Hard Facts About Soft Drinks

For many people, there is nothing more refreshing than a cold bottle or can of their favorite soft drink. The cool, sparkling taste of soft drinks is enjoyed around the world. In the United States for example, soft drinks have emerged as America’s favorite beverages—they have become more popular than coffee, tea, and juice combined.

In fact…compared to just 25 years ago, Americans are now drinking…twice as much soft drinks,…an average of 56 gallons (or, 212 liters) a year! That’s nearly 2 cans a day for every man, woman, and child. Amazing as it may sound, the average American consumes more soft drinks than water! (But America is not alone, across the globe, people everywhere are drinking more soft drinks than ever before.)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF THESE DRINKS HAVE ANY IMPACT ON YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING?

When most people open the pull tab on their favorite can of cola, it doesn’t come to mind that they are about to take a long drink of an…artificially colored, chemically flavored mixture of carbonated water, phosphoric acid, sweeteners, preservatives, and caffeine.

Research suggests that these soft drinks present personal health risks, both because of what they contain and what they replace in the diet. Let’s begin by taking a look at the sugar these drinks contain.

Carbonated drinks are the single largest source of refined sugars in the American diet…more than 1/3 of the total sugar consumption.

With your average soft drink containing 8-12 teaspoons of sugar, there are many potential health hazards. Here are just a few of them.

# 1. A WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM

Sugary soft drinks are one reason for frequent colds, flu, and infections.

Scientific evidence has shown that sugar hinders our body’s ability to fight off bacteria and keep us well. Just one soft drink, containing 12 tsp. of sugar is enough to weaken the protective ability of our body’s white blood cells…by 60%, for 5 hours.

When you consider how often throughout the day some people consume soft drinks and other sugary foods, it becomes obvious that their white blood cells are not functioning very effectively for many hours of each day.

# 2. UNBALANCED NUTRITION

Although most soft drinks contain LOTS of calories from sugar, they have NO nutritional value. Drinking 2 or 3 soft drinks can considerably reduce the amount of good, nutritious food a person eats each day. This significantly decreases their nutrition.

Research shows that heavy soft-drink consumption is linked with low intake of essential B vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, copper, and chromium as well as a high intake of calories, fat, and sugars.

WHAT’S THE RESULT?

Malnutrition is the main concern that many health experts have with the rising soft drink consumption.

One U.S. government study found that only 2% of children and teenagers, ages 2- to 19, met all of the federal recommendations for a healthy diet.

Did you know that one out of five one and two-year-old children already consume soft drinks? These soda drinking toddlers average nearly one cup per day, which considering their body size is quite significant.

# 3. WHAT ABOUT EXTRA CALORIES?

Lots of soft drinks, means lots of sugar, which also means lots of calories.

Along with increased soft drink consumption has come an increase in obesity. With a typical soft drink containing 150 calories, the average American, within just one year will take in…over 64,000 calories of sugar from soft drinks alone! Now….it takes 3,500 calories to make one pound of fat.

Assuming you’re already eating enough to maintain your weight, and in addition…you drink 2 cans (24 ounces) of soft drinks daily, how many days would it take to “drink on” an extra pound? Drinking the average 2 cans a day; it would take…just under 12 days to hang an extra pound of fat. At this rate you could gain 30 pounds a year from soft drinks alone! It’s no wonder diet drinks have become so popular! But are they really a good solution?

Most diet soft drinks are sweetened artificially and contain less than one-calorie per 12 ounces.

Do these low calorie soft drinks really work to help us stay fit and trim? Current research says “no.”

One study of over 75,000 women found that those who used artificial sweeteners were significantly more likely than nonusers to gain weight over time.

Another study found that diet soda drinkers ate more food and gained more weight than when they were free to drink regular sugar-sweetened soft drinks. The researchers concluded that these artificial sweeteners increased both hunger and appetite. And soft drinks are associated with still more health concerns.

