Page 23: Helping Your Community

January 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Health is not only on the outside, but on the inside. I believe that in order to shine, truly shine, you have to help the less fortunate and do good things. That’s why I think that this year everyone should do community service. It’s really easy to help your community. Helping could be doing a neighbors yard, or doing the dishes for your parents. You don’t need to be a superstar and raise millions of dollars, but just do the little things that no one likes. If you’d like to share your stories you can leave a comment on my blog. Also if you have any questions or comments, I will answer them in my next blog posting. So feel free to send some in!

Page 22: Diet Soda vs Soda Soda

January 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Which one are you supposed to drink? NEITHER! But when you feel like you NEED a soda don’t head for the diet soda. Studies show that while both sodas make you fat, diet soda makes you fatter faster. For each can of a diet soda you drink per day, your risk of becoming obese increases by a HUGE 41%

So when you are faced with the choice of what kind of soda to drink, go for a regular soda. The same studies show that drinking regular soda also contributes significantly to being overweight or obese. But there is another part to the story – the ingredients in diet soda could be very harmful to your body. My best advice to you is… DON’T DRINK THAT MUCH SODA AT ALL!  That is the best way to avoid this problem!
