You may think you can hide a missing molar, but a missing front tooth is im possible.

HAND STRENGTH: Long-accepted as a biomarker for overall health.
HAND strength has always been tied to general well being. A person’s grip is also a biomarker for overall health owing to its links with many other health related variables. These include bone
mineral density, nutrition, cognitive impairment, sleep problems and quali ty of life, according to Richard Bohannon, author of ‘An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults’. An earlier 2015 study, which monitored nearly 140,000 older adults over four years, found that a frail grip was related to higher incidences of heart attack, stroke and cardio vascular disease. The researchers also found that it foretold the likelihood of early death more effectively than blood pressure.
Plane sense IF your summer break entails flying, avoid cof fee and remember to drink enough water. Planes can dehydrate you because half of the air circulating in the cab in comes from the out side. When you’re at a higher altitude there is hardly any moisture in the air. Eat something light, like a salad and fruit. Avoid salty fast food, es pecially before flying, as this can cause bloating and more dehydration. Avoid coffee too and stick to fresh juices and water.
Footnote QUESTION: What part of our bodies do approxi mately 75 per cent of us fail to wash when show ering? Answer: Our feet. Health authorities in the UK and the US are urging people to pay more attention to their feet and to scrub them with soap on alternate days at least. Regular washing can help to avoid fungal in fections, like athlete’s foot, and problems with toenails, they said. These are increasingly common worldwide as they become resistant to medication, doctors ex plained.
All change THIS week’s conflicting alcohol news comes from a Massachusetts General Hospital re search team in the US. After analysing data involving more than 50,000 Americans, they found that an occasional drink lowers stress, which is linked to heart attack and stroke. They concluded that women who drank one alcoholic beverage a day and men who drank two had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems than teetotallers or those who drank more.
