When you clean Your Home, Don't dirty your body! Living a long life means protecting ourselves from products in the home that can shorten it!

Everybody knows that one should quit smoking, drink moderately exercise and eat a high fiber diet - key measures in avoiding a stroke. But did you know that Avoiding "bad fat" is key - Most women today drench their salad with their favorite off the shelf dressing. 99% of them contain conola oil - a "bad hydrogenated fat" The trans fats in hydrogenated vegetable oil can increase the level of inflammation in the body which in turn increases the amount of plaque deposits in the arteries.

Unfortunately and sadly, suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States today. Untimely deaths like Robin Williams, Kate Spade , Anthony Bourdain and recently Naomi Judd, are all incomprehensible.

The popular solution by the medical community is medication and/or "cognitive behavioral therapy". Community emphasis is to "teach coping" or "improve suicide help lines". Families are encouraged to "reduce access to lethal means" "and encourage "social -emotional learning programs". All good ideas -but effective? With the rate of suicides occurring - obviously not effective enough. Why is it...
