Koios to Release New 'Fit Soda' Line of Functional Beverages
/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/
VANCOUVER, Sept. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE:KBEV)(OTC: KBEVF) (the "Company" or "Koios") is pleased to announce it will begin production of a new line of functional beverages under the brand 'Fit Soda', beginning in Q1 of 2019.
A functional beverage is a drink augmented with nutrients and/or supplements in order to convey a health benefit to the consumer. Examples of functional beverages include sports and performance drinks, ready to drink (RTD) teas, and nootropic beverages sometimes known as 'smart drinks'.
Koios is already one of the leading innovators in the nootropic beverage industry, and is now branching out into a line of functional soda drinks.
"This is a beverage line we've had in our development pipeline since before we launched the company," says Koios CEO Chris Miller. "We wanted to produce a beverage that lets our customers enjoy a high end soda drink, but also get some benefit from that drink at the same time."
Fit Soda will be produced using only organic ingredients and manufacturing methods, without any artificial preservatives, colours or flavours.
"The idea is to create a beverage that gives you all the taste you expect from a quality soda product, but with none of the guilt," Miller says. "It's a 'soda with benefits'."
The Fit Soda line is the second phase of the Koios product launch that began in early 2018 with the production of the Company's line of nootropic beverages intended to increase mental focus and acuity. The Fit Soda line is generally focused more on physical well being, featuring blends that offer high levels of nutrients, amino acids, proteins, electrolytes or probiotics.
"Our society is experiencing huge demand for natural, organic foods and beverages, with the market for these products growing by an expected 70 per cent between 2016 and 2021," Miller says. (Source: Packaged Facts, 2016) "We're seeing that demand already, as our sales literally doubled over last month."
To meet that growth, Koios announced in August it had entered into a co-packaging agreement with Golden Global Goods, the parent company of Rocky Mountain Soda. The agreement gives Koios access to Rocky Mountain's high-volume production line, so the functional beverage maker can now produce a lower minimum amount of product at any given time, while achieving the same cost-effectiveness that could otherwise only be gained through mass production.
Miller says that agreement was reached in part so that Koios can schedule release of its Fit Soda line in January or February of 2019, while still maintaining production of its current lines of nootropic beverages.
Additionally, the Company will also proceed with its new line of THC and CBD infused beverages through its wholly owned subsidiary Cannavated Beverage Corp., as announced on Sept. 4, 2018.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Chris Miller, CEO and Director, KOIOS BEVERAGE CORP.

Pregorexia and Drunkorexia
Food and Weight Obsessions Go To Dangerous New Levels
In a society that values thinness, conditions like anorexia and bulimia cut across race, color, gender and socioeconomic constraints. They’re defined by extreme emotions, attitudes and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues. According to the National Eating Disorders Association, roughly 30 million Americans will suffer from an eating disorder at some point in their life. Two new dangerous eating disorders they are mostly being seen with millennials are “pregorexia” and “drunkorexia.” We turned to Dr. Sanam Hafeez, New York City based neuropsychologist and Teaching Faculty Member at the prestigious Columbia University Teacher’s College for some insight.
Drunkorexia: “I want to drink but I don’t want to get fat so, I won’t eat.”
While binge-drinking is in no way gender-specific, drunkorexia is a practice more common to females. This term is used to describe the unhealthy combination of extreme food restriction, bulimia and alcoholism; basically, it is a term for a female who starves herself throughout the day, then drinks to excess at night.
Those who engage in this practice rarely suffer from anorexia. This is because a female with anorexia tends to avoid alcohol consumption altogether. Even if she eats nothing during the day, the high caloric content of alcohol is too frightening. “The fear of losing control is enormous. Rigid control is essential to maintaining anorexia. Alcohol may lead to a relaxation of this rigidity and she may fall victim to the allure of food which is why anorexics avoid alcohol,” explains Dr. Hafeez.
For myriad reasons, a female with bulimia is much more likely to fall into the category of drunkorexia. “In the case of the bulimic, alcohol may play a significant role in their binge-purge cycle. In addition to eating huge quantities of food, she drinks excessively. Not only does she experience the mood-altering effects of alcohol, but also the large amount of fluid helps her in the purge process. After purging, she may drink more to sustain the high of intoxication. It’s an incredibly damaging cycle,” adds Dr. Hafeez.
The Dangers of Drunokorexia
Eating on an empty stomach will definitely increase blood alcohol concentration, simply because there is nothing there to absorb the alcohol. This increase is more likely to result in blackouts, injury, and poor decision-making. It also can result in temporary dehydration because of excessive urination and lack of thirst. Also, engaging in this behavior frequently can lead to nutritional deficiencies. These are some of the more immediate effects, but longer-term effects can include increased damage to the liver and kidneys, as well as alcohol addiction.
If you are worried that you or someone you know are suffering from drunkorexia or you know someone that is, it is important that you seek professional treatment. “We would want to work on the needs to control and escape also worthiness issues hence, the focus on thinness,” Hafeez explains.
Pregorexia: “I’m pregnant, don’t want it to show, and I absolutely cannot get fat.”
