Sun, Salt & Gut Health: Summer Wellness Tips You Won’t Hear from Mainstream Medicine

Hello Everyone in Natural Health Nation –

What a glorious weekend. Isn’t it great to have the warm temperatures and the green grass and pretty trees and flowers? And what’s even better is that schools out so no bus traffic – ha. It’s a great time of year and I’m looking forward to even warmer temperatures to do some sun bathing and get rid of the gnats. Some folks have a problem with the hot weather, and they are mostly dehydrated – not enough salt for the body to be able to sweat and cool itself. One of our favorite supplements during the summer is Cal-Amo. It is a calcium salt and really helps with hydration as an electrolyte source. So many people have been hoodwinked by the mainstream medicines constant bad mouthing of salt. They never tell you that there is a difference in Sea salt or mineral salt and the junk white salt in processed foods or on restaurant tables. A good way to tell if you need more hydration in the warmer temps is if you start feeling really weak or if you notice muscle cramping. We use a lot of the Cal-Amo mentioned above to stop cramping immediately. And as a side benefit, the Chloride in the Cal-Amo help the stomach produce HCl to support good digestion of your food.

And speaking of digestion, the article that I’m sending along looks at the need for probiotics for good gut health. The article even mentions some of the underlying causes of poor gut health, like junk food and processed seed oils. One of the biggest trouble makers is the use, and overuse, of antibiotics. Don’t get me wrong, they can be lifesavers if needed but they are just handed out like candy by mainstream medicine without looking for the cause of the infection and supporting the patient’s immune system. Even for colds that are viral when the antibiotics don’t even work on viruses. The antibiotics can kill the good intestinal bacteria, leading to yeast overgrowth, which causes a lot of bowel issues. At Natural Health, we are helping our patients know which food are trouble making for them, get digestion back on track, get the pH of the gut in better shape, and regrow the good intestinal flora. Then you can start digesting and absorbing your food so that the body can repair and replace itself – working like anti-aging. The body is meant to be well but you have to remove the barriers that are causing trouble and then feed the body correctly so it can use the innate intelligence it has to get itself well. At Natural Health, we are using whole food supplements, and nervous system repair, to help the body do this. Our goal is to not push the body in any direction, but give it the helps to do as it has for millennia and heal itself, as it was meant to be.

Get Healthy, Stay Healthy, Live Well.
