Everybody wants to make personal improvements for the New Year. Why not start by cutting out these foods and drinks from your normal diet?

BBQ Sauce

This popular condiment contains high fructose corn syrup which can lead to weight gaining.

Bottled Water

These convenient drinks contain BPA, a hormone-mimicking chemical.

Boxed Cake Mix

These delicious mixes contain hidden trans fats.

Candy

A favorite for cheat days, but candy contains artificial coloring, added sugar, and saturated fats.

Canned Soup

Often thought of as a healthy, quick, affordable meal is actually high in sodium.

Chinese Food

This tasty food tends to be high in sodium.

Deli Meats

These thin slices of meat contain excess sodium.

Diet Sodas

These drinks contain aspartame an artificial sweetener that raises glucose levels.

Fast Food

Fast food contains phthalates which are used in plastic food and packaging.

 Frozen Entrees

These convenient meals are high in sodium and trans fat.

Fruit Juices

As tasty as they might be, they are usually not made from real fruit and they contain a lot of sugar.

Fruit Yogurt

These usually do not even contain real fruit but they also contain carrageenan which causes gastrointestinal inflammation.

Granola Bars

They are not as healthy as you think because they contain sugar, corn syrup, and sorbitol.

Low-fat and Fat-free Foods

These foods are loaded with sugar to compensate for the taste that fatty foods have.

Nilla Wafers

These small wafers contain inflammatory soybean oil and high fructose corn syrup.

 Pop-Tarts

This easy breakfast is fattening because it contains sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and soybean oil.

 Sports Drinks

These drinks contain extra salts and sugar that most people do not need even when working out.

Slim Jim's

To make this meat stick more enjoyable it contains high amounts of high fructose corn syrup.

Sprinkles

These little blasts of color are like eating tiny candles because they contain carnauba wax.

These are just a few easy things you can do to eat and drink healthier this new year. If I can do it, so can you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
