Let's think about "anti-aging" from the viewpoint of oral health
SUMMARY
- ・Mouth care leads to anti-aging
- ・ “Vessels” are more important than youthful appearance
- ・Vitamin C for oral health
Lypo-C will hold walking events in 5 cities nationwide to commemorate "Vitamin C Day" on April 4th!
At the venue in Fukuoka, a doctor gave a wellness talk show.
This time, from the talk show, we will deliver "Whole body health from oral care" by Dr. Tomoeda, a dentist.
Dr. Tomoeda talks about oral care, which may lead to the prevention of tooth decay and periodontal disease, but it actually leads to anti-aging and overall health of the body. It's a must-see!

Oral care leads to anti-aging
─The image of dentists is that they only treat teeth, but you also incorporate the perspectives of anti-aging and nutritional science into your treatment. What is the reason?
I'm a dentist, so my main focus is dental treatment such as removing cavities and removing tartar.
However, what I realized during the treatment was that "everything in the body is made of what you eat."
Of particular importance is nutrition.
Ordinarily, dentists only tell you about things related to the oral cavity, such as tooth brushing instructions, for oral care.
However, if the patient eats ramen every day or eats only bento from convenience stores, is it possible to cure the fundamental problems of the gums and the oral cavity simply by instructing them to brush their teeth? and.
If the food you eat is bad, not only will your teeth become bad, but you will also get sick. I realized that and decided to study other than dentistry.
─ So, it is important to take care of your health to the next level, not just taking care of your teeth. Please also tell me about the “anti-aging” you are talking about.
When we hear the word “anti-aging,” we think of beauty, but it is actually more than just that.
If you replace anti-aging with kanji, it will be written as anti-aging (anti-aging).
Modern people may live to be 100 years old, so they need to build their own bodies for healthy longevity. That's what I think about anti-aging.
"Aging" happens equally to everyone.
The skin starts around the age of 18, and the brain starts around the age of 27. Aging begins little by little, and the number of cells decreases.
Everyone ages, but even if you are the same age, there is a big difference depending on whether you are living a healthy life or not.
For example, even if twins are healthy or unhealthy, even if they look the same when they are young, their faces change completely as they age. The depth of wrinkles, the texture of the skin, etc. will be greatly reflected in the appearance.
Things that are bad for your health include cigarettes, alcohol, processed foods, sugar, excessive stress, and environmental pollution (exhaust gas, etc.).
Taking “smoking” as an example, as you know, the lungs of smokers and non-smokers become black, but it also worsens the gums and greatly increases the risk of periodontal disease, so be careful.
Bad lifestyle habits appear in all of the body, such as teeth, skin, and internal organs.
Blood vessels are more important than looking young
It is said that "a person ages from the blood vessels", and the point is whether the blood vessels are young rather than looking young.
Normal blood vessels|The blood vessels are soft and the blood flows smoothly.
Bad blood vessels|The blood vessels are hard and the blood is muddy.
The reason why periodontal disease is bad for the body is that bacteria and toxins in the mouth enter the blood vessels from the gums, making the blood muddy.
There are three causes of aging: "oxidation, saccharification, and inflammation", and periodontal disease (= periodontitis) falls under this "inflammation".
The spread of inflammatory substances from the gums to the whole body increases the probability of diabetes, cancer, and dementia.
We believe that good oral health contributes to overall health, so we encourage you to have regular dental check-ups.
Vitamin C for oral health
─Please also tell us about vitamin C from the perspective of oral health.
We all know that vitamin C is good for your body, but it's also good for your mouth.
There are several reasons, but first of all, vitamin C is good for dental health, so it leads to care.
Your gums are made of collagen, just like your skin.
In addition to protein, vitamin C and iron are required to make collagen. Vitamin C plays a very important role in this regard.
After all, it is better to take vitamin C as oral care.
─You are also a qualified supplement advisor, but what is the appeal of the liposomes used in Lypo-C from your point of view?
Teacher: Vitamin C is a very important nutrient, but it had the drawback of being water soluble and quickly flowing out of the body.
If it is liposomal vitamin C, it can be delivered to every corner of the body. I think that's the biggest advantage.
I have known the importance of vitamin C for a long time, so now I take Lypo-C every day.
─Thank you. Please tell me how to take your Lypo-C.
I usually drink directly.
Water is essential when taking other supplements, but Lypo-C can be taken quickly without water. As a busy person like me, I love how easy it is.
And as I mentioned earlier, vitamin C is also important for oral health.
When I take Lypo-C, I try to swirl it in my mouth before swallowing.
─This time, the theme of Lypo-C event is “Meguri”. What do you think is important for a teacher to have a good “tour”?
What does it mean to “balance the mind and body”?
For example, take a break from work and take it easy. Then you can see the scenery around you, and you will notice the trivial things in your daily life, such as how beautiful the flowers are.
In a relaxed mood, look back and refresh your mind and body.
Furthermore, I want to always have the feeling that I, the city, and the earth are "going around" together.
