Having 1 Sugary Drink a Day May Raise Heart Risk

Study: Men who drank 1 sugar-sweetened beverage daily had 20% higher risk of heart disease than non-drinkers. by: Kathleen Doheny for WebMD Medical News
On March 12, 2012, a new study suggests just 1 sugar-sweetened drink a day may be enough to raise a man's risk for heart disease. Men who drank only 1 sugary drink a day had 20% higher risk of heart disease than did non-drinkers, per researcher Frank Hu, MD, PhD, professor of nutrition & epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. "This study provides strong evidence that higher consumption of sugary beverages is an important risk factor for heart disease", he says. "Even moderate consumption, only 1 soda per day, is associated with a 20% risk." Hu's team followed almost 43,000 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Previously, they conducted a similar study with women. In that study, they also found a link between sugar-sweetened drinks & heart disease. "In this one we tried to replicate the results in men", he tells WebMD. The results are very consistent, he says. "That is really enhancing the validity of the findings." The Sugar Association took exception with the findings, stressing that sugar is not the main culprit, but lifestyle. So did the American Beverage Association.
Study Details: Hu & his team asked the men, aged 40-75, to report their beverage-drinking habits. From January 1986 to December 2008, the men reported on their diet & other health habits every 2 years. They provided a blood sample halfway through the study. As the researchers followed the men they looked to see who had heart disease, which was defined as a heart attack. During that time, there were 3,683 heart attacks. Next, the researchers divided the men into 4 groups, depending on their sugar-sweetened drink habits. These drinks included sodas, carbonated non-colas, fruit punches, lemonade, & other non-carbonated fruit drinks, but did not include 100% fruit juices. These groups were: No sugar-sweetened drinks Twice a month 1-3 times a week 4 times a week to 9 per day
Those in the last group were 20% more likely to have a heart attack than the non-drinkers, Hu found. This was true even after accounting for other factors, such as age, smoking, exercise, alcohol drinks, diet, weight, & family history of heart disease. They looked at blood samples. Men who drank sugar-sweetened drinks daily had higher indicators for heart disease than the non-drinkers. Those who had a daily sugar-sweetened drink had higher levels of blood fats, called triglycerides, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Another risk factor, they had lower levels of HDL, the good cholesterol.
What can explain the link? "There are at least 3 things going on,"Hu says. "One is increased body weight, an immediate effect of drinking sugar-sweetened beverages. The second thing is blood lipids. It increases triglycerides & decreases HDL." The drinks, also, increase inflammatory indicators liked with heart disease, he says, such as C-reactive protein.
Perspectives: Robert Lustig, MD, professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco, who has researched childhood & adult obesity, reviewed the findings. In his own research, he says, he has found a link between sugar-sweetened drinks & high blood pressure, another risk factor for heart disease. Christina M. Shay, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma, Lawton, found in her own research a link between sugar-sweetened drinks & heart disease in women.
