keeping your teeth and gums healthy is actually simpler than it may seem - priority one is to eat wholesome natural foods, and to chew your food well - in order to maintain strong healthy enamel, vital nutrients and minerals are absorbed directly through the teeth while chewing food WELL if you can't brush right away, be sure to at least swish with some pure water... otherwise, brush regularly with pure baking soda dissolved in pure water, swish occassionally with sea salt dissolved in a bit of lukewarm water, use floss frequently but be sure that it is all natural - use a good quality soft toothbrush - avoid excessive use of toothpastes containing flouride and glycerine... green tea strengthens teeth and regulates bacteria, and drinking enough pure water in general keeps your mouth and body in its best shape

keeping fit as a fiddle can be a natural part of daily living - cleaning your house, working outside in the yard / garden / neighborhood, taking daily walks, stretching, dancing, and keeping a smile on your face is all there really is to it... break a sweat everyday doing something necessary, help out where/whenever you can, rest when you need to rest, keep a clear mind, listen to your body, and learn to fine tune your intuition - if that is in shape, everything else will follow
