10. Take Care of Your Oral Health
Your mouth is home for opportunistic bacteria. There have been many studies that corelate mouth and tooth problems with heart disease. It seems that excess bacteria in your mouth can find their way into your blood stream and then to your heart. Brushing and flossing can reduce the occurrence of bacteria by removing their food supply. Take time to visit your dentist for routine dental check-ups. Repairing any decayed teeth removes a source of germs in the mouth.
