How to Stop Receding Gums FAST — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00This is how you stop receding gums fast.
2. 0:02If your gums are kind of lifting up
3. 0:03above the teeth, you're experiencing a
4. 0:05subclinical version of what's called
5. 0:07scurvy. That's a vitamin C deficiency.
6. 0:09Vitamin C is essential for holding your
7. 0:11teeth into your jaw bone. So, it makes
8. 0:13the collagen around the teeth very, very
9. 0:15strong. Collagen is dependent on vitamin
10. 0:17C. And when you're deficient in vitamin
11. 0:18C, collagen falls apart. So, even the
12. 0:20tiny blood vessels in the gums start to
13. 0:22fall apart. And this is why bleeding
14. 0:24gums is a classic sign of a vitamin C
15. 0:26deficiency. But, it's not just vitamin
16. 0:28C. It's something else that competes
17. 0:30with vitamin C. There's something else
18. 0:32that mimics the chemistry of vitamin C
19. 0:34that can block vitamin C, not allowing
20. 0:36you to absorb it. Sugar, as in glucose,
21. 0:39has the same cellular receptors as
22. 0:42vitamin C. So, the more sugar you eat,
23. 0:44the less vitamin C you're going to
24. 0:45absorb. This is why sugar is devastating
25. 0:47for your collagen, not just for your
26. 0:49gums, but for your tendons, ligaments,
27. 0:51your skin, and even your colon cells.
28. 0:53Vitamin C helps to keep them from
29. 0:55leaking. Some of the best high vitamin C
30. 0:57foods, bell pepper, raw sauerkraut,
31. 0:59leafy greens, kiwi, and papaya. If
32. 1:02you're going to do a vitamin C
33. 1:03supplement, make sure you do a
34. 1:04food-based vitamin C supplement.
35. 1:06Usually, the vitamin C comes from
36. 1:08acerola berry and berries in general
37. 1:11versus the synthetic version of vitamin
38. 1:12C that's made with corn starch and
39. 1:15sulfuric acid.
