Eating just one cup of leafy green vegetables every day could boost muscle function, according to new Edith Cowan University (ECU) research.

The jig is up!

When you complain about your pain… when you say the opioid meds aren’t working the way they used to… they’ll boost the dose and send you away, claiming more meds will lead to less pain.

It doesn’t.

They KNOW it doesn’t.

But they do it anyway, for one simple reason.

It’s FAST!

Many of today’s big corporate clinics are all about speed. Get you in, get you out, get to the next patient fast. HURRY HURRY HURRY!

Losing weight might not be as simple as going to the gym and eating right. 

Scientists have recently discovered that environmental toxins that enter our bodies through the foods we eat and products we use in our homes might be keeping us fat. 

The human body is designed to continuously and naturally remove unwanted toxins. But if the digestive system, liver, and kidneys are not functioning optimally, these toxins will quite literally embed themselves in fat cells where they can be stored for years.…

Some people can’t sleep without reading, but for others, the bedtime story is left in their child years.

Reading before bed is an age-old tradition. Some people can’t sleep without reading, but for others, the bedtime story is left in their childhood. In recent times, reading interest has surged enormously. Whether it’s because people are running out of hobbies to try when they’re stuck at home or because they’re looking to expand their vocabulary is up for debate.

Here in this article, I would like to show you that Sugar is anything but Natural.

Some say "stay with sugar, you know what it is" and it's true that we need to keep away from the perils of Aspartame, Sucralose and other Synthetic Sweeteners that have bitter consequences to our health.

Have you ever woken up to bright morning skies feeling energized? A big reason for your mood is the high-intensity blue light coming from the sun. Among the visible light spectrum, blue wavelengths have the most powerful effect on your sleep-wake internal body clock.

Both natural and artificial blue light can boost your alertness and mental sharpness. But too much of it may keep you awake when your body needs to wind down.
