Coca-Cola Want People To Ditch The Diet And Keep Drinking Coke - http://clapway.com/2015/08/10/coca-cola-want-people-to-ditch-the-diet-and-keep-drinking-coke123/

According to reports recently released by The New York Times, Coca-Cola has been funding a non-profit group to encourage Americans to pay more attention to their exercise regime and less towards their diet.

It is well known that obesity has become an extremely worrying health concern in the United States and many western countries over the past years. This is something that has been discussed numerous times in the media and as a result, consumers have become more health conscious and aware of the dangers of fast food.

However, even though many studies have shown the negative outcomes as a result of consuming fizzy drinks such as Coca-Cola, health experts hired by the company have been researching the benefits of the product and have recently released new information promoting the positive aspects of the drink.

Coke Less Dangerous than Believed?

In accordance with The New York Times, Coca-Cola have been spreading the message that the popular fizzy drink is not as dangerous as previously believed. This has been further promoted by scientists hired by the company through social media, at conferences and in medical journals.

Records show that $1.5 million was donated last year by Coca-Cola to begin an organization – the Global Energy Balance Network. However, health experts are skeptical towards the companies motives behind this campaign, especially as soda sales are currently in a decline.

Americans Consume Less Sugary Drinks

It seems that over the last two decades, the average American has reduced his consumption of full-calorie sodas quite considerably, drinking 25 percent less.

Therefore, the fact that Coca-Cola have recently hired a new group of scientists to convince people that exercise can make up for an unhealthy diet has caused a lot of suspicion towards Global Energy Balance Network.

Is the Coca-Cola Company Trying to Manipulate People?

Of course, this is not the first attempt the company has made to try and associate their product with a healthy lifestyle. According to reports, at the beginning of the year, nutrition, as well as fitness experts stated that a mini-can of Coca-Cola was believed to be a ‘healthy treat’.

While a can of Coca-Cola once in a while will do you no harm, it is definitely worth taking into consideration all aspects of a healthy lifestyle and what is right for your body on a daily basis, rather than simply going by reports from international companies.

Is Bodybuilding Supplement the New Eating Disorder - http://clapway.com/2015/08/09/is-bodybuilding-supplement-101/

A Brief History of Body Building

One might think that bodybuilding is a fairly recent phenomenon that began in the twentieth century or so but it actually is not. Building up your body hails back to the Ancient Greek times when athletes first trained to compete in the Olympics before the old gods.

However, bodybuilding as we know it today, would become a slow building trend as we approached the twentieth century. Even in the early days of the Victorian era, body building was a show of sport and entertainment.

Today; The Bodybuilding Problem

Of course, today it is an entertaining means of exercise, but it’s also taken seriously in some circles. Perhaps one’s first associated bodybuilder is the renown actor, ex-bodybuilder and former California governor; Arnold Schwarzenegger.

However, regardless of whether or not the Austrian-born actor is your ideal image of bodybuilding is irrelevant at the moment. The issue of the day is if bodybuilding supplements are an emergent new eating disorder.

The issue came up at the American Psychological Association (APA) Convention in Toronto, and lasts from the 6th until today. There the study presented to the audience members and researchers, which was released later in a press release by the APA.

Mounting Concern about Bodybuilding Supplements

In the APA press release, the issue of growing concern regards whether body building supplements may start replacing actual meals in order to bulk up. This concern about the body building supplements gathered around 200 study participants in order to see how pressing this issue is.

A brief abstract on the study can be found here. From information gathered in the study, researchers found that the forty percent of participants noted that their use of body building supplements increased over time while another twenty-two percent said they ended up replacing meals with body building supplements.

It was also noted that some of them had been advised by doctors to cut back on the use of bodybuilding supplements because of serious health issues. So, what the study has found is that bodybuilding supplements emerging as a new eating disorder is not caused by any one misconception of psychological transference or repression; but is in fact due to a variety of disparate factors which must be researched by their respective sciences.
