Too much cola has now been medically and scientifically linked to muscle problems, as well as other health conditions. According to the International Journal of Clinical Practice, or IJCP as many in medicine call it, a warning has been given by doctors who are seeing more people than ever who have muscle problems due to drinking too many soft drinks. The report is n the June 2009 issue of the journal, and it outlines the problems that doctors are seeing more frequently. Muscle problems are not the only medical issues with consuming large amounts of colas and other soft drinks each day, but it is a new one seen in higher numbers. Dr. Moses Elisaf, who works in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Ioannina, Greece, blames hypokalaemia, which causes the level of potassium in the blood to fall. Without adequate blood potassium levels muscle functions are impaired, sometimes only slightly but sometimes more severely. Dr. Elisaf has seen a number of cases, some with only mild muscle weakness but some with paralysis. All the patients recovered after being diagnosed, but according to many medical experts there is the chance of this condition being fatal because of problems with the heart muscles working and beating properly.

I’ve always had trouble sleeping at night for as long as I can remember. I’d toss and turn all night and wake up feeling like I had been in a train wreck. My mind wasn’t sharp and my body ached all over. For years I felt like a zombie just going through the motions. I’ve tried prescription sleeping pills and even over the counter ones but they didn’t work. I would fall asleep but wake up feeling like I had a hangover. My friend said she was using a natural sleep remedy called 40 Winks by Swiss Labs and that it was working great. I thought I would give it a try so I ordered some right away.

Two things that are important to me when I am taking a protein shake: it has to have a good taste and it absolutely must mix well. Tried the chocolate and it was terrible. Switched to Cocoa-Mochaccino flavor and it is great. Then I tried the cookies & cream and found it to be just as good. All of them can be easily mixed in water. Read the rest of this entry »

Everybody knows that the best way to get bigger and stronger is to increase testosterone levels in your body. I really enjoy working out hard in the gym but there is nothing more frustrating that busting your butt day in and day out while seeing minimal results. I had been in this cycle for awhile now. I’m in good shape and am proud of the body I have but for the amount of time and effort I put in at the gym I should have a lot more to show for it.

I was tired of feeling unclean after my periods and using douches that just didn’t seem to do the trick. I discussed my needs with my gynecologist and she recommended Vagi-Gard Povidone Iodine Medicated Douche Concentrate 8 fl oz. This douche is different from many of the leading douche brands in that it contains povidone. In fact the active ingredient in this douche by Women Vagi Gard is 10% Povidone-Iodine. This type of iodine is the same kind used in surgeries and medical procedures as a disinfectant or antiseptic solution. As a douche it has been recommended by medical and health professionals for decades because of its cleaning and deodorizing properties. I am thankful my doctor recommended Vagi-Gard Povidone Iodine Medicated Douche Concentrate 8 fl oz because it provided the results I was looking for.

Low Sugar Detour Bars, made by Next Nutrition, may look like a candy bar but they are so much more. When I first saw the display for these nutritious snacks I thought that they were candy bars, but then I read the label and decided to buy a few an try them out. The peanut butter and caramel peanut flavors sounded great, so I bought one of each. Two days later I was headed back to the store for more, and I have been using low sugar detour bars ever since. Next Nutrition has made a bar that tastes great but is packed full of protein and essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that I want and need.
