Eggs and many other foods high in cholesterol such as dairy, meats and seafood have always been an important part of a healthy diet, regardless of what the government or their co-dependent "experts" may say on any given day. Recently, the government admitted its decade's long advice to avoid cholesterol was just a big, fat medical myth. So now the rule followers can "safely" put eggs back on their plates.

Adrenal Fatigue-Never Ignore These Two Signs
Published:08/20/2015 11:35pm
Adrenal fatigue is a hard disorder to recognize. Many of the symptoms you may experience may be related to your adrenal glands which are not functioning properly.

It does this by producing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones regulate the way your body stores and produces energy.

How to Cure Hay Fever
Published:08/06/2015 09:28pm
With the nagging symptoms of hay fever, the focus is mainly on environmental triggers like pollens, animal dander, dust, etc. Clearing your environment of all these things is important if you suffer from serious allergies. However, this is only half of the big picture. A true cure for hay fever requires "cleansing your internal environment."