Nearly all soft drinks contain chemical additives for color, flavor, and preservation. During 1996, it is estimated that worldwide, people were “drinking” twenty million-six hundred thousand tons of chemicals, from soft drinks alone! That’s nearly 9 pounds (or, 4 kilograms) for every man, woman, and child. Several of these soft drink additives are raising significant health concerns.

Among them is caffeine. Relatively few people realize the degree with which caffeine can impact their personal health.

Even if a soft drink is caffeine free, most contain phosphoric acid, or phosphorus. Phosphorous combines…with calcium, depleting the body of this essential mineral…by eliminating it through the kidneys.

With today’s concerns about osteoporosis and brittle bones, the fact that each of these soft drinks takes some calcium from the bones could be a greater risk than you want to take.

When I think of soft drinks and all of their unpleasant aftereffects, I am reminded of the words of scripture...

Isaiah 55:2,1 –  “Why do you spend money…for what does not satisfy? …Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters…”

Friends, God has provided us with something better. PURE WATER IS THE PERFECT BEVERAGE. It quenches thirst, contains no calories to add unwanted fat, and no caffeine. It’s readily available, and it’s cheap! For the best of health, be good to yourself and start enjoying nature’s super fluid—water—today!

Tobacco & Alcohol

“Tobacco using is a habit which frequently affects the nervous system in a more powerful manner than does the use of alcohol; the habit is more difficult to overcome. Body and mind are, in many cases, more thoroughly intoxicated with the use of tobacco than with spirituous liquors, for it is a more subtle poison.”  {3T 562.1}

ITEMS THAT WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A DESIRE FOR TOBACCO/NICOTINE

1: TEA & COFFEE – “By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco...” (3T 563.3)

2: CONDIMENTS, RICH FOOD, SPICY FOOD – “At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks...acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him,..The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that cravings...”--Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: IN MANY CASES, FLESH ITEMS – “Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco...” {3T 488.3}

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR:

1: STOP SMOKING URGE REMEDY:

Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after and keep a cold rag on the head at all times. You may need a bowl of ice water on the side to dip the head rag in when it gets hot. Rinse off in cool water. Do not friction dry your body. Pat dry, then lay down for about 30 minutes if possible.

Diabetics and those with heart disease are blocked or hardened arteries should not do the Steam Bath.

           OR

A COLD SHEET WRAP (this is good for those who can't do the steam bath)

ALCOHOL INFORMATION:

“Two thirds (66.6%) of the drunkards in our land created an appetite for liquor by the use of tobacco.”

--Signs of the Times, Oct. 27, 1887.  {Te 72.3}

“Many mothers who deplore the intemperance which exists everywhere do not look deep enough to see the cause. They are daily preparing a variety of dishes and highly seasoned food which tempt the appetite and encourage overeating. The tables of our American people are generally prepared in a manner to make drunkards...”  (3T 563.1)

ITEMS WE USE, EAT, OR DRINK THAT FOSTER A TASTE FOR ALCOHOL:

1: TEA, COFFEE, AND TOBACCO:

“By the use of tea and coffee an appetite is formed for tobacco, and this encourages the appetite for liquors.” (3T 563.3)

“...It is only a step from tobacco using to liquor drinking; in fact, the two vices usually go together.”  {Te 71.2}

“This appetite for tobacco is self-destructive. It leads to a craving for something stronger,--fermented wines and liquors...”  -Letter 102a, 1897.  {Te 58.1}

2: RICH, HIGHLY SEASONED FOOD:

“Those who accustom themselves to a rich, stimulating diet, find after a time that the stomach is not satisfied with simple food. It demands that which is more and more highly seasoned, pungent, and stimulating. As the nerves become disordered and the system weakened, the will seems powerless to resist the unnatural craving. The delicate coating of the stomach becomes irritated and inflamed until the most stimulating food fails of giving relief. A thirst is created that nothing but strong drink will quench.  {Ed 203.2}

