Does a healthy mouth equal a healthy heart? Could better brushing and flossing make the difference? The answer is yes.

Periodontal and gum disease are diseases of the supporting tissues of your teeth.

Why weight loss plans fail

Thu, Mar 08, 2018

I am regularly asked why weight loss plans fail. I can simplify it by saying it is all in the mind. Eating certain foods or doing certain exercises just for weight loss is unsustainable. The reason being, once you have achieved the number on the scale, or your body looks a certain way, the motivation will dwindle. If you do not like what you are doing, or you are forcing yourself to live a certain way, then your attitude is wrong. Your reasons are not strong enough and you are setting yourself up for a fall, and a lot of guilt and frustration.
