These days it takes more than just an apple a day to keep your teeth healthy. Plaque buildup can quickly lead to things like cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. To help keep your teeth strong and healthy, here are 5 secrets to keeping plaque from forming:
1. Brush daily.
Brushing regularly is a major part of your overall dental well-being. Brushing at least once daily will suffice, but the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends brushing a minimum of twice a day. This helps remove plaque and deters future plaque from forming. For best results, be sure to use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush your teeth, tongue, gums and inner cheeks.
2. Use mouth rinse.
Although the two terms are commonly interchanged, mouthwash and mouth rinse are actually two different products. Mouthwash is used primarily for purposes of freshening breath. On the other hand, mouth rinse is designed to reduce the amount of bacteria in the mouth. This helps stop plaque formation.
3. Floss often.
While flossing may not be your favorite thing to do, it has some great benefits. Cleaning the space between your teeth on a regular basis can have a huge bearing on your oral health. If you have difficulty reaching certain parts of your mouth, ask your dentist to recommend some alternatives. Floss aids, inter-dental brushes and air-flossing devices can be used for these purposes.
4. Visit the dentist regularly.
In addition to detecting plaque buildup and cavity formation, the dentists at Westmount Dental Centre, or similar high quality dental clinic can help you make a plan to combat gum disease. Depending on how well you care for your teeth, your dentist may recommend visiting more or less frequently. Generally, most dentists recommend visiting twice a year for cleaning.
5. Stay away from sugary, sticky foods.
When it comes to your oral health, all foods are not created equally. Sticky, sugary foods often cling to your teeth and become difficult to remove. Snacks like granola bars, raisins and other starchy foods can harm teeth and cause tooth decay. If you must eat these foods, be sure to brush as soon as possible. The faster you are able to remove these foods from your teeth, the smaller the chance that cavities will develop.
Over time, plaque buildup slowly eats away at the enamel of your teeth. If left alone, this can lead to cavities and tooth decay. Developing good oral hygiene habits your best defense against these dental issues. Following these 5 simple tips will have you well on your way to strong oral health.
When it comes to anti-aging there really are secrets. That’s why some people walk around glowing with youth and a general appearance of wellness and wellbeing, and others seem to age before your very eyes, with tired skin, wrinkles and a general appearance of the advancing years.
Fortunately, you can be in on those secrets just by reading these great little snippets of information that we’ve collected from around the world.
Firstly, you may try to avoid smiling as you think it’ll give you wrinkles or ‘laughter lines’ – in fact, quite the opposite is true. A recent study was carried out where people of all ages studied thousands of photos and attempted to guess the age of the models, who were pictured with various facial expressions. Those who had neutral expressions were placed quite near to their real age, whilst sad or fearful expressions made subjects look older. Those who were smiling and happy were rated younger than their real age.
To look young, it’s also a good idea to look after your hair, as it can be a big giveaway when it comes to your age. As your hair becomes thinner, use some kind of volumising product, to help boost up the thickness of your hair and keep you looking young. You should also opt for lighter colours when covering greys, as darker colours show up thinner hair more severely. Use deep conditioning treatments when you wash your hair, to help fight against problems with dryness, that often come with older age.
Take care, too, of your eyebrows. If you have well-groomed and shapely eyebrows, it helps to frame your face, and it draws attention towards your eyes, making you look years younger.
Finally, make sure you cleanse and moisturise your skin. This will keep it healthy and gently glowing. Make sure you apply this both in the morning and at night.
Have you ever seen an older celebrity and wondered what their anti-aging secret is? Famous women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s seem to sashay down the red carpet, glowing with wellness and wellbeing and leaving us to wonder if it’s all thanks to plastic surgery, or whether there are some anti-aging and beauty tips that we can be in on. We’ve compiled a list of some of the youngest-looking older celebrities and found out their beauty secrets for you.
At 44, Cindy Crawford is glowing with youth and confidence. She says it is all down to grooming. At her age, she says, she can no longer get away with going out in any old clothes. She has to ensure that she is wearing a well-fitting outfit. She also gets her hair coloured regularly, saying that lustrous, rich hair looks very youthful (and also covers greys!) In addition to this, the celebrity keeps up to date with bikini waxes, manicures and pedicures.
Aged 46, Markiska Hargitay is strikingly youthful. She doesn’t like going to gym but says she does short exercise videos in her dressing room. She also credits a trampoline that she bought for her sun with helping her blast her heart rate up and burn calories.
Connie Britton is 42 and says that the sun has damaged her skin. Now that she is older and wiser she always uses a high factor sunscreen, which is also a moisturiser.
Stunning Susan Sarandon is 63 but looks much, much younger. She says that the secret to looking young is to not wear too much makeup, or you end up looking ridiculous. She goes for softer makeup and gentler tones now.
Model Iman is now 55, and actually credits gaining weight with her youthful looks. Being too skinny leads to you looking haggard in old age, she claims.
Diet and nutrition are some of the most talked about topics amongst men and women today. While this indicates that we are all focused on our wellness and well-being, we still see more of us being overweight more than ever before.
It could be that people are falling victim to a number of different myths about healthy eating. Misinformation is rampant in the diet sector and it can be hard to sort fact from fiction.
The first of these myths is that a calorie is just a calorie, and that losing weight is a simple matter of ‘calories in’ versus ‘calories out’. Calories are one thing to consider but different foods have different effects on the body, and our metabolism, blood sugar, hunger and hormones all have an effect on how we react to the foods that we eat. Eating 100 calories worth of broccoli does not have the same effect on your body as 100 calories of sweets!
Food that contains protein, healthy fat or fibre makes your metabolism work well and keeps you feeling fuller for longer, whereas food with starch or simple sugars will make your blood sugar spike and make your energy crash, leading to further eating. Therefore you should concentrate more on the food you eat than on the exact calorie content.
Going gluten free is also another common diet method. Some people are allergic to gluten, but some others think that by avoiding gluten they can shed the pounds, however that is simply not the case. Only six percent of the population has gluten sensitivity and fewer are actually allergic.
The reason that people lose weight by eliminating food from their diet that contains gluten is that these foods are coincidentally the kind of food that people tend to overeat, such as pasta, bread, crisps and so on. So basically, what you are actually eliminating from your diet is not gluten but overeating!
Do you lie awake at night, tossing and turning and unable to drift off? If so, you are not alone. Many thousands of people every year list ‘inability to sleep’ as one of their biggest health concerns. Not being able to sleep well can affect your wellbeing in every other area of life, and can also start to take its toll on your wellness, as your immune system can start to suffer.
Unfortunately, there is not one clear-cut secret to getting a good night’s sleep. What works for one person may not work for the next. All that we can offer is a selection of the best tips that we have collated from various sleep experts, in the hope that one of these will work for you and have you drifting off tonight.
Firstly, most experts highlight the need to prioritise sleeping the way that you would any other important health-enhancing habit (like eating well or exercising). You must prioritise sleep, build it into your day and schedule it.
You must follow a consistent sleep routine, in order to help your body understand the cues that you are about to go to sleep. Try to go to bed around about the same time every night, following a regular routine of brushing your teeth or any other nighttime rituals.
Contrary to how you may feel if you struggle to sleep at night, most experts recommend that you get up in the morning at a consistent time, and do not lie in. If you ‘catch up on sleep’ in the morning, you are merely creating the same problem over again for yourself the next night. Setting clear boundaries between ‘sleeping time’ and ‘waking time’ is vital, to help your body understand what it is meant to be doing, and when.
