While the nose is where 90% of infections enter the body…the mouth is the number two spot where infection enters. There is a correlation between oral care and systemic health. Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes, and even Covid…all are higher in people that have poor oral hygiene. Nathan Jones, CEO and Founder of Xlear, Inc., the xylitol-product-based company, explains the reason for this is that poor oral hygiene leads to inflammation and, when the mouth is inflamed, more bacteria and viruses pass through the tissue and get into the bloodstream. Studies show that xylitol blocks both bacterial and viral adhesion. For 50 yrs we have known that xylitol prevents tooth decay but now on top of that, we understand how it also helps with our current health crisis.

Give the gift of healthy chocolate!
If you have a sweet tooth like me, the holiday season can be full of temptation.
Thankfully, FlavaNaturals’ line of products ensures chocolate lovers like me can obtain the full health benefits of cocoa flavanols along with great taste—all with less fat and sugar!
Cocoa is one of the most thoroughly-investigated functional foods on the planet. That’s why I take plentiful, flavanol-rich cocoa supplementation daily and have long recommended it to my patients and audience. But just taking any store-bought dark chocolate won’t deliver its benefits; FlavaNaturals cocoa products contain 5-9 times the beneficial flavanols of typical dark chocolate. I throw some powder in with my decaf or a smoothie, and even use it to make chia chocolate pudding!
Right now, FlavaNaturals is offering special holiday savings for my audience: Save 20% through December 19th with code HOFFMAN20
