Dr. Karishma Vijan

When Naomi Osaka, the world-renowned tennis champion, decided to not give press interviews at The French Open citing her mental health, she had been threatened with severe repercussions and had been reprimanded for her actions. “One needs to understand that the concept of health is not impervious to mental, social, emotional, and spiritual factors,” says Dr. Karishma Vijan, the Ace Dental Surgeon & Holistic Health Expert and the founder of ‘The Quintessence Smiles’ India’s first preventive, cosmetic reconstructive studio in Bandra West Mumbai. An imbalance will occur when even a single one of these elements is not being tended to. Is Naomi not physically fit? Of course, she is! Being a world tennis champion, she is physically strong but she prioritized her mental and emotional health and that says a lot regarding the misconceptions about health being associated with physicality. Only when the aforementioned factors work in harmony, can it be said that a person is leading a healthy lifestyle.

The 1984 definition of Health as proclaimed by the World Health Organization:
“A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or deformity .”

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle in today’s fast-paced world is difficult and you might have trouble understanding where to even begin from. Hence, Dr. Karishma Vijan has shared a few tips that can help boost one’s health & immunity. Dr. Karishma Vijan is one of the few dentists in the country to have successfully disrupted the Indian Dental Sector and established a unique name for herself with her Quality dental brand “Quintessence Smiles By Dr. Karishma Vijan’’. She has been featured in the list of ‘100 Most Impactful Global Healthcare Leaders' at the World Health & Wellness Congress 2019 by ET Now for her contributions.

Dr. Karishma shares 3 tips that could help improve your health and boost your immunity:

1. Oil Pulling
An ancient Ayurvedic therapy, oil pulling helps in maintaining oral hygiene. In oil pulling, a tablespoon full of coconut oil is swished around the mouth for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you can spit it out and proceed with brushing your teeth. Oil pulling is said to have many benefits including improving your immunity, as it reduces inflammation and removes toxic overload in your body, improves your gum health, bidding adieu to bad breath, and even helping in the prevention of cavities.

2. Teeth Cleanup
Plaque, a sticky film that forms on your teeth when food particles mix with saliva, could result in gum disease such as gingivitis. Deep Cleaning thereby removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar, thus, improving gum health, strengthening the roots of your teeth, and also eliminating bad breath.

3. Green Leafy Vegetables
A staple to every person’s diet, green leafy vegetables should form a part of your meals. Infused with vitamins, minerals, and particularly antioxidants, a diet rich in leafy greens could substantially reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity & cancer. They also help in lowering high blood pressure. Thus, make greens, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, and several other leafy vegetables your best friends.

“Sustenance of a healthy lifestyle is key to a life filled with happiness, bliss, and reduced medical expenses. Thus, start cultivating good habits and propagate them so everyone around you can enjoy the benefits of healthy living”, says Dr. Karishma, the recipient of WEF 2019 prestigious ‘Iconic Women Creating a Better World for All’ award. She has been invited as a speaker at Plenary Sessions at the annual international gathering gala edition for the Women Economic Forum, 2019. Having been named as one of the 'Most Inspiring Women in Healthcare across India', Dr. Karishma aims to revolutionize health care for women of all strata with conspicuous importance to oral and preventive care that has been neglected extensively through the decades.
