Sugar and You Each week an average American consumes an alarming 2-3 pounds of sugar, and this intake goes up during the holiday season. As we enter fall, we also approach the sugar laden holidays of the year – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, it continues through Valentine’s Day and Easter. Interestingly enough, this time also coincides with cold & flu season. As the weather turns colder, our bodies have to work harder to maintain a healthy temperature and the added sugar intake increases the stress on our body.
First, I’d like to welcome all of our new subscribers to the Surat Naturopathic Newsletter – I hope you are able to make good use of the information found here.

The average women uses 12 personal care products a day, the average man uses 6. How many personal care products do you use and how toxic are they? This is the latest topic visited by Annie Leonard as she sheds light on our ignorance about our personal care products. “The Story of Cosmetics” is a short 8 minute video that opens our eyes to the toxins we are polluting our bodies with.
As the year comes to close and we enjoy the holiday festivities it becomes increasingly hard to keep our exercise routines up.
