A Chewy Treat for Teeth


A Chewy Treat for Teeth
Research reveals that chewy raisins may provide special benefits to your choppers.
Phytochemicals in raisins appear to help fight cavities by inhibiting the growth of certain types of oral bacteria. Raisins also prevent the bacteria from sticking to teeth. Keep your teeth healthy by brushing and flossing every day, having regular dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings, and choosing smile-friendly snacks.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.


----------------------------------- ------------

Health and Diet:
Reenergize at the mall. Enjoy yourself while getting your daily activity. Park as far as you can from the store entrance. If using escalators, walk up and down them. In the grocery store, walk up every aisle with your shopping cart even if there's nothing you need there. Carry your own shopping bags to the car.


Fitness:
Whether you're a beginning, moderate or advanced exerciser, fitness bands or tubing can offer you a lot of advantages. You can achieve total body strength training. It's portable and easy to pack for on-the-road workouts. It adds variety to your workouts. It's inexpensive and it's a killer workout!


Health and Diet:
Play Ball! When you think about watching sporting events, do you think of hot dogs, peanuts and beer? You will be surprised. More and more sporting arenas are incorporating healthy food choices into their menus. How about ahi tuna sandwiches, corn-off-the-cob, crab cakes, and South American crepes? These are just a few of the hundreds of food options available to Major League Baseball fans.


Fitness:
You don't need anything fancy or expensive to start an exercise program. You can put one foot in front of the other and begin striding out the door. As a beginner, you can use body weight exercises without equipment.


Health and Diet:
Eat your veggies! Vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants to help ward off chronic diseases. Fresh is the best! Frozen and low sodium canned vegetables are also an option. Steaming is the ideal preparation method, but you can roast or sautee veggies in olive oil for added taste. Raw veggies provide a terrific low calorie, high fiber snack that is packed with nutrients.


Fitness:
The next time you are tempted to skip a workout put an image in your mind of how you will feel when you are fit and you have reached your goal. How will you look? How will you act? How will people react to you? What will your energy be like? Now think of the long-term consequences of skipped workouts versus consistent exercise.


Health at Every Size
Healthy living beats skinny living hands down.
In a recent study, obese women who focused on being healthy, regardless of their size, achieved greater long-lasting health benefits than women who focused on dieting. When you change your eating and exercise habits, make improving your health your primary goal, and take the focus off the bathroom scale.



RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that is low in calories and high in nutrients can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.

i wonder what they studied: eating raisins and not brushing and flossing or all...i think it would be interesting to know what the study methods and how they controlled it....wouldn't the sugar from the raisins stick to your teeth?
