Challenge: The Health Benefits of Antioxidants
At Advanced Dentistry by Design we are excited to say that we are taking a health challenge; we are setting out to increase our antioxidant levels.
The health benefits of antioxidants are important on many levels for our bodies. As we go through this challenge will be discussing what antioxidants are, how they work, and why they are important for normal cellular function and overall health. Antioxidants even have effects on our oral health—specifically when talking about periodontal disease. We know more now than we did 3+ years ago, and the information is EXCITING! We are committed to always learning more and staying current with the most recent research, materials, and technology to better serve our patients.
Our smiles reflect who we are and how we feel. We believe that health goes deeper than what shows on the outside. We believe that each individual can have a healthy smile for life. The way a healthy smile can last is through knowledge, the right skills, and commitment.
Our team at Advanced Dentistry by Design recently had the opportunity to have our antioxidant levels scanned, thanks to Kame Masterson with S3 Pharmanex Scanner. The results were astonishing! Several team members were very low, a few on the higher end. What this meant to us was that there is room for improvement in our nutritional choices. We have decided as a team to try various ways of getting more antioxidants in our diet, and we will be re-scanned at the end of a 60 day challenge. We will share our oral and overall health results with you here.
Stay-tuned for upcoming information and updates on our antioxidant progress and challenge!
