Oh Man, Now I Have to Stop Drinking Coke Zero

Oh Man, Now I Have to Stop Drinking Coke Zero

I think I’m going to cry! I love Coke Zero – it was like the best thing ever. But now research says it might be destroying my brain? So I was looking for something interesting to write about and found something scary on a personal level. Big headlines about diet soda causing strokes and dementia! I read on and it only made me sad because I really like Coke Zero. I grew up drinking Coke – my dad was a huge fan and I’d been hooked on...

Another Great Reason to Run: It Adds Years to Your Life

Another Great Reason to Run: It Adds Years to Your Life

Everyone loves a good run here and there. Whenever you see commercials for being fit and healthy or for losing weight, it’s always this busty person running. Well – now the stereotype is proving to be true! I love a good run. I wanna say I’m an awesome, fit person who runs every single day (you know with the headband and mini-barbells in both hands?). But, sadly, that’s not me. I actually run for an hour once every two or...

If You’re Feeling Sick, Hit the Kitchen Before Going to the Doctor

Hey everyone! As I was sitting on the sofa enjoying a nice cup of herbal tea, I recalled something from last summer that I thought I’d share with all of you. It’s kinda appropriate since this summer is approaching rather quickly. Maybe it will help you out too! I Caught Something It was the summer of 2016, and I was rather busy! The weather was surprisingly nice on most days, so I was mostly out enjoying. I went to a bunch of health...

Maybe Getting Vaccinated Isn’t so Bad? (Well, for Some People)

Maybe Getting Vaccinated Isn’t so Bad? (Well, for Some People)

It turns out that experts think that Celiac’s disease is caused by a really common stomach virus that we all get. Maybe we should all get vaccinated against it? So today I feel kinda glum about stuff. LOL, this is starting to become a trend for me, huh? Seems like all of my recent entries start off with me feeling down. I swear, it’s not like that! I’m usually a really happy person. On the bright side, I did walk to the bank...

California Does It Again! This State Is Probably One of My Favorites

California Does It Again! This State Is Probably One of My Favorites

California’s always there to stand up for what’s right (most times at least). Now they’re going after cigarettes, the cause of so much misery. This is probably something you already know – but like, doctors are saying 90 percent of lung cancer is caused by smoking. That’s pretty much all lung cancer! How can cigarettes even be legal, right? But, sadly, they are – mostly because of smokers who can’t kick the habit...

When You’re Sad, Go Outside

When You’re Sad, Go Outside

Isn’t it weird that sometimes old wives’ tales and stuff your parents tell you end up on the front page of scientific journals? Why I Feel so Down and Some Personal Ramblings (Skip Please!) So when in my previous post, I said I was kinda disheartened with humanity because people suck. That whole week I kinda felt down – I mean, stuff that happened in real life didn’t help to argue against my newfound revelation regarding...
