This mistaken idea could cost you your life
I was at a business meeting where coffee, tea and cake were served as refreshments after the speaker’s presentation. A woman cutting the cake asked me if I’d like a piece and I politely said, “No thank you.”
What she said to me after that literally blew me away.
She said, “Oh, go ahead and have a piece. It’s good for you.”
I’m not often speechless, but this time I was.

2 surprising health benefits of probiotics
Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last few decades, you probably have heard that probiotics help prevent gas, bloating and constipation.
You also might know that they support your immune system and can help ease asthma and allergies.

A deficiency in any nutrient will ultimately lead to sickness and disease of some kind—it’s just a matter of time. But when it becomes a top-10 cause of death, it’s time to take notice! I’m talking about Omega-3 essential fatty acids—specifically EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). Here’s why being low in these bad boys can be positively deadly.
Both sides of the blood pressure story
Most people are aware that high blood pressure is not a good thing. If not properly controlled, hypertension can lead to serious damage in your arterial walls and make you a candidate for heart disease.

Everything you’ve been told about cholesterol is wrong!
But what if I were to say that most of what you have been told about cholesterol is either not entirely accurate, or downright WRONG?
