As more and more people are looking for a healthier lifestyle, the fruitarian diet has gained popularity. But, many people are skeptical of this diet, and one of the biggest concerns is its effect on teeth. In this article, we’ll explore the impact of a raw vegan fruitarian diet on human teeth and provide some useful tips for healthy teeth.
The Myths about Fruitarian Diet and Teeth
The idea that fruitarian diets cause dental problems is a myth that needs to be debunked. Cooked food is responsible for the majority of dental problems, not fruits. The myth may have originated from people who already had dental problems before transitioning to the fruitarian diet. It is also possible that people were eating too much fat, nuts and seeds, avocados, dried fruit, unripe fruit, and/or going back and forth to cooked foods.
Experiences of a Fruitarian Diet on Teeth Fruitarians have reported that they do not have dental problems, and that their teeth and gums have become stronger since they switched to this diet. They do not have any film or plaque on their teeth, and they do not have toothaches, plaque, stains, or lost feelings due to the avoidance of sticky foods. In fact, many fruitarians do not visit the dentist often because they do not need to.
14 Tips for Healthy Teeth on a Fruitarian Diet
Following these tips can help fruitarians maintain healthy teeth and gums:
- Keep your daily caloric intake from fat under 10%. A high-fat diet can cause blood sugar imbalances, resulting in teeth sensitivity and demineralization.
- Focus on monomeals if you have a history of candida. Efficient digestion can help to starve off the candida and make your teeth feel stronger.
- Try to minimize the amount of time your teeth are exposed to acid. Instead of snacking or drinking smoothies all day long, eat meals.
- Avoid eating too many acidic fruits, such as citrus, pineapples, kiwis, and pomegranates.
- Avoid eating unripe fruits, as they can be tough on your teeth.
- If you choose to eat dried fruits, thoroughly clean your teeth afterwards.
- Nuts and seeds can create an acidic mouth environment, which can harm your teeth.
- Eat plain greens with nothing on them after a meal of sweet fruit. Greens will clean the teeth of sugar and make enamel feel stronger.
- Wait to brush your teeth after eating acidic fruits as the acid softens the enamel.
- Use a water irrigation system to clean your teeth. It is safe to use right after meals without damaging the enamel.
- Floss daily, or whenever you feel the need to.
- Avoid using teeth whitening chemicals, as they can further damage the enamel.
- Use toothpaste without abrasive components.
- Avoid going back and forth to cooked foods, as many people find that their teeth react very negatively and become even more sensitive.
In conclusion, a fruitarian diet can be beneficial to your teeth and gums if you follow these tips. Eating a variety of fruits and avoiding sticky, acidic, and unripe fruits can help prevent dental problems. If you follow these tips, you may not need to visit a dentist as often, if at all.
