Secrets to Keep That Stellar Smile 
By Fran Kritz

Brushing carefully several times every day? That's great. But after a while, it's time to keep up the tooth brushing, but replace the toothbrush.

Change with the seasons
Experts from the Academy of General Dentistry recommend that you change your toothbrush before the bristles become frayed and separated, or about every three to four months. "A good rule of thumb is to change your toothbrush when it is no longer spongy and flexible," says Dr. Alan Zweig, a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry, and a practicing dentist in Los Angeles, CA.

Older toothbrushes are not only ineffective, but potentially harmful, as bacteria can also lodge inside and in between the bristles and cause cavities and infections.

Had a cold or the flu? Replace your toothbrush when you're better, so you don't reinfect yourself with germs left behind on your toothbrush.

HEALTHY RECIPES
Good Day Pear Crisp 
 
Epicurious | October 2010
by Tracey Seaman and Tanya Wenman Steel
Real Food for Healthy Kids
 
Pie for breakfast? Not quite, but the fragrance of this dish is so good that even the groggiest grouch will be lured out of bed. Look for ripe pears without bruises, and keep at room temperature overnight. Cut the butter in a thin slice off the stick for melting evenly.
 
Yield: Makes 1 serving
Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
 
Ingredients
1/2 of a ripe Bartlett pear
1 small lemon wedge
1 1/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon rolled oats
1/2 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Pinch of cinnamon
1 rounded tablespoon cottage cheese or plain whole milk yogurt, for serving
 
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Halve the pear half and core; cut crosswise in slices and place in a 6-ounce custard cup. Squeeze the lemon on top, add the sugar, oats, nuts, butter and then cinnamon and bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly and golden and pears are soft.
3. Let cool for 5 minutes and add a dollop of cottage cheese or yogurt.

Good Day Summer Crisp:
In late summer, follow the recipe substituting a ripe nectarine, a plum or two, or a juicy pluot (plum and apricot hybrid), pitted and sliced, for the pear.

Good Day Fall Crisp:
In autumn, use a small sweet-tart Royal Gala apple, but peel, quarter, and core the apple before slicing. Add dried cranberries, dried sour cherries, or raisins, as desired.

FITNESS TIPS
Medicine Ball Workouts 

Weighted medicine ball workouts can be a highly effective way to train your body. You can target almost every muscle in your body, producing gains in strength and flexibility. The range of motion allowed by the medicine ball makes it superior to many forms of resistance exercise, and with the added benefit of throwing, it is very effective.

Medicine ball workouts can be one of most efficient ways to improve your body when you have limited space and resources. They take up almost no room and the investment in buying a quality ball is very low.
