Annette Fredskov is a 41-year-old woman in Denmark who received a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis a few years ago.  Rather than let the disease defeat her, however, she chose to take up marathon running and actually ran a marathon every single day for one year, and just for good measure, she ran two marathons on the final day!  That’s 366 marathons in 365 days.  She went through 20 pairs if running shoes in the process.  She no longer has any symptoms of MS and no longer takes any medication.  What an inspiration she is for all of us to take control of our health and our bodies!  Certainly, we have a lot of control over our dental and systemic health: good home care (brushing and flossing) is important for dental health.  Similarly, diet and exercise are very important for our systemic health.
