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.

Health, Uncategorized | Comments (6)4 Symptoms NOT to be Taken Lightly
While I consider myself pretty informed when it comes to Cancer, when my friend was recently diagnosed I was dumbfounded to say the least. Her Cancer not only took me by surprise, but also her doctors due to her age and her overall healthy lifestyle.
This form of Breast Cancer is apparently sweeping the nation, unfortunately going undetected most times. It is called Inflammatory Breast Cancer. One of the most aggressive forms of Breast Cancer, getting it’s name “inflammatory” by blocking the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast making it often look swollen and red, or “inflamed”.
4 Symptoms to Look For:
- Redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast.
- The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised.
- The skin may also have ridges or appear pitted, like the skin of an orange, which is caused by a buildup of fluid and edema in the breast.
- Heaviness, burning, aching, increase in size, tenderness, or a nipple that is inverted.
These symptoms usually develop quickly; over a period of weeks or months. Because Inflammatory Breast Cancer affects the lymph nodes, IBC may also present itself under the arm, above the collarbone, or in both places.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer tends to occur more frequently at a younger age and in African American women more than any other race. IBS is not only more likely to metastasized at the time of diagnosis, the survival rate is between 25-50%, which is significantly lower compared to other forms of cancer.

Health, Natural Remedies, Raw recipes | Comments (1)What a Difference a Day Can Make!
After an exhausting day on Wednesday, we decided to take Thursday to rejuvenate ourselves with some fun in the sun, cold drinks and plenty of raw fruits and veggies.
THE RESULT: I felt so alive that I had trouble sleeping last night. It must have been all of the live whole foods in Urilife’s The Feast!
I hate admit that I ate absolutely horrible while in Colorado, but I will because I am an honest person. 33 days of bad eating, not good! It was the darn Mexican food I tell ya!
Even though I didn’t gain any weight, I felt miserable. I had no energy, was bloated, and I won’t even begin to tell you about the nasty thoughts that entered my mind each and every time I looked at myself in the mirror.
I recall a friend telling me a while back about an episode on Oprah. Dr. Oz had mentioned that everyone has a drug of choice when it comes to how we handle life’s ups and downs.
If you know anything about me, you know that my drug of choice is food. Whether sad, happy, stressed, excited or bored I turn to food. Well I use to anyway!
After coming to terms with the fact that, yes I have an eating disorder, I made some drastic changes not only to the foods I turned to but more importantly how I looked at myself. Because I now value myself, I have chosen to eat to live, instead of living to eat.
Unfortunately, I do slip up from time to time and when I do the thoughts come seeping their way in as well. But when I do get back on track I feel that much better. I’m excited to be back in the drivers seat when it comes to my family’s nutrition. Eating healthy makes for a healthy business too!
Yours Truly,

Health, Personal Growth, Self Improvement | Comments (0)Got Gas Pains???
I don’t have to tell you that gas prices are close to $5 a gallon. With no end in sight it seems that these jaw dropping prices are taking a toll in every way possible. Families are now being forced to decide between putting food on their table for gas in their vehicle.
There are so many things we can do right now to battle this seemingly raging recession. While the pinching pennies can start with your next trip to the grocery store, it does not mean you have to skimp on good, quality food!
I was astonished to find that the big box warehouse stores are thriving in this economy. People are literally taking their rebate checks and stocking up on toilet paper, canned good and bulk products like crazy at theses places.
Thinking outside of the box, there has got to be a healthier way to save. Since the price of gas is only going up, here are some ways to save some doe at the grocery store:
- Plan your meals. I don’t know about you, but the few times I am tempted to pull out a boxed meal or worse stop at the drive-thru are the times I failed to plan a meal for the night. It takes a few extra minutes to pull something out of the freezer, but saves you 15% by making the meal yourself instead of buying it at a restaurant.
- Hit the Farmers Market. Not only will you be supporting your local farmers, but you can also save a ton on fresh, organic fruits and veggies….need I say more?
- Plant Your Own Garden.Why not plant your own fruits, veggies, and herbs? Don’t have a green thumb, no problem! There are tons of books you can barrow from the library or use google to do the dirty work.
- Shop Sales. Summer is always great time for holiday sales. Keep your eyes open and cut coupons to save even more.
- Get Old Fashioned. Make your own food. For instance, spaghetti sauce, beans, mac and cheese, oatmeal, bread and salsa. Heck, your pancakes will still come out great without the mix!
Not to mention, patients with allergies should have a nebulizer handy when the house cleaning is in process and the window cleaning is being done or the carpet shampoo is nearby. We are always going to pay for convenience in one way or the other.
Since paying outrageous amounts at the pump is inevitable, why not take a few extra steps to save on food, health, and wallets. Most families eat healthier at home than they would eating out. Plus you know exactly what is going into you and your family’s body because you made it!
Cheers!