The Industry Weigh-in: Charles Baker, PhD, chief science officer at the Sugar Association, takes issue with the findings. Singling out sugar is not the answer to fighting obesity & heart disease, he says. Instead, people should reduce calories & exercise more, he says. The American Beverage Association says other factors, such as stress, could have played a role.
Diet Advice: Those who love such drinks don't have to give them up entirely, Hu says. "One or 2 a week, I don't think that's going to be a major problem," he says. "We should treat soda as some kind of treat, not a regular event," he tells WebMD.
*The American Heart Association recommends drinking no more than 450 calories of sugary drinks a week. That's fewer than 3 12-oz. sugared drinks. On any day, about half the people in the U.S. drinks a sugary drink, the CDC reports. One in 20 drinks more than 4 12-oz. sugared beverages per day, it finds.
Omni 4®: A report by JAMA in June 2001, stated that the federal government is recommending all Americans take a multivitamin every day. Why? Because our soils are depleted of natural nutrients & our bodies don't get what they need each day in our diets. According to the Physician's Desk Reference, liquid vitamins are 96-98% absorbable, vs. only 10-20% of vitamins in pill or tablet form. Omni 4® is micellized, which means that the fat soluble vitamins are broken down into the smallest particles possible for faster absorption. Because of this process, your body will absorb what it needs & flush out what it doesn't. No vitamins are stored in your organs, unlike with fat soluble vitamins. Puts balance in your body & helps get rid of toxins that build up in your system. Most diseases & illnesses can be attributed to lack of proper nutrition. Taking Omni 4® every day will ensure you are giving your body what it needs. Also, contains CoQ10, "the spark of life," an anti-aging nutrient that helps with renal failure, congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes & more!
Omni Smart®: Also, known as a "roto-rooter" for your heart, has minerals & natural ingredients that support heart & blood vessel function. Heart attack & strokes are the leading causes of death for people over the age of 50. People who have a family history of heart disease would especially benefit from this product. Helps to lower cholesterol & blood pressure.
Extra Enhancers®: Stabilizes blood sugar levels. Also, helps to reduce, or stop all together, sugar cravings, converts sugars to energy instead of fat. It reduces the risk of glucose intolerance. GREAT for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia.
PhasoTrim®: Made out of white kidney beans, each phaso capsule blocks up to 400 starch/carbohydrate calories from absorbing into your system. PhasoTrim® reduces the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas & helps burn existing fat. Take it before that sugary drink.
OmniTrim Chito®: Chito® has the unique ability to attach itself to the lipids or fats in your stomach before they are digested. Chito® surrounds some of the dietary fat and prevents its absorption in the digestive tract. Because Chito® is not digestible, it has no calories. Chito®, also: Lowers cholesterol Raises HDL(good cholesterol) Aids in lowering blood sugar levels- both Type I & II diabetics Helps reduce blood pressure

