WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL: OPTIMIZE WHOLE BODY HEALTH

Wisdom teeth are often problematic to our oral health when they emerge and if they are retained. If we keep
our wisdom teeth, they can contribute to a host of oral health conditions including gum disease, tooth decay,
occlusal problems, and orofacial pain. Most dental professionals recommend the removal of wisdom teeth
because of their problematic nature. Having wisdom teeth extracted early on can prevent many oral health
complications and improve a person’s quality of life. A tooth extraction involves the removal of all a tooth’s
parts, including its roots. Following are some whole body benefits to removing your wisdom teeth (third
molars).

When wisdom teeth come through the gums during early adulthood, the rest of a person’s teeth are well-
established in the jaw and gums. Since these teeth are well-established, having extra teeth emerge so late in
life can lead to unwanted tooth movement. In fact, crowding is the most common spacing issue associated
with wisdom teeth. Crowding not only affects tooth placement, it affects a person’s comfort. Tooth movement
contributes to headaches, which is an issue that commonly affects patients with wisdom teeth emerging.
Having wisdom teeth removed can improve the frequency of headaches because teeth no longer have
pressure on them from third molars.

Keeping third molars increases people’s risks for developing common conditions like dental caries and gum
disease, both of these conditions can cause oral infections, loss of vital tissue, and discomfort. By removing
wisdom teeth as soon as possible, patients can enjoy reduced risks of destructive oral health problems.

2. THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF BANANAS

Heart health

Bananas are good for your heart. They are packed with potassium, a mineral electrolyte that keeps electricity
flowing throughout your body, which is required to keep your heart beating. Bananas' high potassium and low
sodium content may also help protect your cardiovascular system against/ from high blood pressure,
according to the FDA.

A 2017 animal study conducted by researchers at the University of Alabama found that the potassium in
bananas is also linked to arterial effectiveness; the more potassium you have, the less likely your arteries are
to harden. In the study, mice with lower-potassium diet had harder arteries than mice consuming a normal
amount of potassium. Arterial stiffness in humans is linked to heart disease.
Depression and mood

Bananas can be helpful in overcoming depression "due to high levels of tryptophan, which the body converts
to serotonin, the mood-elevating brain neurotransmitter," Flores said. Plus, vitamin B6 can help you sleep
well, and magnesium helps to relax muscles. Additionally/ Moreover, the tryptophan in bananas is well known
for its sleep-inducing properties.

Exercise

For replenishing energy and electrolytes, bananas can be more effective/ helpful than sports drinks. A 2012
study published in PLOS One looked at male athletes competing in long-distance cycling races. They compared
athletes refueling with Gatorade every 15 minutes to/ with athletes refueling with a banana and water.
Researchers saw that the athletes' performance times and body physiology were the same in both cases. But
the banana's serotonin and dopamine improved the athletes' antioxidant capacity and helped with oxidative
stress, improving performance overall.

Vision

Carrots may get all the glory for helping your eyes, but bananas do/ have their share as well. The fruits contain
a small but significant amount of vitamin A, which is essential for protecting your eyes, maintaining normal
vision and improving vision at night, according to the National Institutes of Health. Vitamin A contains
compounds that preserve the membranes around your eyes and are an element in the proteins that bring light
to your corneas. Like other fruits, bananas can help prevent macular degeneration, an incurable condition,
which blurs central vision. In addition, bananas may be helpful in preventing kidney cancer because of their
high levels of antioxidant phenolic compounds.

3. PYRAMIDS AT GIZA

How the Pyramids at Giza were built is one of Egypt's biggest mysteries.

The Giza Pyramids, built to endure an eternity, have done just that. The monumental tombs are relics of
Egypt's Old Kingdom era and were constructed some 4,500 years ago. Egypt's pharaohs expected to become
gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the next world they erected temples to the gods and massive pyramid
tombs for themselves—filled with all the things each ruler would need to guide and sustain himself in the next
world.
The ancient engineering feats at Giza were so impressive that even today scientists can't be sure how the
pyramids were built. Yet/ But they have learned much about the people who built them and the political
power necessary to make it happen.

