Let’s put all opinions on the side for now….

Do you think a “chemically altered” food can possibly be safe for you?

There is a growing concern about the chemically altered artificial sweetener SPLENDA:

“Sucralose has been the subject of considerable controversy over potential toxicity and marketing.

A recent study by scientists at Duke University, funded by the Sugar Association (a trade association representing sugar beet and sugar cane farmers), and published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, asserts that Splenda (which contains sucralose and the fillers maltodextrin and glucose) contributed to the following:

….at doses of sucralose that are approved by FDA for the food supply. The study authors state the Sugar Association had no input on the study’s findings and conclusions. According to the Sugar Association’s website, www.truthaboutsplenda.com, many consumers have also complained of a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms, migraines, seizures, dizziness and blurred vision, allergic reactions, blood sugar increases and weight gain, and numerous other problems associated with consumption of Splenda. ”

I encourage you to get involved and take a stance on either side of the issue by scrolling down and leaving a comment. Thanks!

STRESS KILLS. Elevated heart rate, high blood pressure, chest pains…..

Over the years, I’ve been emailed all sorts of gimmicky products that promise to reduce stress levels, but require paying money. RED FLAG!  For me, the single most effective way of managing stress is 100% FREE and it’s something you can do in your car, at home, or in the office.

1.  Find Comfort

2.  The 4:8 Ratio
Next, start by inhaling for 4 seconds, then exhaling for 8 seconds. Repeat this 5-10 times.  Inhale, exhale twice as long…. relax. Keep it up!  Now for the best part:

3.  Pulling it Together
Once you have the hang of it, start focusing on your muscles relaxing as you exhale. Start with your arms, then your quadriceps, your neck, even feel your calves and ankles relaxing. Inhale, then exhale…… feel your muscles literally open up like sunflowers and relax. It really works!

It’s important to keep your stress levels to a bare minimum- your life depends on it.
