taken half an hour after or before.
a glass Of water upon rising should
be an invariable rule. This clears

always a shock to the stomach.

 may doubt it's efficacy for that reason alone. But don't pass judgment until you know more.
 4 very c3sy requirement. of this unique system of fat reduction is that you take ten deep breaths each morn ing and evening in the open air or standing by an open window. Take one oil of korein capsule after each meal and before retiring at night also follow the other simple directions i that come with the capsules.
