Day 1 - Oil Pulling

Given, it's already January 8th, so the first "30 days" will actually be 23. Let's see how oil-pulling for 23 days works out! This is what I'll be doing:

OIL PULLING

1) Put a whopping teaspoon of coconut oil in my mouth and swish it around for 20 minutes
2) Spit it out in the trash and rinse

This does not replace anything else, I'm just adding it to my normal routine of brushing and flossing and eating and drinking normally. I'll give you an update as often as possible during the 23 days, complete with pictures, and at the end, I will post the results and changes. I will also report whether or not there were benefits and if they outweigh any cons, and if they do, whether it is worthwhile adding to my lifestyle and if it's practical to do so or not. I will report changes to the following areas:

- overall health (in this case teeth color, cleanliness, how it feels, cavities, gum health, etc.)
- did I get sick
- clearer skin
- headaches
- weight
- stamina
- clothes fitting
- strength
- muscle tension and general soreness
- family climate
- emotional well-being

This means I should include the status of these areas at the start, as well. So, Day 1:

DAY 1

Overall Tooth Health - I don't know. My teeth always feel a little sensitive to cold, and as clean as I can get them. Here's a picture.

Sick - nope

Headaches - nope

Skin - it's not that clear

Weight - 142.6

Stamina - 13-minute mile

Clothes Fitting - N/A

Strength - very weak

Muscle Tension - very sore shoulders & neck ALL the time

Family Climate - alright, on a scale of 1-10 I'd say 6

Emotional Well-Being - grumpy, tired, feel like complaining, a little depressed

END RESULT: Add to lifestyle?? Don't know.
