Beware of These 4 Summer Sippers



Lemonade. Bottled lemonades have around seven teaspoons of sugar depending on the brand. Sugar-free lemonade mixes don’t have that fresh lemony flavor and are filled with artificial sweeteners.
Instead: Control the ingredients by making your own batch. Use freshly squeezed lemons, water, and two teaspoons of sugar per serving.


Iced Tea. Tea contains a compound called oxalates which prevent your body from absorbing calcium. This doesn’t mean to avoid iced tea altogether, rather to limit yourself to no more than a cup or two per day. In addition, bottled iced tea and powdered mixes have boatloads of sugar, which will quickly put you over your daily limit for added sugar (six teaspoons max for women and nine teaspoons max for men).
Instead: Choose freshly brewed iced tea sans the sugar—it’s zero calories! To add flavor without many calories, use a touch of honey or agave, a splash of juice, or fresh mint.

Smoothies. Starbucks’ 16-ounce strawberry smoothies come in at 300 calories and 41 grams of sugar. This amount isn’t unusual for smoothies that are made with ice cream or reduced fat (2%) milk.

Instead: Opt for smoothies made with non-fat or low-fat yogurt or ice, and keep portions to 8 or 12 ounces.



Sports Drinks. Sports drinks are a combination of water, sugar, and electrolytes like potassium and sodium and have about 50 calories and three teaspoons of sugar per cup. They aren’t meant as a lazy summer afternoon beverage as they contain a nice amount of sugar and usually are gulped down in greater than one cup servings.

Instead: Sports drinks are specially designed for athletes to help replenish fluids, electrolytes, and carbs to fuel muscles. If you’re not exercising, then just go for good old water.

Help For The Natalie Hill Fund

by Claire Burgo on Friday, June 1, 2012 at 8:52pm ·
Dear Family and Friends,

By now you are all aware of my health conditions and the struggles that I have faced in the past 5 months. While my struggles are hard, I couldn't have made it this far without the support and prayers from each and every one of you. You have given me more than I could ask for and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Amongst my journies, I have ran into an amazing young woman named Natalie HIll who gives the definition of strength a new meaning. She's 21 years old and last Halloween was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis as well as Stage 4 Acute Kidney Failure. Lupus Nephritis is a autoimmune diesease that is a direct attack on the kidneys. Today, she found out her condition has gotten worse, her Kidneys are only functioning at 35%-45% compared to 100%. This disease can also cause severe problems to the skin, joints, and the nervous system. Not to mention unfathomable pain to the human body. While Natalie faces these struggles on a daily basis, she holds her head high in hopes that doctors will be able to save her life.
While I have had my many downs through my own processes, recently Natalie has become a great friend to me. She has listened to my complaints, my symptoms and my fears. She has done nothing but give positive feedback to ensure I'm not alone in the world. Never once has she complained about herself. How admirable! While I can't do much, this is a small gesture to say thank you for her kind actions.
As we all know, medical bills are expensive. Recently, Natalie has been informed that she will not be able to work due to her conditions. She is in the long process of appealing for medical insurance and disability. Currently her insurance does not cover the proper care she needs such as her Lupus and Kidney doctors. She has set up a Fund Raiser to raise $5000 to help cover her medical needs. If you could donate even $1 it would go to an amazing cause and help save the life of an amazing individual! Please keep Natalie in your prayers, she is one strong cookie. I know with positive spirits and prayers she will get through this!

Below is the link to her fundraiser. Thank you in advance to all those who can support!

Thank You All!

Love,
Claire
