  Quotes   “People always ask me If they need to be a trainer, and I say no, but you need to be aware of the impact of physical activity on our patients”    “Sedentary people have 4X more inflammatory proteins circulating their bodies”   “Any diseases that ends in ‘itis’ their flames are fanned by being sedentary”   “People who are physically active have permanently differentiated T cells”    “Our immune system is very much like the junk drawer…it gets clogged up”   “Viruses only like being present at certain body temperatures, if you are working out every day or second day the viruses are meant to flee, they no longer feel your body is home”    “People who are physically active have higher levels of beneficial flora in their GI tract”    “The more diverse the flora, the more beneficial the flora”    “More diverse flora, smarter more trained immune system”    “Patients love the fact that we look at the whole body, not just the mouth, head and neck"   Links   A Tale of Two Hygienists Website: www.ataleoftwohygienists.com    Dr. Uche Odiatu: http://www.druche.com/    Uche Instagram: @fitspeakers
