Easy Health Mistakes

1. Brushing just after breakfast. After eating acidic foods - especially fruit and juice - can weaken enamel. That may lead to discoloration or greater odds of cracks and chips. Instead, swish with water and wait 40 minutes for the calcium in your saliva to remineralize weakened areas. Then brush.

2. Microwave lunch in plastic. Undesirable elements can still leach into your food. Use glass or ceramic containers instead, or warm it on the stove at home and pack it in a stainless-steel thermos to keep it hot.

3. Check work e-mail before bed. Managers who use their smartphone for work after 9 p.m. wake up groggy, a study found.
