Welcome to our new series sharing Unique Holidays: August 6th, 2021. Take a look a the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which Holiday you most would like to celebrate and why.
Today is like a day of fresh air, because its National Fresh Breath Day. No Halitosis (bad breath) here. Or at least I hope not. How about you and why?
Man and Woman have worried about bad breath for eons of time and the use of mouth freshening Herbs dates back to around 2,700 B.C. Whether on the dating scene, interviewing for a job, working closely with others, or for countless other reasons, most of us care about how our breath smells……. or doesn’t smell.
If you don’t care about your breath, we can assure you that the people around you do and so, we turn to a variety of methods to freshen our breath, and keep our breath fresh all day and night long.
Here are some of the keys ways to avoid Halitosis:
- Have routine Dental exams by your Dentist.
- Have Dental Cleanings by a Dental Hygienist every six months.
- Brush your teeth after every meal.
- Floss your teeth at least once a day.
- Use Mouth Wash regularly.
- Do not chew Gums that contains Sugar. because the Sugar can cause bad breath.
- Use Breath Mints regularly and always have them on hand.
50% of the Bacteria in your mouth promotes bad breath. Did you know this day is sometimes called Halitosis Day. Which is odd, because Halitosis is the technical term for Bad Breath, which is the opposite of Fresh Breath.
We hope you practice Healthy Oral Hygiene and have a Happy National Fresh Breath Day!
The History and Origin of National Fresh Breath Day:
Our researcher didn’t uncover the creator of this day, or when the Holiday was created. Perhaps it was someone in the Dental Hygiene field. Or, maybe it was someone fresh off of a hot date, that ended too soon due to a bad case of Halitosis.
Wiggle Your Toes Day encourages you to give your little piggy toes exercise. Wouldn’t it be fun to visit a Beach today and wiggle our toes in the Sand? Or find a nice cushy piece of grass to run our toes through?
Those ten extremities at the ends of our feet, are crying out for a little freedom. Toes cramped up inside a pair of shoes or sneakers all day long, our stinky toes just don’t get the chance to move about freely, as they would like to do.
We should celebrate Wiggle our Toes Day by airing out our toes, and wiggling them around for all to see. The best place to wiggle your toes on a hot August day, is in the pool. Or, sit on a dock and stick your wiggly little toes in the water.
Not all toes are alike. Like people, toes come in all shapes and sizes and there is a small percentage of the population who have two or more toes partially joined together….web like toes!
The History and Origin of Wiggle Your Toes Day:
Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day but this Holiday appears to have started in the early 2000’s.
There is not total agreement on the proper day to celebrate this very special day. The vast majority of websites record this event on August 6th and there are, however, some who suggest August 7th or the first Sunday in August. Without hearing from the creator of this day, we are going with the vast majority.
Thank you,
