Latest fads for a perfect smile 😄

Latest fads for a perfect smile by Sarah Jebreil


Probiotics are the craze these days because with our super clean-living habits (including eating food out of boxes), our microbiomes are not balanced. Our ancestors used to eat less processed food and have less cleanly living conditions, which allowed for less gut imbalance and more bacterial flora within the body. Bacteria: gross right? In reality, bacteria contributes to flawless skin, thin physique and fresher breath. Scientists have found that bacterial imbalances in the GI tract, which start in your mouth, can contribute to a whole host of issues.



According to Dr. Amy Myers' interview with Goop, studies have shown that anxiety, depression, and weight gain can be transferred via fecal transplants, suggesting the broad impact bacteria has on health. About 60 to 80 percent of our immune system lives in our gut. Imbalances in the gut’s microbiome (which is primarily made up of bacteria) lead to digestive issues, while many other potential effects can be felt throughout the body—from feelings of fatigue to depression, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity, and a host of skin issues. Conditions like rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, and acne are really inflammatory conditions, and often a manifestation of something that is happening deeper within the body.


When you fix the gut, skin issues often resolve as well. In addition, the tip of the GI tract, the mouth, has a whole host of its own bacteria that can become imbalanced and cause periodontal disease, decay and halitosis. Studies thave shown that with proper probiotic supplementation, the oral conditions can diminish.


So, which supplement is right for you? It is recommended to take one with 30 billion CFU, but if you are going to be taking or are taking antibiotics, it's important to up your dose to 100 billion CFU. Also, be sure to read the fine print, because when we taking CFU, choose 30 billion CFU at the time of expiration.

It is also important to look for SBO probiotics or Soil Based Organisms because they are more resistant to the GI tract acids that cause the bacteria to become inactive by the time they reach the gut. If you have a leaky gut or are immunocompromised, it is important to consult with your doctor prior to taking an SBO probiotic.


While it is difficult to overdose on probiotics, you may notice bloating and discomfort if you do take too much, therefore always take the recommended dose and back off if it is too much in the beginning. Also trying to incorporate fermented foods into your diet is a great way to get started as well. A shot of Apple Cider Vinegar or Kombucha are great ways to start integrating more probiotics into your diet easily.


Your GI tract starts at the mouth, therefore keeping the entry point clean is of utmost importance.

When you neglect your oral health, no matter how many supplements you take, they will not be able to circumvent the inflammation and disease you pass with each swallow to the rest of you body.


Another hot trend? Oil pulling, the ancient Ayurvedic process of detoxifying the mouth, teeth and gums. The oil attracts bacteria and pulls it out of the tissues and teeth as you swish it around. It is thought to improve skin clarity, asthma, and arthritis. Also, the process of swishing the oil around for 20 minutes is excellent facial yoga and can actually improve muscle tone as well. Start with a teaspoon of coconut oil, such as Skinny and Co because it's raw and has a hint of peppermint. Begin swishing the oil around your mouth, pulling in in and out of your teeth and swishing into all corners of the oral cavity.

Spit out the oil and use a WaterPik, followed by a toothbrush to remove residue. Results are not seen overnight, but within a minimum of 2 weeks, you will start to see results in your complexion, facial tone and oral health, and while at first 20 minutes can seem exhausting for those facial muscles, within no time they will build up stamina. http://www.sarahjebreildds.com/

Flo Fusion Energy Drink - Celsius


.Disclosure: Aproducts were sent on behalf of Celsius for review purposes only!  All opinions are completely honest. There are no affiliate links within this post.

Go ahead and ditch those energy drinks! YOU know- those that are filled to the brim with sugar and calories. You definitely won't be needing OR wanting them anymore. The Flo Fusion Pre-workout Drink gives NATURAL vitamin induced energy AND tastes amazing (+ non-gritty YAY).. Choosing won't even be an option once you get a taste of how juice like it is. It's even tastier than flavored water.

Celsius has partnered with international multi platinum and Grammy nominated music sensation and fitness enthusiast, Flo Rida, on the latest Celsius product – Flo FusionCelsius Flo Fusion is powered by scientifically tested, calorie burning MetaPlus®. This means that Celsius Flo Fusion is clinically proven to burn fat, enhance metabolism and burn 100 calories and more with every serving.

 Simply mix one scoop or packet of Celsius Flo Fusion into 12-16 oz. of water and drink 15-20 minutes prior to training. For best results, use Celsius Flo Fusion as an energy drink before exercise in combination with a healthy diet.

 Celsius Flo Fusion is the perfect, healthier alternative to the plethora of sugar filled, high calorie options on the market. 

Celsius Flo Fusion also contains 100% of the daily serving of several vitamins and minerals. The B-Vitamins found in Celsius Flo Fusion are not only essential for metabolism and energy production; they also help support your adrenal glands, which aid in recovering from fatigue. Vitamin C supports your immune system and Biotin assists in breaking down fats and protein. Chromium helps control hunger by normalizing healthy blood.



As a mom, it just makes SENSE for me to choose Flo Fusion. You know children are energy siphoning midgets, right? I don't even want to THINK about how much money I've spent on overpriced energy drinks and supplements. The cheapest ones are 2.00 per can.. yikes~! Flo Fusion can be bought on Amazon + Free Shipping for .88 per serving instead.

I LOVE that iT tastes pretty darn good. Usually health drinks and shakes aren't so thoughtful of taste unless they ARE crammed with sugars. No more sacrificing taste for health. You'll want MORE + it'll help you drink more water.
