BANG is not for your health

I’ll probably step on some toes with this one but I’m putting out here because I love you.

No matter what the company tries to tell you THESE are NOT healthy you guys!
First of all there are several lawsuits against Bang for lying about what and how much is in their drinks ...

What they do have is Sucralose (an artificial sweetener known to wreck havoc on your body)
Here are a few things you may not know sucralose could be doing to your body....

Upsetting your natural gut bacteria balance:
🔹Causing insulin resistance that can lead to diabetes.
🔹Makes you hungrier and crave more sugar and carbs.
🔹Increased Fat Storage
🔹Causing headaches
🔹Allergies
🔹Preventing medication and vitamin absorption

But the FDA Approves it so it must be ok right?

Remember the FDA doesn't approve Baby Formula, multi vitamins, omegas or protein powders (they are monitored tho). They allow like waaaay too much to get through like the drug fen phen that hurt so many people or the gardasil vaxx that’s unimaginably awful (do your research friends).

So they aren’t my go to for health. I am Researching. Choosing to better serve my body daily and it sure as heck isn’t with these sugar filled monsters. We already have enough stacked against us these days, as a Fitness & health lover I’m saying please think twice before consuming these. Your body is worth more.

Sugar Effects

We are headed into the Christmas season and all those yummy cookies and candies will be plentiful. At work, at church, at your friends house, at Christmas parties.  So before you reach for that cookie let this sink in for a minute. Sugar...it's the devil!  It’s super addictive! The more you eat it the more you crave it!    I'm not just saying this, THIS WAS ME!


Here are just a few of the sugar effects:
* After ingesting any amount of sugar, your immune system is immediately compromised up to 80% for the next 4-6 hours. (Mine was basically a wreck 24/7?) 
* Sugar leads to insulin resistance which leads to diabetes
* Sugar causes inflammation in the body and also feeds cancer cells
* Sugar is one of the leading causes of obesity and inability to lose weight

Don’t you owe it to yourself to stop that vicious cycle?? I’m so grateful I took control over this almost four years ago when I made the choice to get my body more balanced. 

Corrosive Coca-Cola

Facts about Coca Cola…(not for the faint of heart)

Coke is a powerful cleanser:

It can dissolve a T-bone steak in two days.

Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let sit for one hour, then flush clean.

Pour a can of Coca-Cola over battery terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

Soak a rag in Coca-Cola and then place over rusted bolt for several minutes in order to loosen.

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

Commercial trucks delivering the Coca-Cola syrup (concentrate) must identify their shipment as Hazardous Material because it is a highly corrosive material.

Apparently, the distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, why would you do that to your body?

Don't go cheap with your health

I am all about finding ways to save money on products I purchase. I love Aldi, WalMart, Dollar General and thrift stores. However, not when it comes to my health. I only have one body and it is something I no longer scrimp on. I have decided to make ME a priority and invest in myself.
It is also so very important not to get sucked into thinking a product is healthy just because it uses the eye catching right words. Remember....Peeps are gluten free

Take the time to look at labels and ingredients. If sugar is in the first few ingredients, put that package right back on the shelf.
Are you ready to begin the discussion about prioritizing you? Let's talk.

Help with the sugar cravings

I am seeing several social media groups holding No Sugar challenges.  In fact, I am teaching a 'Five Days of Clean Eating' myself.   I love seeing so many people putting more of a priority on their health.

When doing the no sugar/cleaner eating thing, the cravings can make you really re-think this whole getting healthy thing.  Cravings are TOUGH.   You drink your water, eat your fresh and clean foods, cut out all the simple carbs....and you would gladly give a little Girl Scout $100 for a single box of Thin Mints!

In the video below, Dr. Axe gives some great advice on how to get through this cravings in a healthy way.    I love that he talks about Chromium, B Complex and Probiotics because these are all ingredients I talk with my clients about as well with my clean Plexus supplements.  Keep in mind, not all supplementation is created equal.

I applaud you for taking this step on your health journey!  Don't give up, don't give in, stay on track and be strong!

Stay away from the fake sugar

Knowledge is Power!

If you are still using artificial sweeteners, You need to read this! 

Artificial sweeteners are your worst enemy! Here's why:

Studies have shown that tasting something sweet enhances your appetite, regardless of calories, and consuming artificial sweeteners has been shown to result in even greater weight gain than consuming sugar.

Aspartame appears to have the most pronounced effect, but the same applies for other artificial sweeteners, such as acesulfame potassium, sucralose, and saccharin. Unfortunately, weight gain is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the health hazards of artificial sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners raise your risk of diabetes. A recent study in Nature told us why—they alter your gut microbiome for the worse. For example, best-selling artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose) can destroy up to 50 percent of your beneficial gut flora.

It’s been known for some time that consuming sucralose can cause or aggravate inflammatory bowel disease because of its interference with gastrointestinal function.
Both animal and human studies have shown that Splenda alters glucose and insulin function, thereby promoting weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
But there are additional concerns that sucralose may cause DNA damage, and when heated it releases chloropropanols, which are members of the extremely dangerous class of carcinogens called dioxins.

Artificial sweeteners are a group of chemical additives that should be completely avoided.

Instead of the fake stuff, stick with natural sweeteners such as raw honey, stevia and raw sugar.