In the age of social media, it’s not so surprising that this condition exists. Pregnant millennials see celebrities their age pregnant on Instagram with their “bounce back body” in tip-top shape just weeks (or a few posts) after giving birth.
These women are so afraid of weight gain during pregnancy that they don't adequately nourish themselves and their developing baby. “While it is not an actual diagnosis, the fear of weight-gain due to pregnancy and worse, the inability to return to the pre-baby weight, makes some expectant mother’s pregorexic and this is when some turn to strict dieting and excessive exercise,” shares Dr. Hafeez.
Not gaining enough weight when you're pregnant is dangerous. It can increase the risk of miscarriage and birth complications such as prematurity and low birth weight.
The risk of pregorexia might be higher for women who have a history of eating disorders and those who have a weak social support system.
Specific warning signs of pregorexia might include:
- Talking about the pregnancy as if it weren't real
- Heavily focusing on calorie counts
- Eating alone or skipping meals
- Exercising excessively
What happens when you don't eat enough nutritious food in pregnancy?
When you severely restrict your food intake, or binge and purge while you're pregnant, your baby will not receive the necessary nutrients it needs to develop in the womb.
Your baby may be born underweight and develop other health complications during infancy. You will also likely be fatigued. The lack of nutrients to your baby may hamper their growth and development which may later result in serious health conditions.
For some women, pregorexia may lead to a miscarriage.
Women should not be shamed for this condition; it doesn't make them bad mothers, they are fighting a battle. Instead we should talk about it more, so the disorder can be better understood and destigmatized.

Gripping Memoir Details Life Before And After Debilitating Stroke
Trevose, PA, September 10, 2018 ― For Mary Reid-Hill, the word "no” means surrender. It means life on the couch. It means dying a slow death. So never tell Mary that she can't do something. Because she'll do everything in her power to prove you wrong.
Mary entered "adulthood” with a load of problems to unpack, including a twisted, abusive childhood; a misguided teen marriage; and a cancer diagnosis at the tender age of 22. Somehow, in spite of it all, she used her skills as a visual artist to carve out a career in the male-dominated world of sign design and installation.
But life wasn't done testing her. At age 38, at the peak of her success, she suffered a major stroke which left her with essentially half her brain and body capacity. For more than 15 years, she has defied doctors, therapists, and even friends and family to stubbornly and relentlessly find her own equilibrium and happiness, "in spite of” all of her health challenges, psychological roadblocks and spiritual upheaval.
But that's just Mary.
And now, she's sharing her remarkable story in her inspirational memoir, In Spite Of . . . How I Survived Abuse, Cancer, and a Giant F@#%ing Stroke, as told to David Tabatsky—author, co-author and/or editor of more than thirty books, covering a vast range of subjects. For more information on David, please visit his website at: www.tabatsky.com.
Mary's approach is refreshingly candid and infused with humor as she chronicles a series of life events that would emotionally cripple most people, including her messed- up childhood, two bad marriages, the devastating stroke, her battles with weight and insurance companies, and the death of her husband. Through it all, her no-nonsense prose underscores why she's become a living example of what the human spirit is ultimately all about and how, in spite of it all, she's still here.
Mary was born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and still lives there today, on the corner of Hope and Humor. For the past 17 years, Mary has been unable to hold down a job, due to a disability stemming from her stroke. However, she remains as active as possible, renovating her home, refinishing furniture and continuing her main passion––drawing. Her memoir includes 15 original drawings, some of which she created before the stroke, and several after, when she had to teach herself to draw all over again, this time with her left hand. On top of that, Mary cares for two dogs and occasionally her two closest sisters.

CordovaCann Announces Letter of Intent to Acquire Ontario-Based Licensed Producer Applicant
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 5, 2018 / CordovaCann Corp. (CSE: CDVA) (OTCQB: LVRLF) ("Cordova" or the "Company"), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 2366607 Ontario Inc. d/b/a Alterna Medicinals Canada ("Alterna") for the total purchase price of $1,693,750 Canadian dollars and 1,204,167 shares in the common stock of Cordova, contingent upon Alterna obtaining receipt of a License to Cultivate under Health Canada's Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) for Alterna's facility in Listowel, Ontario. Furthermore, Cordova has agreed to loan up to $1 million Canadian dollars to Alterna to fund the required capital expenditures to advance the application process for such License to Cultivate.
Alterna is an applicant to become a Licensed Producer under the ACMPR program and was provided a Confirmation of Readiness by Health Canada earlier this year for its 14,000 square foot leased-facility located in Listowel, Ontario. The facility has future expansion capabilities across its seven acre site.
"Expanding our cultivation capabilities into the Canadian market is an essential step in achieving our goal of capturing greater international market share," stated Mr. Taz Turner, Chairman and CEO of Cordova. "While providing access to the Canadian market is of significant importance to us, the acquisition of Alterna is also expected to provide us with the ability to distribute our branded, formulated products to international markets, furthering our mission to establish a global cannabis manufacturing and distribution platform."
The transaction as contemplated is subject to standard terms and conditions of transactions of this nature, including but not limited to the completion of satisfactory due diligence and the approval of Cordova's board of directors.

