WHEN TO BRUSH AND FLOSS:
THE IDEAL SEQUENCE FOR YOUR DENTAL REGIMEN
Proper oral hygiene is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums, preventing cavities, and avoiding gum disease. While most people understand the importance of brushing and flossing, there's often confusion about the ideal sequence of these activities. Should you brush before you floss or the other way around? This text explores the best practices for brushing and flossing, providing clear recommendations based on current scientific evidence.
Why Brushing and Flossing Matter
Brushing is the cornerstone of daily oral hygiene. It removes plaque - a sticky film of bacteria - from the surfaces of your teeth, preventing tooth decay and gum disease. Brushing also helps deliver fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel and makes it more resistant to cavities. Dentists recommend brushing twice a day for two minutes using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. The proper technique involves holding the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gumline and using gentle, circular motions.
Flossing plays an equally important role in oral hygiene. It cleans between the teeth and under the gumline, areas where a toothbrush can't reach. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease by removing plaque and food particles that can lead to tooth decay and inflammation. Flossing should be done at least once a day using about 18 inches of dental floss, gently moving it between the teeth with a back-and-forth motion.
Brushing or Flossing First: What’s the Right Order?
The sequence of brushing and flossing has been a topic of debate. Here’s a closer look at both approaches:
1. Brushing Before Flossing:
: Brushing first helps remove the bulk of plaque and food particles from your teeth. This might make it easier to floss afterward, as there is less debris to deal with. Additionally, brushing first applies fluoride to the teeth, which can help protect them during flossing.
- Cons: If you floss after brushing, you might push some of the debris and bacteria that were dislodged during flossing back onto the tooth surfaces, potentially reducing the effectiveness of your cleaning.
2. Flossing Before Brushing:
: Flossing first dislodges plaque and food particles from between the teeth, making it easier for the toothbrush to remove these elements. Research suggests that this sequence allows for better fluoride penetration between the teeth, enhancing cavity protection.
- Cons: Some people may find flossing first less intuitive, and it might take a while to get used to this sequence.
What Does the Science Say?
Recent studies provide valuable insights into the most effective sequence:
- Flossing Before Brushing published in the Periodontology before brushing leads to a greater reduction in plaque between teeth and results in higher fluoride concentration in these areas. This means that flossing first can make brushing more effective, especially in preventing cavities and gum disease.
- Brushing Before Flossing brushing first is a common practice, recent evidence suggests that it may not be as effective in removing interdental plaque and ensuring fluoride reaches all areas of the mouth.
The Recommended Sequence
Given the current evidence, the ideal sequence for your dental regimen is:
- Flossing Before Brushing to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth. This allows your toothbrush to more effectively clean your teeth and ensures that fluoride can better reach the spaces between them.
- Brushing teeth for two minutes using a fluoride toothpaste. This will remove any

NEWGATE'S COMMITMENT TO HEALTH IN PALESTINE:
A COLLABORATIVE JOURNEY WITH DR. SERHAN DRUGSTORE
Hebron, Palestine
Palestinian Ministry of Health - Quick Overview:
The Palestinian Ministry of Health is the governmental body responsible for public health in the State of Palestine. It oversees all public hospitals and medical centers and conducts health-related statistics in the occupied State of Palestine. The ministry's offices are distributed across multiple cities.
The Right to Health for All Palestinian People:
The ministry is dedicated to providing high-quality public health services and healthcare for everyone, ensuring equality and justice. Special attention is given to marginalized groups, particularly those isolated in the Jordan Valley, East Jerusalem, and those affected by the separation wall, as well as residents of the Gaza Strip, who have been under a severe blockade for several years.
In Palestine, healthcare services are available from both public and private sectors. Public health services are provided through the Ministry of Health, which operates a series of medical facilities offering free health services. The Palestinian Ministry of Health also covers some treatment expenses in certain special cases within the private health sector.
Pharmacists' Union:
The Pharmacists' Union in Palestine plays a significant role in organizing pharmaceutical and legal work in accordance with Palestinian laws. It strives to meet the health needs of Palestinian citizens, facilitating and organizing work to optimize public welfare.
