So what is contained in a typical soda that may be found in a school vending machine? A 20-ounce screw-top plastic bottle of soda has 275 calories. While there are other ingredients such as flavorings and caffeine,repparttar soda is primarily sugar and carbonated water. High in calories and zero in nutritional value, it isrepparttar 144057 quintessential “junk food.” The Center for Science inrepparttar 144058 Public Interest refers to soft drinks as “liquid candy.” Sincerepparttar 144059 bottles have screw-tops,repparttar 144060 liquid may be sipped throughoutrepparttar 144061 day, thereby bathingrepparttar 144062 teeth with sugar and upsetting dentists. While it is unclear how many sodas a typical student might drink in one day, one is not a bad guess. Just one a day means 1925 empty calories per week. Heavy users drink more than one soda per day. Children who begin drinking soda when they are still young tend to increaserepparttar 144063 amount they consume through adolescence into young adulthood. Many children drink more soda than juice or milk. While juice and whole milk contain aboutrepparttar 144064 same amount of calories as soda, they contain useful vitamins and minerals. Juice and milk are far better nutritional options. Althoughrepparttar 144065 relationship cannot be proven conclusively, soda consumption correlates with obesity. Children who drink sodas take in more calories, are fatter and have worse diets than those who don’t. If you need to lose weight, start by replacing sodas with water, fat free or 1% milk, or 100% juice (but not too much). Copyright © 2005, by Weight Loss Buddy Press

Country Living... Help For Attention Deficit Disorder?

Written by Ron Rougeaux


Continued from page 1

If possible, people with Attention Deficit Disorder should try to live in areas with natural green spaces, trees, and wilderness areas. Not in crowded cities where they have to deal with traffic, congestion, constant noise and commotion.

A team of researchers atrepparttar Human-Environment Research Laboratory atrepparttar 144011 University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign...is currently doing a lot of research aboutrepparttar 144012 effect of nature on Attention Deficit Disorder.

"We knew from our own studies and those of other scientists that in general, green is good...for ADD ADHD however, green is great," said Professor Frances E. Kuo, co-director ofrepparttar 144013 laboratory.

Dr. Kuo and her team believe that there is something about being in nature that relaxes and renewsrepparttar 144014 mind.

The paradox is that most people suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder preferrepparttar 144015 stimulation of city life.