At the table, loaded with injurious condiments, rich food, and spiced knickknacks, the child acquires a taste for that which is hurtful to him, which tends to irritate the tender coats of the stomach, inflame the blood, and strengthen the animal passions. The appetite soon craves something stronger, and tobacco is used to gratify that craving. This indulgence only increasing the unnatural longing for stimulants, liquor drinking is soon resorted to, and drunkenness follows...” --Review and Herald, Sept. 6, 1877.  {Te 182.4}

3: FLESH FOOD ITEMS:

“Many parents educate the tastes of their children and form their appetites. They indulge them in eating flesh meats and in drinking tea and coffee. The highly seasoned flesh meats and the tea and coffee, which some mothers encourage their children to use, prepare the way for them to crave stronger stimulants, as tobacco. The use of tobacco encourages the appetite for liquor, and the use of tobacco and liquor invariably lessens nerve power.” {3T 488.3}

Massage

James White presiding at least in the beginning over the committee. For he recovered, with strenuous labor on the part of his wife, who gave him daily water treatments and massage, took him with her on ministering trips to churches, schoolhouses, and barn meetings, and finally on a purchased farm at Greenville, forty miles away, returned him to the active life of farmer as well as preacher.” {1947 AWS, FOPI 196.1}

“In August, 1896, a small Health Home was opened in Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney. This home consisted of a cottage of seven rooms. The equipment was modest,--a bath-tub, shower, fomentation cloths, gas ring, and MASSAGE TABLE. With these we did much effective work. At this time I became acquainted with a physician who was much interested in rational methods of treatment, and who did much to further our work.” {June 2, 1909 WASe, GCB 284.10}

“The sanitariums themselves were conducted as medical missionary institutions, whose purpose it was to make use of hydrotherapy and massage and diet as the chief methods of therapeutics, and in addition carry forward a strong educational work through parlor lectures, literature, and personal bedside and office ministry...” {1947 LHC, FSG 306.1}

“Recognizing the need and the value of having a treatment equipment where the simple methods ministered in our sanitariums could be given, there was opened in the city of Kingston in August, 1912, what is now known as the “Massage and Hydropathic Treatment-Rooms.”  {June 8, 1913 WASe, GCB 314.15}

“I was lying upon the lounge, my head aching badly. Ella May said, “Shall I rub your head, Grandma? I used to rub Mama's head, and she said it made her feel better and I will rub your head.” She wet her hands in cold water and put them on my hot aching head, and it was a relief, but it amused me to have her ask like an old practitioner, “Will you like the bare stroking or the vibrating motion or trembling motion?” I said, “My, where did you learn these movements?” She said that is the way she was treated once when she was sick.”  {9MR 44.2}

“Then Mabel saw what Ella May was about and she wanted a hand in it. So, she must run to the pump and wet her little hands, and not being so well-versed as Ella, just where the application was essential, she stroked her little hands over my nose and eyes and cheeks, and then with due solemnity would look up in my face—”Is your headache better, Grandma?” I could truly answer, “Yes, it is, my darling,” for the influence of the water cooled my head and the stroking of the little hands had a soothing influence.” {9MR 44.3}

“The sanitariums themselves were conducted as medical missionary institutions, whose purpose it was to make use of hydrotherapy and MASSAGE and diet as the chief methods of therapeutics, and in addition carry forward a strong educational work through parlor lectures, literature, and personal bedside and office ministry. No treatments were prescribed by outside worldly physicians. The sanitariums stood forth, and were recognized as entirely distinctive from worldly institutions, where the chief therapy employed was drug therapy. Instead of the popular psychotherapy employed by worldly physicians, stress was laid upon Bible methods of mental healing. Physicians with a spiritual knowledge of their patients' needs were able to carry forward Christ's methods....”  {1947 LHC, FSG 306.1}