The Palestinian Market:
The Palestinian market for medicines and vitamins involves collaboration with physicians. Palestinian doctors are considered among the best in the world for several reasons. One key factor is their diverse medical education, often gained from studying in Europe, America, and other regions, which provides them with unique expertise. Additionally, Palestinian doctors are distinguished by the challenges they face due to the unique circumstances in Palestine. Consequently, Palestine has some of the world's best surgeons, as the experiences and cases they handle are unlike those typically encountered by surgeons in other countries.
Patients often seek vitamins and food supplements from various medical centers and doctors as safe alternatives or preventive measures. Awareness of food supplements has grown significantly, especially over the past seven years, and continues to expand in the Palestinian market, often being used alongside other medications to address various health issues.
Medical Collaboration between Newgate London and Newgate Palestine:
At Dr. Serhan Drugstore, our Medical Development Department stays updated on all new developments. In collaboration with the parent company, Newgate, we exchange scientific insights to produce formulations specifically tailored for the Palestinian market, based on doctors' requests and consumer needs. This department is responsible for the scientific monitoring of compounds and products, aiming for excellence in serving both citizens and doctors by providing new, necessary formulations.
General Public Awareness of Food Supplements and Vitamins:
Public awareness of vitamins and food supplements is evolving, but the public still largely relies on medical prescriptions. One of our goals at Newgate is to promote broader awareness of vitamins and food supplements. We aim to achieve this through advertising and promotional strategies, as well as by answering inquiries through the official Newgate channels.
Despite the difficulties and challenging circumstances in Palestine, we remain committed to providing high-quality medical products and vitamins to the Palestinian market. This commitment led to the partnership between Newgate and Dr. Serhan Drugstore, the official agent of Newgate in Palestine, which will significantly contribute to the Palestinian market through its high-quality products, many of which are new to the market and expected to have a noticeable impact.
Challenging Times for the World and Palestine:
In these difficult times, both globally and in Palestine, our commitment to
The Impact of COVID-19:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected Palestine much like other regions around the world. However, there was a strong commitment from both the authorities and the public to adhere to the guidelines set by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization. The use of vitamins played a significant role in boosting immunity, which helped control the number of infections and aided in recovery. Despite these efforts, Palestine unfortunately lost many citizens during the pandemic.
Pharmaceutical Companies in Palestine:
Palestine is home to several pharmaceutical companies that produce both medicines and vitamins, with a primary focus on medicines. These companies operate at a global level in terms of technology, production, and continuous scientific advancements. They are also exporters to other countries. However, their production is more heavily concentrated on medicines than vitamins.
Market Needs and Requirements in Palestine:
The Palestinian market offers a wide variety of essential food supplements, but there is a need to develop and market certain products to meet specific demands. This is where Newgate stands out, providing unique formulations that cater to the specific needs of Palestinian consumers, such as:
- Colon Aid
- Breastfeeding Support
- Vitamin D with K2
- Conception Male Advanced
A key strength of Newgate is its willingness to engage in discussions to produce customized formulations specifically required by the market. This can be seen in several formulations that Newgate has introduced, which are highly sought after by the Palestinian population.
Quality Assurance:
Not all products available in the current market meet high-quality standards. However, at Dr. Serhan Drugstore, in collaboration with Newgate, we ensure that our products adhere to the highest quality standards, providing the Palestinian people with the essential products they need.
Availability of Newgate Products in Palestine:
The availability of Newgate products in Palestine significantly supports both physicians and the public in achieving optimal medical outcomes. As mentioned earlier, not all Newgate formulations are yet available in the Palestinian market. However, the products that are available are highly effective and perform their intended functions well, which is crucial for both doctors and patients. Additionally, Newgate’s ability to provide custom formulations is an excellent advantage, filling gaps in the market and aiding in the advancement of the Palestinian medical sector. The reasonable pricing of these products also positively impacts doctors' willingness to prescribe them and makes them more accessible to consumers, particularly given the challenging circumstances that Palestine has faced for many years.
Partnership with Newgate London:
As partners, we recognize that the parent company, Newgate, possesses many strengths, some of which have been highlighted in this article. Among the most important are the company’s openness to other markets, the scientific robustness of its products, and their proven effectiveness. Newgate consistently produces cutting-edge medical formulations and does not limit itself to traditional food supplements; instead, it offers unique products that keep pace with medical advancements. We are honored to be one of the company’s distinguished agents, especially considering the population of Palestine, which, despite the division of the region and challenging circumstances, stands at approximately 3.5 million people. Despite these challenges, the medical field in Palestine strongly emphasizes the use of food supplements, reflecting significant purchasing power even under difficult conditions.
