According to the Academy of General Dentistry, the average person only brushes 45 to 70 seconds a day. Dr. Alpa Dalal at Dalal Dental Care recommends to brush for two minutes, twice a day for a healthy smile. It takes about 24 hours for plaque to form in the mouth and twice daily brushing and daily flossing disrupts the plaque. Those who brush two minutes, twice a day and floss at least once a day avoids getting cavities to form and thus a better oral health.
You also don’t want to overdo it. Brushing more than three times a day may not be ideal. Too much of brushing can wear down your teeth’s outer shell, called enamel, and damage your gums. The idea is to be gentle while brushing – don’t get down too hard with your brush, instead use a lighter touch. It doesn’t take a lot of force to remove plaque. If you use an electric brush, let the bristles do the work and just guide the toothbrush.

Art of Living’s Happiness Program
The start of a year is the best time to make a new beginning. Especially if your resolutions include discovering and fulfilling your true potential.
Through The Happiness Program you’ll learn practical and powerful techniques that will enable you to gain a greater vision of who you are and benefit you for the rest of your life. The centerpiece of The Happiness Program is Sudarshan Kriya, or SKY breathing meditation, a powerful breathing technique that uses specific, natural rhythms to not only release stress at the deepest level, but also balance and integrate mind, body and heart.
SKY breathing meditation may not be the only means to wellness in body and awareness in the mind, but it sure is one of the easiest techniques I know.
So effortless, it doesn’t require directing or ‘watching’ the mind, and always effective – even when mind is busy or upset. Ask about research conducted by 70+ published studies showing numerous benefits. Even better, find out for yourself why 370+ million people around the world practice it.

Spirituality & God: Discussion Group
As we are on the cusp of a new year, with new hopes and aspirations, we thought it may be a good idea to start a discussion group focused on Spirituality & God. This would be an informal discussion group, not particularly aligned to any belief system/guru/society or anything of that kind, but an open forum where :
– We can openly and freely discuss noble spiritual concepts and ideas of all kinds in a friendly and positive environment
– Discuss or share spiritual books, articles, videos, etc
– Ask questions/critique in a “non-threatening” and respectful environment
– Listen to spiritual experiences, share spiritual techniques/practices that worked
– Explore avenues to extend help to those in need around us
– And ultimately evolve as better human beings!
For now, we just call it as Neo-Spirituality..We just want to have fun talking & loving God, in a less “loaded” environment!
If this idea resonates with you and if you would like to meet up/discuss with like-minded individuals or share any content to the group, please send a note to spiritualityne…@g…com or join our FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1973648486243094/

Get Healthy Pleasanton! – Free bootcamp
Hey everyone, did you know that Pleasanton’s overall BMI is 27.9 ?!
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, this puts Pleasanton squarely in the “Overweight” category. We want to change all that. As lifetime Pleasanton residents, we know our great community is above such a mediocre standard.
Let’s set a great example for our kids so that we can lower their lifetime chances of getting diabetes, heart disease, low self-esteem, and other unhealthy stuff. Sign up at http://gethealthypleasanton.com/ to give your kids a great example today!
This FREE bootcamp will be held at Bernal Community Park on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 6am every week.
Pleasanton is a great community so we want to volunteer our time to run a two-week “Fat Furnace” bootcamp for the community as a whole!
To ensure a quality class for everyone involved, the bootcamp is limited to 12 participants – so please reserve your spot as soon as possible. For any questions, please contact at [email protected]. Any interested participants must sign a waiver, anyone under 18 years of age must train with a parent or legal guardian, and that includes teenagers.
