Yellow teeth aren’t “just aging.”

They’re the result of coffee addiction, poor habits, and zero maintenance.

Your smile can be 2–8 shades whiter with the RIGHT whitening method.

Here’s how to get white teeth without damaging your enamel (or wallet): 🧵
Most guys think expensive treatments give better results.

But the reality?

All whitening methods use the same active ingredient: hydrogen peroxide.

The difference isn't the chemical - it's how concentrated it is and how it's delivered to your teeth. Image
Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes and bleaches stain molecules, whitening teeth from the inside.

Some products use carbamide peroxide, which slowly releases hydrogen peroxide over several hours.

Similar methods, just different speeds.

But not everyone can safely whiten their teeth: Image
You're not a candidate if you have:

• Untreated cavities
• Severe tooth sensitivity
• You're under 16 years old.

Pregnant or nursing women should also wait.

Here's why preparation matters more than the method you choose... Image
Professional cleaning before whitening isn't optional - it's essential.

Plaque and tartar create a barrier that prevents whitening agents from reaching your tooth enamel.

Without cleaning first, you'll get uneven, patchy results regardless of which product you use. Image

– Peroxide Free
– Enamel Safe for Whiter Teeth
– Whitening Without The Sensitivity

You have 3 main options of teeth whitening.
Each with different peroxide concentrations:

1. Strips: 5-10% ($20-70)
2. Custom trays: 10-30% ($150-600)
3. Professional: 15-40% ($300-900+)

Higher concentrations work faster, but also cost more and have increased sensitivity risk. Image
Image
Image
1. Whitening strips are the most affordable option.

They contain 5-10% hydrogen peroxide.

The main limitation: they're one-size-fits-all.
So they don't conform perfectly to your teeth.

This can cause uneven whitening and gel contact with your gums, leading to irritation. Image

2. Custom trays are made from impressions of your teeth, guaranteeing a perfect fit and even coverage.

They typically use 10-30% carbamide peroxide (which is stronger than strips).

But the real advantage isn't just the higher concentration. Image
Image
Carbamide peroxide releases hydrogen peroxide slowly over 2-8 hours, versus strips that work in 30-60 minutes.

This gradual release causes less tooth sensitivity while delivering longer-lasting results.

Results typically last 6-12 months compared to just weeks with strips.
3. Professional treatments use the highest concentrations:

15-40% hydrogen peroxide.

But they often add heat or light to accelerate the process, delivering results in 1-2 visits.

However, this aggressive approach has two major downsides most people don't consider... Image
Image
Higher concentrations mean higher sensitivity risk - some people experience pain for DAYS

Plus, despite costing 5-10x more than at-home methods, professional results don't last any longer

You're paying for speed, not better or more permanent results.

But home users, be careful.Image
Most whitening failures come from user error:

• Applying on stained teeth.
• Overusing products (enamel damage.)
• Skipping the pre-cleaning (uneven results)
• Leaving products on longer than directed (causes sensitivity).

Vanity is an art ↓ Image
Most people achieve 2-8 shades whiter, depending on starting tooth color and stain type.

Heavy coffee drinkers, smokers, and older individuals usually need stronger treatments.

Remember: whitening doesn't work on crowns, fillings, or veneers - only natural tooth enamel. Image
To maximise your results:

• Get a touch-up every 3-6 months
• Get professional cleanings every 6 months
• Avoid staining foods/drinks for 48 hours after treatment
• Use whitening toothpaste 1-2x per week for maintenance

But here's what most guys miss ↓ Image

Japanese people are crazy.

They stay skinny & live to 100+ while:

- Eating sugar daily
- Drinking alcohol regularly
- Working +100hrs/week at an office desk

But when Americans try it? They become fat, sick, and depressed.

I had to find out what was REALLY going on: 🧵 Image
Image
Only approximately 4-5% of Japanese adults are considered obese.

For American adults, the percentage skyrockets to around 43%.

Crazy right?

Here's the difference:
Children in Japan are taught more about the value of healthy foods at a young age.

Not only that, they enjoy them.

Healthy options are embedded into their normal life, and with less intake of processed foods, they don't get the same 'cravings' Americans do.

This might save your life...

Your belly fat is damaging your organs and paving the way for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Here are 5 ways to lose the gut and regain control of your health:

Problem 1: Insulin resistance

Belly fat drives insulin resistance — your cells stop responding to insulin, forcing your body to pump out more.

That means more fat storage, higher blood sugar, and a fast track to diabetes.
Fix 1: Cut refined carbs for 30 days

• Keep added sugar under 25g/day
• Build each plate around protein + fiber
• Replace white bread, pasta, vegetables, legumes

Your body will start burning fat instead of storing it. Image

You’ve been lied to about Coke Zero.

Big Pharma told you it’s toxic and cancerous.

Reality? New studies show they might be helping millions lose fat, reduce cravings, and stay in a calorie deficit.

Here’s the truth about diet drinks (backed by science): 🧵
The main fear?

Aspartame.

People hear “artificial sweetener” and start yelling “CANCER.”

But the science tells a very different story.
Image
Aspartame was labeled a “Group 2B carcinogen.”

It means: “possibly carcinogenic, but no good evidence in humans.”

Other Group 2B items:

* Pickled vegetables
* Aloe vera extract
* Mobile phones

Yes, your iPhone is in the same group.
