DIET DRINKS AND CARDIOVASCULAR RISK

    Are you still drinking diet sodas or diet fruit drinks?  Another study has confirmed risks for consuming these drinks.  Ankur Vyas, MD,a cardiovascular diseases fellow at University of Iowa Health  Care, in Iowa City, Iowa, reported on an observational study of almost 60,000 women who had an average age of 62.  He found that drinking two or more diet drinks per day resulted in a 30% greater risk of heart attack or stroke than those who rarely or never drank diet fruit drinks or diet sodas.  It is theorized that the reason for this result is that these drinks may cause metabolic syndrome and weight gain which raise the risk for heart disease.

    Thinking about giving up diet drinks?  Hypnotherapy can be a valuable tool to let go of this old bad habit and BE WELL.
