An acute lack of energy can generally be restored by dealing with stress, eating nutritious meals, or sleeping properly.

The upload consisted of a video of him simply opening a water bottle and drinking the contents. That's it. He has been doing this simple yet smart upload almost every day for the past nine years. He is currently on day #3335 of drinking water, has finished 9,881 bottles, and from what I can tell he’s not stopping anytime soon. 

If sleepless nights, stress, and rushed mealtimes are a regular part of your life, you’re probably used to not feeling your best.

Your body knows how to detoxify naturally, but you can support—and speed along—the process with these essential rules for healthy cleansing.
