Welcome to a new, creative, and dynamic new way of learning about biology and your health.

This portal will help you gain knowledge about the human body in order to develop biology students and to prolong active lifespan on a global scale.

The tutorials and information are based on solid data from peer-reviewed journals and trusted archives. There will be a sprinkling in of some easy to understand and thought-provoking biological nuggets and anecdotes along the way.

For example, do you know why we age? We are rusting...literally. What would you call the OXIDATION of iron, if not rust? Think of a rusty car. Think of the Statue of Liberty! That's a COPPER statue. It is actually brown!...Ever been on the inside? The blue-green we see on the outside that's exposed to Oxygen = Copper OXIDE!

So, yes, the iron in our blood is binding Oxygen with every breath we take, giving our blood its 'rusty' red colour. Free radicals (unstable, reactive Oxygen species) are the result that can degrade our bodies prematurely...The Good News? We can delay the 'rusty build-up' by simply taking our vitamins! Most of which are ANTI-OXIDANTS!

Kindly review the syllabus of courses below for details and...here's to a good life by learning about and beating the leading global serial killers that want to spoil our fun!
