Easiest way to live a longer life, revealed by Danbury, CT dentist Jay M. Marks, DMD

We all know that we can increase our life spans by running 3 or miles every day, or eating only fruits & veggies, or not drinking (to much) alcohol, or not eating anything with sugar, or lifting weights, or eating fish (not farm raised fish) at least 3 times a week, or sleeping 8-10 hours every day, or becoming skinny etc. etc. etc.   However, Dr. Marks reveals that there is one PAINLESS way to accomplish the same result, with much less effort and cost!            CONTINUE -->

The answer is simply to use dental floss daily!  This simple task can add six years to your life!  This fact certainly falls into the “strange but true” category.  Flossing helps prevent your gums from getting inflamed (gingivitis).  When your gums are inflamed, bacteria are causing a chronic infection in your gum tissue.  These germs travel to the arteries and stick to the inside of them. These adhesions are called arterial plaque.  The body uses your immune system to fight this condition.  It causes an inflammation, which narrows the arteries.  Your heart has to pump harder to get the blood flowing throughout your body, and this causes heart disease.

So a tiny piece of string can prevent cavities, prevent gingivitis, and let your heart pump for more years (approximately 6 years longer)! - explains Dr. Marks.
