MEMORY BAD

I have heard that if you eat 7 almonds a day it will help improve your memory. I saw on tv where they eat sunflower seeds across the water for better memorny. Not the ones that have been roasted, the ones that are fresh and dehulled. I love almonds anyway so maybe I shoud start eating them more.

TEETH WHITING

Did you know that strawberries is supposed to whiten your teeth. Rub some on your teeth every day for a week. Brush your teeth afterwards. These have to be fresh strawberries. Have not tried it but I heard it will work.
I do know that orange peel when rubbed on your teeth will clean them. The oil in the orange hull, the orange part will clean your teeth and make them feel so fresh. To strong for a child to try tho. The oil is bitter.

TOOTH ACHE PAIN

If you have a tooth ache and don't have anything to use for it try putting a whole clove(spice) on it. I have done this and it works. Bite the clove but it is very bitter and release some of the juice. I have even put some ground cloves on my tooth. It will numb it and reduce the pain. Hold the clove in place by using your finger on the outside of your cheek. Do not swollow the clove. I would not let a child use this tho as it is two strong for them. Hold on the tooth for around 30 minutes then spit it out. It will work. It has the same effect as the stuff they numb your teeth with.
