<p>Yes! Who knew that simple oral hygiene can have such far reaching benefits? This comes from a study done at the Columbia University who has identified a positive link between oral hygiene improving your memory and combating dementia. The bacteria accumulated between our teeth throughout the day can lead to arterial damage.</p>
<p>Arterial damage over a period of time can lead to decreased blood supply to the brain. This can ultimately lead to memory loss which can result in dementia. Brushing and flossing regularly prevents these bacteria from accumulating. Regular oral hygiene help keep your arteries unclogged and ensure proper blood flow to the brain and keeping it sharp and in ship shape. They also help prevent inflammation in the body which is also cause for arterial damage. Not to mention, improve your memory.</p>
<p>So, the next time you can&#8217;t remember something, ponder over it as you brush your teeth!</p>

A recent report published by American Dietetic Association revealed that the main difference in the diet of the obese people and persons having normal weight is that they consume 43 percent more complex carbohydrates and 33 percent increased dietary fibers. Some of the ways in which you can stay fit by choosing high fiber foods are:</p>
<p>High fiber foods are generally low in calories and have lesser fat content. Also as it is difficult for our body to breakdown fiber it is not converted into fat and deposited into our adipose tissue.</p>
<p>Another advantage of having high fiber diet is that it takes time to digest and hence make you feel full for long after having your meal and reduces food cravings</p>
<p>High fiber diets keep a check on your blood sugar levels thereby helping the diabetic patients</p>
<p>All fruits and vegetables having high fiber are also good antioxidants that strengthen your immunity to fight against diseases.</p>
