Want a good five minute exercise
that may contribute to your overall health? Go brush your teeth.
I am the possessor of a new
silver toothbrush, courtesy of my dentist. That dental visit yesterday may have been as good a
contribution to my health as the spin class I took. It was certainly less sweaty!
Here is a link to the Mayo Clinic’s information on the topic. It’s not
a long article, but for the truly impatient, here is the summary. Good oral hygiene may prevent a whole
bunch of bad stuff from happening to you, ranging from Alzheimer’s to
osteoporosis. Worst case, you get
fresher breath, which is not bad for your social relationships, mood, and state
of wakefulness.
So: up, down, side-to-side. Give me about 100 reps.
