Wellness is a state of being in good health and actively pursuing good health.
Good health extends in physical, mental and social well-being. Good health reduces the risk of developing certain serious disease conditions.
There are a number of ways that good health is promoted including healthy eating, regular exercise, losing excess weight, limiting direct sun exposure, avoiding tobacco and nicotine as well as limiting alcohol. Prevention is better than cure so try and get regular check-ups to ensure that any conditions are diagnosed early and treated quickly.

I am 60 plus, recently retired, tried every diet in my lifetime, are still severely overweight with health problems like hyperyension, cholesterol, disrythmia, etc. I need to do something drastic if I want to enjoy my retirement. Is this product safe to use with my health problems? Must I start with the 10 day detox or can I start with the 30 day packs (of which I’ll certainly will have to use more than one) because I need to loose at least 50 kilo’s and it can become a little bit expensive.
