Did you know there are 6 different ways to enjoy Diet Coke with added nutritional benefits? Diet Coke is building up its brand to include essential vitamins and minerals for the health-conscious Diet Coke lovers. Allow me to introduce you to Diet Coke Plus!
Diet Coke Plus offers automatic health benefits with the great taste Diet Coke drinkers have come to expect. Each serving provides 15% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of niacin, and vitamins B6 and B12 and 10% of the RDI for zinc and magnesium. After a little investigating - the vitamins and minerals in Diet Coke Plus might truly payoff. Low magnesium is tied to increased diabetes risk and zinc plays a key role in glucose metabolism. Vitamins B6 and B12 assist in protecting the body from nerve damage from diabetes. In fact, vitamins B6 and B12 showed a positive influence on vibration perception and nerve conduction speed (NCV) in people with diabetic neuropathy.
Coca Cola realized that Diet Coke drinkers are increasingly looking for more beverage options. Coke decided to remove the guilt from the pleasure. With benefits including: increased glucose metabolism, reduction of diabetes risk, and enhanced nerve perception -- move over Verizon. Diet Coke Plus is asking - can you feel me now??

All soda is evil (the diet ones too)
Having a soda habit isn't healthy, most people know that. But what may surprise you is that all soda is bad for you, diet types included. Recent research shows that as little as 1 soda per day (diet or regular) greatly increases a person's risk for developing metabolic syndrome, which is a precursor for both heart disease and diabetes.The diet soda industry is all up in arms over this news, saying there's no evidence or proof that it's the diet soda that's to blame based on how the study was done. And they're right -- there isn't. But something here is fishy, and considering there's such a significant connection it seems better to cut back on the soda habit and be safe, rather than ignore the connection completely and be sorry.
Drinking diet soda can still kill you
Filed under: Diet
When someone's trying to lose weight, one of the first steps they usually take is switching from full-sugar soda to the diet kind. But that might not be enough, one study shows -- cutting out all soda is the healthiest choice.According to findings from extensive research done in the US, drinking even one diet soda a day can greatly increase your chances of developing metabolic syndrome, which can lead to a heart attack and diabetes. What's more, compared to those who drank less than one soda a day, those who drank one or more were at a 30% greater risk becoming obese and had a 25% greater chance of developing high cholesterol. Yikes!
The healthiest soda is no soda -- drink water instead!
The South Beach Diet is not just about getting thin
Filed under: Diet, Nutrition, Books
A few years ago I gave the South Beach Diet a trial run. I bought and read the book, went shopping for the ingredients and started preparing the meals. Unfortunately, my attempt was short lived because I felt the recipes were rather complicated and with a newborn child on my hip, I just couldn't commit to the plan. However, after reading a post by Brian White on our sister site, That's Fit, I am thinking about revisiting the South Beach Diet.Dr. Agatston's new book, The South Beach Heart Program: The 4-Step Plan That Can Save Your Life, goes beyond recipes and meal plans. This book takes a comprehensive look at cultivating and maintaining a life-long heart healthy lifestyle. The intent of the book is to teach readers that healthy living is for all people of all ages and all lifestyles.
This approach to healthy living sounds much more palatable than simply following a meal plan. Although I have not yet read the book, I am planning on giving it a read, and I'll let you know how it goes.
