We’re constantly bombarded with health advice.
Well-meaning folks insist that to be healthy, we must do everything from extreme workouts to strict diets.
But what if there was a simple, painless way to significantly improve your health that takes just minutes a day?
Look no further than your bathroom cabinet…
Flossing your teeth might seem like a small, inconsequential habit, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, flossing’s impact on your overall health can be profound.
According to the 2019 Global Burden of Disease survey, untreated oral diseases caused people, aged 50 to 74, worldwide to suffer a collective eight million years of life “with disability” in 2019.
This staggering statistic underscores how critical oral hygiene is to maintain our quality of life as we age.
Flossing helps prevent gum disease by removing plaque and food particles from areas your toothbrush can’t reach.
But this simple habit has far-reaching health benefits beyond oral hygiene.
Regular flossing can reduce the risk of heart disease, help control diabetes, and improve overall health by lowering the risk of respiratory infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and even certain cancers.
Also, maintaining good oral health through flossing could help preserve seniors’ cognitive function.
Here are some tips to make it a consistent part of your routine:
- Floss BEFORE brushing to make it feel like an essential first step.
- Keep floss visible in your bathroom as a reminder.
- Try different types of floss (waxed, unwaxed, tape) to find what works best for you.
- Use floss picks or water flossers if traditional flossing is challenging.
- Set a daily reminder on your phone until it becomes a habit.
In a world of complex solutions to health problems, flossing stands out as a simple, effective, and accessible way to improve our overall well-being. It’s a small habit that can significantly impact your quality of life as you age.
So, the next time you’re tempted to skip flossing, remember that those few minutes a day could save you from YEARS of health complications down the road.
