ANOOP SAYAL Family and Cosmetic Dentistry located in Georgetown Marketplace Mall Q:How can I get rid of bad breath? a:It's everywhere. Buy this and prevent footodor; buy that and avoid body odor. It's no surprise that bad breath is socially unacceptable. Every year, advertisers spend millions to sell their mouthwashes for bad breath. You must understand that using a mouthwash for chronically bad breath can actuallymask periodontal, or gum disease. Diseased gums and tooth decay are the two most common causes of bad breath, or "halitosis." If you smoke, you're not only more likely to have bad breath, but also to get periodontal disease. Eating strong foods, like onions and garlic, is rarely the real cause of chronic bad breath. If you must, a saltwater rinse can be used instead of a mouthwash. You may have guessed by now that the best way to keep your breath fresh is by daily brushing and flossing, and keeping regular dental checkups. Your gums need your help in this so they can fight off plaque and deposits. 71 Mountainview Rd N Georgetown 905-873-8729 www.healthspan.ca Q: Infertility rates are on the rise with an estimated 1 in 5 Canadian couples now experiencing trouble conceiving. Chinese Medicine has gained much positive attention for its ability to enhance fertility. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or are using assisted reproductive techniques, Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help you prepare not only for conception, but also for a healthy and successful pregnancy. The ways in which Acupuncture can enhance fertility include: reducing stress, improving circulation to the ovaries and uterus, and balancing hormones. This is evidenced in medical research that supports the incorporation of Acupuncture into IVF protocols and other assisted reproductive technology techniques. This week of May 19-28 represents Canadian Infertility Awareness Week; an important week for patients, families, governments and communities across Canada to reflect on the challenges many face to have children. It is a time to recognize those struggling with fertility issues by offering support, compassion, and awareness. For further information on whether Chinese Medicine can address your reproductive health needs, please contact Carolyn at cdew@ healthspan.ca or check out her website at www.carolyndew.ca. a: Can Acupuncture and TCM help with my fertility? BPHE, RAC, RTCMP SPORTS How to get more distance & consistency Congratulations to Chris Kirk, who won for the fourth time on the PGA Tour at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial Country Club. Chris's coach on tour is Scott Hamilton, who also coaches Boo Weekley, Brendon Todd, Harris English and Russell Henley. Hamilton uses a number of tools to help him show the best players in the world what they are doing in their swings including video and launch monitors. Another tool that he uses is a pressure sensitive BodiTrak mat that allows players and Scott to see exactly how the player is using the ground throughout the swing to create power and consistency. In my teaching, I find that my students are consistently asking me how to get more dis- tance and more consistency in their swing. The answer is in how you use the ground to create the proper sequence in your swing. I use a BodiTrak mat to help them see that, whether they are making a swing with their driver or chipping greenside. Imagine under hand tossing a bean bag into a hoop from 15 feet. You can use just your arm to toss the bag in the air and hope it hits the hoop or I would argue the more efficient way is to allow your weight to transfer from back foot to front foot and use the whole body to swing your arm in the direction of the hoop. Try swinging the arms and club to the tar- get with your body instead of hitting the ball with your hands and you will create better contact which should equal better distance and dispersion in your shots.
