A HEALTHIER YOU...HOW TO SLOW THE AGING PROCESS.
Aging is defined as a progressive degeneration of cellular structure. Our current scientific methods do not allow us to stop this process, but it is understood that certain physiologic and environmental stimuli are responsible for advanced aging. 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. In 1998, the United States Surgeon General declared childhood obesity an American epidemic. The percentage of children and adolescents who are overweight and obese is now higher than ever before.
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? Or do you have sore/achy muscles, especially in the morning, which improves as the day progresses?

STRETCH FOR LIFE!

Natural Ways To Relieve Headaches
Headaches are a very common complaint and are triggered outside the brain tissue, since the brain itself has no sensory nerves. Only certain areas of the head actually feel pain and these are the skin and tissues directly beneath the skin, the arteries, veins, and the cranial and cervical (neck) nerves.
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.
