Start off this new year with healthy rules to live by...

Reading the secrets of people who never get sick!
Stress Less!- Stress suppresses the immune system
Eat Less!- Studies find that animals that were fed less lived twice as long! Start by limiting simple sugars and flours, and pack your meals with dark leafy green vegetables.
Opt for herbal remedies!- Green tea can improve your immunity and your health
Make friends a priority!-Studies show people with strong friendships tend to have more robust immune systems and are less likely to succumb to infections!
Stay Ph balanced-The body is healthiest when its systems are functioning midway between completely acidic and completely alkaline. When pH levels fall below that midpoint, the body suffers from a condition called acidosis, which can cause fatigue, rapid breathing, stomach problems ans confusion.  Many experts say that the typical American diet, full of red meat and sugar, has created an epidemic of acidosis in the Western world.  Most vegetables are alkalizing, however, so eating them regularly can reduce  your risk of being too acidic.  Include lots of dark, leafy greens, green beans, asparagus and carrots in your diet.
