Above: Flossing helps prevent gum disease

DEAR Hilary...

What’s the bestway to prevent gum disease?
 
Regular brushing and flossing is essential to prevent the build-up of plaque which is the major cause of gum disease – characterised by bleeding, sore and swollen gums.

It is also important to keep your gums healthy by eating the right foods. Eating cheese at the end of a meal will help neutralise excess acid in the mouth.

I am a typical pear shape – is it true that this is the hardest shape to change?
 
Females tend to store any excess fat in the hip, thigh and bottom areas which gives them their pear shape.

Studies have concluded that fat comes off the body from the top downwards which does make the pear shape the hardest to change.

While you may not be able to alter your shape as such, you can certainly tone up to give you a slimmer appearance.
