7 Superfoods for your Teeth-AARP
1.Tap water-Tap water should be your beverage of choice as much as possible, though you
should avoid the bottled variety as most don't contain fluoride.
2. Cheese-Milk and other dairy products such as cheese and yogurt are rich in both calcium and
phosphates, which help replace minerals your teeth might have lost when you've eaten other
types of foods.
3. Fruits and Veggies-It realy doesn't matter what kind, they're all good for your chompers.
They're all high in water, which helps wash away harmful acid and debris in your mouth, and
they're rich in fiber which helps to balance the sugars they contain and helps to clean your
teeth.
4. Lean proteins-Poultry fish, eggs and lean cuts of beef are all rich in phosphorus, a mineral
that helps stregthen your teeth by protecting and rebuilding tooth enamel.
5. Sugarless Gum-It's a saliva maker, which can help with remineralization. Why? The
increased flow adds more calcium and phosphate to your saliva,which will help strengthen
tooth enamel.
6. Nuts-They contain protein and the amino acid arginine, which has been shown to help reduce
the risk of cavities.
7. Green tea-It's rich in antioxidants such as catechin, which may reduce your risk of
developing gum disease. Minimize the sugary add-ons.

How to Drive Safely On Winter Roads
by James R. Healey, AARP
Here are some basics to keep you safe when the roads aren’t.
Check: Batteries weaken in cold. After three winters, yours might need replacing. Turn on the
headlights, then start the engine. If the lights brighten when the engine is running, your battery’s weak.
Make sure windshield washer fluid and engine antifreeze levels are full.
Be ready: Winter gear should include battery jumper cables, snow brush/ice scraper, cat litter or sand
to put under slipping wheels if you’re stuck, small shovel, flashlight and batteries, phone charger,
drinking water and snacks. Consider taking a container for bathroom use in case you get stuck inside the
car. Keep plenty of fuel in the tank in case you must run the engine to stay warm during delays. All-
season tires will handle light snow. For heavier snow, use snow tires or tire chains.
See: Clean the inside and outside of the windshield and rear window. Defrost and deice the windshield
before you drive instead of hoping the defroster will handle it as you drive. Wipe snow and slush off your
headlights.
Be seen: Keep your brake lights and turn signals as snow-free as possible. Use your headlights in
daytime to make your vehicle stand out from the drab winter background. Have reflective triangles
and/or a reflective vest to wear if you get stuck and need to exit the car for help.
Go gently: Trying to start too quickly, even with all-wheel drive or traction control, can leave you stuck
in place. Abruptly changing speeds — up or down — can cause the tires to slip and spin.
Stop properly: Your car or truck probably has antilock brakes (ABS). They keep the wheels from skidding
under hard braking. That lets you keep steering while stopping. If you were taught to pump the brakes,
forget that with ABS. Safety folks preach, “Stomp, stay, steer.” Stomp, hard, on the brake pedal. Stay on
the pedal, hard, despite vibrations or kickback. Steer around the danger instead of crashing into it.
Avoid skid row: If the back end of the car or truck begins to slide sideways on a slippery surface, turn
the steering wheel the same direction as the back end is moving. If it’s dancing out to the left, turn the
wheel to the left; if right, turn right. Otherwise you’ll turn the skid into a spin. Antiskid control, common
on most cars, helps, but it can’t prevent all slick-road skids.
Pack heat: Blankets or small candles in containers can warm the inside of the car if you’re stranded. If
you use candles, open a window slightly because candles consume oxygen and emit poisonous carbon
dioxide. If you keep the engine running to stay warm, also open a couple of windows a bit for fresh air in
case there’s an exhaust-system leak — also poison — that could seep into the car’s interior.
