What Happens to Your Body Within an Hour of Drinking a Coke?

Need a dose of energy? I stumbled upon this article about drinking coke. I have never been big on soda and after reading this I am grateful.

Drinking soda is bad for your health in so many ways; science can’t even state all the consequences. Here’s what happens in your body when you assault it with a Coke:

Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100% of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don’t vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.

Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.

Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.

Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain – a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.

After 60 minutes, you’ll start to have a sugar crash.

Failure is That of an Illusion

“One great source of failure is found in a lack of concentration of purpose. There will be adverse winds in every voyage, but the able seaman firmly resists their influence, while h takes advantage of every favorable breeze to speed him on his course. so in our aims and pursuits we shall find much to counteract them, much to draw our attention from them, and, unless we are armed with a steadfast purpose, that can subordinate the lesser to the greater, that can repel hindrances, resist attractions, and, bend circumstances to our will, our efforts will not be crowned with success.”~ Unknown

The last few days have been spent in deep thought, yeah I do find a few spare moments in the day to think sometimes, lol!

What have I been thinking about?

All that I have given up in life, not that I am by any means regretful for the decisions I have made, but more for the fact that I have come to the realization that it is never too late to become what you might have been.  While the timing has never permitted me to do so, it has been a life-long dream to become a teacher.

The last few days, I have thought to myself WHY NOT?

Why can’t I go back to school, sure it will be difficult returning after 7 long years.  Yes, it will be time consuming.  And now with two young children in tow, you bet it will be hectic. I will be making more with Urilife than I would as a teacher, and yes I am scared to death of failing!

None of that Matters.

I am determined to do this, to prove to myself that I can do this!  I will no longer let fear stop me from growing to be the person I have always dreamed of becoming.  I will not fail, why?

Because failure is that of an illusion.  You can only fail unless you stop trying.  As long as you have faith, you can conquer any obstacle…even education for that matter!  Your faith is your greatest weapon against adversity, and with faith comes persistence.

When you embrace obstacles instead of giving in to them, you reaffirm that life is precious and worth fighting for.  You can’t let the fear of failure stand in your way from growing!!!

Is there anything you have put off for fear of failure?

Cheers to Education!

Hug Your Pet, Heal Your Bones

Did you know that cozying up with your dog or cat helps relieve mental distress and anxiety, plus puts you in a relaxed frame of mind for a more restful sleep?

No wonder animals play such a significant role in therapies around the world. And guess what? Studies suggest that the vibrations from a cat’s purr improve bone density and promote healing!

Don’t tell my daughter, she’ll actually have a sound argument for getting a cat now

Your Friend,

A Bubble Bath…in the sink…at Burger King, What?

Since when is your birthday an excuse to bathe in a restaurant sink? I could think about 50 other ways to spend the day, but apparently this Burger King employee couldn’t. You can read more about the story here.

What do you guys think about the rest of the staff being fired too?

One more reason NOT to eat Fast Food!

Say Bye-Bye-Bye to Blemishes!

Face it when it comes to blemishes you’ve got to really put up your dukes against the excess oil, redness, inflammation, and bacteria. In the midst of this race to the fountain of youth more and more people discover the many benefits antioxidants have on our skin and the pharmaceutical industry is cashing in big time.

Before you too go rushing out to buy the next big thing don’t forget the one time-honored natural source of antioxidants that seems to be over looked quite frequently:  Sea Buckthorn Berry.

Do NOT Under Estimate it’s Power

Sea-Buckthorn’s latin name is Hippophae Vhannoide  L., translated to mean “giving light to horse”. Refer-to its reputed power of curing blindness in horse-Who am I to dispute that one!  When Sea Buckthorn Berries aren’t curing horses from blindness they’re improving people’s skin, one blemish at a time.

Delivering A One-Five Punch!

This antioxidant punch has bacteria-killing disinfectants as well as antioxidants that soothe the skin, balance oil production and even reduce the inflammation of cystic acne, the most severe acne condition of all.

Next time you visit your Health Food Store, try looking for some Sea Buckthorn Oil and finally say bye-bye-bye to Blemishes!

Love,

Brandi
