My Christmas Anti-Gift to You: 143 Reasons That Sugar Destroys Your Health.

December 24th, 2009

sugar2

OK, I am going to be the bad guy this Christmas.

Call me Scrooge.

Call me The Grinch.

But while hundreds of e-mailers, bloggers, and internet health gurus are sending out special generous gifts, articles and e-books during this holiday season, I am going to rain on your parade. I am going to give you an anti-gift. It is probably something you will think about when you are eating that holiday cookie or piece of fudge.

However, I do know that there are those of you out there who need help. You don’t want to repeat the vicious cycle of arriving at January ten pounds overweight. You don’t want to have to give some lame excuse to your friend or family about how you can’t eat Grandma’s special brownies. You need a mental defense for yourself to remind your brain why you’re going to have self-control and why you may not need all that sugar after all.

So I present to you an article, written by Nancy Appleton, PhD, and G.N. Jacobs and used with Dr. Appleton’s permission. This article is entitled “143 Reasons Sugar Ruins Your Health”, and is an excerpt from Nancy’s shocking but well-researched book “Suicide by Sugar”, which you can look at by clicking here.

Ever Heard of This Sports Drink From Nature? Guest Post by Clif Harski…

December 21st, 2009

green_coconut_with_straw

Back in October, I asked Ben in an email what he thought about coconut water, and where it could fit into your training and nutritional regime.  He was polite enough to ask if I wanted to write a guest blog about coconut water and my own experiences with it. So, here is my blog on coconut water, and I’ll start by answering Ben’s usual first question in his interviews:

“So Clif, tell me about yourself and your background.”

My name is Clif Harski, I have a BS in kinesiology, and am an ACE fitness certified personal trainer.  I played college basketball, and have been an exercise fanatic since a kid.  I’m also a manager at Trader Joe’s here in San Diego (Trader Joe’s is a grocery store with a focus on natural foods).  My job at Trader Joe’s and me being a “supplement junkie” has seen me try uncountable numbers of training concoctions and aides.

I actually discovered coconut water on a Saturday morning while my body was reeling from an excessive celebration for a friend’s birthday and I was looking to rehydrate my body.  Being a grocery store manager and an avid connoisseur of new and interesting beverages I picked up a cardboard box of cold coconut water, and checked out its nutritional information only to find the following:
