By George Zapo Micronutrients and macronutrients help to supply our bodies with a supply of raw materials to maintain our immune system, blood circulation, bones, muscles, nerves, skin, and brain. We need an ample supply of macronutrients, which are made up of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. On the other hand, we only require having a small number of micronutrients — minerals and vitamins.

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) In the 1970’s, comic duo Cheech and Chong had fun with their dead-on impressions of two chronically stoned “potheads.” But, in 2017, it appears that marijuana is beginning to lose its “Cheech and Chong” associations.

Not only is celery packed with essential vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, but researchers are crediting it with impressive power to prevent – and even treat – cancer as well. Properties in celery target cancer cells at the molecular level Although celery is rich …read more [More]

As noted in Chemical & Engineering News, “The agency is struggling to get a handle on which [More]

Moreover, when lowering salt in processed foods, many manufacturers took to adding monosodium [More]
By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola An estimated 5.1 million Americans have bipolar disorder,1 also known as manic-depressive illness, which is characterized by unusual and typically dramatic shifts in mood and energy. Emotions tend to be intense, with the patient seesawing between ecstatic joy and hopeless depression. Hallucinations and delusions of grandeur are common during the manic phase, leading the patient to engage in risky and irrational behaviors, such as not looking both ways before crossing the street because they think they’re invincible, or jumping out of a window, convinced they can fly.
