Less alcohol intake is better for your health than more. Men should limit alcoholic beverages to no more than 2 per day, and women should limit intake to no more than 1 drink per day. Alcohol consumption can increase risks for 6 types of cancer. Those who drink alcohol have a higher risk from all causes of death than non-drinkers.
Move more, sit less, every day. Get walking. It’s fun and easy, low cost, and no special equipment is needed except a pair of supportive shoes. Walking consistently as exercise may reduce risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, and may improve your mood. A ten-minute, brisk walk is enough to boost your energy and mood for one to two hours. When you return from a brief walk you will be more productive and focused for the rest of the day!
Signs of stress-related disorders appear in your mouth along with other areas of your body. Learn the warning signs and what you can do to reduce stress and its affects on your mouth and overall health.
