6 Healthy Habits For Living Longer

We at Dr. Scheier's office are committed to helping our patients look and feel great. We've discussed the connection between oral health and heart health, but even between your visits, there are many ways you can start building healthy habits and living longer! A recent article from askmen.com highlights 6 easy habits to get started with. One of them is a habit that we preach to http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifour patients every day!

Exercise- some studies suggest that daily exercise can add as much as three years to your life

Eat a Healthy Breakfast- while eating healthy in general is always a great rule to live by, a balanced breakfast is an important part of feeling and being healthier.

Get Enough Sleep- While there is still some debate over how much sleep we really need, sleeping less than seven hours a night can lead to major health issues.

Brush and Floss Daily- A tip we tell our patients every day, your oral health is truly a critical part of your overall health too!

Stay Social- A healthy social life spent with friends is another important factor to a healthy lifestyle that many people overlook.

Drink Enough Water- While the jury is still out on the "eight glasses a day" rule, the message is still a good one.

Hope these tips help!

How to freshen bad breath, from Dr. Mitchell Scheier

Dr. Mitchell Scheier, your Havertown dentist, recognizes that many of our patients are concerned about bad breath, or halitosis. While some cases of bad breath are persistent (chronic bad breath), generally bad breath is transient, and can be prevented.

We recently came across this helpful video about bad breath and thought it was worth sharing with our patients. The video explains what might cause bad breath and some ways that it can be avoided. In most instances, bad breath can be prevented by practicing common oral hygiene techniques that you have probably heard us emphasize during a visit to Dr. Mitchell Scheier Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, such as brushing and flossing daily. We encourage you to watch this video for additional tips on how to keep bad breath at bay. Enjoy!

Whether you are headed to a barbecue, a camping trip, hitting the great open roads or hanging out in your backyard this weekend, we want to know about it!
