NOPE, diet soda isn’t the “safe” choice many believe. 🚫

A long-term study following more than 36,000 people for nearly 14 years has revealed a surprising risk: drinking just one artificially sweetened soft drink a day was linked to a 36% higher risk of type 2 diabetes—even higher than the 23% increase tied to regular sugary sodas.

What’s striking is that this risk persisted even after accounting for age, body weight, fat levels, and lifestyle. Unlike sugary drinks, the diet soda-diabetes connection can’t be explained by weight gain alone.

Researchers suggest artificial sweeteners may interfere with the body in several ways—by disrupting the gut microbiome, confusing insulin responses, or altering how blood sugar is regulated. Popular sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin have already been shown in earlier studies to affect gut bacteria and even trigger insulin spikes.

While more research is needed to pin down the exact biological mechanisms, the takeaway is clear: switching from sugary to diet drinks may not reduce your diabetes risk—and could make it worse.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS CAN CAUSE STROKE?

🚨 New research from the Searching for Explanations for Cryptogenic Stroke in the Young (SECRETO) study, presented at the European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) 2025, found that combined oral contraceptives (OCs) are linked to a threefold increased risk of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS) in women aged 18–49.

Here are key details:

• Study Design: The SECRETO study included 268 women with CIS and 268 age-matched stroke-free controls across 14 European centers. Of these, 66 stroke patients and 38 controls were using combined OCs.

• Findings: After adjusting for factors like age, hypertension, smoking, migraine with aura, and abdominal obesity, OC use was associated with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.00 (95% CI: 1.61–5.57) for CIS. No significant interactions were found with other risk factors, suggesting the stroke risk from OCs may be independent.

• Stroke Type: Cryptogenic ischemic stroke, where no clear cause is identified, accounts for up to 40% of ischemic strokes in young adults, with sex-specific factors like hormonal contraception playing a role.

• Estrogen Impact: Higher estrogen doses in OCs were linked to greater thrombotic risk, as estrogen increases clotting factors, raising the risk of blood clots that can lead to stroke.

PERK UP THOSE NIPS 🍑

Nips, Nubbin, Teats, Fripple, Puffies, Queeble or just plain old Ni**le - whatever you may choose to call it - if pinking & perking them up is of interest to you, read on.

Have you ever looked at your own ni***es?
Yes, they do come in all sizes, shapes, perkiness & colour and it’s normal for them to vary for each individuals.

Just like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. But do you know that their aesthetic appearance may be a sign of how healthy your stomach system is !!!

If your ni**le is pink & perky, then it’s high probability that your stomach system is healthy. On the contrary, if it is brown or dark-coloured and droopy, then there is likelihood that your stomach is weak.

Look at how the stomach meridian runs in the body. You will see that it runs right across the breast area. In fact one of the key acupressure point called RuZhong (Breast Centre / 乳中 / ST17) lies directly on the ni**le. That is why the aesthetic appearance of the ni***es can indicate how healthy your stomach and gut system are.

Good news for ladies who want to have their breasts lifted up and have healthy looking ni***es, one method is to strengthen your stomach meridian daily.

Following are simple steps you can use to strengthen your stomach meridian.

1. Massage your stomach and breast with Huo Xiang TCM Oil daily.

2. Take a good probiotics like avita LIfebiotics+ daily.

TACKLING ADULT ACNE

This post may be a tad lengthy, but it could be a valuable resource for those seeking natural solutions to adult acne.

1. Topical Relief: Forsythia TCM Oil

For immediate pain relief and to reduce inflammation, consider applying Avita Forsythia TCM oil directly to acne and pimples. This oil is known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its ability to clear heat and toxins, reduce swelling, and control oily secretions. Its antibacterial properties also help prevent further breakouts.

2. Gut Health: The Foundation of Clear Skin

Improving gut health is crucial in addressing acne from within.
Take 2 packs of Avita Lifebiotics+ and 1 pack of Vita18 enzyme drink daily.
The probiotics & enzymes work synergistically to detoxify the body, improve stomach health, and regulate bowel movements. The Vita18 enzyme drink is packed with vitamins and nutrients that promote skin healing, while Lifebiotics+ supports liver health through its patented K21 bacteria strain.

3. Strengthening the Kidney Meridian

To balance your body’s internal systems, strengthen the kidney meridian by applying Avita Angelica and/or Masculine TCM oil to the kidney area and the SanYinJiao acupressure points on your legs daily. This practice helps nourish kidney ‘yin,’ regulate menstrual cycles, and prevent acne flare-ups.

4. Supporting the Liver Meridian

Similarly, apply Avita Forsythia TCM oil to the liver area and the SanYinJiao acupressure points daily. This helps strengthen the liver meridian, which plays a vital role in detoxification and overall skin health.

5. Adopting Healthy Habits

Incorporate these lifestyle changes to further enhance your body’s condition:

1. Morning Detox:
Make it a habit to clear your bowels every morning to expel heat and toxins. (Lifebiotics+ & Enzyme can assist with this)

2. Early Sleep:
Aim to sleep before 11 pm to support kidney ‘yin’ production, reduce stomach heat, and allow the liver and gallbladder to detoxify effectively between 11 pm and 3 am.

3. Exercise and Emotional Balance:
Engage in regular exercise and manage stress, anxiety, and depression to strengthen liver function.

4. Dietary Adjustments:
Avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, spicy, sweet, and oily foods. Quit smoking to reduce heat in the stomach and lungs.

5. Increase Intake Of Fresh Produce:
Consume more vegetables and fruits to reduce stomach heat and dampness. (Vita18 enzyme drink can complement this effort.) Focus on skin-friendly options like carrots, barley, tomatoes, green beans, winter melon, and cucumbers, which help strengthen the stomach, reduce facial oil, and alleviate skin inflammation.

By combining these natural remedies and lifestyle changes, you can address adult acne holistically, nurturing both your skin and overall well-being.
