Proper digestion is important to our overall health but we forget that digestion starts in the mouth with proper chewing. Nutritional experts say that each mouthful of food should be chewed forty times. If we do not chew our food properly, it passes through our digestive system in a chunk that essentially rots as it passes through our digestive system. Patients with dentures have 90% less chewing force. They tend to list “digestive problems” as health concerns and often need medications for these issues. Dental implants bite with a force similar to that of natural teeth and may resolve these issues.

Setting intentions is an incredibly powerful tool to switch from negative thinking to positive. Here are some examples of daily intentions that can assist you in 2022. *Be grateful for three things today – Gratitude has the power to change your life. Practicing it brings peace of mind and switches your mindset from lack to abundance. *I intend to bring abundance into my life – by setting an intention to bring abundance into your life, you set yourself up for a positive mindset. Reach out today to find out how to create the list for success!
