Benefits of Taking a Magnesium Supplement
Although not as well-known as some other essential minerals, magnesium is still just as important. Research has shown that about 80 percent of adults don’t consume enough magnesium-rich foods, like nuts, fish, avocados, bananas, dark chocolate, etc. Those people are more likely to be at risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and other health issues. So, if you think you’re not getting enough magnesium, here are a few reasons why you should be taking magnesium supplements.

Vape Culture in North American High Schools
A sudden storm has taken over the teenage lives, by the name of vaporizers, or "vapes." Although it's not just high school kids using them, they run rampant in the schools, and it seems everyone attending has either tried it, or owns a vape. This is not to say that high-schoolers do not smoke cigarettes, or marijuana, or do other drugs, but there's something so enticing about vaping that gets them interested and hooked.

Due to certain reasons sometimes, we use our hands to perform some tiresome tasks, say fixing the roof. You might end up with a cut that can be deep and turn out to be tearing muscles from deep inside. In such cases, you need to visit the doctor immediately for the laceration repair. Do you think you can wait for the doctor’s appointment in such cases? No should be the answer that comes without a second thought.

What Are Your Nails and Tongue Trying to Tell You?
When patients come to see me, the first thing I look at is their tongue and nails, this is because what the body shows us outside, is often an early sign of potential problems brewing within. As a child I always remember every doctor I went to see, would first say, "Stick out your tongue." But for some reason that I do not understand, this has become a lost art in the diagnostic skills.

My Story! 📝
Hey! I have renal failures, both kidneys failed when I was only 11 years old... I’m now 24 and I’m here to share my story. I’ve been in two kidney transplants, my first kidney was from an unknown donor back in 2008. It only lasted about a year but unfortunately, it failed... I was on a treatment called hemodialysis, I didn’t like it. I was very depressed and missed so much school because of it. My second kidney was in 2014 from a family member it lasted longer than my first but unfortunately, I lost that kidney mid last year 2018 due to my unexpected pregnancy. It was the hardest year I ever had to go through because I had lost my baby... I was very sick for months, and also devastated that I lost another kidney. I really thought I was going to die because I was very sick.

Aloe Vera, One of the Most Powerful Plants on Earth and Its Amazing Health Benefits
I have been using aloe vera for a number of years now ever since a member of my family became quite ill and I wanted to find a herbal remedy to help boost our immune system. This is when I came across testimonials and reviews on how drinking aloe can help repair our bodies and cleanse ourselves to get rid of any toxins we may have. Before I researched aloe, all I knew about it was it was great for sunburn as I am fair skinned I have unfortunately been burnt before and used aloe as a cooling gel to help soothe the pain. It always worked, so it wasn’t that surprising to me to hear that it can detoxify our bodies and boost or immune system and possibly be used instead of over the counter medicine, this lead me to go on and buy an aloe plant so that I could make my own smoothies with the whole leaf and try these amazing immune boosting drinks.
