Soda is Liquid Satan!

Okay. The first thing you need to do if you want to get healthy is give up your gross vices!

Brace yourselves: Soda is liquid Satan for your body!

For starters, soda's high levels of phosphorous can increase calcium loss from the body, as can its sodium and caffeine! Bone loss =Osteoporosis!

Not to mention that it is loaded with sugar by the boatloads!

Now don't go patting yourself on the back if you drink diet soda. That stuff is even worse! Aspartame (that is found in diet soda) has been blamed for a slew of scary maladies, like arthritis, birth defects, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's Lupus, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes! Not to mention when methyl alcohol and aspartame enters your body, it turns into Formaldehyde (this is cancer causing)!

The FDA has received more complaints about aspartame than any other ingredient to date! Want more bad news? When aspartame(found in diet soda) is paired with carbs, it causes your brain to slow down its production of serotonin. A healthy level of serotonin is needed to be happy and well balanced. So drinking soda can make you overweight, sick, and unhappy!

Ok. Those of you that are Coffee drinkers... you may want to re-think it! Think about how widely accepted it has become that people need coffee to wake up! you should not need anything to wake up. If you can't wake up without it, its because you are either addicted to caffeine, sleep deprived, or you just might be plain unhealthy!

Caffeine can cause headaches, digestive problems, irritation of the stomach and bladder, peptic ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, anxiety, and depression! It affects every organ system, from your nervous system to the skin. Caffeine raises stress hormone levels, inhibits important enzyme systems that are responsible for cleaning the body, and sensitizes nerve reception sites!

Furthermore, coffee beans, like other crops, are grown with chemical pesticides. One insecticide, D-D-7, has been banned in the United States, but is still used by other countries form which we import coffee beans. So every single morning, you are starting your day with a good old dose of poison! Don't believe me ... do some research :)

A much better way to start the day is with a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea-organic, of course! Decaffeinated green tea is what I recommend. It is like a wonder drug. Its anti-aging and antibacterial qualities are as renowned as it's reputation for fighting cancer, combating allergies, and lowering blood pressure!

BE WARE of the words "fat-free" or "low-fat," think of the words "chemical crap storm" Read the ingredients! Always remember that sugar, like coffee, creates an acidic environment in your body! Acidic foods cause your body to produce fat cells. ACIDIC SUGAR= FAT!
