WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY THE HOUR AFTER DRINKING A COKE?

10 MINUTES
10 teaspoons of SUGAR hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don’t VOMIT as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.

20 MINUTES
Your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into FAT.

40 MINUTES
Caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure RISES, and your liver dumps MORE sugar into your bloodstream.

45 MINUTES
Your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain – a physically identical response to that of HEROIN by the way.

60 MINUTES
You’ll start to have a sugar crash. Enjoy.

AND HERE ARE SOME OTHER SHOCKING FACTS FOR YOU . . .

ONE SODA PER DAY INCREASES YOUR RISK OF DIABETES BY 85%!

SUGAR IS ACTUALLY MORE ADDICTIVE THAN COCAINE!

JUST ONE EXTRA CAN OF SODA PER DAY CAN ADD AS MUCH AS 15 POUNDS TO YOUR WEIGHT OVER THE COURSE OF A SINGLE YEAR! (NOT HOW TO LOOK BETTER NAKED!)

IF YOU ARE STILL DRINKING SODA, STOPPING THE HABIT IS AN EASY WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH.
WATER IS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE, OR IF YOU MUST DRINK A CARBONATED BEVERAGE, TRY SPARKLING MINERAL WATER WITH A SQUIRT OF LIME OR LEMON JUICE.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT YOUR KIDS SHOULD EVER DRINK SODA. NONE, NADA, ZIP, ZERO.
NO EXCUSES. DON’T BE IRRESPONSIBLE!

THE ELIMINATION OF SOFT DRINKS IS A COMPLETE NO-BRAINER!

SO CUT THE SODA AND LOOK BETTER NAKED!

22 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T DRINK


1. "You're so uptight." I may like to be in control, but just because I don't want a beer doesn't mean I can't relax or don't like fun.

2. "Come on, live a little." I am! Alcohol isn't the only way to do so.

3. "All I want is to see you drunk." Sorry to crush your dreams, but that's not happening. And if that's all you want in life, it's time to aspire for more.

4. "I'm going to get you to drink." No, you're not, the same way I'm not going to get you not to drink. People get to make their own decisions, and trying to change mine on alcohol will be a failed endeavor.

5. "Is it for religious reasons?" Whether it is or isn't, I don't think my refusing a beer should prompt an interrogation on my lifestyle.

6. "How are you doing this right now sober?" You're actually asking me how I'm talking to people at a party sober? Really? Surely you have too at some point. I don't know when this became a feat.

7. "You must think I'm such a mess." No, I don't think you are such a mess because you are drinking and I'm not.

8. "Aren't you curious?" No. If I were curious, I'd get myself a drink.

9. "I will get you a drink!" Gee, thanks, but save your $10 or however much that overpriced cocktail is.

10. "Do you think you're better than us?" Alcohol's a beverage, not a measure of moral superiority (or inferiority). So no, I just don't want to drink.

11. "You must hate being places where people are drunk." If I hated being somewhere, I'd leave.

12. "So what do you do then if you don't drink?" The same thing you do minus a beer in hand: go to bar, clubs, parties, etc. You can still go out and party drinking water.

13. "Don't you feel like you're missing out?" If I felt like I was missing out, I'd drink. Plus, you tell me stories of how hungover you are the next day, and it sounds pretty miserable, so I'm happy to pass on that.

14. "How old are you? Are you even 21?" It's flattering you think I look young, but yes, my ID does say I'm over 21, and yes, it's real. And if high school parties are any indicator, drinking isn't all too revealing of age anyway.

15. "What? Are you scared of it?" I'm just not interested actually, but it's scary how intense your pressuring is getting.

16. "Oh, we didn't invite you because you don't drink and we thought you'd be bored." That's pretty harsh and untrue. If I felt that way, I wouldn't come, but I actually wanted to see you because you're my friends (so act like them).

17. "Your not drinking makes it hard for me to relate to you." Try to get to know me, and I'm pretty sure you'd relate somewhere.

18. "You must have so much dirt on everyone, watching us sober." Of course, my favorite hobby is to collect blackmail and is the sole reason I don't drink. Actually, I'm not judging. Please stop judging me.

19. "You must be so against this stuff." Just because I don't want to have a drink doesn't means I'm against alcohol entirely and think it's the worst thing. It's wonderful for people who enjoy it. I just happen not to.

20. "I don't drink that much usually! Really!" You don't have to justify your drinking to me just because I'm not.

21. "But really, why don't you? Won't you? Please?" You can keep asking, but the answer is going to remain no. I'm just going to get more annoyed when you say it.

22. "Don't be lame!" Oh no! The threat of being uncool! Grab me five shots pronto! (But really don't.)

USING WATER AS A MEDICINE : DRINKING WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH



A current trend in Japan today is drinking water immediately after getting out of bed. Scientific tests have confirmed the medical value of this practice. This water treatment has been confirmed by Japanese medical authorities to completely cure certain diseases, whether they are more serious or simply mild afflictions. A list of these diseases follows.

Headaches, Body aches, Arthritis, Heart problems, Epilepsy, Obesity, Tuberculosis, Meningitis, Kidney diseases, Vomiting, Gastritis, Diabetes, Constipation, Uterine diseases, Ear and throat diseases

The Method

1) When you wake up, before doing anything, drink four 6 ounce glasses of water, or 160 milliliters. (If for any reason you cannot drink this much water at one time, you may start with as much water as you can drink, then gradually increase the amount.)
2) Brush your teeth and perform basic oral hygiene, then wait 45 minutes before eating or drinking anything.
3) After the 45 minute waiting period you may eat and drink normally.
4) Once a meal is completed, do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours.

Specific Diseases

Using the above method, the research indicates the number of days the regimen must be followed to cure each disease.

High blood pressure – 30 days
Gastric problems – 10 days
Diabetes – 30 days
Constipation – 10 days
Cancer – 180 days
Tuberculosis – 90 days
Arthritis – use the method for only 3 days the first week, then return to the regular daily regimen


Using this treatment method has no side effects other than increased urination at the beginning of the program. Drinking water and staying healthy and active are ways that will better out lives. Including this water drinking regimen will also help you to stay healthy.

Both the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals instead of cold water. Cold water slows down the digestive process and solidifies the oily foods you have just eaten. Once these solidified oils react with the stomach acid, it is absorbed more quickly by the intestine and lines the intestinal wall. The long term accumulation of these digested oils can lead to cancer. Perhaps Western cultures should adopt this practice, as there is everything to gain and nothing to lose.

About Heart Attacks

Women should be aware that pain in the left arm is not the only a sign of a heart attack
A heart attack may occur even without a chest pain
Other symptoms of a heart attack are nausea and intense sweating
About 60 percent of people who have a heart attack while sleeping do not wake up
Be aware of any pain that is in the jaw. You may be awaken from a sound sleep by this type of pain. It could be a sign of a heart attack.

Let us be careful and notice the possible symptoms of a heart attack. One cardiologist says that if we are willing to send this to everyone we know, and they do the same, at least one life will be saved.

Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.
