Could you be addicted to sugar? A recent article that includes a Q&A with Dr. Naomi Stotland (who leads an obesity research group) suggests that factors like stress can cause people to choose sugary, high-fat foods. For some people, savory food like french fries or pizza is their weakness, but for most women in particular, its sugar. Stotland says that women are driven to eat sweet food because it makes them feel good, stimulating the part of the brain that feels pleasure.
Stotland even goes so far as to say that people can become addicted to sugar, just like cigarettes, drugs and alcohol. Certain people experience high-fat, sweet foods, as a mind-altering substance that affects how they feel.
Her word of advice to combat sweet cravings? Avoid having foods and drinks at home and work that you will be tempted with. You can also switch out full-sugar versions of certain products with sugar-free versions.

The Flavorful Life is featuring several “healthy living journey” stories from Cascade Ice fans around the country, where guest bloggers tell us their thoughts on how they face challenges and come up with new ideas to pursue better health and fitness lifestyles. The following is a post from Dawn Sievers of Knoxville, TN, and blogger for “The Healing Morning”
Most people who know me are aware that I’m not a fan of making New Year’s resolutions. I’ve written more than one blog post on that topic over the years. My preference is to focus on keeping things at a sane, realistic level throughout the year. That way, I don’t have this huge, onerous task of “have to” resolutions looming large over my fair head each January.
In the past six months, I made the decision to adopt a specific weight loss routine. By incorporating this protocol into my life, I threw out a whole kitchen full of bad-for-me products.
What I found I missed was the occasional fizzy drink. We all know how toxic diet soda is, and I see no logic about drinking regular soda that’s crammed full of white sugar. So, what to do? To my delight, I recently stumbled across Cascade Ice 2-calorie water. Delicious flavors and fizzy water that doesn’t cause a single blip on the digital scale! You can’t beat that for complementing a new approach to good health.
What’s next? I think yoga and toning are my next two things to conquer. I’ll keep you posted as I investigate various DVDs. Finding the firmness, perhaps?! I’m on a mission! 🙂

The skin is our largest organ, so it’s no wonder there are millions of products on the market that claim to help your skin appear more radiant, youthful and healthy. But did you know that the most important step in your skincare routine is making sure you’re adequately hydrated?
Drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day keeps the body flushed of impurities and keeps the skins’ moisture level even. Don’t like the taste of tap water? Sparkling flavored waters like Cascade Ice are a good alternative because they’re only 2 calories and taste great! Unhealthy extras like sugar, sodium and caffeine can zap your skin of its healthy glow.
