A HEALTHIER YOU...HOW TO SLOW THE AGING PROCESS.

Aging is defined as a progressive degeneration of cellular structure.

Your body is actually designed to last many more years than you might think, and it can with knowledge and practice according to natural law.

ARE WE KILLING OUR CHILDREN?

You are what you eat. The "super-size" portions and high sugar consumption of the American diet have super-sized our children and put them at risk for a life time of disease.

STIFF JOINTS AND/OR MUSCLES?

Do you suffer with stiff joints which are worse when you first get up but improve with movement during the day?

Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, tossing and turning, waking and not being able to get back to sleep, awakened easily by minor noises, frequent nighttime urination? The problem may not be the bed, the prostate, the bladder or noise. Insomnia can be caused by a nutritional deficiency!

STRETCH FOR LIFE!

Flexibility is a key component of a happy and healthy life. Fluidity of body and mind keeps us not only young in spirit but more energetic and agile as we age. I laughingly associate lack of flexibility with rigormortis…the ultimate rigidity! Remember, we were all born as "flexible" little babies.

Natural Ways To Relieve Headaches

Early Detection For Breast Cancer

There are many reasons that breast cancers and diseases go undetected before they are advanced or it's too late. We have an exaggerated faith in mammograms; we don't do regular self examination palpation; we under estimate our risk factors; we have small breasts or cosmetic surgeries that keep us from getting mammograms; we think we are too young to get breast cancer; we are unaware of other screening methods.
