Our world is filled with simple, inexpensive (or free), natural ways to help us stay well. And, yet, we make it all so complicated.
If you’d give a little more time to this one area, here’s how your health could be enhanced:
- You’d be less likely to be obese.
- Your chances of becoming diabetic or having a stroke would drop.
- So would your blood pressure.
- So would your chances of being in a car accident.
- You’d be less likely to fall, as your balance would improve.
- Your heart attack risk would drop by almost half.
- You’d find it easier to make good food choices.
- Your brain won’t age as fast.
- You’d overall lower your chance of dying.
