Being low in these is the road to disease
Although there are many paths that lead to disease (including smoking, drug use, excessive alcohol use, having a poor diet, chronic stress, and exposure to toxins), there is another “road” that very few people think of… But it’s one of the most common factors behind the development of disease! I’m talking about poor digestion. And if burping, belching, gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea are your regular companions, you better be talking about it too. ...
Discover what’s causing your IBS—and end it for good!
Let’s play an imagine game for a moment. Imagine that you get gassy and bloated pretty much every time you eat.

Got meds? Read this before you take them today.
I have never heard of this before, but apparently October is National Talk About Prescriptions Month. Good, because I have a lot to say about that subject, so I’ll jump right in.
