Yea….the weekend has arrived and I can kick back and let my mental process take a much needed break…….from the incessant drumming of a missing plane with NO credible info or the insanity of the people we call ‘politicians’……

If you are getting older then you are fighting or have fought the battle of the bulge….those extra pounds that come from getting up in age….it is okay…it is something that happens like growing hair in places that you ever had hair in the past……and with those pounds has come the worry of how you look or how it will effect your health and in turn we start looking at all kinds of schemes to lose those pounds…most of which are scams, at best…..but a recent study has found an answer and it is a great way to enjoy yourself……

The plant tequila is derived from could play a role in fighting obesity, and it doesn’t involve getting people so drunk they forget to eat, researchers say. Natural sugars found in agave appear to protect mice against obesity and type 2 diabetes, Fox News reports. The sugars, known as agavins, acted as a dietary fiber and were not absorbed into the bloodstream, leading researchers to believe they could be an ideal artificial sweetener for obese or diabetic people. “In certain circumstances, artificial sweeteners are useful in helping people maintain glucose control,” an expert tells MedPage Today. “If this is all true, it sounds like it could be another additional tool for people with diabetes.” The researchers say “agavins have a great potential as a light sweetener,” though two big obstacles exist: They aren’t that widely available, and they aren’t very sweet. And if you’re an agave syrup fan, take note: That syrup is very different from agavins; the researchers liken it more to high-fructose corn syrup.

Bottoms up and get with the program!

Have a great weekend, my friends.
