Miami Beach is known for hot summers!
Many people love summer. I know I do. It is the hottest season and is marked by
the longest day of the year, plenty of sunshine, vacation time and fireflies.
But did you know that summer is also the time of year to enjoy a variety of
fruits and vegetables that are in peak season and can actually boost your dental
health. According to Miami dentist, Dr. Mereos, summer is the perfect season for eating great food full of vitamins and
nutrients that are perfect for promoting dental health. Berries are great….add
them to your diet and boost your dental health.Berries are small, edible fruits and there are a variety of the foods that are great for your teeth and dental health. Tomatoes, cranberries and grapes all fall into this category and are typically abundant and affordable year round (plus they are all excellent choices for boosting dental health and general well being). However, come summer, individuals have the ability to gorge on fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and reap the nutritional benefits linked with some of summers best fruit.
Strawberries are by far the most
popular healthy seasonal berry; the fruit accounted for 55 percent of all berry
sales in 2011 and for good reason
(http://www.statista.com/statistics/191512/fresh-berry-category-share-in-2011/).
Ripe, juicy, red strawberries are the perfect snack food for self proclaimed
'sugar addicts' as the perfect berry will taste better than any candy out
there, minus the risks and with vitamins and minerals essential for fueling the
human body.
One cup of strawberries is
delivers a variety of nutrition including magnesium, folate and potassium. A
full cup of the summer food also delivers a bit of calcium and over 100 mg of
vitamin C; both nutrients are vital to dental health.

Berries are full of vitamin C. Vitamin
C is also essential to dental health, especially in regards to recuperating
after oral surgery including tooth extractions, gum grafts and bone grafts.
Healthy doses of Vitamin C can speed up the recovery process associated with those
dental treatments. According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) patients
suffering from low levels of Vitamin C will need more time to recover from
their oral surgery procedures.
Perhaps you are a blueberry (41
percent of 2011 sales) or raspberry (12 percent of 2011 sales) fan? These tiny
little berries are known for packing a huge antioxidant, phytochemicals and
flavonoids that can help ward of various cancers. Plus those fruits also
deliver some Vitamin C along with the naturally fantastic flavor.
