HEALTH: ALTERNATIVE WAY TO BRIGHTEN YOUR TEETH

Alternative Way to Brighten your Teeth: ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

I was lucky to try this new product for whitening and brightening teeth. Based in ancient conceptions and basic knowledge there are an array of natural products used for different purposes regarding our health. 
In modern times we turn to brand products filled with chemicals that may be potential risky to our health and deteriorate the enamel in our teeth. We think it is convenient, but if you have tried the trays that need to be heated, molded and then apply the bleaching agent, you'll know that is not an easy task.
Setting this as base, I prefer a more natural approach that may look too simple to be true. In this case I tried the Activated Coconut Charcoal Powder, it is a black powder (of-course) that you apply a small amount to a soft tooth brush and gently massage the teeth for about two minutes. This  polishes the teeth giving a shinny pearl like look (in my case). 
I have used it for a few days an can see a difference. The first time I used a larger amount and I got mouth, hands and the sink all black (LOL), now I know the exact amount needed and it washes off easy. 
I think this is a great solution to a better smile.

Note: this product is not harmful in any way, but always ask a healthcare provider if this is right for you.

AFTER:

Here is a piece found in WebMD about Activated Charcoal.

Common charcoal is made from peat, coal, wood, coconut shell, or petroleum. “Activated charcoal” is similar to common charcoal, but is made especially for use as a medicine. To make activated charcoal, manufacturers heat common charcoal in the presence of a gas that causes the charcoal to develop lots of internal spaces or “pores.” These pores help activated charcoal “trap” chemicals.


Activated charcoal is used to treat poisonings, reduce intestinal gas (flatulence), lower cholesterol levels, prevent hangover, and treat bile flow problems (cholestasis) during pregnancy.

How does it work?

Activated charcoal is good at trapping chemicals and prevents their absorption.

Leaves the skin exfoliated and refresh without the dead cells. The consistency is very nice, since the sandy feeling of the scrub isn’t harsh for the skin.

The Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale

The Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale Just received the package with the Ozeri Gourmet Digital Kitchen Scale and I am pleased to say that my husband, being a chef, really liked this scale. First it is very easy to handle and even if it’s digital it is pretty sturdy. Also it gives all of the measures and it was very easy to use. The screen also is digital and lights up making the reading much easier than the traditional gray screen with black numbers, we will definitely be looking for more products from Ozeri. The features I like best are the tare mode, temperature sensor, alarm, and the display can be used in the imperial or metric units. Note: I received this product free for review purposes and an un-biased opinion.
