Have mouthpiece, will perform
File this one under hard to believe but maybe true. Under Armour and a couple of other companies are making performance mouthpieces that promise to raise your performace on the field or whatever recreational activity you take part in. They claim the mouthpiece relaxes the jaw whice allows the athlete to relax and have better air flow. A dentist we interviewed said the Under Armour device actually reduces the amount of cortisol produced when we clench our teeth. Cortisol actaully causes fatigue.
The Vikings Adrian Peterson uses one and the Yankees Derek Jeter reportedly wears one. Oh, and then there is this: many New Orleans Saints players reportedly wear them and they won the Super Bowl. Talk about performance.
