The Link Between Oral Health and Heart Disease

Research shows a strong link between poor dental hygiene and cardiovascular disease, with gum disease and oral infections leading to inflammation, harmful bacteria in the bloodstream, and potential infections in heart tissue. Maintaining good oral health is crucial for preventing serious cardiovascular conditions.

Gender Differences in Exercise Benefits

Women who exercise for at least 150 minutes a week have a lower risk of death and cardiovascular events compared to men. Physical activity is crucial for good health, and even a limited amount can have major benefits.
