Up Your Health Game

Scrape It Off

Tongue scraping might sound pretty gross, but it’s actually great for your mouth. In fact, scraping for just 30 seconds reduces the build-up of plaque on your tongue and lowers your chances of having bad breath. Scrape away, friends. [Swirled]

Love You So Maca

Maca powder may be just the thing that gets you to break up with your morning latte. Maca powder, a caffeine-free plant-based supplement, can give you the energy boost you crave without making you feel wired. Also known as “Peruvian ginseng,” the superfood is high in minerals, and it can help regulate your hormones and adrenal glands. [Swirled]

Raise The Roof

A new survey reveals that 73.42 percent of people would be willing to ditch alcohol for five years for just a 10 percent raise. And that’s not all — 53.55 percent say they would be willing to give up social media while 35 percent say they would actually give up the right to vote. We don’t know about you guys, but our minds are blown. [The Ladders]

Strike A Pose

Google’s new Clips camera could soon replace photographers by automating the process of taking photos. Using an algorithm designed to recognize faces and movement, Clips takes “candid” shots of people whenever it senses that someone is within range. Although the technology still has a looong way to go, it could change the photo game from here on out. [CNN Tech]
