Why is Diet Soda Bad For You!
Get this: Diet soda is as dangerous as Davidoff cigars.
Study upon study has already proven the negative health effects of diet soda, including the ironic fact that these artificially sweetened drinks can actually lead to weight gain, not weight loss. Other ill health effects have also been linked to diet soda, especially the kind sweetened with the chemical aspartame.
Now, new research adds why is diet soda bad for you: Diet soda drinkers have a dramatically higher risk of a heart attack and stroke.
The website Healthier Talk reports on the study:
Researchers tracked 2,564 New York City seniors for a decade and found that 31 percent of those who drank diet soda every day suffered a heart attack or stroke versus 22 percent of those drank little to no diet soda.
That’s an increase in risk of 49% according to the data published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Levels of Eating
What level are you on now? What level are you choosing to be on moving forward? Food is meant to sustain us and support us through life, not be the focal point of our experiences. We don’t need fried, greasy foods to excite our brains and give us something to feel good about, that’s an emotional cover up. Eating to feel happy is just a sign that something else is missing in life. Look for healthier ways to create sustainable happiness and satisfaction in your life in your relationships and experiences. Find what is missing, follow your heart, follow your passion, go out and be YOURSELF ♥
Benefits of Celery
Celery is one of the veggies that is routinely used in juicing. I am still adjusting to the taste of it. But based on the effects, I would really try hard to keep it down when drinking! I might just have apple-carrot-celery combination.
Let me just say, being able to don a swimsuit while swimming under a jandy pool light is motivation enough.
Hello Summer 2013!
Soursop: The Magic Fruit
Soursop, otherwise known as the guyabano fruit, has been making waves lately. It has been dubbed the magic fruit since you can utilize everything – its bark, leaves and fruit – for better health.
We recently had a cancer scare in the family lately and it has let us be more vigilant in taking care of our health. One of the things that was taught to us was to drink more of this soursop tea. It’s just dried leaves and peelings of a guyabano fruit. You can drink it hot or cold.
And we now get fresh guyabano puree from a local market too. It tastes great as is or with 2 parts water, 1 part puree. Or better yet, make it a shake!
Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life
The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America’s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s. What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing…Extracts from the tree were shown to:
Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!
