Shocking info on inflammation reveals hidden secret to steering clear of it! Inflammation. We hear about it constantly. We somehow know it isn’t good for us. But do any of us really know what it is?

We may think our posture is poor, yet don’t give it another thought… but, should we? Sit up. Stand up straight. Don’t slouch. All things we used to hear but didn’t pay much attention.

Stress is known to ’cause’ many health issues, but why does it affect you at all?… You hear it all too often, or maybe have said it yourself: “I’m so stressed-out,” I carry my stress in my shoulders,” “this stress is killing me” or dozens of others too numerous to count.

In fact, it may require nutritional intervention! “To meet the nutritional demands of stress must be the first consideration in planning any diet, regardless of whom it is for, and in coping with any disease, regardless of its nature.
