The Surprising Weight Loss Talents of Floss

How many of you brush off your dentist’s comments about flossing every time you have an appointment? Well it’s time to pay attention!

A Glamour magazine article reveals that not only does flossing protect healthy gums and teeth, but it can actually be beneficial to losing weight.

The inflammation in your gums and teeth from not flossing has a direct impact on your metabolism, so get to it! It’s a small step to take, and a big price to pay if you don’t take it. 

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) is a collaboration of national public service organizations, professional medical associations, and government agencies working together to promote breast cancer awareness, share information on the disease, and provide greater access to services. Since its inception more than 25 years ago, NBCAM has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of breast cancer issues and has evolved along with the national dialogue on breast cancer. NBCAM recognizes that, although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished. 

Today, we remain dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health. Although October is designated as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NBCAM is dedicated to raising awareness and educating individuals about breast cancer throughout the year.
