Effect of obesity on non-surgical periodontal care

A new study explores how the most common non-communicable diseases, Obesity and gum (periodontal) might be related to each other. It also highlights the effect of obesity on non-surgical periodontal care. 

The connection between obesity and gum disease isn't as simple as cause-and-effect, said Andres Pinto, co-author of the study at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine. Instead, the relationship centers on what both diseases have in common: inflammation.

Examining a large number of existing studies, researchers found that data showing increased body mass index, waist circumference and percentage of body fat to be associated with an increased risk to develop gum disease, also known as periodontitis.

Most studies analysed data from population subsets at one point in time, as opposed to studying the same population over a longer period. They concluded that changes in body chemistry affect metabolism, which, in turn, causes inflammation--something present in both maladies. "Periodontal disease occurs in patients more susceptible to inflammation--who are also more susceptible to obesity," Pinto said.

"This information can inform how health-care professionals plan treatments for patients suffering from obesity and/or gum disease." "Oral health-care professionals need to be aware of the complexity of obesity to counsel their patients about the importance of appropriate body weight and maintaining good oral hygiene," he added. Pinto said further research on the relationship between gum disease and obesity is needed, noting there is, at this point, limited evidence to recommend changes in treatment planning.

"There is a thought, from the clinical perspective, that if you treat one of the issues, it may impact the other," he said. "This is a big question. For example, if we treat obesity successfully, will this impact periodontal disease to the point of being of clinical relevance compared to control the population. The jury is still out given the paucity of controlled, well designed, clinical trials on this issue."

· It well promotes holistic healing by promoting gut health and immunity along with relieving stress and boosting energy levels.

· The water stored in kansa doesn't become stale. Also, helps in preventing water borne diseases like diarrhoea, dysentery, jaundice etc.

· Copper is known to have brain stimulant and anti-convulsive properties helping in stimulating our brain

· Drinking and eating from copper vessels regulates requirement of important copper trace metals for thyroid glands to function optimally.

· It is recommended for daily use for deriving health benefits. The copper present in pure kansa reduces inflammation and improves haemoglobin, whereas, the tin strengthens absorption and digestion.

· Anti-Inflammatory properties found in copper releases joint, muscular pain and beats arthritis.

· Copper is the key component in the production of melanin helping in restoring healthy skin and slows down aging.

· Copper helps in breaking down and eliminating fat aiding in weight loss.

· Also helps in cardiovascular health and beat anaemia by regulating blood pressure.

2. Silver

· Silver is known to be a precious metal since it doesn't corrode but is difficult to maintain as it tarnishes when exposed to atmosphere.

· Its antimicrobial properties help preventing various diseases, healing wounds and is known to be beneficial for skin.

· Due to its anti-bacterial properties, usage of silver plates and utensils helps in protecting our food from getting infected

· Storing food and drinks in silver utensils keeps it fresh than stored in utensils that are not made of silver. In older times, milk was stored with a silver coin in it to maintain the taste and freshness.

· Helps in increasing the endurance of human immune system.

· Silver has cooling effect that helps in smooth digestion and help the body's metabolic system

· Silver is easy to maintain as it doesn't require scrubbing, minimal use of soap and water cleanses silverware.

3. Stainless Steel

· Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium and nickel. Though iron and chromium are cast as healthy minerals, nickel in unlikely to benefit

· It doesn't react with sour or acidic food but the quality of the stainless steel must be superior to ensure good health

· Eating from stainless steel neither increases the minerals of the food nor makes any unsafe impacts

· An ideal metal for cooking due to its non-reactive properties

4. Copper

· Copper is necessary for the proper functioning of liver, brain, heart, kidneys, and skeletal muscle. Also, it helps in healthy bones, blood vessels, nerves, and immune function, and it contributes to iron absorption.

· Water stored in Copper vessels are free of microorganisms, fungi and algae as it initiates a naturally purifying process making it perfectly fit for drinking

· Drinking water from copper vessels encourages improved digestive system, weight loss, heals wounds faster, slows down aging, beats arthritis and inflamed joints, protects from infection etc.

· Even though drinking from copper utensils is highly recommended, cooking iamp; eating from copper plates is not considered ideal. Reason being copper reacts with salts, acidic and citric products present in food.

5. Aluminum

· Longer the food is stored or cooked in aluminum the greater the amount that gets into food

· Leafy vegetables and acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus products, absorb the most aluminum

· Using aluminum cookware for a long time can pose Alzheimer's, myotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinsonism dementia.

· Aluminum also leads to kidney problem due to difficulty removing excess aluminum from their bodies because of which it gets accumulated posing risks for bone and brain disorder
