    And everyone in your videos has such straight WIDE smiles/jaws. No crowding of teeth. Probably good nutrition in development

    • @Myladyinred999

      I've learned that crowding of teeth comes from not chewing enough, for example from not eating enough nuts, raw veggies, whole grains and fiber in general as well as from how we brush our teeth 👍 In most modern industrialized countries we eat too much soft foods that do not really require much chewing at all let alone require our guts to work 😉

      It's genetics - but yes also good diet high in fibre /things which require chewing. Apparently black people who grew up in the West also have extremely strong teeth, to the extent that some dentists know they will be in for hard job when removing them!

      Miswak sticks are sold on Amazon. But lately I have been windering if ANY stick would work (provided it is not poisonous) like oak or apple.....

    • @Myladyinred999
      @Myladyinred999 3 месяца назад

      @@vbetta8979 I only know in general that a lot of sticks used as tooth brushes also contain good ingredients that additionally strenghten the teeth 👍 So I guess there are reasons why specific sticks were chosen traditionally and not just any 😉

    I brush my teeth but still use it because it's healthy for the gum and teeth too. We use it in Senegal

    Most people are familiar with using neem chew sticks because it has medicinal properties but never heard of guava sticks. If this is the case then perhaps the most trees can be used as a chew stick

    Meanwhile here in Finland, still these days when hiking and you don’t carry a toothbrush the traditional alternative is to use birch sticks in the exactly same manner as guava in this vid. I wonder if one reason for using birch is that it’s the natural source for xylitol (sugar that is good for teeth). 😬

    Reminds me of chaw sticks in jamaica, or heather branches in old western europe before they switched to rubbing with linen. I think most cultures have this similar idea/technique, and learn through practise the sorts of things that work to help stay healthy, and I think it's so interesting!

  • @cryptoblahblah2074

    You can use Neem tree sticks too. Works the same.

    I heard that Africans got straight teeth because they chew on hard foods instead of Americans eating all heavily processed soft foods like hamburgers. That guava stick is actually perfect because it does not cause gum recession and does not cause enamel wearing as bad as synthetic tooth brushes.

    Say, before you went overseas, did your teeth have plaque? When I was home, my teeth never had plaque. But now they have some, especially if I eat western food.

    • @franny5295
      @franny5295 3 месяца назад

      Our food is garbage, don't eat that. Buy ingredients you can work with from the store and cook at home so you are eating actual foods. They "feed" westerners the same way they fatten livestock and neither the people nor the livestock are healthy. Just look for yourself. Don't eat that...
