JUICE IT UP

In the health battle between juices and fizzy drinks, juices win hands down. Experts tells you why...

When you return home after a tiring day at work and reach out for a drink in your refrigerator, chances are that you may spend a minute trying to decide between those attractive fizzy drinks lined up and the fruit juices.

If you have chosen the juice, well, there’s reason to rejoice. But, if you have chosen the latter, here’s evidence of why you have made the wrong decision.

According to a recent study, cutting down on soft drinks reduces the risk of a stroke by eight per cent and coronary heart disease by almost five per cent. “Our findings suggest that reducing sugar sweetened beverages and sugar consumption may be an important dietary strategy to lower blood pressure and further reduce other blood pressure related diseases,” reveals Liwei Chen, the lead author of the study. On the other hand, fruit juices are a smart addition to any well-balanced diet, providing vitamins and minerals. Fresh fruit juice is also a convenient way for adults and children to help reach the recommended number of daily servings of fruits and vegetables. Just one glass of fresh fruit juice provides a full serving of fruit. You just need to know which juice to choose to treat your specific health problem. When it comes to juices versus fizzy drinks, juices win the health battle hands down. Not only do they beat fizzy drinks in the refreshment quotient, but they also have several health benefits that fizzy drinks can never match up to. What’s more, each juice has its own advantages.

Or do you sometimes just forget to do something important, so that people have to chase you to get work done?   All of these are symptoms of not keeping a proper "To-Do List". To-Do Lists are prioritized lists of all the tasks that you need to carry out. They list everything that you have to do, with the most important tasks at the top of the list, and the least important tasks at the bottom.    While this sounds a simple thing to do, it's when people start to use To-Do Lists properly that they often make their first personal productivity / time management breakthrough, and start to make a real success of their careers.   By keeping a To-Do List, you make sure that you capture all of the tasks you have to complete in one place.
