) In the first 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor, allowing you to keep it down.
2) 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (And there’s plenty of that at this particular moment.)
3) 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate; your blood pressure rises; as a response, your liver dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked, preventing drowsiness.
4) 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production, stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
5) > 60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium, and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
> 60 minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium, and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolytes, and water.
> 60 minutes: As the rave inside you dies down, you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Cola. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like hydrating your system, or building strong bones and teeth.
This will all be followed by a caffeine crash in the next few hours. (As little as two if you’re a smoker.) Want to know what happens after that? Check out what happens to your body after you drink a cola, every day for a long time.
Cola itself isn’t the enemy here. It’s the dynamic combo of massive sugar doses combined with caffeine and phosphoric acid, which are found in almost all sodas. Moderation, people !

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), more than one million people in the United States get cancer each year. A poor diet can contribute to the development of cancer, so it is important to eat healthy. The ACS recommends healthy food choices with a focus on plant-based foods. Eat fresh, eat well and real foods. Eat more of the following:
1. Blueberries: Many of the major diseases are caused or developed by chronic inflammation. Inflammation promotes free radicals, which lead to dangerous oxidation, cell damage, and cancer. The more these free radicals thrive, the more they multiply. The flavonoids in berries, which are part of a family compound called polyphenols, are what make berries so healthy. Polyphenols promote “the expression”of genes that reduce inflammation and also promote the body’s antioxidant system.
2. Pineapple: New research shows that the bromelain in pineapples helps with cancer treatment. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, “Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme, which can be helpful in treating cancer because it helps restore balance to your immune system, among other cancer-fighting benefits.”
3. Ginger: According to a Georgia State University study, ginger root may actually kill human prostate cancer cells.
4. Spinach: Spinach is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. A study in Japan showed that some of the nutrients in spinach may help protect DNA, reduce cancer cells, and slow tumor growth.
ACTION:
1/2 pineapple
1 cup of blueberries
1/2 inch piece of ginger
1/2 cup of spinach
Drink immediately
You can drink this juice once a day on a regular basis
Make sure the ingredients are organic
Enjoy!
As always: Consult your health practitioner before changing or including anything new to your diet.

It's not as easy as you think.
It's important to know how and when to eat.
DON'T EAT FRUIT AFTER MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
It will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....
Eat fruit on an empty stomach or before meals! People complain, "Every time I eat watermelon I burp; when I eat apples, my stomach bloats up; when I eat a banana�� I feel like running to the toilet, etc ” This will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas, hence you will bloat!
Gray hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under eyes will NOT happen by taking fruit on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon ��are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. Master the correct way of eating fruits, and you will have beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
Drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: ��A good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: .. have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessening the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. A key source of lycopene the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: �� for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; good for your eyes.

Detect Cervical Cancer Using Vinegar Test.........
Cervical cancer risk can be cut down by having a simple vinegar test. Cervical cancer is a deadly cancer that affects women.
Cervical cancer causes 11 deaths in every 1,00,00 Indian women. That is very high statistic considering the world standards. Cervical cancer is a deadly type of cancer that affects women. It is a unique type of cancer because it is caused by a virus. It is the only type of cancer that can be passed on like a sexually transmitted disease. This cancer attacks the cervix of women and spreads quickly.
It has so far been very difficult to stem the flow of cervical cancer because it hardly shows any symptoms until it is too late. Most women are unable to detect the first signs of cervical cancer and perish due to it. So the only way to cure the risks of this cancer is through regular screening. So far, only pap smear test was done to detect this type of cancer.
But, pap smear tests are expensive and not very popular in India. So while the developed world has cut the risks of this cancer by doing regular pap smear tests, India and other developing countries are facing the challenge. The only other way to protect yourself against cervical cancer is vaccine. The vaccine too is expensive and not widely available. And to solve the problem, the doctors at the Tata Memorial Hospital have introduced the vinegar test.
The vinegar test is both easy and cheap. In this test, a woman's cervix is first swabbed with vinegar. A few minutes later a light is used to inspect the cervix. Cancerous tumours are supposed to turn white when they come in contact with vinegar. It is not known whether the vinegar test is 100 percent full-proof as of now. However, we certainly know that its quick and feasible. A test study done in Mumbai has given encouraging results. The doctors of the Tata Memorial Hospital are busy training personnel for carrying out the tests on women from rural areas of Maharashtra.
As this test is cost effective and the results are immediate, a lot of women are expected to come forward for regular screening. Besides the kit for this test can be easily circulated to the remotest villages and para-medics can be trained to do it in no time. Early detection is the key to survival for all types of cancer. That is why, this test is of vital importance for the health of Indian women.
The vinegar test is expected to cut the risks of cervical cancer to a large extent in India and other developing nations.
