Have you ever found a tub of  expired protein shake in the back of your pantry, and wondered if it was still safe to drink? This question has plagued many fitness enthusiasts, especially given the hefty price tags attached to some high-quality protein powders. Fortunately, the answer to this question is not an absolute yes or no, but rather depends on several factors, including type of protein powder used and how it was stored.

In general, if protein powder is kept at a cool temperature and not exposed to moisture, it can last up to nine or 18 months past the expiration date. Generally, the expiration date on protein powder indicates when it will be at its peak quality, rather than when it will be unsafe to consume, Mitzi Baum, CEO of STOP Foodborne Illness, explains.

However, even if your protein powder is not past its expiration date, it may lose its nutritional value over time, especially if it was stored incorrectly. It is best to do a visual and sensory inspection of the powder, and if it is discolored or has an odd smell, discard it immediately.

The key is to use fresh, reputable protein powder from a trusted brand to ensure you’re getting the most bang for your buck. Whether you’re a strength athlete or just trying to meet your health goals, a good protein shake can help. So don’t worry if you find an expired container of your favorite protein powder, just follow the tips in this article to make sure it is safe to eat.

A full mouth reconstruction is more than just a cosmetic “smile makeover”; it’s an opportunity to restore the health, function and beauty of your teeth, jaws and bite. It can also help you breathe easier, eat more comfortably and boost your self-confidence.

How do you reconstruct a smile?

This includes a set of comprehensive x-rays that assist with diagnosing tooth decay, bone loss and other issues. We then create a treatment plan to correct all problems and achieve your goals for a healthy smile.

Dental reconstruction are a popular treatment for replacing missing teeth. A titanium screw is surgically inserted into the jaw and then a connecting piece called an abutment, which supports a fabricated crown, is attached to the implant site. The new tooth is a permanent replacement that looks, feels and functions like your natural teeth. Implants prevent complications that often arise from missing teeth, such as bone loss and shifting of surrounding teeth. They are placed by specialist oral surgeons or periodontists.

If the area where a new tooth is needed has insufficient bone present, a procedure known as “sinus augmentation” can be performed to add more height to the existing sinus floor and thus increase the amount of available bone for an implant. Then a single or two-stage surgery can be done to place the implant and allow it to heal. A temporary prosthesis can be worn during this time if necessary.

Holistic Recovery Programs offer a variety of therapies that include traditional methods like CBT and DBT along with alternative practices.

These practices also help to reduce cravings and stress levels which can contribute to relapse.

Acupuncture, yoga, massage therapy and meditation are all common components of a holistic addiction recovery program. These practices improve an individual’s overall health, reducing the risk of relapse as they will feel better equipped to handle life’s challenges without turning to drugs and alcohol for relief.

A healthy diet and regular exercise are also important parts of a holistic recovery program. This enables individuals to have more energy to focus on their recovery and live a balanced lifestyle which will make it easier to remain sober long-term. It will also improve a person’s self-esteem which can often be damaged by drug and alcohol abuse. This will enable them to build a strong support network of family and friends to assist in their recovery process when they return home from rehab.
