Review: Arthur’s Acai Plus Natural Smoothie

I want to share with you an excellent product out there today and one truly worthy of the labels “natural” and “healthy”. This product is Arthur’s Acai Plus Natural Smoothie.

Arthur’s Fresh Company has been farming and making juices naturally, sine 1893! The company started as a small family run business out of Goderich, Ontario. The company prides itself on processing only the freshest, highest quality ingredients, with their ultra gentle processing system that maximizes both the nutrients and fresh tastes in their products. The company has an excellent reputation where true “health food” and consistent high-quality is concerned. However, as much as I would love for all of our international readers to try this or any of their other products, it is only available in Canada.

Although all of Arthur’s Natural Smoothies are truly outstanding in both taste and quality, this one was of particular interest to me due to the latest slew of research on the acai berry. And also, even though I would normally say, buy your own fruits and veggies and make your own all-natural homemade smoothies, again due to the Acai berry, this smoothie is worth talking about and considering.

Coca-Cola: Maybe the Real Thing, But Definitely Not the Healthy Thing

Today we dissect another hot topic for anyone who is serious about their health and for those who should know, but perhaps don’t, about one of the most popular products out there for over a century, and its serious effects on your health.

What is that product? None other than the soda drink, known as Coca-Cola or Coke.

Back in August, I wrote an article entitled “Do You Know What Is In Your Soft Drink ?” and dissected for you the average soft drink - all except colas that is. Colas, as I told you then , needed their own article for the sheer volume of information that I wanted to share with you about them - especially Coca-Cola, the original leader of the pack.

Hence today we are going to learn the brief history of Coca-Cola, what is in some of the different types of Coca-Cola out there and what effects do these ingredients have on your health.

By the way for those of you wondering why Coca-Cola and not Pepsi, well don’t worry. Pepsi is not off the hook in any way, I just figured we would go to the original source of this drink and by covering this one, I think we can easily see that Pepsi or any cola for that matter is in the same hot seat.

Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2007 Conference DVD Set

To continue to celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month, I wanted to share with you, one of the most amazing health resources out there that has had an incredible impact on my own life and health, as well as friends and coworkers that I have shared it with.

One of the most known vegetarian sites out there, VegSource held a Healthy Lifestyle Expo last year in 2007, as they have done so for the past few years.

During these expos, various famous and accredited doctors and other key note speakers present health information. After this event took place live, VegSource compiled the workshops and made a Special Edition 3-disc DVD set called “Get Healthy Now! - You really ARE what you eat!

In fact, if you are not a vegetarian, please do not stop reading because this video is an amazing health resource period. It will open up your eyes to things about your health that you never even imagined.

It presents up to date, practical and mind blowing medical data where our health is concerned! It explains a lot in regards to why our population and Western society is the way it is, in terms the types of diseases we get and other negative body conditions.

Thus in this post I will tell you a little bit about this resource and what I learned from it and what you can expect to learn from it.
