Diet in a bottle? Not!

Many of you might have seen the segment on national TV this morning for Acai berry drink. The segment was debunking this product, and how thousands of duped consumers were writing complaining. Yipppee. You may be getting very compelling (spam) email from “Oprah” and lord knows who else on this and other bottled “diet” miracle drugs. They are FAKES - imitating Oprah; just like people mimic your own email and send you spam from your email!  Anyone trying to sell you weight loss pills, endorsed by any celebrity are fake. Fake like the spam saying “We have 1 million dollars for you; I’m a barrister in London and will pay you to hold it for me”. That kind of fake. All diet emails you get are junk. Yes, fake. Lures. Spring is high season for this kind of  false advertising.  

Stress is a normal part of life, be it physical or mental stress. We’ve all experienced it due to illness, relationship stuff, job loss, death of love ones, daily worries, etc.  Stress can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, insomnia, and stiff muscles to name just a few. I’m going to start posting every week, something you can do to help cope with stress. The obvious one I preach is exercise. You ALL know the stress reducing benefits of regular exercise, so I’m not starting there. 

Walking or running in old, worn out shoes can lead to an increase in injury. Over time, they lose their stability, cushion and tread. When asked how often to change, I usually say, being realistic, around 500 miles, plus or minus. When you hit that target of 500 miles depends on how often you wear them, where you wear them, your body weight, walking or jogging, the surface you’re on, and so on.
