What negative health effects does drinking diet soda have on your body?
Q. I drink a lot of Diet Pepsi every day. At least 3 - 4 cans. I know it may be linked to cancer, but I was wondering if it could be preventing me from loosing weight, or deteriorating muscle tone, etc.
I can't seem to loose any weight although I eat healthy and excercise a few times a week. I'm 5'8 and weigh 130.

A. UMmmmm First of all ...
if your 5ft.8 inches and 130 LBS.....
YOUR NOT OVERWEIGHT!!!
Second, "if your eating "healthy food why not DRINK Healthy Drinks?
>Like 100% Orange Juice or Apple Juice...among others
>MILK - It does a body Good :)
>WATER - Pure Clear Clean Refreshing Water
>TEA - Hot Tea or Iced Tea - Green tea is Great for you.Plus there is an endless variety of Tea Flavors to choose from.
Just becasue your not overweight doesn't mean you don't shouldn't eat /drink Healthy Foods.
If you want to Tone up...EXERCISE - just being slim or at a "normal" weight doesn't mean you will automatically be physically fit.
You have to tone what you have, make it into Muscle ( not "bulky muscle") slim, lean clean lines that ARE TONED.
*Just be aware that Ironically as you turn FAT into Muscle you will probably "Weigh" more...but look slimmer.
Why?
Because Muscle weighs More than Fat.
It isn't the number on the scale that matters , it's the amount of lean muscle mass that you have and how it "looks" that is way you feel "fat" at 5,8 and 130 lbs...cause it's jiggly!
Work out with some weights a bit run, walk, do crunchs...ride your bike...get off your skinny little flabby butt and
QUIT drinking "Diet" anything.
You will need the extra calories if your really working out
Good Luck!

Diet Coke/Pepsi -
Get ready to ditch your soda habit. Iâm kicking Diet Coke â it takes time, and Iâm down to five a week from a high of 12, but itâs worth it.
Hereâs why: Recent research has shown that artificial sweeteners in soda may interfere with your bodyâs ability to estimate how many calories youâve ingested, so you eat more than you need.
In a new rat study, animals that ate fake sugar consumed more calories overall and gained weight, compared to those that didnât eat artificially sweetened treats.
This is just one study, but itâs enough to make me want to kick the can habit. Need more convincing? For every diet soda you sip daily, your risk of becoming overweight can rise by 37 percent, according to researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio.
We also know that regular soda is a total sugar bomb â most people I know gave it up long ago. At roughly 225 calories a pop, a 20-ounce bottle of regular soda packs nearly as many calories as a chocolate bar (but is much less satisfying).
Typically, soda also contains zero nutrients â so who needs it? Still have some soda around? Fine, stow it for guests who havenât decided to quit. Next time you want a fizz hit, try seltzer with lime (or for a caffeine fix, green tea). What are your favorite low-cal soda substitutes?
There are two opinions:
Arguments about an aspartame-cancer connection have flared for years. Recently, Italian researchers concluded that aspartame does increase certain cancers in rats, including breast cancer. But the scientific truism applies: Rats aren't people. And more than 200 studies, including one on humans in 2006 by the National Cancer Institute, have found no evidence of this. Still, suspicious groups remain, including the Center for Science in the Public Interest, an ardent consumer advocacy group. What to do? Drink responsibly--and we don't mean downing the FDA's "acceptable" max of 21 cans of aspartame-sweetened soda a day for a 165-pound adult. Inside all the research there's an informal consensus that, for adults, a can a day is likely to do no harm.

How can black hair grow faster and longer?
Q. I'm black I tried different things to grow longer and now I have my hair perm what should I do.
A. I agree with Momo, the best way to grow it is to grow natural. I've have natural have for 7 years now and it the best and healthiest thing I've done. My hair (which straighten is down to my lower chest) would have never been this long with a perm/relaxer.
But even if you don't want to do that, have are some few things to do..
First and foremost... you have to start from the inside out. You have to eat and drink healthy. Getting the right vitamins in your body and drinking plenty of water helps promote great skin, hair and nails.
Second moisturize you hair with products such as deep conditioners, leave in treatments, grease, etc. etc.! This is very important that esp. since you have a relaxer in your hair. The stuff they put in relaxers/perms strips the natural oils in your hair making them dry and brittle. This leaves to more damage.
Last, trims. You need to have those ends clips roughly every 6 weeks esp. if your hair is very damaged. By letting it just "grow out" without cutting it when needed will slow down your hair growth.
Little things to do that help:
Sleeping with a satin scarf at night
Getting a relaxer/perm every 2-3 months
Taking hair growth pills
Massage(not scratching) your scalp every night for 30 minutes clockwise and counter-clockwise ( For some reason people only do this when they are washing their hair)
Not playing in your hair all the time
Wear less ponytails
Don't put rubberbands in your hair
Hope that helps

A. Some women don't gain any weight during pregnancy, and some actually are lighter after giving birth than they were before they became pregnant.
Make sure you have a good support system, are in a stable relationship, eat/drink healthy things, are healthy before getting pregnant, and excersize regularly. Those things will help you a lot for when you want to get pregnant and after you become pregnant if you continue doing those things.
Note: Smaller women tend to gain more weight while pregnant than heavier ones.
