OIL PULLING & IT'S BENEFITS:

 


OIL PULLING & IT'S BENEFITS:

🌸Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic technique used to maintain oral health. It's the practice of swishing oils around your mouth to decrease plaque and whitening teeth.

🌷Process: Take a tsp of coconut oil or any natural oil and pull and push the oil in-between your teeth.

🌻By swishing oil 10-15 min in a day, you start your morning by moisturising your gums, increasing saliva production which reduces bacteria production from the night before. Then you spit it out.

🌺Long term use of it can reduce inflammation, increase dental hygiene and give whiter teeth.

🌼Oil pulling with sesame oil led to a slight decrease in plaque formation by preventing bacterial adhesion to the teeth and gums.

🥥 Coconut oil contains lauric acid that is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. Using this oil has shown a slight decrease in plaque formation and gingivitis.

❗️Even though there are some promising studies, oil pulling is in no way a substitute for regular oral hygiene.

  The choices you make every day in terms of your food define your future. A lot of lifestyle disorders like diabetes, Thyroid, BP, PCOD, and PCOS are caused due to wrong eating habits and no workouts.

So you still have options to eat what you currently eating or make changes to switch to better nutritional intake. It can't be more simple, isn't it? So what say?

  HOW TO DRINK MORE WATER I drink around 4-5 litres of water every day in summers while completing even 4 litres during monsoon and winters becomes a common challenge. So here are some tips on how I complete my water intake. 1. I fill 4 bottles of water every 1 litre and time myself to finish it every 4 hrs. I wake up at 5 so my first bottle has to be complete before 8 as I do my workouts early morning The second bottle to finish by 12 pm being the busiest part of my day. The third bottle I time to finish before 4.  Finally the last bottle before 7 pm. After that, anything I drink is a bonus. 2. I always sip and drink water never gulp it at one go. 3.

I am very much confident all those who commented about waking up 30 min before must already be nailing it into their everyday routine. Let's discuss some tips on how to wake up early to embrace the benefits of Brahma Muhurta. Trust me I have been struggling through the same until I started making small changes which helped me to align myself to waking up at 5 am. Some tips are: Start sleeping early.
