2 Skip the Cereal for Breakfast The Environment Working Group recently released a report on breakfast cereals Cereal marketed to children contained 40% more sugar than adult cereal All children s cereals contained added sugar Most contained 30% of a child s total sugar intake for the day Several brands were more than 50% sugar (by weight) including Kellogg s Honey Smacks

3 Eggs The Perfect Breakfast Food Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods on the planet Eggs DO NOT increase cholesterol levels In 70% of people, egg consumption had NO effect on cholesterol, in 30% of people there was a very small increase in total cholesterol. In one study, two eggs daily for 6 weeks increased HDL cholesterol by 10%! More importantly, egg consumption has been shown to change dangerous small, dense LDL cholesterol particles to the large, fluffy and not dangerous form In one study of 30 overweight women, eating eggs instead of bagels for breakfast increased feelings of fullness and made them automatically eat fewer calories for the next 36 hours In another study, replacing a bagel breakfast with an egg breakfast caused significant weight loss over a period of 8 weeks An egg contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, plus 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats, and lutein, choline and zeaxanthin

11 Brush Your Teeth Prevent a Heart Attack

12 Can a diseased mouth cause a heart attack? Research says YES There are over 700 million types of bacteria in the human mouth If you develop gingivitis (swollen gums) which start to bleed, this is like opening a door for bacteria, which can now get into your bloodstream and travel throughout your body The bacteria hide from the immune system on platelets, and can cause platelets to stick together A clump of platelets can block the blood vessels leading to a heart attack or stroke

13 Keep Your Mouth Healthy, Prevent a Heart Attack Concentrated plant oils - cinnamon, thyme, clove, oregano Directly kill harmful bacteria in the mouth and keep them out of the bloodstream Grape Seed Extract Stops the production of dangerous forms of nitric oxide by invading bacteria Keeps platelets from sticking together and causing a blocked blood vessel Strengthens gum tissue to prevent bacteria from having a doorway to the bloodstream
