The health of most Americans is in serious trouble. Obesity and diabetes are rampant and are huge risk factors for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in America. And, what is the primary cause of these serious health problems? We propose to you that it’s the evil being perpetrated by the dreaded snack attack. Just look in the many gas station convenience stores that appear everywhere across the land. What do they offer in the way of food? Most of these snack foods are loaded with refined sugar, white flour and processed fats—giant sized sodas and other sugar and caffeine-laden drinks, candy bars, pastries, chips and other snacks. The problem is a serious one. According to one source, 90% of our food budget is spent on processed foods. Another study showed that Americans’ favorite foods are (in order of preference): soft drinks, pastries, hamburgers, pizza, chips and popcorn, white rice, white bread, cheese, beer and French fries. Just look in the shopping carts of most Americans at the supermarket checkout and you’ll realize why we spend more money on medical care than any other nation in the world. If we want to be healthy, we need to change. That’s really easy to say, but… How Do You Stop the Dreaded SnackAttack? You know what we’re talking about. It happens to people who are trying to lose weight or eat healthier all the time. You start off really good, eating a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, high quality meat and whole grains. Then you fall victim to the snack attack. You start craving your favorite junk foods —potato chips, donuts, cookies, cake, ice cream and sodas. The urges become overwhelming. Your willpower flies out the window and bam! You are the victim of the dreaded snack attack. Let’s face it, you’re not going to overcome your desire to snack. It’s ingrained in your system. In fact, our bodies work better when we snack regularly. Yes, that’s right. Our metabolisms perform better when we “graze,” eating small amounts of food frequently, rather than a few big meals. So, the secret to getting the snack attack under control isn’t willpower. It’s really about changing your choices of snack foods and beverages and taking supplements to balance your blood sugar and give your body the good fats it needs. In other words… You are not helpless in the face of the snack attack! Inside this newsletter are numerous tools that can help you prevent your good health from being assaulted by fending off the dreaded snack attack. Don’t Pop That Soda! According to some current research, 7% of the calories in the average American diet come from soda pop. When you see the giant sized soda Americans drink and the amount of soda in the average grocery cart, it’s easy to believe. Just limiting sodas and sugary drinks to the occasional treat would improve the health of most Americans. Instead of drinking soda pop and other sugary drinks, consider the following. Hydrate Yourself Coffee, tea, alcohol and caffeinated sodas all act as diuretics, so they actually flush water from your system rather than hydrate you. The body also uses the water in sugary drinks to dilute the sugar. As a result, most Americans are badly dehydrated. So, pure water should be your beverage of first choice. Since tap water is loaded with chemicals that result in a bad taste, investing in a filter or better yet, a Nature’s Spring Reverse Osmosis Unit, will automatically result in a desire to drink more water. To stay properly hydrated, try to drink at least 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. That means a 150 pound person should drink about 75 ounces of water per day. A quart is 32 ounces, so that’s a little over 1/2 gallon per day. Some people find it difficult to drink just water. So, if you need something to flavor your water, here are some tips. It’s Easy Going Green Many people have found that adding some Liquid Chlorophyll to their drinking water makes for a refreshing and energizing drink. Chlorophyll helps oxygenate the body, which results in better energy. It also acts as a natural deodorizer, blood builder, digestive aid and antioxidant to reduce your risk of cancer. Even kids and animals tend to like it. For a great pick-me-up drink, add a little powdered Vitamin C Abscorbates and Herbal Punch along with the chlorophyll. This provides a big energy boost without the “let-down” of caffeine. Herbal Punch is sweetened with natural honey. Health-Protecting Refreshment Want a pleasant-tasting beverage that also has great health benefits? Add an ounce of Thai-Go to a glass of sparkling water for an instant spritzer. Thai-Go is one of the most powerful antioxidant drinks in the marketplace. This pleasant-tasting juice reduces inflammation, helps ease pain and protects the body against free radical damage. To beat the summer-time heat, try adding some Thai-Go to a natural lemon-aid made with real lemons and maple syrup. This beverage really cools down and refreshes the body. It even helps recovery from sunstroke and heat exhaustion.
