Low cal pop only allowed in US schools

Today I read a story that has been covered everywhere about how US schools are going to stop selling high calorie pop in schools and are going to instead focus more on juices and bottled water.

When I was in high school many years ago it was not acceptable to be drinking pop and eating junk food out of the machines, at least it was not for me. Now I look at my daughter who does not eat any junk food almost because of the strictness of my wife and watch my son try to get more candy all of the time. I myself do not always set a very good example, I set a great example for exercise and tell the kids what is good and bad to eat but I still bring a big bag of food to work every day and eat chocolate and pop everyday.

I am happy to see that the schools in the US will stop selling high sugar pop and instead focus on water and juice in the machines but really as a culture we need to go farther. The kids will just bring their own pop or have it after school but there needs to be less of an entitlement culture in North America when it comes to food. we need to decide that fitness and health are up to us as individuals and that the governments are really partners with us in education.

I will not get into the rage I feel when I see the giant lineup at a fast food drive thru of fat guys smoking cigarettes but still if we all decided to make a healthy lifestyle a priority I believe we would all be better off.

Pineapple Body Scrub

A body scrub can make you look and feel better. The idea of getting rid of dead skin especially as sking is approaching will make you look healthier even if it does not actually really make you healthier.

Next time you serve fresh pineapple, reserve the rinds to use later in the shower to slough off dead skin cells on your elbows, knees and heels.

The unique enzyme found in pineapple, known as bromelain, has many important dermatological benefits. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it useful in soothing insect bites and minimizing unsightly bruises. For our purposes, bromelain’s enzymatic processes have an exfoliating effect which, added to the natural abrasion from the fleshy inside of the pineapple peel, works wonderfully in smoothing rough, calloused or flaky skin.

The optional almond flour/ground almonds also work gently to remove dull, dead skin cells, both through the exfoliating effect of their granular texture as well as through their relatively high beta-hydroxy acid content. Almonds are also one of the highest sources of vitamin E — an antioxidant that mops up free radicals while protecting other vitamins and nutrients from oxidative damage, allowing them to do their work.

Because pineapple is slightly acidic, this treatment should not be used on your face.

Ingredients:
Pineapple rind, cut into wide slivers
Almond flour, prepackaged or finely ground almonds (optional)

Directions:
Take pineapple peels — cupping rough side in your hand — and either using alone, or with a sprinkling of almond flour, rub the fleshy side of the rind on problem areas. Moisturize afterwards with a tropical-scented oil or cream to protect new skin and complete your spa experience.