4 Ways to Make Getting into a Yoga Workout Habit Easier
Yoga is one of the most beloved activities around. It’s been enchanting people everywhere for a long time. Celebrities often wax poetic about it. Physically fit folks often can’t stop raving about it, too. It can do a lot for your mind. It can also do a lot to limber you up and can assist general wellness.
Learn Yoga Background
If you’re having a hard time adjusting to a brand new yoga routine, it can help to do a little research beforehand. Research can increase your yoga enthusiasm. Learn about the history of this practice. Learn about all of the perks that are linked to it, too. If you need an incentive to take on yoga, knowledge can be a great one.
Sign up for Yoga Classes
Doing yoga on your own can make you feel like you have an excuse to be lazy. If you sign up and pay for classes, however, you may feel guilty about bailing on them at the last minute. If you want to feel accountable, then you should register for yogaclasses at a nearby studio. If you’re set to attend classes two or three times a week, you’ll be a lot less likely to thoughtlessly ditch them.
Do Yoga with a Friend
You don’t necessarily have to pay for yoga classes. If you want to feel accountable, you can get a yoga buddy. Look for a friend or a family member who is as eager to enhance their mind and body as you are. Schedule meetings to do yoga stretches and poses together. Having a yoga partner can make your workout regimen a lot more enjoyable. Cancelling plans can be extremely rude, too. If you want to avoid being inconsiderate, you have to proceed with your session. This helps you be more accountable.
Concentrate on Wellness
Yoga and a healthy lifestyle are like two peas in a pod. If you want to adjust well to a yoga workout regimen, it can help to think about the big picture. Think about tweaking your eating habits and concentrating on eating healthier and more nutritious foods. Think about enhancing your mind, too. If you adopt a healthy and balanced mindset, it can make keeping up with your yoga workouts a lot simpler. You can work on your mind by doing meditation in conjunction with yoga.
Adjusting to a yoga workout plan can initially be hard. It usually pays off in the end, though. If you want to adapt to a yoga-oriented lifestyle, there are all sorts of simple things you can do.
The SwampButt Underwear College Football Coach On The Hot Seat For Week One
Lake Jackson, TX. (September 6, 2018) SwampButt Underwear (www.swampbutt.com) is proud to introduce the ‘College Football Coach On The Hot Seat’ award for week one of the college football season. Week one’s winner, with a full-on third-degree singe to his backside, is University of Texas head football coach Tom Herman.
0-2
For the second year in a row, Coach Herman and the horns lost to Maryland. On both occasions the horns were ranked in the top 25 and prohibitive favorites to beat the terps of Maryland. Even for a former flash in the pan – flavor of the month like Herman, the latest defeat is hard to figure as it came against a team that did not have a head coach. “Tom Herman gets paid $5 million a year to coach at Texas, while Maryland pays $0.00 a year for their head coach,” said SwampButt Underwear spokesman and reformed gambler Nick Heraldson. “Analysis of this data clearly demonstrate that the people in Landover, MD. are getting a better value for their investment in coaches than those in Austin, Texas are.”
The Herman Magic
Herman came to Texas by way of Houston where he coached one full season and a few games the second before he started shopping his resume and lost interest. In 2015, the Houston Cougars were 13-1, AAC champions and Chick Filet Peach Bowl champions with a defeat of Florida State. Houston posted impressive if improbable victories over two different Heisman Trophy led teams in Lamar Jackson’s Louisville Cardinals (twice) and Baker Mayfield’s Oklahoma Sooners. But the Herman magic was left in Houston along with all the broken promises that he made to boosters, administrators and his players while smooching each and every one. “This second loss to Maryland should not distract anyone from the fact that Texas also lost to Maryland a year ago,” Heraldson stated.
Explanations?
Texas’ and Herman’s underachievement on the field were the source of consternation, frustration and speculation during and after Saturday’s game. Some theories were:
- Herman was too involved with the Ohio State matter, busy packing and looking for property in Columbus, OH and unable to pay adequate attention to his team at Texas.
- News that Coach Herman had been at a strip club while an assistant at Ohio State, and the hassle of unpacking and getting his earnest money back from the real estate company in Ohio was also keeping his mind elsewhere.
- His hair plugs were in too far and/or too tight to think clearly about football.
Projected Winners for Week Two?
While predicting the future is not something the SwampButt Underwear people profess ability in, the early money for week two is on Coach Kevin Sumlin of Arizona, Chip Kelly of UCLA or even Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury. “All these guys were o’fer week one and two of the three have challenging games this Saturday,” Heraldson predicted. “UCLA plays Oklahoma and without much improvement the Bruins will reclaim their ‘legitimate doormat’ label from the 1980’s. Arizona plays Houston in Houston where fans remember that the last time Kevin Sumlin was there he ditched the Cougars a week before their CUSA championship game, costing them an undefeated season, and an invitation to the Sugar Bowl.” Heraldson continued, “Kingsbury is more suited to talking with the moms of recruits than being on the sidelines, ‘brah’. Tech’s game Saturday against Lamar is a lay-up brah, but they have Houston the week following…. Brah.”
