  • Skechers lawsuit

    Brooke Burke SkechersSkechers, USA, Inc., (NYSE: SKX) has agreed to pay $45 million dollars and an additional $5 million dollars in class action attorney fees to settle all domestic legal proceedings related to advertising claims about its toning shoe products, including its Shape-ups® line.  Skechers has been the target of a multitude of legal actions brought by the United States Fair Trade Commission, individual State Attorney General offices and consumer class action law suits.  These suits are all investigating whether Skechers made unsupported advertising claims in connection with marketing the toning shoes. The $45 million dollar settlement prohibits the shoe giant from making unsubstantiated claims but it doesn't prevent them from continuing to produce the shoes that they claim will "tone you up" without exercising.

  • Wheatgrass health benefits

    wheatgrass juiceWheatgrass is the youngest grass of the wheat plant but don't let its age fool you. The health benefits that it provides may surprise you and I'm sure you'll find at least one that you can use.

    Wheatgrass is harvested early when its vitamins and nutrients pack the biggest punch. Wheatgrass is highly fibrous and therefore, too difficult for the human stomach to digest. For that reason, the most popular way to consume wheatgrass is through juicing. It's often called "Liquid Sunshine" because of the high concentration of cholorphyll, that harvests the sun's energy. I'm sure you're used to hearing the term "chlorophyll" in terms of house plants but with a 70% concentration, wheatgrass is truly a superfood for humans, too.

  • Bad eating habits to avoid

    Everyone has succumbed to bad eating habits at one time or another. Occasional lapses in judgement happen to all of us but the trick is to not make these bad eating habits part of your daily routine. Are you guilty of any of the following bad eating habits?

     

    • Eating late at night. You've had a long, stressful day and there's nothing more relaxing than plopping yourself on the couch for some mindless channel surfing. And that often leads to bad eating encouraged by fast food commercials and other tempting fare on the screen in front of you. Before you know it, you've eaten a half a bag of potato chips without even realizing it. This will not only only put on weight, but your body will have a harder time digesting food that you eat right before bed so you won't get a restful night's sleep. 

  • Chewing gum for weight loss

    Chewing gum can do more for you than freshen your breath but can it really help you lose weight? Apparently, it can and we are going to show you how.

    Do you remember hearing that chewing gum when you're dieting would actually make you gain weight? The theory is that when you chew gum, you're signaling the brain that food is on the way. When the food fails, to appear, the brain thinks that you're starving so your metabolism slows down to conserve fat stores. Happily, I can report that there has never been any evidence to prove that gum chewing causes the number on the scale to go up and not down.
