Remember
We all have different genetic makeups, what works well for one may not necessarily work well for another individual. It is always good to know yourself, your body and what works well for you. Never follow the usual trend of “One Coat Fits All”. Our body is not designed that way, and our environment as well as what we expose ourselves to plays a huge role in our health, and total well being.
