Foods That Are Bad For The Teeth

When it comes to having strong healthy teeth, there are certain foods that are recommended to be good and healthy. However, there are also certain foods that are considered bad for your teeth. So if you want to have those stronger and healthier teeth, avoid the following foods.

- Candies. Anything sweet is actually not good for your teeth. However, you can still eat candies and chocolates in moderation and make sure that you either brush or gargle with mouthwash right after eating.

- Alcoholic beverages. This may seem to be a strict rule to you but alcoholic beverages in indeed bad for the teeth as they are very acidic. These kinds of drinks dissolve your enamel.

- Coffee and Sodas. As much as these drinks are really good to the taste, these can also be a contributing factor to the damage of your teeth. Coffee and sodas dry out your mouth and reduce the production of saliva. And as you know, saliva is a very helpful agent in killing bacteria inside your mouth which can cause tooth decays.

These are three of the most common foods that are considered bad for the teeth. You can, of course, still have one of these every once in a while but just make sure that you rinse or gargle right after eating or drinking.

The World’s Lightest Untethered Active Cooling Garment

Did you know that prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in high temperatures can cause your body to overheat? If your job exposes you to extreme heat, your body temperature can rise to 40 C or higher. If this happens, you have a greater risk of experiencing heatstroke.

The Solution – CO2 cooling vest

To avoid heat exhaustion, one solution provided to workers expose to heat like cook, welders, construction workers, fire fighters, emergency responders, etc is a protective wear with active cooling system.

Among the best ones is the Porticool Personal Cooling System by Porticos. This active cooling garment that uses refillable liquid CO2 tanks takes advantage of both conductive and evaporative cooling based on the endothermic expansion of liquid CO2. While passing through miniature tubing in the vest, the liquid CO2 converts to gas and this is when conductive cooling happens. Evaporative cooling occurs when the gaseous CO2 gets redirected throughout the vest and expelled through porous tubing. This then helps evaporate the body’s perspiration and aids the body’s own ability to cool itself.

Weighing for only 1.8 lbs in total weight, Porticool II is considered to be “the world's lightest untethered active cooling garment.” It is also the only active cooling system safe to use in explosive environments. This active cooling garment can be worn inside of a fire thus protecting firemen from heat stress.

Men's Suit – How It Began

Suits are considered to be the most elegant attire for men. But did you know how these pieces of clothing started?

In the late 1660's
King Charles II ordained that when in an assembly, all men should be dressed in long coats or a jacket. From then on, this became a typical wear among men. Whenever they attend social gatherings, business conference, church event, etc. they had to abide by the dress code.
 
Men’s suit became increasingly popular as time progressed. Even those considered less affluent in the society keep one or two suits to wear on important occasions.

By the 20th century
Men’s suits were more standardized. This is because of the launching of a ready-to-wear manufacturing industry. Since then, the production of suits became an integral part of the men's clothing industry. And for many different occasions, men were expected to appear only in suits. You are considered half-dressed if you are not dressed in full suit.

Today
The fashion industry has several suit makers in fierce competition. When shopping for suits, you can never go wrong if you are equipped with the right knowledge about them. You have to make sure that the style, design, colour and fabric are appropriate for the occasion. For men's wedding suits, you should not sacrifice style, fit, or fabric tailoring. Spend your wedding day in an uncomfortable suit or shirt is a big NO. So pick a suit perfect to your body measurement.