How to Lose Weight Around the Clock

1. Get Some Early Exercise "Studies show that most people who wear pedometers clock up more steps before lunch compared to after lunch," says accredited dietitian Kate Di Prima. "Morning exercise raises your heart rate & metabolism early to give you physical energy for hours, so from that perspective it also helps burn more calories throughout the day." Depending on where you live, there are also generally lower pollution levels in the morning.
2. Have Breakfast "Eating breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, especially since we don't eat for around ten hours overnight," says Di Prima. "Eggs are a high-satiety food & good to begin the day with." Keep your carbohydrate intake light at breakfast if you're trying to lose weight; think one slice of wholegrain toast instead of two, and include beans or spinach rather than the empty calories of white bread, jam & butter. "Aim to get 25 percent of your total day's calories at breakfast, with five other small meals throughout the day. Think breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper & 2 small snacks inbetween.
I start my day with Omni 4® & Charge®.  Gives my body what it needs & energy!  Omni 4® & Charge® is a marriage made in heaven!
3. Skip the Morning Latte Forgo the large, full-fat latte in favor of a small, skim latte, or better still, try tea. "This will save a lot of calories," says naturopath Kevin Griffiths. "It will also help keep sugar cravings in check, and blood sugar levels on an even keel."
Extra Enhancers® & Charge® from Omnitrition® help balance blood sugar & stop food cravings.
4. Ditch the Juice Have an apple instead. "A glass of apple juice has the calories of almost three apples," says Di Prima. Studies also show that regular fruit juice intake may increase diabetes risk by 50% due to massive sugar hits. "Also, the fiber, which is what helps you fill up faster, is left out of the juice. By making this one swap you'll save calories every day."
I love apples!  But Fiber N Mor® helps to keep me regular, too.
5. Love Your Lunch "Don't eat at your desk. Get outside, go for a walk & be conscious when you do eat of what's going into your mouth," says Di Prima. "If you want to cut carbs, have a stir-fry with extra sprouts & veggies, but ask for fewer or no noodles. Eat fish with salad instead of fries, and if you must have bread, ditch the top of the sandwich & have it open."
I like to eat my lunch outside.  Get my Vitamin D & destress at the same time.  Omnitrition® has Phaso Trim® & OmniTrim Chito® to block carb & fat calories, too.
6. Avoid the Afternoon Sugar Slump If you don't want to look like the 'Michelin Man', drink water & avoid soft drinks. A Harvard study of 6000 people found that drinking just one soft drink a day (diet or standard) increased the risk of obesity by 31%. And now there's more evidence that diet drinks are as bad as normal ones; one university study found that rats fed artificially sweetened drinks for ten days gained more weight than those fed sugar-sweetened drinks. Researchers theorize that when you eat artificial sweeteners, your body prepares for a large intake of calories. When these fail to materialize, your body demands food by making you feel hungry. Di Prima agrees. "Soft drinks are liquid candy. Aim to make water the main drink that passes your lips, outside of a daily coffee & a glass or two of skim or low-fat milk. And aim for a maximum three or four glasses of wine or beer per week. "Beat sugar & salt slumps by having solid food snacks at your desk, such as low-fat yogurt or fresh fruit."
Mid-afternoon when I start getting a little tired, I might take some more Charge®, drink Thermo Herbal Tea®, drink some water, or have half an apple.
7. Breathe Easier Although morning exercise suits many people, for athletes looking for that extra endurance, or for those who are asthmatic or easily exhausted, working out between 4pm & 5pm may be best. One study of 4800 people by the American College of Chest Physicians found that lung function peaks (at about 20% higher) during this period, with midday exercise returning the lowest lung function. "The main thing is to exercise at a time that's best for you," says Rob Daly, an exercise physiologist from the University of Melbourne. "For people with depression, sunlight in the morning is good. For others, afternoon works better. The main thing is to do it, not just think about it."
I no longer have any asthma issues thanks to Omni 4® liquid vitamins & Thermo Herbal Tea® from Omnitrition®!
Before I go to the gym, I take Charge® & Omni Sport®.  Omni Sport® gives me more stamina & endurance!
8. Enjoy a Drink There have been countless studies trumpeting the health benefits of moderate daily alcohol intake (emphasis on "moderate"), with wines, especially the newer organic breeds, linked to reductions in arterial & cardiovascular diseases. So go ahead & have one. But try to aim for low-alcohol (and therefore low-calorie) varieties, and don't be fooled by the latest low-carb beers; it's the calories that count, and there's actually little difference in calories content between standard beer & the low-carb varieties.
Take Phaso Trim® to help block carb calories & still get the benefits of drinking wine.
9. Stop Eating "Unless you are an insulin-dependent diabetic, it's better not to eat two to three hours before bed," says Di Prima. "If you are tempted, give your body an 'automatic' brain signal that eating is over for the night. This might include washing the dishes, putting away all the leftovers, flossing & cleaning your teeth thoroughly. If you've done this, you're less likely to be tempted to put anything but herbal tea past your lips late at night."
Sometimes I get hungry before going to bed.  I would eat an apple & still wake up weighing less!
Take Nite Lite® for best night's sleep & burns calories while you sleep!

Super Food for the Brain!

