World Bicycle Day is marked on June 3. This day is observed to draw people’s attention towards the importance and benefits of riding a bicycle. It is a well-known fact that riding a bicycle is not only good for one’s health but is also good for the environment as it is a zero pollution mode of transportation.
Did you know?
WHAT’S GOOD FOR GENERAL HEALTH IS GOOD FOR TEETH AND GUMS TOO!
Physical exercise affects our muscles, heart, lungs and teeth and gums.
When you are going to work out, don’t forget that your mouth is also connected to your body for the all around benefits of regular exercise.
INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO REDUCE PERIODONTITIS
A study by the Journal of Dentistry concluded that an increase in physical activity most definitely adds to better oral health conditions and a lower risk of periodontal disease.
It showed that “never-smokers” who worked out regularly were 54% less likely to develop gum disease. Former smokers who increased physical activity reduced their risk by 74%.
Obesity also factors into the equation, as found in a paper published by the Journal of Periodontology, showing that people who had lower BMI (body mass index) were more likely to have a lower risk of periodontal disease.
Its said that HEALTH ENHANCING BEHAVIOR BENEFITS YOUR TEETH AND GUMS
Health enhancing behavior is a combination of physical fitness and good oral health behavior.
So in addition to your regular routine of exercise, include regular dental checkups.
But it has to remembered that Despite the health benefits of cycling, we have to consider the fact that Half of Professional Cyclists Have Tooth Decay Despite Brushing Twice Daily!
New research shows that athletes across a variety of sports very commonly suffer from poor oral health. We might think that it’s because they are too busy training and don’t brush their teeth properly. The thing is, the same research also shows that these athletes have cavities despite brushing twice a day!
49,1 % had untreated tooth decay
The research team saw that 49.1 % of the surveyed athletes had untreated tooth decay, the large majority showed early signs of gum inflammation, and 32 % reported that their oral health had a negative impact on their training and performance. It's also pathetic to know that athletes had these tooth decay dispite the fact followed good oral hygiene habits!
94 % brushed their teeth at least twice a day
This study found that 94 % of surveyed athletes brushed their teeth at least twice a day, and 44 % regularly flossed.
High consumption of sugary drinks, energy bars were the Problem!
The researchers found that 87 % of the surveyed athletes regularly use sports drinks, 59 % ate energy bars which are all reason known to damage teeth.
Thus majority of the athletes in the survey though had good oral health-related habits in as much as they brush their teeth twice a day, visit the dentist regularly, don’t smoke and have a healthy general diet. However, they use sports drinks, energy bars frequently during training and competition; the sugar in these products increases the risk of tooth decay and the acidity of them increases the risk of erosion. This could be contributing to the high levels of tooth decay and acid erosion found during the dental check-ups!
What should you do
Brush Twice a day for two minutes, use mouthwash, have dental visit once in 6 month and reduce intake of sports drinks, to improve oral health.”
