Before you think about running a marathon, it is advisable to do an assessment – a self-assessment that is. Do you have the required discipline, commitment and desire to run and complete a marathon? Are you prepared to participate, in a consistent manner, in the preparation and practice that is required leading up to the run? If you have never run before, it is suggested that you should have run for at least a year prior to starting a marathon run. As a beginner, there are some basics to consider.

If I had a dollar for every supplement question I was asked, I’d be a millionaire.

At approximately the age of 35 the body starts to break down at a more rapid rate. One of the reasons for this decline in health is the reduction in the release of adult stem cells into the blood stream, a supply which is readily available in your very own bone marrow.

Stem cells are the very essence of life. When a sperm unites with the egg, the very first cell created is a stem cell. Also known as “master cells,” a stem cell has the ability to differentiate into other cell tissue types. This ability allows the stem cell to become many different types of cells as needed by the body and, therefore, act to support optimal organ and tissue function. Is your heart in need of repair, skin, eyes, liver, stomach, brain? Stems cells have the ability to act as a repair [ Continue Reading ]
