Many people do not realize that adult stem cells play a key role in the natural renewal of your body and are essential for the maintenance and repair of organs and tissue throughout your lifetime.
Due to factors such as age, stress, pollution and poor diet, there is a reduction in the release and activity of adult stem cells, which may lead to a decline in the natural ability of your body to maintain optimal health.
Stemtech’s clinically studied stem cell nutrition line of products is designed to help support three most important aspects of stem cell physiology: the release, circulation and migrations of stem cells.

The whole thing is just stage managed may be for sure one mans opinion. We know football and follow it systematically the whole thing is rendered futile.

Do u guys still care about FIFA rankings? If Zambia is No.14 in Africa and CAF/FIFA holds a 14-Team Tournament with all these teams above us, is Zambia going to be the last?!!
Basically thats what it means.But that cant be the actual position if we get on pound-for-pound games with these 13 teams above us. When did SA last beat Zambia for example?
These are just f*nckedup rankings to please the politicians, bookmakers, gamblers, pundits etc
