YOU SKIP SODA (EVEN DIET)
Scientists in Boston recently found that drinking one or more regular or diet sodas every day doubles your risk of metabolic syndrome– combination of conditions that increase your chances of heart disease and diabetes. The exact culprit isn’t completely understood, but it could be the caramel color added to colas and other dark sodas, which increased the risk for metabolic syndrome in animals. Experts also speculate that exposing your tastebuds to the sweet fizzy flavor of soda conditions you to crave sugary foods, which can lead to weight gain. Whatever the reason, it’s an easy enough habit to quit.
YOU E
AT AND DRINK PURPLE THINGS
Red wine, concord grapes, blueberries (okay, not quite purple, but close enough) all get that deep rich color from polyphenols- compounds that reduce heart disease risk and may even protect against Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research. So crack open a bottle of Pinot (don’t overdo it), snack on some grapes, or make a blueberry pie and ponder all the years that lie ahead. Talk about happy and healthy! Get healthy with these great recipes. Also check these great Antioxidants.
