The human body basically runs on electricity. The food we eat contains electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.), and the water we drink helps them pump in and out of cells constantly, allowing electricity to run through the body powering muscles and nerves. Without these, our bodies would not be able to function. We have… Read More Women Of The Bible: Lydia — Samantha Harvey
