We often talk about the food that is harmful for our waistline, our health etc… but often fail to discuss the food that can damage our mouth, teeth and tongue.There are a lot of foods that can damage our teeth and the interiors of our mouth. If you want to limit your dentist visits, its time you started attention on what you put in your mouth.
Here are five things that would make any dentist cringe if seen put in the mouth:
Ice
At all costs avoid biting into ice. Ice can cause a lot of tension to your teeth and the nerves that hold them in place. What’s more dangerous is the risk of cracking your teeth while biting into them.
Frozen candy bars
Some people love to chomp on frozen candy bars. Little do they know that biting into these frozen bars can strain the ligaments in their teeth and result in a fracture. Stick to melted chocolate unless you want to land up with cracked teeth.
Corn on the cob
Avoid biting into a cob directly. The silk strings of the cob are hard to get rid of and biting into the cob usually results in food getting stuck between your teeth and also causes damage to your gums. Better chop off the cob and enjoy them in that form.
Men are Destroying their Sperm
It’s not only women who suffer from infertility problems. Men are also the victim to fertility issues. The sperm plays an important role in fertilization. The lifestyle people lead today lead to the disintegration of the quality of the sperm and its production.
Here are some issues that affect his sperm levels:
Keeping their phones in the front trouser pockets
All of us know the ill effects of radiation emitted from our phones and yet we choose to keep them in our trouser or jeans pockets. It’s not all talk but research that has proved that the radiation emitted from our phones kill the sperms in his pants. So if you are worried about fertility issues, remind your guy to keep his cellphone elsewhere.
Excessive smoking
Smoking is bad for the overall health. It even affects the sperm in a negative way. Smoking apart from reducing the sperm count also prevents it from moving around.
Stress
Stress affects all our bodily functions including the production of sperms. According to a recent study, the sperm either doesn’t get produced or even if it does exist does not have the ability to travel. Rule number one for all couples who are having fertility issues is ‘to keep the stress at bay’. You reduce your chances to get pregnant drastically by taking a lot of unwanted stress on your body.
Heavy drinking
The more you drink the worse the quality of the sperm you’ll have. Drinking in general reduces the overall health of your body. So try and control the amount of alcohol you consume in a week.
Eating Tips for Runners
Runners need to take extra care of the food they eat. They cannot just eat each and everything that comes down their noses. Healthy eating is a must for runners if they want to get the best and perform the best while running.
Here are some tips that runners need to consider to adopt in their eating habits:
Go on an empty stomach
Sometimes it’s just best to go workout on an empty stomach, especially if it’s in the early morning. The exception to this rule is if you are going to do an intensive workout lasting more than one hour. So if you stay hydrated, there is nothing to fear in going to work out on an empty stomach.
Timing
Timing is the key. While you may need fuel to work out, you should not overstuff yourself just before a workout. You should give your body some time to digest the food unless you want to suffer from digestive issues. Do not eat food that is rich in fiber just before a workout as fiber takes time to digest. Carbs are the best friend of a runner. You need them to give you the energy needed for a workout.
Hydrate
Do not forget to hydrate. Drink lot of water. You need to compensate for all the water you lose while working out. Water flushes out all the toxins from the body along with repairing all the damage done both internally and externally to your body’s cells. Drinking water also helps you curb your hunger. Try to drink at least 2 liters of water a day.
Tips to make your Soup Healthier
Every meal should start with soup. It serves the purpose of filler before you start on the main course. Sometimes soups are made with heavy cream and other fattening produce. Just because you skip these unhealthy options doesn’t mean that these soups will taste any less good.
Here’s how you can make your soups healthier without compromising on the quality of the taste.
Substitute cream with pureed vegetables
Usually cream is added to the soup to make them taste delicious. Instead of adding cream, why don’t you try adding puree of vegetables such as potatoes, pumpkin or even chickpeas? Adding these vegetable purees will not only make your soup thicker but it will also add a unique flavor.
Toppings
We all love the crunchy element that comes in our soup. Crackers and soup sticks taste great but we can get to enjoy it better if we add an extra nutritional element to it. Try adding crushed nachos or toasted whole wheat toasties to the soup for that crunchy element. For a creamy topping you can try low fat Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Vegetables
The simplest and easiest option to making your soup healthier is just to add a bowl of vegetables to it. You can make a clear soup more interesting by adding a handful of chopped spinach or arugula.
