Perhaps best known as a immune-system boost or antidote to scurvy, vitamin C has been found to rejuvenate aging skin by reactivating genes responsible for cell growth. By promoting DNA demethylation, vitamin C enhances the proliferation of cells that result in thicker and healthier skin. This discovery opens new avenues to genetically revive aging skin.

Long before the Inka (commonly known as Inca in English) rose to power, a mysterious civilization bloomed on the edge of Lake Titicaca. Known as Tiwanaku, it began as a humble farming village in the Bolivian highlands and, by around 500 BCE, grew into a sprawling city-state that influenced much of the Andean world.
From ancient Roman baths to modern infrared saunas, passive heat therapy has become an increasingly popular therapeutic tool for improving health and reducing the risk and/or severity of disease. As the heat seeps in, your core temperature rises. The result? Your cardiovascular system kicks into gear, your blood vessels expand, your heart rate elevates – like a brisk jog without leaving the bench.

The vertical movement of the mantle is one of the driving forces that brings about large-scale geological changes to the surface of our planet. These mantle upwellings, sometimes referred to as mantle plumes, are hypothesized to play a role in some major geological shifts such as continental drifting. A similar, subtle yet significant phenomenon has been found to be currently taking place beneath the African continent.
