🌴 Coconut hybrids may be high performers, but if they’re not cared for properly, their productivity can drop after just 15–20 years. When nuts, husks, and leaves are removed without replacing nutrients, and when no fertiliser is applied, hybrids can leave the soil tired and depleted of the minerals and organic matter our farmers depend on.

🌱🤲🏽 By giving your hybrid palms proper nutrition and good management, you’re protecting both your harvest and your land for the next generation.

How does smoking damage my gums and teeth?
• Healthy teeth need healthy gums. Smoking reduces blood flow to the gums, which both causes and hides the signs of gum disease. In fact, many smokers are not aware of how much gum disease they have.
• Gum disease is both the inflammation of gums, and the loss of bone and tissue which surround and support your teeth. With no support, teeth loosen, become wobbly and cause pain, and may have to be extracted. Gum disease the major cause of adults losing their teeth.
• If you smoke, you are about three times more likely to have gum disease than a non-smoker.
• Smokers can also have more tooth decay than non-smokers. The ni****ne in to***co reduces saliva flow and some smokers can get dry mouth symptoms. The saliva of smokers is sometimes thicker which can mean it does not protect the teeth as well.

What effects does smoking cause in my mouth?
• The most noticeable immediate effects of smoking are stained teeth and tongue, gum discoloration (also called smoker’s melanosis), changes in the look of the roof of the mouth (palate), bad breath and a loss of taste and smell.

• Smoking can also cause or worsen gum disease (also called periodontal disease) and increase your risk of mouth and lip cancer.
