Recently I was at the grocery store in the organic section when I found new beverages called Nutrisoda. They come in a small can similar to Redbull but are quite different. Each of the seven flavors are packed with different nutrients. They don’t just refresh you, they revitalize you. They’re delicious, refreshingly carbonated nutrient-enhanced sodas with zero sugar, caffeine, sodium or aspartame. Here’s the run down…

FOCUS (Peach + Mango): Helps sharpen your thinking and concentrates the mind For more information click here

FLEX (black cherry + apple): Helps lubricate active joints and facilitates movement and flexibility For more information click here

The FDA approved orlistat capsules — called “alli” — as an over-the-counter weight loss aid for overweight adults.

That makes alli the first FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss pill. Orlistat is also sold in higher doses by prescription under the brand name Xenical

Singer Amy Winehouse has recently dropped to the very low weight of 98 pounds. She admits to having a problem but insists on working her problems out on her own.

“Someone tried to get me into a weight rehabilitation thing, but I’m the kind of person who can do it by myself,” she said. “I’m not in denial; I knew I had a problem, but it got to the point where it was like, ‘We want you to eat three solid meals a day,’ and I was like, ‘No girl under the age of 30 eats three meals a day. Girls eat two meals a day.”

She does NOT look healthy!!!

Tonight’s E! News featured a segment on Hollywood revenge diets so I decided to take some notes. The focus was on four recent heartbreak victims Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore, Carmen Electra, and Kate Hudson.

Reese Dropped 10 pounds and went from a size 6 to a size 2 after her October breakup from Ryan Phillipe. Her diet consists of a high fiber muffin for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch, and salmon with veggies for dinner. When it comes to fitness Reese runs 3 miles each day and does yoga.

Drew Barrymore lost 20 pounds after her breakup with Fabrizio Moretti. She lost the weight eating cereal for breakfast, a chicken sandwich for lunch, and fish with veggies at dinner time. Drew says she does pig out sometimes but makes up for it by running 5 miles everyday and lifting weights 5 days a week.

Even Carmen Electra lost 10 pounds after her breakup with rocker Dave Navarro. She dropped the weight by avoiding all salt, oil and butter. Carmen also regularly participates in belly dancing, yoga and ballet classes to keep her body in tip top shape.

After Kate Hudson’s separating with husband Chris Robinson she toned up by dropping 10 pounds. Kate’s diet secrets include eating smaller portions and organic foods. She also stays in shape with stripper aerobics and running around after her 3 year old son Ryder.

Did you know that the average nursing mother burns 500 calories per day? That’s how Golden Globe winner Actress Rachel Weisz lost her baby weight “I don’t really have a magic potion or pill.”I do Pilates. Nursing burns a lot of calories, 500 calories a day. So, if I could help promote breast-feeding, that would be a good way.”

Not only is breast feeding a great way to drop that baby weight, but is also beneficial to your child’s health. Breast-fed children are significantly more likely to do well in measures of stereoscopic vision than are those who received formula during infancy, according to UK researchers.

A new study gathered from tracking 2,000 US kids for the past five years suggests that hours of sleep matter. Children who got more sleep were less likely to be over weight compared to those who got fewer hours sleep.

An extra hour of sleep cut the likelihood of being overweight from 36 percent to 30 percent in children ages 3 to 8, and from 34 to 30 percent in those ages 8 to 13.

The researchers found that children who got less sleep were more likely to be overweight and have higher body mass index measures than those who got more sleep, even when factors such as race, ethnicity and parents’ income and educational level were considered.

To the parents of the world, PUT YOUR KIDS TO BED AT A REASONABLE HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!
