Japanese researchers have recently reported that there seems to be a positive effect on bad breath from eating yogurt.

The study seems to have been quite small in scope, but the researchers also claim that yogurt could have a positive effect on your gums as well. It seems as though a little yogurt may go along way to better oral hygiene and fresh breath.

Severe snoring can be more serious than just a major annoyance. Snoring in it's most severe form can be sleep apnea. The word 'apnea' in Greek means 'without breathe'.
Those that suffer from sleep apnea associated with snoring (OSA- obstructive sleep apnea) literally stop breathing momentarily and then start again abruptly.
This can happen hundreds of times a night and be quite detrimental to your health. This is caused when the soft tissue of your throat collapses and your airway is completely restricted.
This should be taken seriously and you should consult a physician and/or look for natural solutions.

Heartburn Explained
April 28, 2005 14:45
Heartburn or Acid Reflux is generally caused by stomach acids finding there way back up into the esophagus. At the base of the esophagus where it meets the stomach, you have a sphincter (or lower esophageal sphincter- LES), that acts like a one way valve.
This valve allows foods and drinks coming from your mouth, through the esophagus and into your stomach, but prevents your stomach contents from finding their way back into your esophagus.
The most common cause of heartburn occurs when the LES doesn't do it's job, and allows acids from your stomach back into the esophagus, causing pain and irritation or HEARTBURN.
