Take a 1.5-litre — that’s over 2.5 pints — bottle of water to work with you, and try to finish it all by home time. It might involve a few extra toilet breaks in the day, but it’s worth it.

If you find this difficult, then remember that smoothies, juices and dried fruit all count. Although advice on how many portions of fruit and vegetables a day can vary from country to country, average recommendations tend to be between 5-10 portions a day. 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Opt for something that will release energy slowly — porridge and a handful of blueberries are a great option!

Write a shopping list and stick to it — and never shop when you’re hungry, as this is a fatal error that inevitably leads you to stuffing your shopping trolley full of junk! Check out these meticore reviews if you are trying to lose weight. 

Snacks can include fresh and dried fruit, wholesome cereal bars, rice cakes, low-fat fruit yogurts and wholemeal pitta and hummus.

Take the skin off chicken and trim the white fat off any meat. Also, try to avoid eating too many processed meats such as sausages and burgers (the fat’s not visible from the outside, but it’s certainly there).

It’s never too late to improve your health. That goes for oral hygiene, too. With proper oral care, you can reverse the signs of tooth decay, whiten teeth, and preserve your teeth for a lifetime. Here are 5 tips for better oral health.

Cut Out Bad Habits

If you smoke or use tobacco products, now is the time to quit. Use of tobacco products can cause stains on teeth, bad breath, and certain kinds of cancers. It’s not worth the risk. Quit now. Ask us if you need help. Another bad habit to cut down is sugar consumption. Sugar combines with bacteria in your mouth to create plaque and tartar. This leads to tooth decay and gingivitis. Be sure to keep your sugar consumption to a minimum.

Brush Twice Daily for Two Minute Sessions

Many people rush through brushing each day on their way to work or school. We know you’re busy, but that’s no excuse when it comes to your dental routine. Brushing less than two minutes each time isn’t adequate. Set a timer if you forget. Most electric toothbrushes will automatically turn off after two minutes.

Floss Every Day

We know this is a lot of patients’ favorite step to skip. Flossing teeth is the only way to get to those in between areas of your teeth where food particles lurk and can cause damage. Be sure to floss every day with string floss to keep your teeth healthy for life.

See Your Dentist

According to best dentist Omaha, skipping a dental appointment means that your teeth aren’t being adequately cleaned twice a year, which is the recommended amount. At your routine checkup, we’ll do a thorough examination to make sure there are no dental problems that need to be addressed. We’ll also clean and polish your teeth. Who doesn’t want polished teeth and a beautiful smile?
