GARLIC. What comes into your head when you read that word, gratuitously typed in all caps? Bad breath? Farts that smell even worse? 14th century witch doctors getting sent to the crucible? Something that's very good for you in spite of all these things? Probably yes, yes, yes and YES! I'm not much of a shaman, so I'll stay away from that. But I do know a thing or two about herbs. And garlic might be useful if you have an achy, breaky heart, among other things.
Rhodiola's a very useful herb for toning down your mood, putting some extra pep in your step, and living life with a little more clarity. I also wish the 10 year old me had known more about it, for reasons I'll elaborate inside.......
A customer asked me about the best supplements to take for someone with Parkinson's. Two and a half month's later, I have an answer. Hey, punctuality has never been my strong suit. Just ask my exes.

Vitamins are simple, boring, and they seem to be around us everywhere. But despite their lack of novelty, they can pack more punch than meets the eye.

If you're a dude life just isn't worth living if you don't have testosterone coursing through your veins. But most guys start seeing their testosterone levels steadfastly drop year by year once they hit 30. Sad. But avoidable. Age-induced testosterone decline isn't destiny, it's just a result of bad health. You too can be like Clint Eastwood in old-age, as long as you follow a few important tips.......
Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder in the world. A depressing fact about depression is that if you're depressed, it's likely to occupy 8 years of your life.

Wine, and grapes by extension, have remarkable effects on the health of your heart, blood, cell walls, and DNA. It might seem magical, but with a closer look the workings of red wine are pretty simple. And concentrated. Most of the good stuff from red wine comes from the seed of the grapes, and from there it executes a very simple reaction in your body over, and over, over.
Simply put, grape seeds exert their force by acting as the Robin Hood of electrons inside your body.
Getting enough anti-oxidants shouldn't be difficult or expensive. They're all around you, waiting to be conveniently added to hot water and your favorite dishes.
