Happy Love Life Could Mean Healthy Teeth

Couples, take note. Being in a trusting, secure and loving relationship could boost your oral health, a new study has found. Researchers at University of Queensland in Australia discovered a strong link between the health of a person’s love life and their teeth. What researcher discovered was that those who try to avoid emotional intimacy, or are worried their partner would leave in time of need, were more likely to have negative oral health. They also have higher levels of self-reliance, distrust other and avoid seeking support. They said people in love had more confidence in relation to their teeth, appearance and rated their teeth better. Initially researchers thought economic factors would have a big influence on people seeing a dentist but they found that having a love life where you trust the other person and have higher self-worth leads to better dental visiting habits.

1 In 4 Vacations Include A Hospital Trip

Have you ever had to seek medical attention during a vacation? You are not alone as a new US survey has found that one in four trips include a visit to hospital and many are simply not prepared for the situation. When you’re going on vacation the last thing you want to think about is a medical emergency, but with just a few simple steps, you can rest assured that you will be prepared for any situation. Researchers understand that we only get so many days off throughout the year and we spend a lot of time planning our vacations. But they see people every day who think they can manage their conditions only to wind up in the ER, which ruins the trip for everyone involved. Researchers said if you are dealing with a medical issue at the time of your trip or if you have a chronic condition, be sure to carry pertinent information with you. Make a list of allergies you might have, take photos of your prescriptions and upload images to your phone like X-rays, MRIs or EKG results. It’s great if you have those things, but it does no good if we can’t get to it. Make sure your phone is unlocked and the information is readily available. One of the most common mistakes, researchers said, people make is that they run out of their medications in the midst of their vacation. Getting a refill in an unfamiliar place can be a challenge and going without you medication is never a good idea, so be sure you have enough to cover the duration of your trip. Some people don’t want to be responsible for ruining everyone else’s fun, so they don’t just keep quiet. That can be very dangerous, especially if someone is having symptoms like chest pains or dizziness that can be sign of something serious. So, if something doesn’t seem right, speak up immediately.
