We don’t often think about the mysterious inner-workings of our body – inhaling oxygen and pushing out carbon dioxide, blood flowing and pumping through the heart, the movement and excretion of waste and toxins. All of this occurs flawlessly when our bodies receive enough of what it needs to stay in balance and to do […]
