Self-Defense? Oh Yeah, It’s About Diet Soda (Is it?)
Did you, by chance, see the article on-line that reported a study about drinking diet soda? The report suggested that there was a 61% higher risk of vascular events (like strokes and heart attacks) for people who drank a diet soda every day. Now whether that report is accurate or not is not the issue. What IS the issue is that your health is linked to what you (do or do not) consume. This is so important an aspect of self-defense that my colleagues and I have started a website called Dietary Self-Defense. Nutritionist and black belt Mike Tubbs oversees the site --and loads plate-fulls of useful reminders and information there. Food and nutrition information is finding its way into our schools and on to our mats too (not to mention, in our mouths!). It’s about time! Self-defense training is so much more than learning how to handle yourself in a hand-to-hand combat situation. If self-defense (of any kind) is of interest to you, call us. We’re collecting stories, people, and ideas around the topic of, well, EVERYTHING Self-Defense.
