There are several dental problems<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Research shows that 45% of the world’s population struggles with dental problems<\/strong>, especially when it comes to cavities and gum disease.<\/p>\n

\"\" That percentage rises to 98% if you count receding gums, teeth grinding, lengthening teeth, severe wear on root necks and sensitive dental necks as dental problems as well, which is what most dentists do.<\/p>\n

Deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 may be at the root of all these problems.<\/p>\n

Why calcium needed?<\/h3>\n

\"\"One of the main reasons why the body needs calcium is because of its role in mitochondrial function.<\/p>\n

Mitochondria are like the power plants of our cells and take care of all energy production in the body.<\/p>\n

If the mitochondria do not generate enough energy it has far-reaching consequences on almost all functions of the body.<\/p>\n

To generate energy, mitochondria need fats, proteins and carbohydrates.<\/p>\n

In addition, minerals, enzymes and vitamins also play an important role.<\/p>\n

In particular, calcium is crucial for mitochondria to generate energy.<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with our teeth?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Because of the important function of mitochondria, the body’s first task is to make sure they function properly.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the body will do everything it can to prevent calcium deficiency in the mitochondria.<\/p>\n

\"\"It even sacrifices other tissues for it.<\/p>\n

If we do not get enough calcium, the body will eliminate this mineral from our bones and teeth.<\/p>\n

This process is initiated when there is a deficiency of calcium or when a deficiency of vitamin D3 stagnates calcium absorption.<\/p>\n

A lack of vitamin K2, which ensures that calcium gets to the right place in the body, may also be a cause of this.<\/p>\n

To supply the mitochondria with energy, the minerals are first extracted from the teeth and bone around the teeth.<\/p>\n

Warning signals<\/h3>\n

It’s not that we don’t notice calcium and magnesium deficiencies in our bodies.<\/p>\n

      • There is a laundry list of symptoms that may indicate calcium and magnesium deficiency and impaired mitochondrial function:
        \ngrowth retardation<\/li>\n
      • muscle weakness, muscle pain, weak muscle tone, movement restriction<\/li>\n
      • chronic fatigue, exhaustion, burnout<\/li>\n
      • vision and hearing problems<\/li>\n
      • learning disabilities<\/li>\n
      • physical and mental retardation<\/li>\n
      • autism symptoms<\/li>\n
      • heart, liver and kidney diseases<\/li>\n
      • gastrointestinal problems, such as swallowing, diarrhea or constipation, sudden vomiting, cramps, acid flowing back from the stomach into the esophagus
        \ndiabetes<\/li>\n
      • increased risk of infection<\/li>\n
      • neurological problems, migraines, dementia<\/li>\n
      • movement disorders<\/li>\n
      • thyroid problems<\/li>\n
      • respiratory problems<\/li>\n
      • acidification by lactic acidThese kinds of symptoms are warnings from our bodies that we should not ignore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        How to prevent?<\/h3>\n

        \"\"Of course, the body normally gets the calcium it needs mainly from our diet.<\/p>\n

        Vegetables and foods made from bones (such as broth) are especially high in calcium.<\/p>\n

        The calcium from vegetables and broth, if the stomach and intestines are functioning properly and sufficient vitamin D3 is present, is rather easily absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n

        To avoid problems with our teeth, we should eat lots of different kinds of vegetables.<\/p>\n

        Unfortunately, current farming methods mean that there are far fewer minerals in the admittedly beautiful-looking vegetables than there used to be.<\/p>\n

        Another reason why relatively large quantities and diversity are important.
        \nDepending on your own situation, it may be important to supplement calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 with supplements.<\/p>\n

        In doing so, it is important to take supplements in which the ratio of calcium:magnesium is 2:1 and includes apple cider vinegar for optimal absorption of calcium.<\/p>\n
