Breath by James Nestor continues to deliver mind blowing scientific facts that need to be told and shared.
If you have crooked teeth, or your child, no matter the your or your child's age, you can grow more bone by stimulating stem cells in the face by simply chewing.
Who thought chewing gum would have such a great use?! ;)
This book has shown me that the health conditions my family and millions of others around the world, the human race, have come about because of our terrible soft western diets.
We are not chewing enough roughage. (Chewy steak or Raw vege anyone?). ;)
This is but one cause of a small mouth cavity....
..which leads onto mouth breathing......which leads onto poor sleep (insomnia), heart problems from poor sleep, respiratory conditions -
all because we have changed our diets, and in a lot of cases were not breastfed and given pureƩ foods.
Besides being a huge breastfeeding advocate, this old-but-new-to-me research shows me how much better baby led weaning is because the baby chomps and sucks food with gums which then sets them up for good mouth muscles, which leads to less mouth breathing which leads to better sleep, less respiratory problems....
And when you think about it, baby led weaning was the way humans would have eaten many many years ago.
And look at how the author of this book grew more bone in his face!!!! š²
