Quotes of the Day

Happiness increases with income, but only to a point. For example, according to the Purdue study, North Americans who earned $105,000 a year reported higher levels of life satisfaction on average than those who earned $60,000 a year. But those who earned more than $160,000 a year reported lower levels of happiness on average than those who earned $105,000 a year. Research reveals that materialistic people tend be far less happy than nonmaterialistic people. The Purdue researchers also surmised that the added responsibility and time commitments of higher-income jobs can take time away from what people enjoy most: connections with friends and family, healthy amounts of sleep, hobbies, and physical activity, for example. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

The suggestion to brush your teeth immediately after a meal may sound logical to some people, but not if you understand that your mouth is almost always acidic after a meal. It can take about an hour for this acidity to dissipate. This is why some dentists tell their patients to wait an hour before brushing. If you brush acid- softened enamel, it will easily be abraded or worn. In my opinion, the best solution is to use xylitol at the end of meals. If xylitol is not available, an option would be to have a tooth-protective food like whole milk or cheese or to rinse the mouth with water to wash away the acidity. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