Newgate's Commitment to Palestine:
Newgate is dedicated to providing the highest level of support to Palestine by offering competitive pricing, exceptional quality, and all possible facilitation. Furthermore, Newgate collaborates with us, the company's agents in Palestine, around the clock to achieve success and create a remarkable success story in occupied Palestine.

MICROBIOME SKINCARE:
HOW SKINCARE PRODUCTS THAT SUPPORT THE SKIN'S MICROBIOME ARE REVOLUTIONISING SKIN HEALTH
Understanding the Skin Microbiome
The skin microbiome is a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live on the skin's surface and within its layers. These microorganisms include beneficial bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even mites, which together contribute to the skin's health by performing functions such as pathogen defense, immune system modulation, and maintaining the skin's barrier function.
Historically, the skincare industry has focused on eradicating all bacteria from the skin, under the assumption that this would prevent infections and blemishes. However, this approach can disrupt the skin's natural balance, leading to a host of skin issues, including dryness, irritation, and even acne. Recent research has shown that a balanced and diverse microbiome is essential for healthy skin.
The Rise of Microbiome Skincare
The growing awareness of the microbiome role in skin health has led to the development of microbiome skincare products. These products are designed to support and enhance the skin's natural microbial environment rather than disrupt it. By promoting a healthy microbiome, these products aim to improve skin conditions, boost skin resilience, and provide a more holistic approach to skincare.
The Science Behind Microbiome Skincare
The skin microbiome contributes to skin health in several ways:
1. Barrier Function: Beneficial bacteria produce substances that help maintain the skin's barrier, protecting against harmful pathogens and environmental stressors.
2. Immune System Modulation: The microbiome interacts with the skin's immune system, helping to regulate inflammation and prevent overreactions that can lead to conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
3. Pathogen Defense: By occupying ecological niches on the skin, beneficial microbes prevent the colonization of harmful pathogens.
4. Skin Condition Management: An imbalanced microbiome has been linked to various skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, eczema, and atopic dermatitis. By restoring balance, microbiome skincare can alleviate these conditions.
Key Ingredients in Microbiome Skincare
Microbiome skincare products typically contain ingredients that either support the growth of beneficial microorganisms or directly introduce beneficial bacteria to the skin. Key ingredients include:
1. Prebiotics: These are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. In skincare, prebiotics like inulin and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are used to nourish the skin microbiome.
2. Probiotics: Live beneficial bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, can be applied topically to enhance the skin's microbial diversity and balance.
3. Postbiotics: These are byproducts of probiotic bacteria that offer skin benefits, such as antimicrobial peptides and enzymes, which can help fortify the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
4. Microbiome-friendly Formulations: Products free from harsh preservatives, sulfates, and antibiotics that can disrupt the microbiome are essential. These formulations are designed to maintain or restore the natural microbial balance of the skin.
Clinical Evidence Supporting Microbiome Skincare
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of microbiome skincare products. For example, a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science found that topical application of probiotics significantly reduced the severity of acne and improved skin barrier function. Another study in Nature Medicine highlighted how prebiotic ingredients can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, leading to improved skin hydration and elasticity. These findings underscore the potential of microbiome skincare to address a range of skin conditions and enhance overall skin health.
Enhanced Skin Barrier Function
By supporting the skin's natural microbial environment, microbiome skincare products can strengthen the skin's barrier, making it more resilient to
environmental stressors, allergens, and pollutants.
Reduced Inflammation and Sensitivity
Products that support the microbiome can help regulate the skin's immune response, reducing inflammation and sensitivity. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions like rosacea, eczema, and sensitive skin.
Improved Skin Conditions
Microbiome skincare has shown promise in managing chronic skin conditions such as acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. By restoring balance to the skin's microbiome, these products can alleviate symptoms and improve skin appearance.
Long-Term Skin Health
Unlike traditional skincare products that may provide short-term benefits, microbiome skincare promotes long-term skin health by maintaining the skin's natural balance. This approach can lead to more sustainable and lasting results.
Industry Trends and Market Insights
Growing Consumer Awareness
Consumer interest in microbiome skincare has surged, driven by increased awareness of the importance of the microbiome in overall health. This trend is reflected in the growing number of microbiome-focused skincare brands and products entering the market.
