The Digestive System The digestive system runs from the mouth through to the rectum. In many ways it is the focal point of the body. It is our earthy center. Whatever we eat, we must have the ability to absorb and make use of it.

One such condition is “leaky gut,” in which the integrity of the stomach becomes thinned and leaky like a colander. One survey has shown that…
For centuries Hainan was part of Guangdong Province, but was designated a province in its own right on 26 April 1988. Subsequently, no doubt in recognition of its potential for economic growth through tourism, this resource-rich tropical island was declared a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) by Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping – the largest SEZ in China – benefiting from preferential development policies, as well as incentives for businesses investing in the island. Hainan has often been called the ‘Hawaii of the Far East’, or the ‘Chinese Hawaii’. It is indeed China’s only tropical beach location, lying at the same latitude…

Most people unconsciously treat their skin as a high-tech fabric—silky yet waterproof, glowing yet warm, silky and sexy yet resilient. The fabric benefits from regular laundering in the shower, occasional dry cleaning in a salon, and some ironing before special occasions. Many people believe that the luxurious fabric we are born in should always be spotless and fresh, no matter what it takes. We would rather bake in a tanning booth and add a glazing of shimmery lotion to hide imperfections than scrub our assets with sea salt and self-massage with virgin olive oil. We use “mattifying” lotions when our…