“The movement cure [massage] is a great advantage to a class of patients who are too feeble to exercise. But for all who are sick to rely upon it, making it their dependence, while they neglect to exercise their muscles themselves, is a great mistake.” --3T 76 (1872).  {1MCP 120.1}

“I was instructed that there is great danger of overdoing the lift cure, the, and the MASSAGE testing to see who can excel in expanding their lungs to the utmost capacity. Great caution is needed in this expanding of the lungs, for often injury is done which is never known, but the result is all the same. They lose vital power, and weaken the lungs beyond remedy. Other causes are assigned for the feebleness of the vital organs, but in this testing of the lungs there has come to be a strife for supremacy, as a physician guards his point.”  {3MR 366.1}

“Some matters have been deeply impressed upon my mind, and one is the necessity for much better facilities in the bathrooms. This is where impressions will be made upon minds. We must have conveniences in these rooms--massage tables, and a cot on which to give packs. All these things make their impression…” {PC 15.5}

“For many, such labor is a more effective and profitable “movement cure” than the best inventions of the physicians.”  {CTBH 97.2}

“Walking, in all cases where it is possible, is the best remedy for diseased bodies, because in this exercise all the organs of the body are brought into use. Many who depend upon the MOVEMENT CURE could accomplish more for themselves by muscular exercise than the movements can do for them…” {CH 200.2}

“The work of Christ in cleansing the leper from his terrible disease is an illustration of His work in cleansing the soul from sin. The man who came to Jesus was “full of leprosy.” Its deadly poison permeated his whole body. The disciples sought to prevent their Master from touching him; for he who touched a leper became himself unclean. But in laying His hand upon the leper, Jesus received no defilement. His touch imparted life-giving power. The leprosy was cleansed...”  DA 266.1}

***In many instances, a touch of someone can be very healing.  Today, we are going to talk about massage, specifically chair massage and how it is very beneficial in the healing process.  If you can't find it in the Bible, it's not God's method of healing.

SOME RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN DOING MASSAGE:

1. NEVER massage anyone when you yourself are under stress because massage is a relaxation therapy and the stress you are feeling can be passed onto the person you are going to massage.

BEFORE GETTING STARTED:
1. STRETCH YOUR HANDS by fanning them outward and inward.  Do this 3 times.

2. ROTATE YOUR THUMB. This is because sometimes we do strenuous activities and we get what's called knots.  We need the thumbs to help get those knots out.

3. PRACTICE COORDINATION WITH THE PALM slapping the fist on the right hand into the palm of the left hand and vice versa.

4. MASSAGE your fingers starting with the thumb on the right hand going to the pinky finger, then switch to the left hand doing the same thing.

5.  SHAKE YOUR HANDS

***NEVER MASSAGE ANYONE WHILE YOUR HANDS ARE COLD
 
SOME QUOTES TO PONDER:
“Natural means, used in accordance with God's will, bring about supernatural results. We ask for a miracle, and the Lord directs the mind to some simple remedy.” (2SM 346)

“We should neglect nothing that would serve to benefit a human being.”  (MH 48)

“The movement cure is a great advantage to a class of patients too feeble to exercise.”  (3T 76)

“Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them.” (MH 127)

“The use of natural remedies require an amount of care and effort that many are not willing to give.” (MH 127)

THE MASSAGE THEORY BY: UCHEE PINES: http://www.ucheepines.org/index.php?p=counseling.massage_theory

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:
Magnesium = Nature's #1 Muscle Relaxant
***If a person is having muscle problems, twitching, etc., chances are they are low in Magnesium. 

