Bad news: that’s exactly what’s happening… Peak Organic Alkalizing Greens™ At birth your body’s…
For most of us, the thought of lung cancer goes hand-in-hand with cigarette smoking. We instinctively believe that if we’ve never smoked or had much exposure to second-hand smoke, we don’t have to worry about it. However, the truth is that while smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, it’s not the only cause. Toxins that can unleash cancerous cells in the lungs are often invisible, leaving you unaware…
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is by far one of the most significant risk factors for heart disease. Over time, it can damage your blood vessels, cause vision loss and sexual dysfunction, lead to kidney failure and result in a heart attack or stroke. High blood pressure is treatable and can be managed with lifestyle changes like exercise and diet. In fact, a growing body of research is…

But there is one ancient drink with a reputation as a powerful weight loss aid. One researcher decided to dig a little deeper to find out exactly why it works.

Occasional constipation is nothing to worry about. But what if it’s an ongoing problem? As many as 1 in 5 Americans deal with chronic constipation, meaning they have difficult or incomplete bowel movements, and “go” infrequently.

As much as I enjoy the conveniences of living in a city, one thing I’m not so keen on is knowing the air I breathe isn’t exactly the cleanest. Even when I try to do something healthy, like take a walk around my building, I have to question if it’s worth breathing in the air pollution and exhaust from all the cars whizzing by. I don’t do it often because…
When María Branyas Morera died in 2024 at the age of 117, she left more than memories. She left science a gift: samples of her microbiome. Your microbiome is the vast community of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that live in your intestines and help digest food, produce vitamins and influence your immune system. Some of us may hit the genetic jackpot for longevity, but research has shown many things…
Zeaxanthin is best known as part of a nutrient duo that powers eye health, slashes cataract risk by half and reduces age-related macular degeneration by over 25%. Yet, it seems what it can do for your vision is just the tip of the iceberg… In fact, research is revealing that the antioxidant-rich eye health supplement could supercharge the cancer-fighting activity of immune cells. It’s a discovery that could not only…
I hate to sound like a broken record, but lead is a big problem. And we’re way beyond paint, here. Every few months, it seems we get warnings about lead-tainted spices, lead hiding in dishware and lead-laden air pollution. The American Heart Association says heavy metals contribute to heart disease by causing oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and more — and lead is among…
It’s no secret that vitamin D is essential to support a strong, healthy immune system. But getting optimal amounts of the sunshine vitamin is not so easy. It can be difficult to spend enough time outdoors and expose enough skin to facilitate the natural conversion process — especially in the winter months. That’s why most of us take a supplement. But before you reach for any old bottle of vitamin…
