4 Ways to slow aging and prevent disease

  What if I told you that aging, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Type II diabetes, cataracts and arthritis are all caused or worsened by the same health-wrecking "monster?"  This creature is inside all of us, and it isn't always a bad guy...but when it's allowed to get out of control for a long enough period of time it will unleash its wrath.  Then your health can begin to crumble and/or you start...

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

This could be Nature’s perfect nutrient—do you get enough?

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure

What your doctor doesn’t know about high blood pressure
