2. Don't brush your teeth immediately after drinks and meals.

It's best not to brush immediately after eating or drinking this is because  acidic foods like sports/energy drinks, can drinks, citrus fruits/juices, tomatoes and more contain acid that can soften the tooth enamel and brushing means acid effect might be fast affecting your enamel and the layer under it!

Experts suggest waiting at least 30 - 60 minutes before brushing after eating or drinking.

3. Drink water when you feel bloated

When you feel bloated, drink more water! Where some people think drinking water might make the condition worse, it actually relieves it because when you stay dehydrated for instance, the body survives strongly on the water the body have causing the discomfort so sometimes, water may be all you need to get back comfortable.
