About Me View My Posts
Researchers believe they have found an “anxiety vaccine” in the most unlikely place: soil.

by Fred Fletcher
About Me View My Posts
Considering the fact that our bodies are mostly made from water, it's easy to see why we need to consume so much of it per day (about 3 liters--more, if you exert yourself to any extent).
