Do You Sauna? You Should. 

Those who sauna regularly (2-3x/wk) have 27% less chance of dying of cardiovascular disease! This is compared to those who sauna just 1x/wk. 

Apparently, this has to do with expanding and contracting blood vessels caused by full-body heating and cooling. Those expanding and contracting blood vessels are also thought to help increase brain function and decr. sexual dysfunction. 

Sessions have to last 10-20 mins each, but you have to build up to it. 


Had a super interesting conversation with Dr. Paul last week. It seems the entire dental profession is beginning to reconsider standard treatments. Old fashioned dental treatments may not be as safe as previously considered. In fact those silver fillings may be dangerous. 

I've never heard of holistic dentistry before, but Paul is making a practice of it. If you are looking for a more natural way (yes, it's still pain-free) to treat your's and your families teeth, look him up.
