sparkling white teeth in 2 minutes

                                A shining set of sparkling white teeth can make anyone appear more attractive, healthy and younger. Many people avoid smiling in public because they are self-conscious about the poor color of their teeth.   The first step, if you want to steal the look of all and open the doors of the world, is maintaining good oral hygiene. We give you the perfect home remedy you should utilize if you want to whiten your teeth in two minutes.

                     

• Baking Soda

Baking soda is one of the best ingredients that you can use to get rid of yellow teeth. It will help remove plaque and make your pearly whites shine.

Mix a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with a little toothpaste. Brush your teeth with this gritty mixture and rinse with warm water. Use it once or twice a week.

Alternatively, you can combine baking soda with lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.

You can make a whitening mouthwash by mixing one tablespoon of baking soda and one and a half teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with one cup of cold water. Rinse with the mouthwash two or three times a day.

You can also scrub your teeth gently for at least two minutes with diluted baking soda. Do this twice in the first week, and then every 15 days. It is essential to note that excess use of baking soda can strip your teeth of its natural enamel.

• Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is one of the best things in the world! It’s a great ingredient for face masks and for whitening the teeth. But what makes it so special? Activated charcoal is oxidized charcoal. It is very porous and attracts chemicals and toxins like a magnet! It’s known to be safe on the teeth since it only removes the bad stuff and leaves the good minerals on your teeth. Plus, it gets rid of bad breath too

• Salt

 

Salt is one of the fundamental dental cleansing agents that has been used for ages. It helps replenish lost mineral content in the teeth and helps revive their white color.

You can use common salt regularly each morning as a tooth powder instead of toothpaste. Another option is to mix common salt with charcoal and brush your teeth with it regularly.

You can also mix common salt with baking soda and gently rub it on your teeth.

Be extra careful using salt as it can cause damage to your gums and tooth enamel if used roughly

 

 

FIVE SIMPLE TIPS TO HELP FLATTEN YOUR STOMACH

FIVE SIMPLE TIPS TO HELP FLATTEN YOUR STOMACH

                         Flat belly you want. But when you want to shrink your belly as fast as possible, you need to rely on your body’s own internal belly-flattening mechanisms that can be activated in less than 24 hours. It can sound a little like voodoo, but there really are a handful of simple tricks. Bring your digestive system into balance.

                                At the week's end, you can use some style and posture tricks to help your stomach appear flatter for the big day, too.

Drink Water

Water is great for health, but it’s even better when you are trying to lose weight and flatten your stomach. This is because when you drink enough water, you are actually helping your system to maintain proper water balance which helps in reducing water retention, a major cause of bloated bellies. Water also makes us feel full and reduces overeating.

Start Your Day with A Smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to stay healthy and hydrated. When you make a smoothie with watermelon, you have the advantage of an amino acid known as arginine that's found in watermelon. A study in the Journal of Nutrition found that arginine can decrease body fat and increase lean muscle mass

A pineapple smoothie piles you up with bromelain’, an enzyme that helps break down protein and banishes bloating.

Stay Away From Alcohol And Carbonated Drinks

We are not trying to be party poppers by suggesting that you stay away from your favorite beverages. Alcohol is not your friend if you want a flat tummy because it induces your body to store more of the fat you eat. And that’s not all; it also makes you burn about 36% less fat than you would when you are alcohol-free.

 Ginger Tea Helps

Ginger helps calm your GI tract and can help reduce bloating. Add some fresh, grated ginger to your green tea or boil some chopped pieces of the root to make ginger tea.

Avoid carbonated and fermented beverages

When it comes to belly bloat, carbonation is king.  These innocent little bubbles decide to take up residence in your intestinal tract and then become trapped and gas builds up.  If belly bloat is an issue..your best (and super healthy  choice)move is to eliminate all sodas – diet too.
