It has five essential components and if you address each one and embrace it you have beaten many of the odds that are faced against you. The goal is to minimize all those degenerative diseases and conditions.

  • Proper Rest and rehabilitative time for your body
  • A Positive Mental Outlook on Life
  • A Properly Functioning Nervous System

Till next time…peace
