Valtrex - Herpes Medication


I recently found out that more than 20% of all americans have genital herpes. Over 25% of Amercians have Herpes Simplix I, which often shows itself in the form of Oral Herpes. This is shocking to me and makes me wonder if it's always been this common throughout history or a result of the actions our generation. The debate rages on in my mind, but in the meantime, there is help for people suffering from Herpes. You can treat and even prevent Herpes with the herpes medication - Valtrex. Name Brand Valtrex actually costs a ton of money, but now there are many generic valtrex options.

If you suffer from Herpes, do some research on the best place to buy valtrex online. There are multiple online pharmacies that have established themselves as trustworthy and affordable. I hope you find a herpes medication that works for you!

High-Fructose Corn Syrup vs. Sugar continued


HFCS also affects the hunger hormone in your body known as leptin, which creates an increase in your appetite and causes people who eat foods with HFCS to overeat.

The bottom line is that your body processes both sugar and HFCS in the same way, and eating either can lead to obesity and diabetes. That means neither is healthier than the other. That's not to say you should ban all foods from your diet that contain sugar or HFCS, but try to eat less than 40 to 45 grams of added sugar a day. Read labels and look for the names sugar, HFCS, as well as anything with syrup or juice in the name, and anything that ends in -ose.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup vs. Sugar


You've probably seen those commercials boasting that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) isn't as bad for you as you think, since it's made from all-natural corn. It's misleading though because just like refined white sugar, HFCS is a highly processed sweetener. Both sugar and HFCS provide zero nutrition and loads of empty calories.

HFCS is more processed and it's cheaper than sugar so it's added to more foods. The campaign that's in favor of HFCS says it's OK to eat in moderation, but since it's found in so many foods, it's tough to avoid.

Stay tuned for more on the battle between sugar and high-fructose corn syrup.

Stay Healthy at Work


Green Thumb: Plants help keep office air clean (or remind you of cleaner air), plus, the colors of your favorite flowers can help spark creative juices.

It's all in the light: Overhead lighting create glare (it's also unflattering, which is bad for your self esteem!), so use desk lighting, or rely on natural sunlight whenever possible.

Skip "free" foods: Let's face it, nothing's free- that includes unhealthy meeting snacks or the bowl of M&Ms on the receptionist's desk. Instead, follow bring your own guilt free snacks, like nuts or berries.
