Last week, we focused on a few things you could change to reduce the amount of soda you drink. Welcome to our 8 part series on Knowledge isn't enough. This is our 7th part, and today we are blogging about Carbohydrates.
I know carbohydrates have recently gotten a bad rap, and it isn't their fault. All they do is hang out and provide us comfort when we are feeling down. However, the problem with carbohydrates is that they stick to your teeth.
- You don't need to cut all carbohydrates out of your diet; just reduce the amount you consume right before bed or before brush your teeth at night.
- Drink a glass of water after you consume them. If you eat carbohydrates for lunch, grab a quick glass of water to remove the food from the surface of your teeth. This is two birds, one stone; you're removing carbohydrates from your smile and drinking water.
- Replace one carb item with a fruit or vegetable on your plate—nothing too crazy, just a little less.
Your smile matters; if you have photos of your smile that you love and want to share, please reach out to us on Facebook. Or any of our other social media sites. #drjudystarutzYou can read our other blogs for this series by clicking on the links below. #drjudystrutz
