{"product_id":"the-mouth-body-connection","title":"The Mouth-Body Connection","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe mouth acts as mirror and a gateway to the body.  Not only is oral health an early warning system but it is also an agent provocateur.  In its role as a mirror the mouth reflects what is happening systemically.  Many conditions including leukemia ulcerative colitis and diabetes can manifest in the mouth before a person experiences other symptoms.  Current research has found that the health of the mouth appears to have a profound impact on the rest of the body.  Even low-grade gum disease has been associated with serious systemic problems including   cardiovascular disease.  Chronic  oral disease which may persist undetected for years is a major source of low-grade inflammation in the entire body.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom hijacking the immune system to health-destroying inflammation an unbalanced oral microbiome can affect the mouth and overall health.  One of Dr. Curatola's groundbreaking themes is that anti-microbial toothpastes and mouthwashes cause an ecological catastrophe in the mouth.   Oral care that \"kills germs on contact\" popularized in the '70s renders the oral microbiome ineffective in its protective role and creates a climate in the mouth in which pathogens thrive and move on to affect other parts of the body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eTHE MOUTH-BODY CONNECTION \u003c\/b\u003eDr. Curatola presents his three-stage program-Rethink Restore Renew-- for fostering a healthy oral microbiome and bringing the body into balance by means of diet supplements exercise and stress reduction.  The program is designed to help change habits that undermine health and to replace them with a way of life that keeps microbial communities balanced to support well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44788863140019,"sku":"9781455569199","price":1639.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478019089781455569199.jpg?v=1762835168","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-mouth-body-connection","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