The builders were skilled, well-fed Egyptian workers who/ that lived in a nearby temporary city. Archaeological
digs on the fascinating site have revealed a highly organized community, rich with resources, that must have
been backed by strong central authority.

It's likely that communities across Egypt contributed workers, as well as food and other essentials, for what
became in some ways a national project to display the wealth and control of the ancient pharaohs.

Such revelations have led Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities and a
National Geographic explorer-in-residence, to note that in one sense it was the Pyramids that built Egypt—
rather than the other way around.

4. CLASSICAL MECHANICS (THE LAWS OF MOTION)

If you’ve studied any sort of science, you’ve probably heard the story of Isaac Newton sitting under an apple
tree and formulating the basic laws of motion. While the story is partly apocryphal, there is some truth to it. In
1687, Newton published Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, the first book that laid out the
fundamental laws of motion or classical mechanics. In the book, Newton laid out and explained the three
fundamental laws of classical mechanics:

1. Objects at rest will remain at rest, and objects in motion will remain in motion at the same velocity,
unless the object is acted on by an external force.

2. Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)

3. When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite
force on the first.

These/ They may sound a little abstract, but when you think about it, these laws of mechanics are clear from
everyday life. On a flat surface, a ball will remain still/ stationary unless someone kicks it, or the wind blows it.
On a hill, gravity acts upon it and pulls it downhill. As far as force, we all understand that being hit by a
dodgeball moving 30 mph isn’t the same as being hit by a car moving at the same speed. The mass of the
object makes a difference in the force. And finally, we all understand that if we punch a wall, we’re probably
going to break our hand. We may hit the wall hard, but the wall exerts an equal and opposite force in return.

5. ELECTROMAGNETISM
What is light? It’s impossible to understand this simple question without talking about electromagnetism, one
of the 4 basic forces that govern the universe. Electromagnetism refers to the forces generated by the
electrons that are found in certain types of matter throughout the universe. Some types of matter, such as the
compounds found in magnets, have electrons that are configured in such a way as to exert force on other
electrons that are in “charged particles.”

These compounds exert energy on other “charged particles,” which is why a magnet will attract a paperclip
but not your finger. The force carried by an electromagnetic field is carried by photons, which are particles
that sometimes act like waves (or waves that sometimes act like particles).

Confusing, I know. The basic thing to understand is that electromagnetic radiation makes up much of our
everyday lives. Visible light itself is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Other types of electromagnetic
radiation are x rays, radio waves, and so on. Electricity, of course, is created through the manipulation of
electromagnetic forces.

6. EARTH HOUR

Millions of people turn off their lights for Earth Hour at 8.30pm (20:30) in their local times on the last Saturday
of March. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Europe to Asia to the Americas have stood in darkness during
previous Earth Hours. Some people enjoy Earth Hour with a candle-lit dinner or a candle-lit bath, while others
host/ hold/ organize large events or parties, either in darkness or with candles, to celebrate Earth Hour.

Businesses and government organizations, as well as community and political leaders also take part in Earth
Hour. It's about giving people a voice on the planet’s future and working together to create a sustainable low
carbon future for planet earth.

Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. This event saw 2.2 million homes and businesses turn their
lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change that year. Earth Hour had become a global
sustainability movement with more than 50 mililon people across 35 countries participating in 2008. Global
landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Golden Gate Bridge in San
Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness for Earth Hour. In March 2009, hundreds of millions of
people took part in the third Earth Hour.

WWF, which organizes/holds/hosts the annual Earth Hour event, aims to stop the degradation of the Earth's
natural environment. It also focuses on building a future where people live in harmony with nature. The
organization functions through a network of more than 90 offices in more than 40 countries worldwide. Its
first office was founded in Morges, Switzerland, on September 11, 1961.
