Added sugar drives your insulin levels up, messes with your metabolism, and causes those calories to turn right into belly fat.

1. Anya Shah to feature in City Of Hope float at Rose Parade | | Hello. In case you do not know, I am Anya, the daughter of Ajit and Nirali Shah and granddaughter of Chunilal and Ila Shah. I’m writing this holiday season to share some exciting news. As some of you may already know, the Rose Parade is held annually on January 1st. City of Hope always gets its own float every year, and I have been so lucky to be invited this year to ride on their float as a patient survivor. Basically, I’m going to be in the Rose Parade! Since the day I found out I had cancer at the young age of 8, I have come a long way; I haven’t just grown in height, I also grew in awareness and understanding of cancer. Cancer may seem devastating, but it actually is just another obstacle in life to overcome. The Rose Parade symbolizes a new year in my life with a fresh start, cancer free. More than anything, my fight with cancer has taught me to value every moment and new experience that life has to offer. The Rose Parade represents the successful journey I’ve completed and my happiness to be a spokesperson for other survivors. Hopefully, as I sit on the City of Hope float and wave to a national and international audience, I will inspire courage and hope in those fighting cancer right now, so that they too can look forward to a fresh new year of life. | | 2.
