dry mouth. With this newfound knowledge, we'll have a better idea of what actions to take to improve. Read the full post at Photo by Kamal Hoseinianzade:

RAF372: Dental Health Part 3 - Diet
Running: A FEVER
This episode will be focused on diet. How does our diet affect our teeth and mouth positively and/or negatively? What can we do to improve this aspect of our health by eating differently? And what foods exactly are good and bad for us when it comes to the dental area? I hope to answer these questions and more in this episode. And if you have a question that I don't answer today, one of the best ways to ask it is to do so in a comment to this video. Just scroll down and start typing. I'll be notified of the comment and I will attempt to answer either in reply to your comment, or in a future...

info_outlineI'm warming up, and Frankenstein (my cat) is very interested because she hasn't seen me do this indoors for a while. Warmups are important, and with as many injuries I've had, I take this seriously. Even on an indoor bike or stationary bike, I know I can get injured because I had an Achilles tendon injury. I've had three somewhat serious Achilles injuries. One was a complete rupture that didn't even happen during exercise. These are bad not just because of the pain and inconvenience but because they keep me away from exercise for long periods of time.
