You've heard me say many times that getting the flu is good for you. It activates your immune system. And an activated immune system is much less likely to come down with chronic degenerative diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. What's not good is getting a case of the flu and not quickly getting over it. That's why it's so important to know how to prevent the flu and to have a doctor who knows how to beat the flu with ozone and vitamin C therapies. And now, new research is finding that coming down with the flu could be much more serious than we thought. Rather than knocking you out of commission for a week or so, getting infected with the flu could actually have lifelong implications. 

Do you want a stronger brain? Then start lifting weights. It might start strengthening that big muscle you have between your ears. At least that’s what a recent study shows. 

Many people assume that their cancer risk comes down to two factors: their genes and their lifestyle. While that's true in a sense, these two aspects are much more intertwined than that. That's because lifestyle factors can actually affect how our genes express themselves, through a process of epigenetic changes. This means that even if you have a gene that's linked to cancer risk, it may never be turned "on" if you lead a healthy lifestyle. Conversely, poor decisions can turn "off" healthy gene expression, creating a perfect storm of cancer risk.
