Mental Yoga: A Six-Step Guide To Making Time For The Activities You Love

July 28, 2014 by Clean N Dry Today

Mental Yoga: a Six-Step Guide to Making Time for the Activities You LoveEverybody struggles with not having enough time. This is such a common issue that a lot of people have given up even trying to make more time for themselves.

However, there are certain methods you can use to make time for things you want to do.

1)  Identify All The Time Wasters

Everyone has time wasters. What are these? They’re just things people do that don’t contribute to their lives at all: they don’t help them relax, but they also don’t help them get things done.

Watching TV or surfing the internet are great examples of time wasters. These things can indeed help you relax. However, if you go overboard with them, you’ll find that all they do is consume your time.

Pay close attention to these things, and once you’ve identified them, make a conscious effort to cut them out. This will free up time for you.

2)  Start Scheduling Your Time

This works great for some, but not for others. Give it a try to find out if it helps you. After getting rid of time wasters, you should start planning out your time.

By doing this, you might find more time wasters that you didn’t know about before. Additionally, it will help you figure out exactly which things you should spend more time on than others.

3)  Group Activities Together

Regardless of whether scheduling works for you or not, you should think about which activities go together. Why? This will help you waste less time.

For example, when it comes to errands, running as many as possible on the same day is a better idea than spreading them out. You’ll spend less time going back and forth this way, thus freeing up time.

4) Take A Close Look At Your Routine

Many people have routines that they’ve fallen into. On occasions, these routines are not very time-efficient. If this is your case, start thinking of changing up your routine.

5) Saying ‘No’ Is Not Always Bad

If you feel obliged to constantly help out people in your life, maybe it’s time to stop. Helping others is great from time to time, but when it’s taking a toll on your life, it’s not all that good.

If you have an already-crowded schedule, and you just can’t seem to find time for yourself, think about cutting back on favors for others. Remember that you have a life you need to take care of first, before you can start helping others.

6) Get Distractions Out Of The Way

After having planned your activities carefully, ensure that you spend time doing what you actually planned on doing. If you planned to study, for example, but end up listening to music, it’s a sign that you need to change something.

Distractions are all around, so cutting out as many as possible will help keep on track.

Putting thought into your schedule will help you get more time to spend doing things you love. Whether that’s reading, meditating, running, or cooking, if you like doing it, it’s important. Your schedule should allow you the time you need to do the things you love.

Could Not Brushing Your Teeth Really Lead To A Heart Attack?

June 30, 2014 by Clean N Dry Today

Could not Brushing Your Teeth Really Lead to a Heart Attack?It almost seems absurd, how could poor oral hygiene cause heart attacks? Bad breath, maybe, and certainly a less than fabulous social life, but heart disease?

Oddly enough, it’s true; two separate studies have concluded that not brushing your teeth and practicing poor oral health can lead to a heart disease and in some cases, life-threatening heart attacks. The findings of these studies may surprise you.

Journal Of The Royal Society Of Medicine – Sugar Can Kill

The connection between a fatty, mostly junk food diet and heart disease has been well established, but now researchers have found that sugar may actually be one of the biggest causes of heart disease.

Junk food diets are high in sugar as well as fat and salt, and those who indulge in sugary carbonated drinks consume even more sugar.

The study linked poor oral hygiene and a diet high in sugar to periodontal disease. Chronic gum disease may instigate an inflammatory reaction that can cause atherosclerosis, more commonly known as hardening of the arteries.

How this causes heart attacks is that the arteries become less elastic due to the swelling and do not allow as much blood flow to and from the heart.

Society For General Microbiology – Brushing Away Bacteria May Save Your Life

The human mouth is a dirty place. Inside you’ll find bacteria, plaque, viruses, fungus and microbes, and that’s in a clean mouth. When you neglect your teeth and gums, you allow these creepy crawlies to flourish, and that’s a problem. If you want to live a long and healthy life, poor oral hygiene is a big problem.

A recent study by the Society for General Microbiology has linked bacteria that enter through the gums to heart disease. When you fail to brush your teeth and floss properly, the bleeding gums can allow up to 700 different types of bacteria to enter your blood stream.

These bacteria then stick to the tiny platelets in your blood, making them bigger and causing clots within your blood vessels. These clots can stop the blood from returning to your heart and can ultimately cause a heart attack.

This condition is treatable with a course of strong antibiotics but only if it’s caught in time. Chronic poor oral hygiene almost guarantees that you’ll have bacterial infection in your blood.

How To Ensure Proper Oral Hygiene

The first step in ensuring that your mouth, teeth and gums are healthy is to visit your dentist. This can be expensive if you don’t have health insurance, but you may need to decide what your health is worth and reprioritize.

Your dentist or hygienist will assess your gums and teeth and determine whether you have any type of cavities or periodontal disease. If they find something, you’ll be given a course of treatment.

You should also be sure to brush and floss regularly to keep your gums and teeth as healthy as possible. If bleeding gums have been a problem for you in the past, consider adding an anti-bacterial rinse to your daily oral hygiene routine.

We have known for years that healthy eating and exercise can help prevent heart disease and heart attacks, and now we know that maintaining your teeth and gums may also help you lead a longer and healthier life. If you keep your teeth and gums in tip-top condition, you’ll be on track to keeping your heart in good shape as well.
