Japenese scientists have recently developed a toothbrush which does not require the use of toothpaste.The brush cleans teeth by producing an electrical current inside the mouth which clears plaque from the teeth.
The PM or the "Proton Magnesium Toothbrush" has two metal discs inserted on back made of magnesium and copper.These discs interact with each other in the saliva creating a low voltage electric current which magnetizes plague away from teeth and kill bacteria which causes bad breath.It unleashes between .8 to 1.8 volts of electricity with a current ranging from 300 to 3000 micro amps.
The brush costs about US $12.

Insulin Linked Problem
You come across so many people today who are fighting with problems and dealing with disorders like high cholesterol,insulin imbalance,polycuystic ovaries and so on.The list is endless,but what is intersting is that these disorders are all linked to hyper-responsive insulin.
When we eat food that contains its own fibre,the body digests the food over time,slowly releasing chunks of glucose into the system.when the glucose is released,it triggers a rise in the homone called insulin,which uses the glucose.If the insulin rise is gentle,the body does well.But if the rise is sudden and very sharp,which typically happens with the consumption of refined food,then the side effects of high insulin levels emerge - weight gain.cholesterol problems,imbalanced blood sugar, and irregular cycles in women.

Lose Stomach Fat
If you have found that your stomach is a little more flabbier than it used to be,it's likely there are other parts of your body that have unwanted weight attached.But the stomach is often times the most noticeable.Your body cannot just eliminate fat in one area.So if you are trying to crunch your way to a flatter stomach without exercising the rest of your body and reducing your fat intake,you will never see results.
Start by doing cardio exercises to get that heart rate up and boost your metabolism.A good fast-paced walk or jog three times per week is a great way to accomplish this.
You should concentrate on your whole body but doing some exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles along with your normal exercises wont be a bad idea.Sit-ups is the best example of such exercises.After you are lying on the floor,try to pull yourself up by using your abdominal muscles only.Bending the knees during sit-ups helps neutralize the action of the hip flexors and makes the abdominal muscles work more.Sit-ups also can be hazardous to your lower back.It may create overextension and strain.When doing sit-ups,never push through back pain.Stop immediately.
