Stop drinking diet sodas for weight loss

A study conducted by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio found that the more diet sodas (being promoted as having zero calories) a person drinks, the greater the chance that he or she will become overweight or obese. The chances are 65 percent and 41 percent respectively. This is based on a sample size of over 1,000 people.

This is because diet sodas contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose and chemical ingredients like phosphoric acid. These substances are foreign to our body. And so our body has to get rid of these harmful chemicals instead of doing what it is intended to do – burning fat.

To stay healthy, we need to take natural sources for weight loss.

For example, all natural Dijon mustard can have a profound effect on metabolism, even at rest, as well as improving overall digestion and nutrient utilization.

Apple cider vinegar aids in weight loss by detoxifying the liver, increasing metabolism and suppressing hunger levels while white and red wine vinegar have been shown to improve blood sugar levels, reduce insulin, and slow digestion.

Also, other natural herbs and spices such as ginger,garlic, lemon, cayenne, basil, parsley, and thyme have all been shown to have significant metabolism-boosting properties.
