    You are similar to me.

Its hard to meet people when your like this and to be able to smile its like feeding a fire.

    Hello Jennifer, I normaly never comment on videos as I watch mostly to educate myself, not to interact with others. But I wanted to say that I think your approach to ageing, to skincare, to exercise, your diet and life is very honest and fantastic. I love seeing someone that provides facts as the current sience sees it, and also practice what they preach and has proof that the pudding is good. Thank you Jennifer for your thoughtful videos, you help me make decisons I think has been great for myself -I use more wide brim hats in the summer, sunsceen every day, tret or differin at night, silk bonnet when I sleep for my hair, azeliac acid morning and night, foot cream with urea, vaselin around my eyes at night, coconut oil before I wash my hair etc. I feel like these are low effort-high rewarding habits.
    Question retarging this video- do you think a water pik would be a good alrernative to flossing?

    I follow Dr. Ellie’s mouth care system. Bad breath, even in the morning rarely exists unless I am a bit dehydrated. Dr. Ellie worked with dentists in Germany that got to the bottom of gum disease and cavity prevention and sometimes reversal. She will go against some of the “research” but has the studies to back things up. She also believes in Xylitol and sells her own.

Be sure to time the rinses like she says. Going too long can be an issue. The toothbrushes are pricey, but worth it. I love the new diet, but I fast a lot and only do one great meal a day usually.

    You should try a xylitol-based chewing gum; preferably the most natural one without other ingredients 🌸
    Personally, I eat a lot of acidic foods with each meal -kimchi, for instance!-, and drink coffee a few times a day. As I don't believe in brushing more than twice, I chew xylitol gum or add some of it in powder form to green tea & sip on that between meals. Apparently it neutralizes bad bacteria and is generally quite good for the oral microbiome. Also very convenient for when you're outdoors and can't brush until later...
