Quotes of the Day

A toothpaste’s ideal ingredients would be nonabrasive silica, enough sodium fluoride to strengthen teeth, and no glycerin. In the late 1950s, the original Crest formulation passed randomized clinical trials and showed it could stop cavities before they start. It has been my toothpaste of choice for three decades. If you have gum recession, be sure to avoid any toothpaste that contains glycerin, salt, peroxide, coconut oil, or baking soda, since these can upset biofilm health by dissolving its foundational proteins. If you have a dry mouth or sensitivity, my advice is to avoid all the pastes advertised for sensitive teeth. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

In one small study, 2,000 IU a day of vitamin D (in the form of vitamin D3) for four months led to increased telomerase by around 20% compared to a placebo group.

It can be hard to get enough vitamin D from diet and sunlight alone, depending on where you live, so this is a case when you may want to consider supplements. [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn

Couples also need to make sure they are in sync on important lifestyle choices.

It is extremely important to be able to talk about what your expectations and feelings are in these five areas: money, sex, children, core values, and social life. [2006] - Pepper Schwartz

The Law of Concentration: Whatever you dwell upon, grows and expands in your life. [2004] - Brian Tracy
