Step Up Your Food Trip with Listerine for Oral Health Protection

Step Up Your Food Trip with Listerine

Listerine held its Step Up Your Food Trip campaign in Eastwood Open Park, and I was fortunate to be able to participate in it last March 27, 2015.

The primary goal of the campaign is to raise awareness among us foodies to step up our oral health by adding one more step and that is gargling with Listerine.

Brushing May Not be Enough - Step it Up!
It is a common misnomer that mouthwashes are used to just freshen the breath, but it actually does more than that. It removes a coating of bacteria called biofilm covering the teeth that can't be easily removed by brushing alone. Hence, for better oral health, it is highly advisable to add a final step of gargling with Listerine.

Biofilm Explained
Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that sticks to the teeth and causes plaque, gum problems, and bad breath. You can actually feel the biofilm. It's basically the slippery layer on your teeth when you roll your tongue over it. Notice that even after brushing, you can still feel this slippery substance. Well, that's where this mouthwash comes in.

Step Up Your Foodtrip
Now, aside from this, Listerine wanted us to step up our general health by showcasing a line up of healthy foodie options.

Among all those that were there, these are the ones that caught my attention.

A Paradigm Shift towards Better Health
Now that I'm not getting any younger, I'm starting to become health conscious as well. Hence, being in this event, seemed like an encouragement and sign for me to start getting healthier now. To jump start this, I'm now targeting to have a more active lifestyle by ensuring that I get proper exercise and of course having proper diet. This means bye-bye to reckless eating, and more to hitting the gym.

Now, after the event, I went back to the office and share what transpired during the day. They got curious as to what's new with Listerine Total Care; hence, we became all eager to try it out.

Listerine Total Care Antibacterial Mouthwash

Upon our regular toothbrush session at 1:30 pm with my toothbrush buddies, we finally "completed" our oral regime with the Listerine Total Care, and it felt entirely different. Unquestionably, it freshened our breaths and left a comfy feeling in the mouth. However, what's actually more comforting was the assurance that we were able to step up our oral hygiene -- killing all those bacteria 100%. With this, I realized that by only adding one step which takes about 30 seconds, I made a huge difference in terms of my oral care!

It's time to step up my food trip by washing out all the bacteria and biofilm with Listerine

Oh by the way, it's important to note that Listerine Total Care, with 4 essential oils, is the only unique formulation that is scientifically proven to break through and remove the biofilm layer, to cleaning virtually 100% of the mouth. Now, that's what you can call total care!

Foodie friends, it's the perfect time to Step Up with Listerine! Start now for better oral health.
