Exercise --Golden Key #3
This is a scenario we've all experienced at one time or another: we've been working out for weeks. We've trimmed down and built up our stamina. Then we go outside to rake the leaves one afternoon, and find ourselves over-fatigued and suffering from sore muscles for several days afterward. "What's up with that?" we ask. Our great efforts seem made of sand.

Hydration --Golden Key #1
In America’s cities and suburbs more than 15% of the ground is paved. Without the absorption once provided by grasslands and the forest floor, rain now pours off roofs, roads, driveways, and parking lots, coursing into curb grills and storm drains, and eventually into our local streams and creeks much faster than they can accommodate.

Environmental Toxins Volume 1, Issue 8
Detoxification is a normal, natural bodily process that happens automatically and every day. Our bodies are beautifully designed to self-cleanse and self-regenerate—eliminating and neutralizing toxins for us through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph, and skin.
