Benefits of Quitting Smoking
What happens after you quit smoking? After 1 day: the risk of heart attack begins to decrease.
After 2 days: a person may notice a heightened sense of smell and more vivid tastes as their nerves heal.
After 1 month: in as little as one month, the person’s lung function begins to improve. As the lungs heal and get stronger, the capacity will improve. Former smokers may notice less coughing and shortness of breath, and snoring may even improve. After 1 year: after one year of quitting, a person’s risk of coronary heart disease is reduced by half.
Eating with New Dentures
Learning to eat with new dentures can be a challenge, but with the right guidance and patience it is possible. Start with soft foods and chew slowly (this will help to avoid biting your cheeks or tongue). Purees, boiled eggs, fish, applesauce, soup (especially at this time of the year) are a great starting point. Also, it may be difficult to judge food temperatures correctly because of the insulating quality of the dentures. Touch the food or beverage to your lips before putting it in your mouth. Perseverance is the key and keep your denturist updated if any problems occur.
Blocking Blue Light
Blue light emitted from the sun is essential to your body. However, exposing your eyes to the artificial blue light from computers, smartphones and other digital devices may keep you awake at night and causing eyes strain. Blocking UV and HEV (high-energy visible) light is critical for your eyes against cataract and age-related macular degeneration. Ask your trusted eye care professional about blue light blocking lenses available to you. Our tip: If you are working on your laptop, tablet or smartphone long hours, we recommend giving your eyes frequent breaks by looking into the distance often.

What’s Keto All About?
You have more than likely heard about Keto, Ketones, or the Ketogenic Diet. Ketosis is a metabolic state that causes your body to switch from using glucose (sugar) as its primary source of fuel to running on ketones (fat). A ketogenic diet (consuming high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrates), fasting for extended periods, or simply consuming exogenous ketones can improve mental clarity, sleep, energy, fat loss, appetite control, mood, immune function, blood sugar, metabolic function, and exercise recovery. Talk to a health provider with keto diet experience if you have any questions about the lifestyle and its benefits.
