Feng Shui Fitness Tips: Being more mindful with Quality Food selection

As we all know the reduction in size of soda drinks sold in NY stores has gone into effect this week.  This is a controversial topic but all I have to say is this.  Take a look at the ingredients soda is made up of and perhaps you will not feel so negative about Mayor Bloomberge's decision.  

Breaking down Soda:

• The sugar added to soda is mostly sucrose that is made up of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose (GMO; Genetically Modified Organism).  This is one of the key ingredients to disabling your immune system and increasing your body's cells chances or reproducing Cancerous cells. This is a FACT.

• The preservatives added like citric acid and phosphoric acids help not only in preventing spoilage, but giving a distinct tartness or bite to the drink. If there is too much citrus acid or phosphoric acid in the blood, you will need calcium to help normalize the pH of the blood. The calcium is leached from the bones that leads to osteoporosis. If you are allowing your child to drink large amounts of soda during their most precious times of development, you are allowing a faulty foundation of health to be created.  Weak bones are created due to excessive soda drinking. This is a FACT.

Ladies, this advice of staying away from Soda is so important because as we grow older we become more prone to bone loss.  Fellas, you are in the same boat.

• Excessive caffeine in the body can cause dehydration of your system. It will also lead to large-scale depletion of minerals from the body. This is a FACT.

• When you see an ingredient added to "protect taste" or "preserve freshness," one such ingredient is sodium benzoate, added to beverages because it has the ability to kill bacteria and fungi and prevent mold; however, it can also eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver, cancer, and Parkinson's disease. Potassium benzoate, another such ingredient, is dangerous in much the same way. On occasion, calcium disodium EDTA is used instead to preserve flavor, and it may lead to gastrointestinal and kidney problems. This is a FACT.

• Here is my last fun Fact about Soda.  Soda is a home remedy to help clean out any clogged drain pipes in you home.  Due I need to say more??
  

So this is what people in New York are fighting to keep on the shelves.  Soda in a nutshell is a poison in small dosages, sorry to sound dramatic but it's true.  If you need more motivation to stop drinking soda, for all those looking to lose weight and tone up, cut back on your soda and Caffeine intake for one month while hitting the gym and see what happens.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised and never look back.

As your Certified Feng Shui Fitness professional and Certified Feng Shui consultant I cannot stress the importance to letting Soda go from you life. Or at least cut back on the amount you allow into your body.
