These treats are a little like the Arnold Palmers of the fruit-pop world! If Peach Black Tea (my favorite!), Lemon Black Tea, and Blueberry Chamomile frozen bars don't sound incredibly refreshing, we're not sure what does. In addition to these slender 35-calorie pops, they come in a larger 60-calorie size. Find them at major retailers. Bonus: There's a Tangerine Ginger Ginseng flavor available exclusively at Target!

Think before you chew: 10 foods that could raise or reduce your risk of death.
A recently published study has revealed some easy-to-digest (no pun intended) info about the foods you should be eating. When examining cardiometabolic disease (like heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes), a high number of preventable deaths was linked to either eating or not eating certain foods. The items you should be eating? Nuts and seeds, seafood rich in omega-3s (like salmon), vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and polyunsaturated fats (like the kind found in olive oil). And the top foods to avoid are salt, processed meats, sugary beverages, and red meat. We can't argue with that!
Gluten-free warning... A low-gluten diet may be linked to higher diabetes risk.
If you're cutting out gluten but don't have celiac disease, be cautious.
New research suggests that eating gluten-free products may be connected to a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The speculated cause is that foods formulated to be gluten-free tend to contain less dietary fiber and fewer nutritious micronutrients than their gluten-containing counterparts. Eeeks! Stay aware, and make sure you're getting the good stuff from somewhere.
And that's all we've got. 'Til next time... Chew the right thing!
