1-Minute Tip: Floss your teeth and help keep your gums healthy as your breath fresh. Only 30% of us floss daily, yet it’s one of the easiest things you can do to preserve your dental health – and maybe even help your heart health as well!
5-Minute Tip: Mix up a bowl of overnight oats for a hearty and healthy breakfast in the morning. Just combine some oats, fruit, nuts, chia seeds, peanut butter, or other nutritious ingredients in a mason jar, add milk, and refrigerate overnight. Delicious!