From Real Age: Antioxidant-Rich Blueberries: The Super Brain Food By Mehmet C. Oz, MD, and Michael F. Roizen, MD
Blueberries improve memory & learning, and delay age-related cognitive decline like that seen with Alzheimer's disease & Parkinson's disease.
	Omnitrition's Remind® is Complete Brain Nutrition.... You Won't Soon Forget! Omnitrition's Remind® is formulated to provide a healthy amount of Choline to support optimal memory. Choline and the rest of Remind's® ingredients, including vitamins & minerals, is what the brain uses to make the primary neurotransmitter, acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is involved with verbal function, the ability to write, read & verbal memory. A good example of what happens when the cholinergic system in the brain fails is what you see in Alzheimer's disease. It, also, has pyroglutamic acid to support memory & communication between both lobes of the brain and DMAE, which helps maintain mental focus & clarity of thought.
Blueberries are a super food for your brain. They're high in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants called flavonoids or polyphenols. Flavonoids interact with proteins & enzymes, in your brain, that keep your brain younger. Scientists don't know exactly how all those elements play together, but blueberry flavonoids do seem to keep you smarter. People who eat a high-flavonoid diet stay sharper than folks with low-flavonoid diets. In fact, drinking blueberry juice daily can improve your memory function by 30%.
	PhytoNutrients®: Omnitrition's® Stress Buster Also known as secondary plant metabolites, polyphenols are natural components of a wide variety of plants. Foods rich in polyphenols include: onions, apples, tea, red wine, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, & some nuts. Polyphenols are subclassified in nonflavonoids & flavonoids. Flavonoids have been linked to a lower risk of heart disease in some studies. One of the most important groups of phytochemicals are the phytosterols. These are plant based sterols that act to modulate the human endocrine system. One of the most important sterols is DHEA. Scientific research has found that adequate DHEA in the body can slow the aging process, as well as, prevent, improve, & often reverse conditions like cancer, heart disease, memory loss, obesity, & osteoporosis.
	SHIELD®: Omnitrition®'s Very Own Antioxidant! Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer, heart disease, as well as, other diseases. Heidi Whitehair, Buckley, WA- Since Alzheimer's disease & cancer runs in my family, I take my Shield® every day.
	Thermo Herbal Tea® from Omnitrition®! Includes highly beneficial effects of DHEA(Research indicates that DHEA has been shown to improve or stabilize signs and symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus.) Anti-aging Decreases body fat Increases muscle tone Increases bone density Promotes well-being & decreases pain Increases sexual function & pleasure Enhances activity of the immune system Improves memory Helps increase life span Improves quality of sleep Helps prevent cancer, arterial disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and helps treat Lupus.
Ready to keep your brain smart & young? Here's how to slip more blueberries into your diet: 1. Toss blueberries into a smoothie. Protect your memory & cognition by sipping a smoothie made with frozen blueberries, yogurt, or low-fat milk. Add half a banana & some flaxseeds to increase memory even more. 2. Enjoy a brain-boosting blueberry salad. Like most berries, blueberries are great with more than just cereal. Try them in salads, too. 3. Eat frozen blueberries. Fill ice cube trays with unsweetened blueberry juice & toss them into cold club soda. Bonus: Frozen blueberries maintain their nutrients & are relatively inexpensive.

How to Get Your Plate in Shape

March is National Nutrition Month!
1.  Make half of your plate fruits & vegetables.
Eat colorful fruits & vegetables.  Keep cut veggies on hand for snacks.  Eat fruit instead of drinking fruit juice.  Add grated veggies to lasagna or pasta sauce.  Liven up coleslaw, rice or quinoa with chopped fruits.  I like making my chili with lots of vegetables including:  onions, garlic, tomatoes, green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, dark red kidney beans, sweet potatoes, & mushrooms.  When eating out, make your side a healthy vegetable(not french fries or other fried potatoes or fried vegetables) & your dessert a fruit.
2.  Eat whole grain cereal & bread.
Have whole grain snacks like popcorn, just watch the salt & butter.  Phrases like "multi-grain", "stone-ground", "cracked wheat", or "seven grain" do not guarantee a whole grain.  Look for words like "whole wheat", "brown rice", or "whole oats" to ensure a whole grain product.
Take Phaso Trim® from Omnitrition® to cut carb calories.
3.  Eat a variety of protein-rich foods.
Increase your intake of plant proteins as they are high in fiber, low in saturated fat, cholesterol-free, & loaded with antioxidants. Plant proteins include: Dried beans & peas Hummus Edamame Tofu Nuts & nut butters Seeds
4.  Switch to fat-free or low-fat dairy.
Choose milk & yogurt more than cheese for less sodium & more calcium.  Use fruited yogurt with caution, as it contains more added sugar & extra calories.  I like eating plain yogurt with fresh fruit.
Get Omnitrim Chito® to cut fat calories.
Omni 4®, Omnitrition's® original product, contains a delicious blend of orange, papaya, white grape, and aloe juice concentrates that can be added to water or your favorite juice. Omnitrition® uses a specially patented micellization process that enables vitamins and minerals to become water-soluble so your body absorbs what it needs and flushes the rest. Therefore, your body cannot store toxic amounts. Omni 4®, also, contains Coenzyme Q10, which aids in the maintenance of a healthy immune system, may inhibit artery-clogging plaque buildup and potentially fatal blood clots, and is important in playing a part in releasing energy in food. Vitamins are beneficial to our bodies to keep us healthy and provide us with healthy teeth and gums, healthy skin, hair, nails and more. The Physicians Desk Reference states that 96-98% of liquid vitamins are absorbed by the body versus 10-20% of conventional pill vitamins.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

