5 Oral Motor Exercises Used in Speech Therapy 🗣️

Clear communication depends on the coordinated movement of several muscles, including those in your tongue, lips, jaw, and face.

Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that can affect the strength, speed, coordination, and control of muscles involved in speaking.

Here are 5 oral movements demonstrated in this video:

1. Tongue extension
2. Tongue side-to-side
3. Tongue elevation
4. Mouth opening
5. Lip puckering

Speech therapy is individualized. These movements are not a universal treatment for dysarthria, and a speech-language pathologist can determine which exercises are appropriate.

Sleep Apnea Explained: What Happens When You Fall Asleep? 😴

Your breathing can change while you sleep and the reason may surprise you. 👀

Sleep apnea can cause your airway to narrow or temporarily close, interrupting normal breathing throughout the night.

🚨 Watch for these warning signs:
• Loud, persistent snoring
• Waking up gasping or choking
• Pauses in breathing noticed by someone else
• Excessive daytime tiredness

Sleeping on your back and drinking alcohol before bed may worsen airway obstruction in some people.

Snoring doesn't always mean sleep apnea, but repeated breathing pauses deserve medical attention.

Walking Barefoot on Grass: 4 Reasons to Try a Morning Walk 🌿

Could a simple morning walk become your favorite daily habit?

Walking barefoot on grass can give you a chance to slow down, enjoy nature, and get some gentle movement before the day begins.

☀️ Potential benefits of a morning walk:

✅ Supports circulation through physical activity
✅ Helps loosen stiff muscles
✅ Gives you time outdoors
✅ May support mood and stress management

One important distinction: the benefits of walking and spending time outdoors are better supported than claims about “grounding.” Grounding has not been proven to increase testosterone or balance hormones.

🌱 Start with a comfortable, mindful walk on clean, safe ground.
