My habits are non-negotiable for a healthy lifestyle (and how to impact your oral health
Posted in :
Taking care of my health is not something I leave for later; it is part of who I am as a person and as a professional. These are my daily habits—personal, not business-related—that help me become the best version of myself.
- Constant hydration
Drinking enough water is essential for everything: energy, digestion, skin… and for maintaining adequate saliva production.
Why does it matter? Saliva protects teeth, neutralises acids and helps prevent cavities.
- Physical exercise: weights, cardio and mobility
Moving my body gives me focus, energy and emotional well-being.
And your mouth? Regular exercise reduces inflammation and stress, which can also help decrease bruxism.
- Skin-care routine, day and night
Cleansing, hydrating and protecting my skin is not only about beauty; it reminds me that I deserve self-care. A consistent routine helps you connect with yourself.
- Mindful eating and gut health
My rule: protein at every meal, sugar and gluten in moderation, healthy fats and real foods.
Why is my diet important for my teeth? A diet high in sugars is linked to a higher risk of dental caries. In addition, a healthy gut microbiota influences many systems—including the oral microbiota.
- Sleep routine
Sleeping well is not a luxury; it is health. Habits such as eating dinner early, reducing screen time at night and thorough oral hygiene (brushing and flossing before bed is non-negotiable) have a positive impact on brain, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hormonal, muscular and oral health.
- Medical supplementation
The priority is always to learn to eat a balanced diet. Once that is in place, seek professional advice on supplements such as vitamin D, prebiotics, probiotics, omega-3 and magnesium—nutrients that may be scarce even in an excellent diet.
- Environment & emotions (they count, too)
Emotional health affects everything: hair, skin, stomach—and even your teeth!
Personally, prayer helps me process emotions, stay present and maintain hope, faith and love. It doesn’t give me a life without problems, but it helps me live better.
Conclusion
Your oral health is inseparable from your overall health. Everything you do—what you eat, how you sleep, how you move—is reflected in your smile. Taking comprehensive care of yourself is the best way to prevent disease inside and outside the mouth.
