important to have your hearing tested on
a regular basis. Early detection is key to

Mouth Health
Your mouth can tell a lot about your
overall health. Investing in your oral
health is also investing in your general
health. There are several conditions
that are linked to oral health including
endocarditis and cardiovascular disease.
When bacteria from your mouth—or
other parts of your body—spread
through your bloodstream, they can
attach to your heart, causing an infection
in the inner lining called endocarditis.
Research suggests that poor oral health
is linked to clogged arteries and stroke as
well.
Keeping tabs on your oral health is
critical for warding off bad breath and
poor health. It is important to brush at
least twice a day, floss, eat a healthy diet,
replace your toothbrush every three to
four months, and avoid tobacco use to
maintain a healthy mouth. Visiting your
dentist for regular cleanings can also
ensure that oral hygiene is at its best.

cardiovascular exercise, you’ve got it
made for a healthy body. But have you
ever thought of staying positive as a way
