Frequent cleaning of the teeth can reduce the risk of heart disease

Scientists from South Korea found unexpected relationship between oral hygiene and diseases of the cardiovascular system. To do this, they found 161 286 volunteers aged 40-79 years who have not previously had heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Next, the researchers for 10.5 years watching these people, marking a change in weight, growth, assays, disease and oral hygiene. During the experiment at 5% developed heart failure and 3% - atrial fibrillation. In this case, the subjects that brush your teeth 3 or more times a day, the risk of developing heart failure was lower by 12%, and atrial fibrillation - 10%.

One possible explanation for this strange communication is based on earlier studies. In particular, the American scientists provedThat irregular teeth cleaning can lead to the fact that bacteria accumulate between the teeth and gums, penetrate into the blood and cause inflammation. It, in turn, increases the risk of arrhythmias and heart failure.

Scientists point out that talk about teeth cleaning as a way of preventing diseases of the cardiovascular system is still too early: it requires additional research. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the teeth should be cleaned regularly at least in order to be a good company and avoid huge bills from
