We use our mouth every day to eat, drink, breathe and speak. It does so much more than that though.
The infographic above helps to demonstrate that in just two areas: taste buds and saliva.
Our mouth uses several thousand taste buds to help us understand what we’re eating. While we may use that today to enjoy piles of spaghetti and pancakes with delicious syrup, the sense of taste originates from a far more serious issue. Survival. Back in the good-old- days taste was used to help identify what we were eating and more importantly, figure out if it was going to hurt us.
Since then we’ve honed in on our ability to taste. Our taste buds are capable of tasting well over 100,000 different combinations. That number grows significantly if you add in the senses of touch, temperature and smell.
Functions of Saliva
As important as taste is to our health, saliva may be even more important. It provides us with four basic functions that are crucial to keeping things in working order. While many of us are probably aware of its uses for lubrication and digestion, there are two other functions that are lesser known.
The first is its ability to keep acid levels balanced in our mouth. Every time we eat the bacteria that lives in our mouth produces acid. That acid eats away at our enamel and causes our teeth to decay. Saliva will balance that out and neutralize that acid. Without it, our teeth would always be decaying, which is no good.
The second is saliva’s ability to protect us. Our mouth is the primary entry point a wide variety of nasty things like germs, viruses and bacteria. Our saliva uses antimicrobial enzymes and various compounds to kill those critters on the spot and keep them from causing havoc in our body. The rest of the immune system acts like a clean-up crew, but our saliva acts more like a bouncer.

As a person living in an area which is accustomed to heavy snow, slide offs are extremely common during heavy snowfall. People living in such areas are mostly calling tow trucks to pull cars out of ditches. Before you call a tow truck company for assistance, you need to research well in order to save you from any rip offs. And believe us, rip offs during these demanding times are high.
Work with reputable businesses
Before you call a tow truck to help you out, complete your research using the internet. There are tons of listings online with ratings for tow truck companies. Read out the reviews of other people and see what experience they had with a specific company. List down the numbers of reputable companies and call them one by one to find out their fee. You can also ask them for payment methods if you are in real trouble.
Avoid freelancer tow trucks
During snowy season, a lot of freelancing tow truck drivers are seen around the roads. If someone comes to you offering to help you out, don’t just blindly say yes and let them help you. By law, tow truck drivers are required to meet certain requirements in order to operate. Ask the driver for identification and see if the tow truck displays contact details both inside and on the truck. They should also carry a certification number that indicates they are insured and certified to get the job done. Work with Jerr Dan wreckers and be safe knowing you have the best utility vehicle known to man.
Get cost estimates before agreeing on anything
Because the weather can be really harsh during snowy season, tow trucks may have to spend a lot of time pulling one car out of a ditch. If the truck has to work a lot, they will charge you a lot. So before you settle to work with someone, ask them for the estimate costs. You should ideally know the general costs of tow truck operators only then you will be able to negotiate or find out if someone is trying to rip you off.
1 tip that can help you save a lot
Tow trucks aren’t the perfect solution, sometimes towing your car can take a negative turn and can damage your car. If the car is damaged, some tow truck drivers will try to save themselves by not admitting their mistakes. Take a picture of your car before anything happens so you have proof that your car was indeed damaged during the process. Tow truck companies have a responsibility to keep your car safe from damages.
Insurance can help
If you have insured your car, before calling a tow truck, call your insurance company to find out if you are covered. If the company tells you towing costs are covered, you can then proceed and work with a towing company that is listed down in the insurance. This can greatly help you save costs. So never hesitate to call the insurance company if you need assistance.
Keeping things in order is pretty important while you make any move. This is a nice checklist to keep yourself safe, as long as an infographic about having a safe move.
Moving is a huge thing to deal with. You have to pack everything you own and take it to a new place then unpack it. But packing stuff and simply moving to another place is just one part of the move. You have to establish new connections, register yourself in the new community and much more. If you are moving to a different city or community, the following checklist is a must make for you.
Setting up utility accounts
As soon as you move to the new place, register and set your new accounts with utility providers in the new area. After all you don’t want to run out of electricity or hot water for your bath. Registering with new gas and electricity companies can take several weeks to complete. So before you move, register with them early so as soon as you arrive at your new home, you have electricity and gas there.
Notify government agencies
Moving is so much more than just taking your belongings with you. When you reach your new home, you need to set up a new account with government agencies of that area and get your address changed as soon as you are there.
Voting registration
Check with your local election commission as soon as you arrive at the new place to understand the local rules of that election body. You will be told about the election dates and locations of poling stations. Avoid being absent at voting day by registering before hand and as early as possible.
Postal address
When moving, you will have to inform all the companies you receive letters from to change your address. You can do that later but as soon as you move, you can tell the local post office to set a mail forwarding service for you. That way, any mail that arrives for your old home will be automatically delivered to your new place. Try to change your address details with as many companies as you can through the internet. Most companies these days allow you to change address via their websites.
Get your vehicle registered
You will have to register your vehicle with the new municipal of the area you are moving to. Go to the revenue authorities and sort this out as soon as possible. Once they update their database, they will let you know.
Register with the local doctor
General practitioners are your first stop if you need health care. Locate your GP in the area and register with them immediately. They will require some documents as proof of your new address. If you have a pet, you will have to register with the local vet too.
Look for newspaper delivery
New area means you will have to sign up with a new newspaper agency to get your news paper delivered at your home. Go to your favorite news agency’s website and register your new address with them. You can also notify your current newspaper agency of your move and see if they deliver at your new location.
