Best food for your teeth.
The traditional Thanksgiving feast is around the corner. We are looking forward to this delicious menu. So, we are discussing our favorite thanksgiving dishes.
Therefore, this time we are not going to tell you the foods to avoid. Instead, the dentists in Advanced Smiles Dentistry have come up with the best nutritional meals to eat during this Holiday 2021.
To sum up the Thanksgiving dinner we have the holy trinity: main courses; side dishes and desserts. Plus, appetizer, for those who like to warm up the stomach before diner time.
Thanksgiving main course.
Firstly, lest talk about the Turkey, the main star of the Thanksgiving table.
Turkey is a protein. Therefore, is pack with phosphorus. Phosphorous is an element that helps strengthen bones and teeth, protecting them from cavities.
If you go against tradition and eat ham. Accordingly, to the FoodData Central, ham is also rich in a lot of minerals. Just watch out your portion, you don’t want to overstep the daily rations.
Side Dishes for Thanksgiving
Secondly, green beans with sesame oil and roasted almonds is the best option. Green beans are rich in Vitamin A, C and K. Vitamin K is associated with bone health.
In the same way, important to know, is that if you go with the canned option. Make sure to rinse and drain completely to reduce the sodium intake.
A classic that everyone loves: Mash potatoes. The buttery smooth feeling in your mouth is not the only good thing. Did you know this famous holiday side dish is rich in vitamin C and potassium?
Sweet Dessert
Some people will say the best part is dessert. The best thing about thanksgiving pumpkin pie is that it doesn’t need added sugars. However, you still need to drink water and brush your teeth afterwards to wash away the sugar.
Plus, Appetizers
Nuts are loaded with antioxidants. Even though there are different types of nuts all of them are a great source of several nutrients.
From our family to yours Happy Thanksgiving. We love to see your smile at the office. Remember there’s always something to be grateful for. And at Advanced Smiles Dentistry we are grateful for you. Happy Holidays!
