We went on a stroll several weekends ago around the neighborhood, stretching our legs and airing out the dog, who had to be pried from his warm cushion inside. During our walk we happened upon a strange sight in a wooded lot nearby.
At the woods edge, a man and a woman were sorting through at least ten huge black garbage bags. Their hands were covered with thick gloves, their heads were wool-capped against the chill. Steamy breath escaped from their faces as they worked over the bags, their backs bent low.
It’s time to put energy drinks in your rearview where they belong.
Instead, rev up with all-natural, zero-calorie True Citrus flavors and nature’s finest performance fuel, water!
These days, buying fruits, vegetables, eggs and meats grown close to our homes is the new trend.
“Locavores” help the environment since local foods don’t use as much fuel for transportation. They improve their health since local foods don’t need preservatives. And locavores help their community’s economy by keeping small farmers in business. So definitely, buying locally-made food is a fabulous thing!
February is not just for Valentine’s, it’s also American Heart Month. And this year both come at a time when new research tells us that fried foods might not be as bad for our hearts as we thought!
Fried foods have long been linked to high blood pressure, cholesterol problems and of course weight gain. These are all risk factors for heart disease, so common that every year, womens’ deaths from heart disease outnumber deaths from all cancers combined.
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and showing your better “half” a little extra TLC has always been considered absolutely necessary during this hallmark holiday. (As if you weren’t showing enough the other 364 days of the year, right?) Well, if you’re anything like us, we're a bit skeptical about February 14th - all of the hype and anticipation over a dozen red roses and countless boxes of chocolate. However, many of you still deem this satisfactory and appropriate for a holiday that screams love and affection. All we're left with to contemplate is a few empty calories and a lack of creativity.
Identical twin studies prove it.
“Genes are highly over-rated,” said Dr. Darrick Antell, author of a study on twins that says lifestyles are really what determines how old you appear to be, especially smoking, sun exposure, stress levels and alcohol use.
Here at True Citrus, we’ve already written about the 2005 University of Texas Health Science Center survey that found that a 41 percent increased risk of being overweight for every can of diet pop consumed per day.
Now it’s becoming even clearer that diet sodas cause weight gain!
“Lemon Water Weight Loss.” Those four words are a Google search phrase we came across as we were researching how important water is for weight loss.
And when we clicked on lemon water weight loss, hundreds of articles and stories came up. Like “How to Lose Weight for Christmas with the Lemon Juice Diet”, and “How to Use Water with Lemon for Weight Loss” from eHow.
YouTube videos, other blogs, even Livestrong.com joins in with a hot water and lemon recipe for losing pounds and inches!
