The Best and Worst Energy Drinks
Late nights, early mornings, and hectic lifestyles are a recipe for exhaustion. Many people wake up tired, hit a wall mid-afternoon, and fantasize about napping. A popular response to this lack of sleep is turning to energy drinks for that extra boost to make it through the day. Everyone has their favorite, but not all are created equal! We took a look at the best energy drinks – and worst energy drinks – out there and here’s what we found:
Why America is Getting Fatter: The Scary Truth about Obesity

All About Overtraining and how to fix it.
Many people engage in what I would call “under-reaching”. Individuals who “under-reach” typically arrive at the gym and perform light exercise at an intensity that is insufficient to achieve weight loss or boost fitness levels. However, there is a truth to the mantra “Something Is Better Than Nothing”, and even under-reachers are doing better for their bodies than if they hadn’t shown up to exercise at all.
The secret to get shredded.
Losing weight and shredding muscle to look lean (and sexy for some) is a process that takes time and effort, but if done properly, it can completely transform your body’s appearance. By following the below-mentioned tips, you’ll be on your way to a shredded body in less than three months.
The difference between Natural vs. Enhanced Lifters
I normally recommend a higher training frequency, both in the form of more weekly workouts as well as hitting each muscle (directly or indirectly) frequently during the week. That’s best for both enhanced and natural lifters, but it’s even more important for naturals.
While enhanced lifters can still get significant gains from hitting each muscle once per week, naturals need to stimulate each muscle at least twice a week, and ideally three or even four to get significant growth past the beginner stage.
Fasted Cardio – To Eat or Not to Eat Before Exercise?

Research shows fasting regenerates damaged immune systems
Prolonged fasting – not eating for between two and four subsequent days at a time – has been shown to regenerate the immune system and protect it from further damage. It is especially effective among patients who already have compromised immune systems, according to researchers from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.
Supplements sold by Walmart, Walgreens and other retailers don’t match the ingredients on their labels
The New York State Attorney General announced early last year that testing showed that supplements sold at Walmart, Walgreens, Target and GNC do not actually contain the herbs they claim to contain on their label.

Keto Diet Fundamentals. Everything you need to know!
First, let’s talk basics. Ketones are a fundamentally different energy source than the carbohydrates and fats your cells typically use for energy. It can take several days (or weeks!) of ketogenic, low-carb, high-fat eating before the body starts to produce ketones. And the time it takes to get into ketosis varies between individuals.
“Keto” comes from the word “ketogenic.” This is a scientific term meaning that the body is producing ketones from fat.1 When blood ketone levels exceed 0.5mM, the body has achieved “ketosis.” Ketosis can be naturally achieved two ways: through diet or fasting (meaning the body is producing its own ketones)
Stage 4 no more: Going vegan and stopping chemo resulted in one man becoming cancer-free
Health is defined by our daily activities and the food we eat. It’s a well-known fact that eating too much sugary foods and junk foods results in obesity, as well as chronic illnesses such as heart diseases, diabetes, and cancer. Now one man from Las Vegas managed to defeat a terminal disease, without the help of conventional medicine, by plainly going for a healthier diet.
Walmart, Costco, Kroger, Publix and Albertson’s all receive failing grades for selling meats loaded with antibiotics
If you’re regular at Costco or Kroger, avoid buying the chicken next time. Alongside Albertson’s/Safeway, Publix, and Walmart, these massive grocers failed when it came to selling antibiotic-free chicken to the public. All five retailers fell short in a survey conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), reported OrganicAuthority.com. Each one received a grade of “D” when it came to their lack of progress on the promotion of antibiotic practices, and their inability to provide antibiotic-free chicken offerings.
Can I take vitamins after the expiration date?
As long as the product is stored in a cool, dry place, it will retain its effectiveness for many years, long past its expiration date. So you don’t need to throw it out immediately after the day it “expires.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not force vitamin and supplement manufacturers to put expiration dates on their products. But they put those “Best Before” dates on anyway, and they refuse to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of those products past those points in time.
Not safe to eat: Rats fed lifetime of GMO corn grow horrifying tumors, die very early
During a two-year study, originally published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, Professor Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen and colleagues discovered that rats fed Monsanto’s “Roundup Ready” corn developed significantly more tumors than rats not fed GM corn. In addition, rats fed a GMO diet developed aggressive tumors and died sooner than rats in the control group, reports Natural News.
Don’t microwave your food… it’s just not worth the risk
Hopefully, you don’t have a microwave in your kitchen, office place, or college dorm.

5 weeds that are actually pretty good medicines.
Parasitical weeds that depend upon a host for sustenance, such as dodders and witchweed, are even more destructive. Then, of course, there are the noxious weeds, such as poison ivy and poison sumac, which contribute to little except worry amongst parents with small children. These are plants that deserve to be called “weeds.”
Your go-to guide to the best low-carb fruits to eat while on the keto diet
Since the keto diet strictly monitors your carb intake, you can’t overeat certain kinds of produce, especially fruits and vegetables.

These natural remedies for acid reflux really work
Maybe you’ve already experienced it: That creeping, uncomfortable burning sensation up and down your throat or manifesting behind your breastbone (making it feel like you’re having a heart attack!).

