Be informed that most illnesses or diseases we suffer from- apart from those genetic ones, are as a result of toxins and free radicals store-up in our bodies, and of course certain lifestyles.
You wonder why some people actually look older than their real age, and we often attribute it to nature, it's not always so. What happens most times, is the build-up of free radicals like sulphur, and other heavy metals in the bloodstream, thus making the blood toxic and acidic, which in turn makes it difficult for the skin to retain moisture and freshness.
It's very difficult for the body to function properly and produce energy in an acidic environment.
Your lymphatic system works extra hard just to maintain an ideal balance between acidity and alkalinity.
