Treats That Are Surprisingly Good For Your Health


Posted on 12/19/2022 by SRD Tuscumbia
Treats That Are Surprisingly Good For Your HealthYou may be shocked to learn that there are three dietary vices that contain cavity-fighting properties and are beneficial to your dental health. Coffee, chocolate, and red wine are three vices that we all adore.

Dark Chocolate


 Flavonoids, polyphenols, and tannins are antioxidants found in cocoa beans, which are used to produce chocolate. Tannins are responsible for the delicious yet bitter flavor of dark chocolate, and they also have characteristics that help prevent germs from adhering to your teeth. Polyphenols have antibacterial qualities, which means they aid in the reduction of microorganisms in your mouth. Bacteria in the mouth are responsible for foul breath and gum disease. If you're going to buy some dark chocolate, go for 70 percent cacao or greater.

Red Wine


Tannins and other antioxidants are found in red wine, as well as dark chocolate prevent the growth of bacteria and oral biofilms, which form plaque. The same study discovered that grape seed extract had comparable antibacterial effects.

Black Coffee


The trifecta has been completed.  Black coffee may also have antibacterial qualities. The study made use of infant teeth provided to the institution. Bacteria and other substances are known to generate biofilms and plaque-causing factors were introduced into the teeth. The study discovered that an extract called Coffea canephora, which is contained in around 30% of the world's coffee, aided in the breakdown of biofilms. Tannins, which are antioxidants found in both red wine and coffee, are also present in coffee. The Robusta bean is frequently seen in darker, more robust roasts. The trick is to avoid using cream or sugar in your coffee since both will negate the potential advantages of the coffee beans.
