If you\u2019ve mastered these guidelines, here are three additional smart tips that may help improve your well-being:<br \/>\n<strong>Get more sleep.<\/strong> Keeping choosing to watch that extra episode or check your phone one last time rather than head to bed? A new study by the Journal of Sleep Research found that adults who consistently get six or seven hours\u2019 shut-eye for seven days a week have a lower mortality rate than those who get five or fewer hours of sleep.<br \/>\n<strong>Brush better.<\/strong> About four in five people over the age of 35 are affected by gum disease, according to new research from the European Federation of Periodontology. Gum disease is caused by a build-up of plaque along the gum line. When left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and a high risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. To better protect your teeth and gums, make sure to swap out your manual toothbrush for an electric one. Offering an amazingly effective yet gentle clean, Philips Sonicare\u2019s ProtectiveClean toothbrush is proven to improve gum health up to 100 per cent more than a manual toothbrush while removing up to seven times more plaque.<br \/>\n<strong>Eat less carbohydrates.<\/strong> Contrary to popular thinking, a new study from Hamilton\u2019s McMaster University found no association between eating more than the recommended amount of fat and developing heart disease or having a stroke. In contrast, people who ate a lot of carbohydrates (more than 60 per cent of their total calorie intake) were unhealthier than those who didn\u2019t. So, while moderation is key in any diet, pay less attention to low-fat or fat-free products and instead try cutting back on sugars and carbohydrates.<br \/>\n<em>www.newscanada.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to staying healthy, most of us understand the basics by now \u2014 eat right, exercise, don\u2019t smoke cigarettes and limit alcohol intake.
