How to Stay Young and Healthy!



Whether you're 5 or 50, your health depends on awareness of what is good for you. With all the fad diets, advertising, and ingredient lists, we at Braces by Souris know it can difficult to decide what is good for you and what is not.




For straightforward guidance on how to live a healthier lifestyle, we recommend Brush Your Teeth! And Other Simple Ways to Stay Young and Healthy by Dr. David Ostreicher. The book sums up good health in six fundamental principles: hygiene, diet, attitude, exercise, sleep, and personal safety.




Using his three decades of experience as an orthodontist and professor of health and nutrition, Dr. Ostreicher answers age old debates like, the best way to prevent colds and flu and many more. He offers straight talk on a variety of diet choices including salt, fats, carbs, and organic food, and he documents the importance of regular sleep, stress reduction, and positive thinking to your overall health. His suggestions are simple, clear, and inexpensive.




Dr. Ostreicher advocates a back-to-basics, common sense approach to staying young and healthy. We couldn't agree more, and we want to repeat the title of his book as our favorite piece of advice: don't forget to Brush Your Teeth!
