Welcome to New Health Basics

New Health Basics is a common-sense health information resource with everything from the latest news and clinical study results to the validity of Old Wives' Tales and alternative treatments. All is questioned and extremes are thrown out. However, every bit of information available is considered and utilized to formulate the opinions expressed on this site.

You will find that our basic rule of thumb is to get as close to natural and as far away from fabricated as possible. Proper nutrition, environment and exercise have always been the keys to better health and today these basics are more important than ever.

Some alternatives featured may be the polar opposites of what you have heard all your life but please keep an open mind. Ponder the possibilities. Then decide for yourself what is best for you and those you care for.
