It\u2019s obvious that exercising has many benefits for your health. The activity burns fat, strengthens your muscles and heart, boosts your mood, and more! However, some of the advantages can be unexpected. For instance, did you know physical fitness helps your oral health? As surprising as it sounds, \u201cfeeling the burn\u201d can keep your gums protected. To learn more, look over this summary of gum disease<\/a>, its effects, and how exercise fights it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Gum Disease: A Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you didn\u2019t already know, gum disease is an infection of your mouth\u2019s gums. Its symptoms include bad breath, red and swollen gums, painful chewing, and more. It\u2019s caused by poor oral hygiene, which allows plaque to build up and spread harmful bacteria beneath the gumline. While dentists can reverse it when it starts as gingivitis, more advanced stages can only be managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies suggest half of Americans over 30 years old have some form of this condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Disease\u2019s Ill Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many would say the first symptoms of gum disease are bad enough. Even so, the condition produces worse effects if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, it\u2019ll cause even more problems for oral health. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss as the infection spreads to your jawbone. When that happens, it destroys your jaw and causes the teeth to loosen. As these pearly whites loosen, the risk increases that they\u2019ll fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease also triggers other harmful conditions. It\u2019s already been linked to heart disease, Alzheimer\u2019s, diabetes complications, and kidney disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Exercise Fights Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Physical activity activates body processes that protect your mouth. Specifically, regular exercise improves your digestive system by pumping your blood and creating effective bowel movements. As\u00a0a result, your body gets better at absorbing the nutrients that strengthen your gums. Your body\u2019s overall health then improves, not just your dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research supports this conclusion. According to the NHANES, exercising 1-3 times a week reduces the risk of developing gum disease. Similarly, a study by Colgate found that nonsmokers who exercised five days per week for ten years showed significantly lower odds of getting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, it\u2019d be good for you to add physical activity alongside your brushing and flossing. That way, your whole smile will be as strong and \u201cfit\u201d as your other body parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
