Men are physically able to father a child much later than women can normally conceive.  But, the risks increase with the age of the father.

It has long been known that older women have a higher chance of giving birth to a baby with Down Syndrome.  This occurs in less than 1 in 1,000 women under 30, 1 in 400 at 35, and 1 in 6 by age 50.

• Cranberry juice will prevent a urinary tract infection.
• Apple cider vinegar lowers blood pressure and takes away the pain and restriction of movement caused by arthritis.
• Eating turkey will put an insomniac right to sleep.
• Garlic will lower the bad cholesterol.

When there is a choice, the natural way seems best.

~ Natural remedies do affect the body and can be strong “medicine.”  Using two at once can result in each cancelling out the other or in getting too much of a good thing.
