Floss For Longevity

Floss daily to lower inflammation and reduce risks for Alzheimer's, heart attacks, and strokes.
Consistent flossing and good toothpaste use also prevent cavities and bad breath.

ADVICE

Treat saying yes to yourself as voting for your self-belief and financial growth.

INSIGHT

Exercise Is A Multi-System Gamechanger

Exercise reduces inflammation, supports immune cancer surveillance, and builds dopamine receptors for motivation.
Even short bursts (e.g., four minutes high intensity) can significantly lower cancer risk and improve mood.
