Your health and the fitness of your body to meet the challenges you face each day of your life is, as you know, of the utmost importance. Anytime you may have spent in the past being sick and unhealthy have probably made you even more aware of your need to regain your health and remain healthy as soon as possible.

You are, no doubt, aware of the many kinds of health problems we all face each day. Many of those hazards can be avoided or sidestepped with what we call "preventative medicine."

For example, our personal physicians and dentists often advise us to have regular check ups that are designed to keep us as healthy as possible at all times.

This brings up the question: do we follow that kind of advice when it is offered to us? Sometimes we do and many times we do not.

It seems to me, the easiest professional advice for us to always ignore is what we hear from our dentists. The dentists always say to us: " Get regular checkups." We usually do not do that but let me give you some reasons why what the dentists tells is so important to our health.

Over the years many health researches have agreed that much of our health and fitness is directly related to our teeth, our oral health. Think for a minute: everything you put in your mouth, and chew and swallow goes almost directly into your body. What does the food you swallow do in your stomach? It gets digested, processed, adsorbed, consumed and - broken down. Next it is dispersed into your blood stream and other parts of your body where it provides you with good health and energy. Any of the food that is not digestible moves into your large and small intestines where it is then eliminated.

As long as the food you eat is properly chewed in your healthy mouth, using either your natural teeth or the teeth in your comfortable denture, you can expect to remain healthy and well nourished.

According to the oral health researcher's studies, when you develop poor oral health or loose, uncomfortable dentures the rest of your body may be deprived of food that is not properly chewed. Then, the result can be - you become under nourished - to the point where you may get sick.

Therefore, this is why you need to follow your dentist's and doctor's advice to have regular physical examinations that can improve your body's health.
