Basic dietary and lifestyle improvements, especially as they relate to snacking, are drastically easier to make when you don't have a decade's worth of bad habits holding you back. I wish I'd started cutting back on pops and energy drinks and chips and chocolate at 22 instead of waiting until I was 32 years old and pre-diabetic.
Also, fucking floss. It's not bullshit, and it's not a scam to help Big Dental sell you flavoured string. It's a real thing you should actually do. Especially if you're like me, still eating like a fucking teenager into your 30s.
I got on the water flosser bandwagon a few years ago, and it has changed my life. I used to HATE flossing, simply because the string floss method takes forever (absolutely deserved if you call me out for impatience here!). I now have a water flosser, and floss just about every day.
If some of you don’t know, you may brush every day, but people can tell if you don’t floss. The in between the teeth stink is very distinct, and brushing does not get rid of it!!
+1 on water flossers! I got a Smile brand one because it was a decent price and it works great.
