This is the missing piece of the puzzle. To achieve lasting results, you must support your liver, your gut, and your saliva pH. When your saliva becomes more alkaline, stains simply stop sticking.
- Eat Bitter Foods: Incorporate bitter-rich greens and foods into your diet. Arugula, artichokes, ginger, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, and basil are excellent choices. Squeezing fresh lemon or lime into your water also helps.
- Use Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): This might sound counterintuitive, but consuming ACV before your largest meal can help balance your stomach acid, which in turn impacts your overall pH. Always dilute one tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water and drink it through a straw to protect your enamel. Rinse your mouth with plain water afterward.
- Hydrate with Minerals: Drink mineral-rich water. Brands like Gerolsteiner, Saratoga, or Mountain Valley are great options. You can also make your own bone broth or use a high-quality sea salt and potassium-rich foods to ensure your body is getting the minerals it needs to build strong enamel.
