here's a magazine you should check out

I am always on the look out for natural health news and information. While at the grocery store, I checked out the magazine rack and came across Natural Health. I was impressed by what I found inside. Here's just a few of the articles in the May issue:
Allergy-proof your skin
3 Ways to cheer up
The 2009 Nathural Health Green Choice Awards

I really enjoyed reading the green choice awards to find out the top ten greenest corporations. You might be surprised to find out that an American car company made the list. Go to www.naturalhealthmag.com to check out the web site or pick up a copy of Natural Health at your local newstand.
