Drink Pop, Gain Weight

9 09 2009

Soda pop has been a hot topic for many years when it comes to women’s nutrition and weight gain.

Since the public is now clearly aware of how much sugar goes into one can of pop people are moving away from the popular beverages to bottled water – which is good but I still think we’re guzzling down way too much pop for our own good.

How To Avoid The H1N1 Flu Virus

9 09 2009

To say that there’s a great deal of panic over the so-called “Swine Flu” which is also known as its actual name – the H1N1 Flu, would be a dramatic understatement. The fact that the flu comes with the potential for death has a significant negative impact on people’s psyche.

That’s why it is necessary to take the right steps to prevent the flu from taking a foothold.