Beware of Health Foods….HuH??
Food labels are sales tools. It’s vital to remember that, so we don’t get sucked into believing the slogans on the front of the packets.
With more people aware of the connection between the food we eat and the health we experience, food manufacturers have responded. They’ve hit on a handful of market-tested words and phrases that help sell their products to the health conscious consumer.
And in this article, we’re going to unpack those slogans because many of them are misleading.
Glyphosate: The nightmare of all nightmares
She is the co-author, along with Anthony Semsel, of a report showing how glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup Ready herbicide, that is heavily sprayed on all GMO’s (soy, corn, cotton, canola, and sugar beets) is linked to autism, cancer, asthma, inflammatory bowel syndrome, obesity, depression, ADHD, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, infertility, and developmental malformations. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Nutritional psychiatry: Eat these foods to reduce depression
Results of a recent study show that changing your diet can significantly change your mood. This link between mood and diet falls under an emerging field of study referred to as nutritional psychiatry. The study, which was published in BMC Medicine, included 67 participants who all suffered moderate to severe depression. Each participant was given seven nutritional counseling sessions over a period of 12 weeks to encourage them to change their diets. These sessions included methods like motivational interviews, goal setting, and mindful eating.
Experts debate placing graphic warnings on sugary drinks
There is little doubt regarding the negative effects of sugar on human health, but the increasing incidence of diabetes worldwide proves that just repeating the facts is not enough to prevent people from indulging in sweets.

Top 15 foods that are so dangerous they’ve been banned from entering other countries, but are served in the U.S.
Many savvy and health conscious shoppers analyze food labels to know exactly what’s concocted in that jar, can or box. Conversely, millions of Americans, brainwashed by trendy advertising and/or scientific propaganda, remain clueless about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and other ubiquitous genetically engineered ingredients like MSG, maltodextrin, soy protein isolate, et.al. Food manufacturers spend lots of money concocting chemical additives to addict you. Some of these “foods” shoved down American throats are flat out banned in other nations. Distractify.com gives even the occasional junk eater fifteen reasons to just say no.
There is a lot of misinformation about protein and amino acids.
Twenty percent of the human body is made up of protein. Protein plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building blocks of it. A large proportion of our cells, muscles, and tissue is made up of amino acids, meaning they carry out many important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure. They also play a key role in the transport and the storage of nutrients. Amino acids have an influence on the function of organs, glands, tendons, and arteries. They are furthermore essential for healing wounds and repairing tissue, especially in the muscles, bones, skin, and hair as well as for the removal of all kinds of waste deposits produced in connection with the metabolism.
Stay away from Splenda
If there were a contest for the best example of total disregard for human life the victor would be McNeil Nutritionals – makers of Splenda (sucralose). Big pHarma would tie for a very distant second.
McNeil Nutritionals is the undisputed drug-pushing champion for disguising their drug Splenda as a sweetener.
Regardless of its drug qualities and potential for side-effects, McNeil is dead set on putting it on every kitchen table in America. Apparently, and it’s hard to believe, the drug makers can’t stoop so low as to deceptively masquerade their drug as a candy of sort. There is no question that their products are drugs and by definition come with negative side-effects. Rather than sell directly to the consumer, these losers have to go through the painful process of using doctors to prescribe their dangerous goods. But not McNeil.

What is the difference between Keto And Paleo Diets?
Focus on Ketone Levels: A Keto diet focuses on raising your body’s ketone levels by altering your food choices so you enter a metabolic state called nutritional ketosis. A Paleo diet doesn’t pay attention to ketone levels.
Focus on Food Quality: A Paleo diet focuses strongly on choosing whole foods that are nutrient-dense, high-quality, and free from toxins. A healthy Keto diet should also include high quality food, but this isn’t the emphasis.
Amount of Carbs: A Keto diet has a very low carbohydrate intake. While a Paleo diet is certainly lower in carbs than many other diets out there, it typically still has a higher carb intake than a Keto diet.
Amount of Fat: A Keto diet puts far greater emphasis on increasing your fat intake than a Paleo diet. Although Paleo does encourage eating healthy fats, it’s not typically as high fat as a Keto diet.
More drug than food? What you need to know about high-fructose corn syrup
Fructose means fruit sugar — but it’s not only found in fruit these days. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is found in an overwhelming majority of processed foods and beverages, from sodas to snacks, cakes and fast food. You could say that corn syrup is as ubiquitous in the food industry as it gets.
But despite assurances that corn syrup is no different to any other kind of sugar, the truth is that high-fructose foods are not so benevolent. In addition to a number of health consequences associated with over-consumption, experts now suspect that HFCS may be as addictive than alcohol or even cocaine.
The truth about real gains is to follow 3 simple steps.

Your stomach needs rest as much as your brain or muscles. You can’t solve complex problems for 20 hours a day. You can’t lift weights 20 hours a day. You can’t digest 20 hours a day.
In the Western world we are used to eating at least three meals a day. Breakfast is usually relatively early, after we awake or before work or school. We eat dinners late in the afternoon or early evening. We don’t give our digestive systems time to rest and rejuvenate.