Innovation in Product Formulation
The skincare industry is witnessing a wave of innovation as companies develop new formulations that are microbiome-friendly. This includes the use of advanced delivery systems to
ensure the stability and efficacy of probiotics, as well as the incorporation of novel prebiotics and postbiotics.
Regulatory Considerations
As the microbiome skincare market grows, regulatory bodies are beginning to take note. Brands must navigate regulations around the use of live bacteria in skincare products, as well as ensure the safety and efficacy of their formulations.
Future Directions and Challenges
Personalized Skincare
The future of microbiome skincare lies in personalization. Advances in microbiome research and technology may soon enable personalized skincare products tailored to an individual's unique microbiome, offering even more effective and targeted treatments.
Research and Development
Ongoing research into the skin microbiome will likely lead to the discovery of new ingredients and formulations that can further enhance skin health. However, challenges remain, including the need for more extensive clinical trials and a better understanding of the long-term effects of microbiome skincare.
Consumer Education
Educating consumers about the benefits of microbiome skincare is crucial for the growth of this market. Brands must effectively communicate the science behind their products to build trust and drive adoption.
Conclusion
Microbiome skincare represents a significant shift in the approach to skin health. By focusing on supporting the skin's natural microbial environment, these products offer a more holistic and effective way to achieve healthy, resilient skin. As research continues to uncover the complexities of the skin microbiome, and as consumer interest grows, microbiome skincare is poised to become a cornerstone of the skincare industry. Brands that invest in this emerging field are likely to lead the next wave of innovation in skin health.
7 SURPRISING SOURCES OF PROTEIN
Protein is a critical macronutrient essential for building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes, and supporting overall health. While meat, eggs, and dairy are well-known sources, there are many other foods packed with protein that might not be as commonly recognized. This white paper explores seven surprising sources of protein, offering a broader perspective on how to meet daily protein needs through a diverse and balanced diet.
1. Spirulina
Spirulina, a blue-green algae, is a powerhouse of nutrients and one of the most protein-dense foods available. Containing about 57 grams of protein per 100 grams, it surpasses even meat and eggs. Spirulina is also rich in essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. It’s commonly consumed in powder or tablet form, often added to smoothies or health drinks.
2. Nutritional Yeast
Nutritional yeast, a deactivated yeast often used in vegan cooking, is another hidden gem of protein. With about 8 grams of protein per 16-gram serving, it’s a versatile addition to various dishes.
Nutritional yeast also boasts a complete amino acid profile, along with high levels of B vitamins, making it a popular choice for those on plant-based diets.
3. Edamame
Edamame, young soybeans, is a snack that packs a protein punch. A one-cup serving of edamame provides approximately 17 grams of protein. In addition to being a good protein source, edamame is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious addition to salads, stir-fries, or enjoyed on its own.
4. Buckwheat
Buckwheat is a whole-grain superfood that offers an impressive protein profile. Unlike many plant-based proteins, buckwheat contains all nine essential amino acids in the right proportions, making it a high-quality protein source. It is particularly rich in lysine and arginine, two amino acids that are often limited in other grains. Depending on the variety, buckwheat can have up to 25% protein content. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to boost their protein intake through whole grains. Buckwheat can be used in various dishes, from breakfast porridge to salads and side dishes.
5. Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, are not only a crunchy, satisfying snack but also a significant source of protein. A quarter-cup serving provides about 7 grams of protein. They are also rich in magnesium, iron, and healthy fats. Pumpkin seeds can be added to yogurt, oatmeal, or salads for an extra protein boost.
6. Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a dairy product that often gets overlooked as a protein source. A half-cup serving of low-fat cottage cheese
contains approximately 14 grams of protein. It’s also low in fat and high in calcium, making it a nutritious choice for breakfast or as a snack, paired with fruits or vegetables.
7. Green Peas
Green peas might be small, but they are surprisingly rich in protein. A one-cup serving of cooked green peas provides about 8 grams of protein. Peas are also high in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, contributing to overall health. They can be easily added to a variety of dishes, including soups, stews, and casseroles.
Conclusion
Meeting daily protein requirements doesn’t always require traditional sources like meat and eggs. By incorporating these seven surprising protein sources into your diet, you can enjoy a diverse range of nutrients while supporting muscle health, energy levels, and overall wellness. Whether you’re following a plant-based diet or simply looking to diversify your protein intake, these foods offer versatile and nutritious options.
