Natural Ways to Manage Cholesterol

When you’re on a ketogenic (keto) diet, you aren’t consuming the high-carbohydrate foods that instigate oxidation and the formation of dangerous plaque in your arteries.

What to Eat for Brain Health

Anything that passes through the gut goes into bloodstream, and ultimately goes to the brain. A healthy gut, therefore, positively impacts the brain.
