Can you live into your sixties and seventies without taking basic vitamins? Absolutely, many people do. Will you have a quality of life worth living? Absolutely not, because nutritional disorders from vitamin deficiencies and the drugs prescribed to treat them are the primary causes of age-related dementia, heart disease, strokes, cancers, and countless other equally debilitating conditions. Read more...

Bloating and flatulence are two nasty chronic conditions because they are visible, painful, audible, and stinky. The ‘audible and stinky’ factors aren’t compatible with acceptable norms in most societies and are a serious problem while in school, at work, on a date, or with family past the age of three. Fortunately, with the right know-how, both are fixable and preventable. This article shows how. Read more...

Despite its critical role in health and longevity, vitamin B-12 is one of the most overlooked essential nutrients by both the public and medical professionals.

Your stool is a crystal ball for your health that you get to see every day, ideally. Its appearance and smell can reveal more about your health, diet, and digestion than an annual physical, and it's free to boot. Read more...

While in the air, airline pilots must eat two totally different meals. This rule is strictly enforced to prevent accidental food poisoning from incapathing both pilots at the same time. If getting poisoned with a prepared meal is such a common possibility, imagine how hazardous travel may be for anyone far less accustomed to traveling than strong, healthy, and seasoned commercial pilots.

Constipation starts as a nuisance: a missed day here, a bit of bloating there. By the time bowel movements require straining, they become noticeable — a little pain down there, 10 minutes on the toilet instead of 2 or 3, a feeling of incomplete emptying, a lump under the anus, an occasional drop of blood on a toiler paper, a first laxative...

Just like the stomach or intestines, your teeth and gums are a full-fledged organ. Unfortunately, it’s also the first organ to go bad, the most painful during a toothache, and the least likely to recover once a tooth is damaged.
