The gunk that builds up on your tongue is not the sexiest topic you'll read about today, but it might be the most important. Even if you brush and floss diligently, an unhygienic tongue can be enough to cause bad breath, cavities, and even gum disease. Oh, and a visible white coating, speaking of unsexy topics.

Construction remains such a big driver of climate change because of the intense temperatures needed to heat limestone—one of the most important ingredients in Portland cement—enough to create calcium.
However, by...

Just like basements and attics, garages are a go-to for storage space. We all have boxes or crates filled with items we don't need every day.
