Stay Healthy: Boost Magnesium Levels with These Two Foods
It’s becoming common knowledge that the majority of people in the Western world are deficient in magnesium (among other minerals and vitamins), due to soil depletion. Yet magnesium is a co-factor for more than 700 (maybe as much as 1,300) enzyme systems in the body, which makes it essential for good health. But where can you really find magnesium?
Magnesium supplements often cause unpleasant intestinal consequences, and the use of transdermal magnesium rarely moves the needle in lab tests for magnesium levels. My advice? Seek out some dietary sources rich in magnesium. -

Important News For Everyone: Windows 10 Is SPYWARE!
I have yet to be sold on this new "Windows 10" program, and have not "upgraded" most of my laptops and desktops to this newest Microsoft version.... I have said in my last two rants for everyone to be careful of this "latest and greatest" creation by Microsoft, and to be weary of all the hype about the upgrade being "free"...
