We’ve all heard it, the new cool thing to do right? “Yeah, I can’t eat that, I’m cleansing” or “I feel so light and clear while I cleanse…” It is kind of hard not to giggle because anyone that has ever done a good cleanse knows it’s a lot of work, it makes you tired and irritable and it’s not usually something you go brag to your friends about.

We are getting enough of that every time we turn on an electronic device. I want to talk about why preventive health will be the lifeline of the world going forward. You ask anyone in the world right now what they wish they would have done before the outbreak of COVID-19? PREPARE BETTER. None of us had a clue only a month ago what we are facing right now. The world has turned upside down. But we are here, right now, and this is the time to address THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in this crisis - HOW TO KEEP OURSELVES HEALTHY.
