Your teeth have a specific purpose, and it’s not to serve as a multitool. Opening packages, bottles, or using them as an extra hand can lead to unfortunate accidents and tooth damage. Engaging in such creative uses of your pearly whites is a recipe for disaster. It’s only a matter of time before you crack or break a tooth. Rather than risking your oral health, take the extra trip to find appropriate tools or locate a pair of scissors. By using your teeth for their intended functions, you can maintain a healthy, intact smile for years to come. Don’t jeopardize your dental well-being by treating your teeth as makeshift tools.

10 Things that Happen When You Quit Smoking
According to Cancer.org, after only 8 hours of your last cigarette, the oxygen levels in your blood increase. After 12 hours, your carbon monoxide blood levels drop to normal. After 2 days of not smoking, you’ll have heightened senses of smell and taste. 3 days later, your bronchial tubes relax and breathing may feel less labored than before. During the first 9 months smoke free, your shortness of breath will improve, and the tiny cilia hairs in your lungs will regain function, allowing your body to clean your lungs. After 1 full year, your risk of heart disease is about half compared with a smoker. After 15 years of being smoke-free, your risk of a heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.

Preventing Overdose through Counselling
Overdose has become a reality for many individuals and families. Many social issues have contributed to the rise in drug use. While harm-reduction efforts have been successful in many ways, it is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that works for everyone struggling. Counselling can be a support to those facing the possible impacts of substance use. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches to counselling may be helpful in avoiding overdose. For family members counselling with a qualified professional may help to support your loved one through addictions and avoid overdose. Don’t wait to speak to a trained practitioner. Call Angie today.
Outgrown Beliefs and Well-being
Beliefs formed in childhood often carry negative energy that affects us into adulthood. These outgrown beliefs can impose unnecessary stress, leading to physical pain and health issues. One common outdated belief is expecting others to think and act as we do, causing personal conflicts. Remember, everyone has unique experiences shaping their beliefs. If your actions clash with your old beliefs, it can lead to guilt and self-contempt. Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.) can help update these outdated beliefs, aligning them with your current reality to prevent future triggers. By addressing and synchronizing your beliefs, B.E.S.T. promotes better health and well-being.