Do you take care of yourself & get screened?
Colorectal cancer is common & lethal, but your risk can be significantly reduced by what you do. More than 150,000 Americans were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2011. About 50,000 people died from the disease, making it the second-most common cause of cancer death. The number of people getting colorectal cancer & the number dying from it is decreasing, because of screening.
There are a number of factors that affect your risk, such as your age & your family history. The majority of colon cancers occur after the age of 50, & those with a first-degree relative with a colorectal cancer history have double the risk of developing the disease themselves. But there are other risks you have control over. A diet rich in vegetables, an active lifestyle & maintaining a healthy weight significantly reduces your risk, while a high-fat diet, obesity & a sedentary lifestyle increases your risk.
Omnitrition® has a multitude of weight loss products including Omni Weight Loss Drops® that is fast & easy!		So eat a sensible diet low in red meat & high in fresh vegetables. Be physically active. And be sure to get screened!
We know that screening for colorectal cancer is very effective in reducing cancer deaths. There are several ways to get screened, including x-rays & checking the stool for blood each year. A colonoscopy is an evaluation of the colon with a scope while sedated. It is the most recommended method by many national societies, because it not only can detect cancer & polyps that grow to become cancer, but can also remove the polyps.
Omnitrition®, also has nutritional supplements that help prevent cancer including:
	Omnitrition's Thermo Herbal Tea® is more than a weight loss product. We like to call it a "Health Tonic". It contains: 1. Green Tea, which provides a powerful antioxidant & helps protect cells from damage linked to cancer, heart disease & other illnesses. 2. Theobromine aides in cognitive brain function, memory & well-being. It is, also, a natural diuretic. 3. Synephrine burns fat, increases physical performance & helps to build lean muscle mass. 4. DHEA is anti-aging! It decreases body fat & pain as it increases muscle tone, mobility, & life span. It promotes well-being, health & longevity, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces heart disease, improves sleep & helps to prevent cancer, arterial disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease & helps treat Lupus. 5. Tyrosine is a mood elevator, suppresses appetite, reduces body fat, aids in the function of the adrenal, thyroid & pituitary glands. It, also, helps with stress reduction, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, allergies & headaches.
	Phytonutrients® are nutrients derived from plants that have been shown to be necessary for sustaining life. Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention. 4 of the leading causes of death in the Western countries include: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, & hypertension. Phytochemicals are associated with the prevention &/or treatment of these diseases. They are involved in preventing cell damage, preventing cancer cell replication, & decreasing cholesterol.
	Shield® is Omnitrition's® innovatively produced antioxidant. Antioxidants help protect the body from harmful free radicals & toxins, that cause damage to cells, thereby leading to such infections & various degenerative diseases like heart disease & cancer.
	Last, but not least, Omni 4® liquid vitamins.  1. Puts balance in your body by helping to get rid of toxins that build up in your system. 2. Most diseases & illnesses can be attributed to lack of proper nutrition. Taking Omni 4® every day will ensure you are giving your body what it needs. 3.

Studies have shown breast cancer to be linked to a decrease in plasma Co-Q10 levels. Everyone should be on Omni4 ®!

