Treat Your Teeth With Care
It's no secret that sugar causes cavities. Candy
and sugary treats are often the first to be blamed,
but sweetened drinks also play a part. Plaque, a
sticky bacteria found on your teeth, feeds on sugar
from food and drinks, producing an acid that
dissolves tooth enamel, which causes cavities.
Sweetened drinks are especially troublesome if
they're sipped throughout the day because
your teeth are constantly being exposed to
the enamel-dissolving acid.
What can you do?
Choose unsweetened
drinks like water, low-fat milk,
or unsweetened tea
Brush and floss your teeth
after eating or drinking
If you can't brush, rinse your
mouth with water

Drink More Water
Drinking water is a great way to
satisfy your thirst. It's calorie-free,
inexpensive, readily available, and
plays a vital role in the functioning
of your body. Heat, humidity, and
physical activity can increase your
fluid needs. If you're physically
active more than 90 minutes,
choose a sports drink that will
replace electrolytes lost through
sweat. Any activity less than 90
minutes, stick with water.
