The next time you eat cranberries, remember that they form a shield of sorts over your teeth to protect them from stains. They are said to prevent plaque buildup, which always means for less scraping when you go to the dentist. Yogurt is another natural food that can actively help your mouth stay healthy. Yogurt helps to restore the proper pH level in your mouth, which is important because when the level drops below 5.5, your mouth begins a demineralization process caused by increased acid in your mouth.

So… do something fun that benefits your health, as going for a run, biking, playing catch with your children.  Or floss your teeth!!  Ha. thought you could get away without a dental tidbit.

Thought you’d like to know. Plus, yawns are more likely to be passed among family members than friends or strangers.  Why? Empathy. So if one person yawns at the family dinner table, probably everyone else will too.  And then there is recovery time from the yawn, so if 10 people yawn x 6 seconds each and an added 6 seconds or so per person for recovery,  food could get cold.  And yawning can expose pearly whites, so take note.  ; )
