"Health after meals" is particularly critical to the health of the elderly. There are many common sayings in this respect, such as "having a cup of tea after a meal to refresh yourself and help digestion". In fact, after-dinner health care has existed since ancient times. The following is a long-standing health care method after meals in ancient books.
Rinse your mouth after meals. Zhang Zhongjing, an ancient physician, pointed out that "rinse your mouth after meals to make your teeth unbeaten and your mouth fragrant." Keeping the mouth moist and clean can stimulate the taste buds on the tongue, enhance the taste function, effectively prevent and treat oral and dental diseases and help digestion.
The purpose of brushing your teeth:
The main purpose of brushing teeth is to remove dental plaque, because only dental plaque can form a stable attachment on the tooth surface, and unclean substances such as calculus and tartar can only stay on the tooth surface through dental plaque, thus causing tooth inflammation, bleeding and even loosening and falling off.
After a meal, about 30 minutes to 60 minutes, dental plaque can form a stable attachment on the tooth surface. Therefore, it is recommended to brush your teeth within 0/5 minutes to 30 minutes after meals, which can effectively prevent the formation of dental plaque without dental calculus and tartar.
