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.

A Lotion, A Weight Loss Miracle, and A Cooking Oil???

Any guess as to what I’m talking about?

It’s only Coconut Oil, the most versatile oil on Earth!  Earlier this week I mentioned the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid gland and how your thyroid could quite possibly be the reason you are battling the bulge.

Today I would like to let you in on my secret weapon for keeping my thyroid in check.  It is actually quite simple really, I add pure organic Coconut Oil to everything!

How Can This, Help Your Thyroid?

Coconut oil is known to have “thermogenic” properties, which means it has the ability to raise your body’s temperature in turn raising your metabolism, helping that thyroid function better!  So I suppose it’s true, not all fats make you fat.

Not only is Coconut oil ideal for aiding your thyroid function, it helps protect your skin from the aging effects of free radicals, and can help improve the appearance of skin with its anti-aging benefits.

In fact, physiologist and biochemist Ray Peat, Ph.D. considers coconut oil to be an antioxidant, due to its stability and resistance to oxidation and free radical formation. Plus, he feels it reduces our need for the antioxidant protection of vitamin E.

Like Dr. Peat, many experts believe coconut oil may help restore more youthful-looking skin. When coconut oil is absorbed into the skin and connective tissues, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep connective tissues strong and supple.

10 More Reasons to Add Coconut Oil to Your Diet:

1. Promotes your heart health
2. Promotes weight loss when and if you need it
3. Supports your immune system health
4. Supports a healthy metabolism
5. Provides you with an immediate energy source
6. Helps to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
7. Supports the proper function of your thyroid gland
8. Smoothing and moisturizing effects
9. Promotes skin elasticity
10. Convenient eye make-up remover

Coconut Pure contains 100% pure, unrefined, organic extra virgin coconut oil. It is rich in medium chain fatty acids. Coconut Pure provides stable, healthy fat. Made from Certified Organic Coconuts.
I eat Raw Coconut Oil in my smoothies, on my organic popcorn, and I use it on my body! It is the only product that leaves my skin feeling smooth without making me breakout!

On the other hand, complex fitness equipment like the bowflex, not the trampoline, should be used with care in order to avoid exercise mishaps like bursitis.

So the next time someone asks you butter or margarine, as much as you’d like to choose the cow over the scientist you’re going to pick nature’s creation, right?

Enjoy Your Holiday Weekend!

Radiated Lettuce, Coming to a Town Near You!

It is official, the FDA approved radiation on lettuce, spinach and other greens hoping to ward off the all too familiar salmonella and e-coli scares. The radiated produce is said to hit grocery stores as of yesterday.

Once again, the FDA refuses to allow labeling on this radiated produce. I mean come on it’s in our best interest not to know why we are suddenly giving birth to incredible hulks!

I have to agree with Gerry from http://diseaseproof.com, if it’s not natural I’m leery. Which is why I encourage you to grow your own vegetable garden. If we were meant to live this life of high tech genetically modified food, why are we suffering from more disease now than ever before?

Radiation is not the answer and I am afraid that it will be the least of our worries to come.

Will you be eating radiated lettuce?

Your Friend,

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,

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:

1. Redness, swelling, and warmth in the breast, often without a distinct lump in the breast.
2. The skin of the breast may also appear pink, reddish purple, or bruised.
3. 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.
4. 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.

To find out more information

I encourage you to visit http://cancer.gov. Thank you to all those whom said a prayer for my dear friend during her surgery to remove this ugly Cancer. She made it through safely and will soon begin her chemotherapy treatment!

Stay Informed!
