My friend, Doug Kaufmann, host of the popular television show, Know the Cause, is the lead author along with two physicians […]
Scientists in England believe that something in the odor of rotten eggs and noxious human toots may protect the important little powerhouses of our cells (mitochondria) from damage. That in turn would protect us from a variety of degenerative diseases such as high blood pressure to name just one. Time article and the Study. The […]
Of course we should exercise. Duh! There are at least 16 reasons to do. Just walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace can do miracles for mood, bone strength, memory, energy, cravings and much more.
