The microflora of the oral cavity.

Why is it so important? Because a huge number of microorganisms live in the mouth, and the oral cavity is considered one of the dirtiest places on the human body. “Pathogenic microorganisms in the mouth can lead to immune system diseases, diabetes and even dementia,” says British biologist Andrew Steele.

I mix a few drops on my wrist and get some incredible subtle, sensual and delicate fragrance that lasts until the evening. But at the same time it does not interfere at all and does not irritate. And even, on the contrary, the other day I was stopped several times on the street and asked what kind of perfume I had? Well, to everything else, essential oils also have many health bonuses. For example, the aroma of ylang-ylang removes anxiety and depressive states, but patchouli is generally a natural aphrodisiac.

Although it is important to consider the origin of the meat, the nutrition of the livestock and the presence of chemicals in the meat.

What foods are the most nutritious?

The most useful products are considered to be products that scored from 70 points. Products from 31 to 69 points are suitable for nutrition, and everything below 31 is better to be removed from the diet, as they are of no value and do more harm to health than good. It is interesting (and a little strange for me) that the most nutritious foods that are rich in trace elements necessary for a person were recognized: Raspberries Light mayonnaise Vegetable curry Tuna salad Salted almonds Coffee and cappuccino
