Healthy Choice of the Week: CUCUMBER!

Treat toothaches and your gums with cucumber! Did you know periodontal disease can be effectively treated with cucumber juice? The consumption of raw cucumber can increase saliva and serves to neautralize the acid and base in the oral cavity.

Cucumbers also contain a photochemical that fights the bacteria that causes bad breath. Try taking a slice of cucumber and holding it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds - 1 minute. Remove or chew it up for a healthy snack!
