Magnesium is arguably one of the most important minerals necessary for the optimal functioning of the human body. Responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions, magnesium is present in our bones, cells and organs. Unfortunately, the combination of our modern diet and the minerally-depleted “tap” water that we drink have left the vast majority of us severely depleted of this important mineral. As we age, levels of magnesium decrease even further, leaving us vulnerable to a host of diseases directly linked to a lack of this essential mineral, including stroke and heart disease.   Continue reading “Higher levels of magnesium intake associated with reduced rates of high blood pressure and heart disease”

Barack Obama gets $400,000.00 a speech. Why, I have no idea, but he gets it, and that’s fine and dandy, but why am I paying for his worthless performance as a president, in retirement?

We pay his retirement, full medical and other everyday costs making him one of the most wealthy ex-presidents on the planet, for doing nothing. He was useless as a president, and is just as useless in retirement.   Continue reading “Ex-Presidents Giving $400,000 Speeches – Why Are We Paying Their Retirement?”
