The weather is beginning to warm up and all the cars in the neighborhood are putting their tops down. It’s almost summer time, which means beach season is right around the corner. You want to have the best body you can for that new two-piece you have in the closet, which is an admirable goal. Dieting can be tough, but there are some simple changes you can make that not only will help you drops the pounds, but also keep your smile healthy. Here are a few tips to have your body and smile beach ready.
Dump The Sodas
Sodas are absolutely awful for you and your teeth for a multitude of reasons. Sodas contain nearly 200 calories per serving along with a huge amount of sugar, which is terrible for your diet. Besides the sugar rush you might get, sodas are high calorie drinks with absolutely zero nutritional value. They’re also extremely bad for your teeth, containing sugars and acids that eat away at their enamel, leaving them vulnerable to decay and infection. To replace the “bite” and fizz of soda you might begin to miss, try drinking a carbonated water instead.
Drop The Desserts
Most desserts, just like soda, contain heaps and heaps of sugar and calories, which can stretch your waistline and eat away at your teeth. When you have the need for something sweet, try chewing on a piece of sugarless gum. Sugarless gum can curb your appetite for sweets as well as help improve your breath and teeth as long as it’s a gum that has the ADA seal of approval.
