With football season underway, NFL Star Odell Beckham Jr. is setting himself up for success on and off the field. Along with prioritizing his fitness training, he is also dedicating time to other aspects of his health, including his dental hygiene and self-care – all of which allows him to maintain optimal mental and physical performance.
To showcase his commitment to living a healthy lifestyle, OBJ partnered with MOON Oral Beauty to help design The Elevated Collection, which includes the brand’s latest electric toothbrush and toothpaste (just received mine in the mail so can’t wait to check them out!)
I had the opportunity to chat with the wide receiver about everything from his oral healthcare habits to his top tips for improving your health on a daily basis.
Why is oral health important to you?
I’ve always been obsessed with flossing and brushing my teeth. Feeling clean to me is more than just taking a shower – it’s making sure my breath is fresh and my teeth are polished. Maintaining good oral hygiene is simple and something we can control just by taking a few minutes every day to brush and floss our teeth… especially when you find the right products that work for you and make it easy. Oral care is an important step of my wellness routine that I never skip.
What makes your Elevated Collection unique and what inspired you to take part in this?
When creating this collection with MOON, I wanted to design something that was informed by nature. Everything from the slate green color and topography designs on the packaging to the Peak Mint flavor and collection name, reflects the natural progression of life which is never a linear path. It’s inspired by the growth I’ve found during tough times and the illustrations represent the highs, lows and middle ground of life, much like a landscape of peaks and valleys. It’s a continuous journey of progress, always moving forward towards achieving your vision.
Incorporating this message into products that I love and use every day has been a special and personal process for me. I’ve always been creative since I was young, drawing shoes and other ideas in my notebooks so I feel blessed to be able to create these unique products with the MOON team. The partnership with MOON came about naturally, I really aligned with their mission and think oral care shouldn’t feel like a chore. It’s been really fun to be a part of the creative development and bring this electric toothbrush and toothpaste to life.
Describe your nighttime routine, including any self-care wellness practices and how you wind down before bed.
Every night I have to take a steaming hot shower. I can’t get into bed before washing my face and body and brushing my teeth. Sometimes I light a candle to help me unwind and relax as I’m getting ready for bed. I keep it pretty simple but do the basics to make sure I feel clean not only physically but mentally before going to sleep.
Aside from maintaining your oral health, what tips would you give to people for improving their physical and mental health on a daily basis?
It’s all about balance. Some simple things that make a big difference are staying hydrated and drinking water all day, never skipping breakfast and keeping a good sleep schedule. It’s important to me to find time every day to mentally detach from everything that’s going on in my life. Finding something that gives you that emotional break, whether that be from meditation, Pilates, or even just going on a walk, is so necessary for mental wellness. This will be different for everyone but just find what works best for you.
