Kids may not be the only thing making you age.

I love soda. The combination of sweet and bubbly, it’s such a refreshing drink especially in the months of summer. However, there are always these studies coming out on the negative side effects soda has on your body. If you are a habitual soda drinker (and I know there are a lot of you out there, I was one) you may want to think twice about picking up that once a day soda if you want to obtain eternal youthfulness.

My suggestion, just incorporate more water, and let soda become a treat.

Ebola & The Media- Are they going too far? Read to See 6 Other Infectious Diseases That Pose You More Threat

Just like the Bird Flu, Swine Flu, Entirovirus 68, H1N1, SARS, Ebola has now risen for its 15 minutes of notoriety, unfortunately claiming the lives of thousands of people over in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Ebola is now threatening to make it’s way to the US.

My phone is constantly sending me CNN and New York Times updates on the latest development of Ebola. “BREAKING NEWS” is the headline that cried wolf, or is it? Is the media blowing Ebola out of proportion? Is it really a concern more so then the flu or cold? The symptoms (please take the time to look them up) are very similar to the Flu or Cold. The media has come out to say to the General Public, please do not lie about your symptoms. I think lying isn’t a concern as much as lack of symptom awareness as well as confusion. Is it just a scratchy throat? Or is it a symptom of more concern?

Now, this may be hypocritical of me to post an article published by one of the main sites who have put Ebola on spotlight, but I think this article raises awareness that Ebola isn’t the only illness you have to worry about, but rather there are other illnesses, (i.e. the flu) that have been around, will continue to rear its ugly head once every year. It is important to understand the illness, and take proper precautions to stay healthy. Get your flu shot, eat healthy and stay hydrated (and I am a HUGE fan of carrying Wet One’s/ Purel, just saying…)

Regardless, please stay safe and healthy as we enter into the holiday season. Click on the image below to read about other infectious diseases your more (or just as) likely at risk. Please also bare in mind that this is a post not to scare you in to eternal hiding, or to raise argument of the severity of Ebola.  This is just a post, to maybe ease your mind, that if it isn’t Ebola, something else may come along and to remind you, prevention is key.
