The exercise chart is at the bottom of this post. Wrinkles around your eyes? Do the “suction hold” from the chart. A cramped mouth and narrow jaw lacks support under the eyes, so the exercises below help adults, too.
Baby teeth need to have space between each tooth. Unfortunately, this is rare now. Sometime in the 1980s, children’s teeth began to come in without spaces. Things get worse each decade. After researching and observing, my best guess is that this is due to both nutrient degradation of our food as well as chemical contaminants in the food and environment.
For my garden, I ordered several tons of crushed rock to remineralize the soil — you can’t imagine how huge my vegetable greens have become, I will get photos this season. The odd thing is that once I put the crushed rock in the soil, the plants can fight off disease on their own. No aphids, no Japanese beetles, etc.
Check out my earlier post for Sally Fallon’s book on nutrient dense foods. Look for a farmer who uses biodynamic farming techniques (my crushed rock order is considered biodynamic, though I don’t know why all soil isn’t remineralized regularly because it is spectacular). The farmer we use has a nice newsletter and blog that will help everyone know what to look for in a farm store.
Chemicals and heavy metal contamination have been shown to block uptake of nutrients and beneficial minerals, too.
Nutrients will help going forward, but it is also important to do exercises. This chart is from Myo Munchee. I really have to get them to give me some freebies because I always recommend them because they use 100 percent silicone material.
Speaking of silicone, a profusion of children’s products including mouthguards, pacifiers (no), and baby balls are advertised as being made from medical-grade silicone. They are not! They are mixed with PVC, a substance so toxic that it is no longer used for water pipes, much less something to go in a child’s mouth. These products frequently contain heavy metals such as lead or cadmium. This is how the smooth, durable, and colored surface textures are achieved.
While we are at it, Tamara Rubin has details on heavy metals here.
Very good chart.
