Lifewise Health & Wellness Bulletin - May 2012

Many of you may already be familiar with Dr. Mike Evans’ U-tube phenomenon “The 23 ½ hour challenge”; if you are, it’s worth a re-visit, and if not, it is a definite must see! In this short, entertaining podcast, Dr. Evans discusses the single most important thing you can do for your health.

A nice alternative to those high-calorie sports drinks is to add a tiny pinch of natural sea-salt and a shot of lemon juice to our water bottles. Yours In Health, Dr. Karen Baker
