  (NaturalNews) The result of a research study released by the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Scientific Sessions provides evidence that women drinking two or more sugary drinks a day may increase waistline size and risk of heart disease, even if they don’t gain weight. Heart disease is the leading killer of women and men alike and closely parallels the development and progression of diabetes. Consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar in particular dramatically increases blood fats known as triglycerides, a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and heart attack. Small lifestyle changes that substitute sweetened beverages for healthier alternatives can dramatically lower the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes in millions of at-risk women.http://x2oproducts.com/jedediah

  Researcher’s tracked 4,166 women aged 46 to 84 and analyzed a group of studies known as a meta-analysis to determine the effect of sugary drinks on heart disease and diabetes risk. After crunching the data from these studies, it was clear that the relationship between the sweet drinks and metabolic syndrome and progression to diabetes was strong.

  Two Sugary Drinks Each Day Quadruples Risk of Elevated Triglycerides Leading to Weight Gain and Heart Disease

  One surprise finding was that excess weight gained by increased caloric consumption of the drinks does not directly cause diabetes. Study authors noted“Other factors independently put you at risk for developing diabetes.”While weight gain is a known diabetes risk factor, the diabetes-beverage link persisted even after adjusting for weight. Sugar from the beverages was behind the elevated risk for heart disease, metabolic syndrome and diabetes in this analysis of research studies.

  The scientists found that women, who drank at least two sugary drinks a day, were nearly four times as likely as those who consumed less than one to have high levels of triglycerides. Triglycerides are a fatty substance circulating in the blood and triggered by sugar and carbohydrate excess. High levels are a known risk factor for heart disease. In addition, they found abnormally high levels of fasting glucose, a precursor to diabetes. Supporting studies have found that even one sugared drink per day increases diabetes risk by as much as twenty-five percent.

  The numbers are staggering. According to the CDC, one in two Americans drinks at least one sugary beverage daily, and one in 20 drinks four or more each day. It will come as no surprise to most health-minded women that sugar from any source promotes chronic disease, and now we have firm proof that drinking our calories in the form of sugar is in part behind the explosion of heart disease and diabetes, especially in aging women. Substitute healthful drinks such as fresh water or green tea and dramatically lower your risk of life-shortening chronic illnesses. http://xoomaworldwide.com/jedediah

Optimize and Your dreams will come true.

Optimize and Your dreams will come true.

Stay true to all your beliefs and goals.
Stand tall.
Through all life's setbacks and disappointments,
your dreams will come true.

When no one else is with you,
and no one seems to care,
just whisper to yourself,
"I am the controller of my destiny.
It's up to me what comes to pass,
and if I keep my thoughts positive and strong,
my dreams will come true."

When what seem to be impossible obstacles
stand in your way, just think of all the times
you got through yesterday.
There is a place for you in this world.
Stay on your chosen path.
All the power is within you;
be true to what is in your heart.
Be honest within yourself;
if you are, then you cannot fail.

Your dreams will come true.

"Optimize" Did you know that drinking just one daily soda can put 15 pounds of extra weight on you in one year?

Did you know that drinking just one daily soda can put 15 pounds of extra weight on you in one year?

That sobering statistic was discovered by the Harvard School of Public Health, in a study published in 2006 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. For those with arthritis, weight gain means added pressure on aching hips and knees. But there’s more bad news. The phosphorus in soda is suspected of causing calcium loss. That’s an essential bone-building mineral people with arthritis can’t afford to lose!

The enemy: Free Radicals

Free radicals are the by-products of a normal and necessary event- the burning of oxygen by cells in your body to produce energy. These by-products are damaged molecules. They are missing an electron, and they ‘want’ one badly…badly enough to attack any nearby molecule get it. If they take electrons from important components in your body, such as DNA (your body’s master plan for reproducing cells) or from protein or fat, they do damage to those cells and precipitate health problems. Not only that, when a free radical reacts with a non-radical, a free radical chain reaction results and new free radicals are formed, compounding the problem. Over time, the cumulative effects of free radicals can contribute to premature aging and certain diseases such as artery and heart disease, arthritis, cataracts, and cancer. Free radicals can also be caused by environmental factors such as pollution, smoking, and ultraviolet light.

When I See Clearly...

02/15/2012

When I see clearly, I recognize the beauty and wonder in the trees and theflowers, and I feel the sense of awe that the wonder causes in me.

When I see clearly, I recognize the fears that other people feel when they deal with the rest of the world, and I stop judging them based on misperceptions.

When I see clearly, I recognize that the things that seem negative in my life also have their positive sides, and when I look more closely I see that those positive sides are stronger than what I see as negative.

When I see clearly, I recognize that the actions of other people that seem to be rude and obnoxious usually are a cry for attention, and I can help those people by giving them some needed attention (though not necessarily on their terms).

When I see clearly, I recognize that my world is an eternal world of spirit, and that all the things that are happening in life now will pass like the breeze, while the eternal part of myself will go on no matter what I have or don't have.

When I see clearly, I recognize that I won't always see the results of my actions, and that I need to let go of my need  to see those results if I want to foster my own peace of mind and spirit.

When I see clearly, I recognize that I am a part of a community of people that are interconnected and interdependent, and that I need to be an active part of that community on the level that best suits who I am.

When I see clearly, I recognize that the fresh air, the blue or cloudy skies, the sunshine and the snow, the winds and the rains, are all gifts that maintain the precarious balance of this beautiful planet on which we live.

When I see clearly, I recognize that other people aren't necessarily wrong just because I don't agree with them, and that there may be something important to learn from the people who disagree with me the most.

When I see clearly, I recognize the fact that I'm a very special person who has very special gifts, and that I'm just as deserving of my respect and love as anyone else is.

When I see clearly, I recognize that the mistakes that I and others make are part of being human, are part of the need to learn through experience, and should be dealt with accordingly and not judged harshly.  Some learn more slowly than others, and thus will make more mistakes.

When I see clearly, I recognize my need to be me, to be true to me, and to be the best me I possibly can be.  I have a responsibility to the other people in this world to do to others as I would have done to me, to speak to others as I would be spoken to, to give more than I would receive.

When I see clearly, I recognize that the world is a beautiful place full of wonders, that I am a beautiful person full of potential, and that each person around me is beautiful and loving and doing his or her best to make the best of life.
