I really do believe that the more you worry about something, the more problems you encounter. Although I try to fight it, I was born a worrier and struggle with letting it go each and every day. But the more life I live, the more I realize that if you do not let worry...

Make it Happen Monday: Fight For World Happiness
In a world full of happy people, I’d never have a concern. Never wondering how that child feels. Never wondering why there isn’t more love. A friend would help a friend. A stranger would help a stranger. Every person would show kindness to the person sitting next to them. We’d all remain perfect, just...

Make it Happen Monday: Butterfly Effect
I don’t mean to get all scientific on you here….but bare with me for a second. The butterfly effect is a phrase which encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the...

Simple Living in a Not So Simple Society Is it possible to live “the simple life”? Better yet….is it possible to live the simple life and be happy? I pose that question to you, but I’m going to also answer it in my semi-professional opinion. We hear about simplifying our lives all the time….from...

Make it Happen Monday: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration
Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea). I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.
My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.
Answer:
Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out. Have you tried either of these? Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
