Longevity
The average life span of a person in the United States is 78 years old. Genetics could account for only 30% of a person's life expectancy. Taking good care of our health through diet, exercise, supplements and managing our emotions effectively plays an important part in achieving longevity.

The Healing Powers of Wild Chaga
Chaga grows on birch trees in cold regions such as Siberia, northern Canada, Alaska, and some northern parts of the continental United States. It is of particular importance because it has been found to have a wide range of medicinal properties. The life span of the Inuit, who lived in a climate similar to that of the Siberians, was only 40 to 50 years on average, whereas people in the Siberian tribes who consumed Chaga routinely lived to be 90 to 110.
