You might have grown up the same way and it is now really hard for you to form the habit of drinking water. Well, first off you might wonder why you should care. Why would you want to drink water?

I just finished reading the book UltraMetabolism by Mark Hyman, M.D., and I am excited! I am a big believer in the fact that nobody is born with a slow metabolism and we all can take steps to build and improve our individual metabolism.

Mark Human, M.D., is the editor in chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, the … [Read more...]
