Health Tip #89: Stop your sugar cravings by brushing your teeth

Here's a tip for people with sugar addiction!

Whenever you get that strong sugar craving of yours, just go brush your teeth.

I've tried it myself and for me it does work. We all know how food tastes just after brushing your teeth - the same thing applies to candy and other unhealthy snacks!

Short term solution? Yes.
Better than any solution?
YES!

Hi, just tried this brushing teeth method. I'm impressed. It works! Until someone offered me a nice chocolate cake that ruined everything! LOL But I admit it does work, especially if I make sure there is no sweet food right in front of me.

Leo said...

Foongpc,
That's awesome!
Yeah, the best would probably be to be at home without any temptations in order for this to work! :)

Thanks for sharing and letting us know!! I really appreciate it! :)
