Bournemouth, Dorset (PRWEB) may 29, 2012

Latest data suggests people are spending less on their health but are at increasing risk from hidden sugars in their diet, warn gum disease experts from Eludril and Elgydium.

Excessive sugar consumption is not only a cause of tooth decay – it can also lead to plaque which harbours the bacteria that cause gum disease.

But people who think they are eating sensibly by cutting out sugar may be in for a nasty surprise. many supposedly ‘healthy’ foods in reality contain hidden sugars.

As a result, the British Dental Health Foundation believes that breakfast is in danger of becoming the unhealthiest meal of the day.

The foundation quotes a report by the UK consumers organisation Which?. It found that 32 of the 50 breakfast cereals tested had a high sugar content. many were popular brands aimed at children.

Many foods and drinks aimed at the health-conscious can be very high in sugar. they include large numbers of low fat or fat-free products.

Also, energy drinks can have a very high sugar content – not good news for people trying to replenish energy expended at the gym or during sport:

•     non-diet fizzy drinks have an average 12 spoonfuls of sugar
•     flavoured vitamin waters – up to 11 spoonfuls of sugar
•     energy drinks – as many as 13 spoonfuls.

Meanwhile, Britons are spending less and less on their health, reveals data from the Office for National Statistics.

Between 2005 and 2010 the average weekly household spend on health declined by 25 cent to just £5 per week.

“It’s effectively a gum disease double-whammy – people are spending less on their health while at the same time being exposed to more and more hidden sugars,” said a spokesperson for the manufacturers of Eludril mouthwash and Elgydium toothpaste.

Latest NHS data also reveal some worrying statistics:

•     at least 80 per cent of the UK population have one or more fillings
•     six per cent of adults have lost all their natural teeth
•     one-fifth of adults have full or partial dentures
•     31 per cent of adults have tooth decay
•     three in 10 adults regularly suffer from dental pain
•     only 10 per cent of people in the UK are classed as having excellent oral health.

It is estimated that 80 per cent of people will display one or more signs of gum disease at some point in their lives. The condition is more likely to affect people aged over 35.

Gum disease (gingivitis) is serious because it can lead to receding gums, putting teeth at risk.

It is important to deal with a receding gum line as early as possible. stopping the condition in its tracks and preventing further damage is much easier than retrospective gum reconstruction.

Early symptoms of gum disease can include sore gums and inflamed or swollen gums. If left untreated, the gum swelling can become quite severe, affecting particularly the papillae, the soft triangular areas of tissue between the teeth.

Other symptoms can include halitosis (bad breath) and bleeding gums, usually a sign that the bacteria have been present for some time.

The recognised gum disease treatment recommended by dentists is chlorhexidine, a powerful and effective antibacterial and antifungal ingredient found in Eludril mouthwash and Elgydium toothpaste.

Eludril Mouthwash is an antibacterial and analgesic solution which can be used to manage a number of oral health problems.

Its main use is to treat and prevent dental plaque formation and gum disease (gingivitis, also known as periodontitis) by preventing the build-up of bacteria.

Eludril Mouthwash can also be used to maintain oral hygiene in situations where tooth brushing is difficult, for instance, following oral surgery or in physically or mentally handicapped patients.

Eludril can also be used as a disinfectant for the cleansing of removable dentures and in the management of common mouth ulcers and oral candidiasis infections (fungus infections).

Elgydium Anti-Plaque toothpaste is specially formulated for sensitive gums and helps to prevent dental plaque and tartar build-up, the major causes of tooth decay and gum disease.

Elgydium Whitening, Sensitive and Decay Protection are also available as part of the Elgydium range of toothpastes.

Or having a good night's sleep?

From my own observations, it seems that I tend to be more focused and pay attention better after eating or doing certain things.

When I don't have a good night sleep I have difficulty hearing what people are saying, it's like my mind blocks them out intentionally for some reason.

If I don't eat right, I become self-absorbed and become less alert to the environment around me (bad for driving!).

If I don't drink an energy drink on a work day I am more prone to passive-aggression and holding grudges against others, and fail to be more openminded and see things from other peoples' point of view. I also have a harder time pleasing customers when I don't have an energy drink to give me the boost.

But is there any scientific reason why this is? am I just off on everything?

You need to join the US Armed Forces. This will get your mind off your problems. you will feel good about yourself, AND you will get to kill people.

well actually no.srry.my advice is not to have sex untill marriage

No eating healthy or drinking energy drinks does not affect ADHD, and I don't see a connection between ADHD and your commentary.

well no cause i have ADHD and energy drinks don't help if you want to reduce you symptoms than you truly need to want to change cause if u go to pills than it could make u depressed like it made me

No. what I found out by my own experience is that sugar actually helps when you get ready for bed- it makes you sleepy-Mountain Dew. I hate it but if I need to go to bed I drink that stuff and it works. Eating healthy and drinking healthy only makes you feel good, it doesn't help much with your genetics.

I believe I can help you some. There are 3 things the body needs: air, water, and nutrients.

Think of it this way… you can go minutes without air, days without water, and weeks without food. So this is the order in which you need to focus on things to start getting more focus, energy, and health.

Start out by breathing correctly. if your stomach does not "push" out when you breathe but sucks in, then you are breathing incorrectly. Most of the alveoli that are in the lower part of the lungs (they transfer oxygen to the blood). Light breathing does not fill this space. you need to breath deep, and imagine filling your lungs from the bottom up (just like you were filling a pitcher with water). After doing a couple of deep breaths like this you may actually feel a little light headed. This is normal as the body adjusts to now having oxygen.

75% of Americans and 90% of the world are chronically dehydrated. Drink approx 3 liters of water a day. if you are thirsty then you are already dehydrated. Drink PLENTY of water. it is vital to the health of your body. Dehydration is one of the major causes of fatigue. Drink drink drink.

Eat right. Do not mix carbs and meats, it can take up to 8+ hours to digest if you eat them together. if you eat meat with veggies it takes about 3-4 hours to digest, if you have carbs with veggies roughly 3 hours to digest, meat and carbs 8 hours. That is why you have the lasting "full" feeling when you eat meat and carbs… the problem is that digestion takes more energy to do than anything else your body does (besides sex). So you are over working your body when you do not eat right. Stay away from milk products to as they coat your stomach and intestines and halt the nutrients from being absorbed.

I think if you breathe right, and drink plenty of water, it will help you concentrate and focus on any task you wish.

Hope this helps you some.
