Do you remember listening to old stories by Grand Maa. Running outside in the playfield. Eating in earthenware. Back then, everything had a purpose; value in its existence.

When we study these closely, we realize the wisdom in them that helped our ancestors live happy and healthy lives. Believing in science and medicine is good but don’t let it blind you to some of these simple practices that can work wonders for your health and longevity.
