Healthy and fit leads to happier 50+ generation

(NC)—More and more people over the age of fifty are hitting the gym, hiking trails and other fitness venues to increase their active lifestyles, keep physically fit and improve their quality of life. It is becoming increasingly clear that the problems we once associated with aging are actually related to disuse of the body – and the baby boomer generation are becoming wise to this fact.

However, it isn't only about bigger biceps and quads. One part of the body that many people don't realize is directly linked to overall health is the mouth. However, good oral hygiene contributes to more than just an attractive smile and the elimination of bad breath. In fact, keeping your teeth and mouth clean can reduce the risk of heart disease and other medical conditions. In an effort to keep your mouth healthy, many oral healthcare professionals recommend incorporating a rechargeable power toothbrush into your daily routine, like a Philips Sonicare, which offers many advantages over regular manual modes.

“The Philips Sonicare FlexCare adapts to your oral care needs and is clinically proven to remove significantly more plaque,“ says Court Elliott of Philips Electronics, a global leader in personal care products. “Whether it's a power rechargeable toothbrush that helps improve oral hygiene, or a CFL light bulb that cuts down on energy consumption, Philips is dedicated to improving consumers' health and well-being.”

Generation 50+ are sweating to the oldies and continuing to keep their bodies in great shape. It is important for them – and everyone else for that matter – to remember to keep their mouths fit and healthy as well.
