Health, Nutrition and Stress
Do you value your health? What kind of fuel do you put into your body? Do you pickle your brain and liver with alcohol? Clog your arteries with grease? Blacken your lungs with tobacco smoke? Are you slim and full of energy, or overweight and sluggish? Do you huff and puff going up stairs? Health…

Illness is often the gateway to personal development. Along with the pain and suffering of a physical illness comes opportunity to change and to grow.

A New Body Every Year?
Would you like a brand new body every year? It’s not that far-fetched you know! Your body is constantly regenerating itself.
