Are You Getting Enough!

With summer in full swing we wanted to offer you a quick tip for your body, your appearance and your oral health.
Don't wait until you're thirsty... Drink More Water Now!
Your body is made up of more than 70% water. From your organs and joints right down to your cells, water is used for almost every bodily function. Your body is using water right now while you are reading this eNewsletter!
Being properly hydrated makes your skin appear softer, younger and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Water helps to cleanse your body of toxins, increases your concentration levels and decreases daytime fatigue.
Water rinses bacteria from your mouth as you drink, helping to fight decay as well as freshen your breath. Even if you think you are drinking enough water, chances are you are currently not. Get up and drink a glass of water, your entire body will thank you! |

Recent studies show considerable links between heart disease and oral health.
In particular, gum disease and tooth loss may be good predictors of future heart disease.
The Theory is:
Mouth bacteria - which cause gum disease - enter the bloodstream through the inflamed gum tissues. The resulting effects eventually end up in the same plaque associated with heart disease.

Black Bean Veggie Burger
 A burger doesn't always need to go in a bun. A burger can be eaten on a salad, on a pile of grains or just alongside some steamed veggies.
If you've decide not to serve your veggie burger on a bun you can put it in a bowl with steamed veggies, nuts, or anything you would like to add. You can get as creative as you want and just throw a whole bunch of things together and you have yourself a whole foods, balanced meal.
Making a homemade veggies burger is also a great way to get in some healthy nutrition and fulfill that urge to eat something that is burger like and has a "meaty" or rich texture. By meaty, I mean (hearty/grainy) so in this case you can use grains, beans, root veggies, nuts and seeds and not even have to go the length of using a faux meat or soy based substitute to get that "patti or juicy burger" option. There are many natural options!
So the next time you want to get a little creative and make a burger and throw it in a bowl - make sure to fill both the burger and the bowl up full tasty and nutritious ingredients!
