(Natural News) A multi-national study discovered that 70 minerals and trace elements found in deep ocean water may improve blood flow and hemoglobin levels in the brain after exercise. Based on a concept in paleobiology, life on Earth started from deep ocean waters. During the transition from sea to land, the nutritive complexity of living […]

(Natural News) One of the greatest concerns scientists have about climate change is the potential for the melting of glaciers and land-based ice caps to cause sea levels to rise. They warn that this could create havoc in cities like Melbourne and New York which are surrounded by water, and could cause the total loss […]
