Curtis and his team of denture professionals are always committed to your dental health. Your denture or dental implants can give you a better and improved lifestyle. To support this healthier way of living, we often recommend some easy health hacks to our patients. Our recommendations take only a few seconds, and won’t require too much of your time and energy.
LOOK FOR INSPIRATION
Rely on daily inspirational quotes for strength and motivation. There are numerous apps that you can download on your cellphone or tablet. These apps allow you to log personal inspirational thoughts are events. It only takes a couple of minutes to log your thoughts. A daily dose of positive psychology can revitalize your body and soul.
Here is an example of a great app that could be used for inspiration and motivation:

IMPROVE YOUR POSTURE
Take the time to change your sitting or standing posture. If you sit at a desk for several hours during the day, consider investing in a sit-and-stand desk. An affordable and effective ergonomic desk can be found at our local Calgary IKEA.

If you’re sitting at a desk, make sure you sit up straight. You can remind yourself of that every half an hour or every time an email comes in your inbox.
STEP UP YOUR GAME
Instead of using the escalator or elevator, why don’t you opt for stairs? In addition, instead of parking close to the mall’s entrance, why don’t you park further away? These are great ways to increase your number of daily steps get the blood circulating.
SNACK WISELY
If you’re craving for a snack, pick up a fresh fruit. Avoid the per-packaged products and go for a juicy orange or some nuts.
NOTE: If you have just undergone dental implant surgery or received your new denture, it is best to avoid nuts, seeds, or hard-textured snacks. Instead, go for a yummy smoothie.
PUMP IT UP!
Get your heart pumping by doing some squats or jumping jacks. Speed walking will also get your heart pumping. Our suggestion: go for a short speed walking trip along the Bow River in Downtown Calgary. St Patrick’s Island Park also offers some amazing scenery and a really fun playground for little and big kiddos.
GO FOR CASUAL MEETINGS
If your professional meeting does not required a screen or projector, go for a more casual meeting by going for a short walk.
SET A TIMER
Timers are great and powerful daily health reminders. Many of us forget to do simple things, such as taking a multivitamin, or drinking more water. Setting a timer on your watch or phone can remind you to stretch, go for a walk, and take your daily multivitamin.
DAILY KEGEL
Commit to your kegel exercices at least three times a day. If needed, set a timer to remind you. Start with an empty bladder. You can sit or lie down. Tighten your pelvic floor muscles and tighten for 10 seconds.
