Don’t Reach for the Coffee 3 NATURAL WAYS TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY WITHOUT CAFFEINE
If you can’t start your day without your daily cup — or cups — of joe, you’re not alone. More than 450 million cups of coffee are consumed by U.S. residents every day, and unfortunately, heavy caffeine consumption may not be healthy. (It’s a big reason why celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, and Kim Kardashian don’t drink it!) Moderate amounts of caffeine can improve your mental health, and some studies suggest it could even prevent some chronic conditions. However, there are major downsides to overconsumption, which equates to more than four cups of coffee each day. These can include high blood pressure, addiction symptoms, and decreased mentality. If you want to break out of the caffeine cycle and reduce how much coffee you drink, try replacing that cuppa with one of these methods! Stretch After lying in one position all night, your body may feel stiff and achy. Stretching awakens your muscles and helps you break out of that groggy morning feeling. Start with your back and do some slow core twists. Then, sit on the floor and lay your legs out in front of you. Stretch forward, then sit back up. Next, position your right foot on the
opposite side of your left knee. Keeping your hips centered, turn your torso toward your right foot so that your right arm is on your right knee. Switch to the other side and repeat as needed. Finally, pull your head toward your shoulders to loosen your neck. Go for a Walk When you wake up in the morning, head outside! Movement stimulates your brain and improves your mood, and the act of walking is relaxing enough that it doesn’t require much effort on your part. Plus, it’s a great way to get your steps in, wake up slowly, and get outside before a busy day. Just Breathe This might sound like it will lull you to sleep, but there are actually some breathing techniques that can help you wake up! The “breath of fire” is a rapid-fire breathing technique, during which you inhale deeply, exhale deeply, inhale deeply again, and then exhale quickly. Repeat this as needed. Other practices that focus on breathing, like yoga, can be effective, too.
Waking up isn’t an exact science, but once you find a healthy method that works for you, you may never need coffee again. (Gasp!)
‘ALL-ON-4’ DENTAL IMPLANTS EXPLAINED Get a Brand-New Smile With Just 4 Implants!
Does it hurt? Implants sound scary because the process entails inserting screw-like metal posts into your jawbone. However, today’s high-tech dental industry has come up with ways to make this procedure practically pain-free! It’s also quick — you can get your new,
Did you know that more than 36 million Americans are missing both their upper and lower rows of teeth, and millions more are missing one set? If you’re in this situation, you’re far from alone, and dentistry has created an ideal solution for you: the All-On-4 Dental Implants system.
Why get All-On-4? You may have considered implants in the past but rejected the idea because you were afraid you’d have to pay for one implant per tooth. Fortunately, this isn’t true! It’s actually not necessary to place an implant for every missing tooth. Implants act as a support for fixed bridgework, so one implant inserted into the bone can support multiple teeth. What does that mean for you? Well, with our All-On-4 Dental Implant system, we can strategically use just four implants to replace your full upper or lower row of teeth. If you’d like both rows replaced with beautiful, bright new teeth, that would require just eight implants — a far cry from the 32 implants you’d need if you got one per tooth!
radiant smile in just one day. Our patients tell us that the beautiful, lifetime smile they get is well worth the brief discomfort. As a bonus, implants don’t need any special care or require diet restrictions.
Are All-On-4 Dental Implants right for you?
If you’re missing a whole row of teeth and feeling ashamed, self-conscious, or unattractive because of it, All-On-4 Dental Implants will give you a reason to smile again. To find out if they’re the right option for you (compared to single implants or dentures), visit TexasSedationDental.com to book an appointment or call our offices in Longview (903-704-0154) or Tyler (903-251-2858).
