The DIY toothpaste that PROTECTS MEMORY

Daily brushing does more than safeguard your smile – it keeps your mind sharp too. Researchers say P. gingivalis the bacteria that causes gum disease, produces a protein linked to memory loss and brain-cell damage, and it’s been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. To keep memory-hampering bacteria at bay, try this pennies-a-day DIY antibacterial toothpaste: Mix a small amount of 3% hydrogen peroxide into 2 Tbs. of baking soda until it forms a thin paste. Then use a toothbrush to massage the paste into the gums and gumline; rinse well.
