BRUSH UP ON
MINDFULNESS
Need more motivation to do
your daily meditation? Think of
your pearly whites: stress and
anxiety may cause gum disease.
Researchers believe increased
levels of the stress hormone
cortisol can lead to the erosion
of gums and jawbone. Practise
mindfulness while you brush,
and you’re laughing.
