Too Much Soda Robs Your Bone Minerals:Drinking carbonated soft drinks (diet or non-diet sodas) compromises bone building and maintenance. By drinking this type of liquid, the chemicals in them cause an upset in calcium, phosphorous, zinc, magnesium and other bone building minerals. Too much sugar will deplete zinc, an essential nutrient for proper insulin/glucagons production and necessary for digestion, immune and sexual health as well. |
Artificial sweeteners have been linked to headaches and immune problems. The acids in the carbonation upset the calcium and phosphorous ratios causing too much of these valuable minerals to be excreted. The negative effects on bone are worsened when the diet is already low in magnesium. 38% of all males get less than 75% of the recommended allowance of magnesium daily, while females get about 50% less than the daily recommended allowance for magnesium. | The caffeine causes liver and adrenal stress (fatigue) and contributes to excessive calcium excretion further weakening your bones and heatlh. The average male consumes about 20 oz. per day and this is enough to put them into the ‘red zone’ where they excreted more of the minerals than they absorbed, especially phosphorous which is central to energy production. |

HERBS:A brief history of Black Cohosh:This herb has a long history of use for women’s health. Its scientific name is cimifuga racemosa and is known in lore to stimulate menstrual and uterine flow. Native Americans used black cohost to aid in childbirth, and treat female complaints and snakebites. It was an official drug in the US Pharmacopoeia from 1830-1926. |
In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, it was one of the ingredients in the herb product known as Lydia E. Pinkham’s vegetable compound. The compound could supposedly treat a variety of female health problems, including infertility, although Lydia didn’t have scientific proof. Today, black cohosh is used for the relief of symptoms related to menopause with studies that show it effectively relieved hot flashes, improved menopausal symptoms, and decreased vaginal dryness. |

Exercise Keeps Blood Vessels Young:
Some of us older folks can say that our blood vessels behave like those half of our age, according to a new study published in "Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association ". The study authors conclude that “long term exercise protects the inner lining of the blood vessels from age-related changes and makes them behave more like those of a young person.” They also said that people do not need to be athletes to receive the beneficial effects of exercise. So…either get with it and keep up your fitness or lose it!! |