Tips to Fight Fibromyalgia Fatigue & Boost Energy

Tips to Fight Fibromyalgia Fatigue & Boost Energy From Real Age:
1. Listen to Your Body When living with fibromyalgia, pain is likely the symptom that grabs & holds your attention the most. But fatigue can be just as insistent, and to make matters worse, it can intensify your pain & make it harder to cope. The good news is that you can break or at least minimize this cycle by taking practical steps every day to fight fatigue & elevate your energy. The first step: Listen to your body. When you learn to recognize the earliest stages of exhaustion, you can still do something about it before it lays you out flat.
2. How Exercise Helps When you're often tired, it's very tempting to sleep until noon & spend evenings on the couch. But the research is clear on the folly of this. Although it's important that people with fibromyalgia get extra rest, take more breaks, and avoid overdoing it with exercise, completely eliminating physical activity can be just as bad for your symptoms. So try to move some every day. First, check with your doctor on smart exercise choices. But even something small, like a 10-minute walk every day, can be helpful. You can gradually increase the amount as your doctor recommends.
3. Keep Your Schedule Simple You're no doubt aware of how excessive stress can trigger or exacerbate your fatigue. In fact, some research suggests that the onset of fibromyalgia could be triggered by a severely stressful event, such as a divorce, a job loss, or the death of a loved one. So priority one for you should be learning to say no. Not overcommitting is one of the best ways to keep yourself from feeling stressed. Use a day planner, and limit the number of things you schedule in a single day or week.
Get stress busting Phytonutrients® & take control of your life!
4. Pace Yourself Do you always push to the end, even though you're starting to feel it? Then it's time to learn how to pace yourself. Don't trust yourself to stop before you get tired. Plan projects in chunks right from the start. Break up laundry duties into 2 days. When you exercise, consider three short sessions instead of one longer one. Schedule a sitting break for yourself when you run errands. Above all, resist the temptation to take advantage of your "good" days. Aim to accomplish the same number of tasks on good days as you do on bad days.
5.  Develop the Art of Napping Naps can't make up for a chronic lack of nighttime sleep, a common problem for people with fibromyalgia, but a quick nap or midday rest can go a long way in minimizing fibromyalgia fatigue. So give yourself permission. Consider it essential. Even just a 10-minute power nap may recharge your batteries. And if you're tossing and turning at night, talk with your doctor about steps you can take to sleep more soundly.
Take Nite Lite® & sleep like a baby!
6.  Eat for More Energy Eating a healthful diet is important for everyone, but when you are living with fibromyalgia, it's critical. A nutritious, well-balanced diet that includes complex, fiber-rich carbohydrates can help keep your energy levels steady so you don't suffer from low blood sugar -- a condition that can make you even more tired. Aim to include lots of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables in your diet, as well as whole grains, lean protein sources, and healthful fats. And certain supplements, such as vitamin B12, D-ribose, and coenzyme Q10 may be helpful, too. Talk with your doctor about any supplements you are considering taking.
Omni4® liquid vitamins with CoQ10, Charge® & Thermo Herbal Tea® from Omnitrition® helps give you what your body needs & energy, too!
7.  Stay Positive It's not unusual to feel frustrated, anxious, or a little depressed when coping with the daily pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia. Feeling down sometimes is normal. But staying down is not. And what's worse, it will only make the pain and fatigue feel worse. To foster a more positive attitude, start by accepting fibromyalgia as a fact of your life and focus on the things you can control. More importantly, recognize that there are tools you can use to control your symptoms and counter the emotional impact, as well. Explore some feel-good therapies such as positive visualization & self-talk, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or meditation, whatever you need to do to foster a positive mindset.
8. Ask for Help When your fatigue simply won't fade, no matter how many energizing remedies you've tried, it may be time to ask for help. Remember, there is no shame in seeking the support of family, friends, & colleagues when the going gets tough. Let go of your misconception that asking for help is a sign of weakness. In fact, it's a sign of strength, because you've recognized the power of a helping hand in managing your condition. So consider asking a friend to run a must-do errand, or your spouse to cook dinner for a couple of nights, or your kids to help a bit more with the housework. It may be just enough to help you rejuvenate your energy stores.