HAVE THEM INCLUDE LOTS OF FOODS THAT ARE HIGH IN MAGNESIUM….WHICH ARE:

• Almonds    
• Artichokes  
• Bran 
• Buckwheat   
• Cashews
• Cilantro    
• Dates   
• Hazelnuts   
• Kale   
• Kiwi    
• Molasses  
• Potatoes
• Pumpkin Seeds     
• Sesame Seeds    
• Spinach
• Squash Seeds      
• Tofu  
• Wheat Germ    
• White Beans
• Whole Wheat Flour   

ALSO, A BATH IS AN EXCELLENT TONIC FOR SORE MUSCLES:
Take a bath in warm water.
SOME VERY GOOD SALVES FOR PULLED/SPRAINED OR STRAINED MUSCLES:

-Deep Tissue Heating Salve - 
http://www.lifetreewellness.com/poultices-salves-and-oils.html
-Deep Tissue Oil - https://www.herbdoc.com/index.php/Our_Products/External (This salve is great for pulled muscles, torn ligaments, broken areas, etc.)

• Grapeseed Oil
• Coconut Oil

***Olive Oil tends to dry out too fast and can cause a dry rub.

MASSAGE CHAIRS MAY BE PURCHASED from many places - just google it:

BE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL THE LAWS OF HEALTH TO HAVE GOOD MUSCLES...BE SURE TO SQUAT, SIT, AND STAND PROPERLY.

“Among the first things to be aimed at should be a correct position, both in sitting and in standing. God made man upright, and He desires him to possess not only the physical but the mental and moral benefit, the grace and dignity and self-possession, the courage and self-reliance, which an erect bearing so greatly tends to promote. Let the teacher give instruction on this point by example and by precept. Show what a correct position is, and insist that it shall be maintained.”  {CG 364.3}

Many times people go to a massage therapist or a chiropractor when all they really need to do is increase their magnesium, drink plenty of water, and make sure their Vitamin D levels are what they should be.

QUOTES REGARDING MUSCLES:

• Bathing makes for flexible (MH 276)
• Do not give up the use of certain muscles because pain is felt when they are exercised (3T 78)
• Eat enough food to give strength to the muscles (MM 284)

• God designed the muscles to be used (4T 411)
• Healthful foods needed for the muscles (CD 409)
• Inaction Causes muscles to decrease in size and strength (3T 76)
• It's an Erroneous idea to think that flesh food is needed for muscles (MH 316)
• Lack of Exercise causes elasticity of muscles (FE 426)
• Lack of Exercise causes soft muscles (FE 426)
• Make the best use of the muscles (SD 171)
• Moderate Exercise EVERY DAY strengthens the muscles (2T 533)

“We take movements a portion of each day, that we may regain and enjoy health. In order to strengthen the arms and chest, we have taken excellent movements in scrubbing woodwork, sweeping floors, washing dishes, and washing clothing upon the old-fashioned rubbing board, which we would recommend as a far better instrument to strengthen the arms and chest than the backbreaking washing machines.”  {HR, August 1, 1873 par. 13}

“We take movements to strengthen the ankles and muscles of the limbs in climbing the mountains, prospecting, and gathering flowers. And frequently we descend with our arms loaded with broken wood, which is scattered plentifully upon the mountains. We are becoming strong by healthful exercise. We enjoy physical exercise after close application to writing several hours each day. We sometimes become weary, but we rest and sleep well through the night, and in the morning feel fresh and ready for our day's duty. I have learned by experience that if we would have health, we must take a proper amount of active exercise. If we get into a perspiration, this will not injure us, if we are careful not to expose ourselves to a current of air.”  {HR, August 1, 1873 par. 14}

“Proper exercise, daily, strengthens the muscles, aids digestion, and induces sleep. This, with taking full inspirations of good air, combined with plain, nourishing diet, free from grease and spices, avoiding pastry and unhealthy condiments, will do much to restore health to the invalid. Those who would enjoy the blessings of health and strength must have a proper amount of exercise daily. We should never be ashamed of labor. God has shown us that employment is ennobling, in that he gave the sinless representatives of the race something to do. They were to labor, to dress and keep the garden.”  {HR, August 1, 1873 par. 15}
