Snacking in between meals is a great way to promote cavaties (and extra pounds), but it’s unavoidable for people who exercise or just play hard. If you’re doing any intense physical activity for longer than 30 minutes, you probably need to eat or drink something besides just water. Whether this is a sports drink or a power gel it’s going to be hard on your teeth.
IRONMAN.com has a great write up by two-time Ironman Champ DR. Tom Evans on how to take care of your teeth while you train.
Lots of these tips are helpful for couch snackers as well… Hey, if you’re going to be tons of fun, you might as well have pearly whites.
Find out how, after the jump!
