Replacing Electrolytes

Replacing Electrolytes

I thought this was an interesting question. (I am on vacation in Oregon visiting family). My nephew, who is 20, is working at drinking a quart and a half of water a day. So he asked me "How do I replace my electrolytes when I am drinking all this water or fluid?"

Good question I told him. I pointed out that electrolytes are minerals. Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potasium are called macro minerals, or major minerals.

Some minerals especially the macrominerals are important as electrolytes. The body uses electrolytes to help regulate nerve and muscle function.

The best source of minerals are vegetables and fruits. Concentrate on the leafy green vegetables, celery, etc. It is suggested that a person get in 5 to 9 1/2 cup servings of vegetables. That is a lot of vegetables. Many people do not get that many vegetables eaten in a day.

If you don't get enough vegetables use something like the Green Vibrance super food powder that I sell on my site. It is concentrated and has over 50 different food sources and is chock full of minerals, enzymes, anti oxidents, digestive enzymes and other good for you things.

Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary Tract Infection

When you think you have a urinary tract infection, you can make sure by using a simple test. You can purchase a simple home kit called Dipstick from your local drugstore.

It is a thin piece of plastic that has been treated. If the tip of this strip changes color, it indicates the presence of a bacterial infection.

If your condition does not test as an infection, It could be an allergy reaction to things that you eat, products you use such as toilet tissue, bubble baths, or soaps. You will need to play detective to find out what may be causing the symptoms.

If you do find that you have an infection you will want to check out the UTI product I have to flush out the infection.

It is also good to add in some probiotics to your nutritional supplements for a few weeks. This will help rebuild your good bacteria.

Liquid Vitamins

Liquid Vitamins

It is a sad fact that according to the Physicians DeskReference, the maximum absorption of nutrients we get fromoral supplementation with capsules, powders and tablets is5% to 15%. Yes, you read that right! 5% to 15%.

That is why so many people say their vitamins are not doing what they are supposed to. They would not have this compliaint if they took liquid vitamins.

Because so little of a tablet is absorbed, is one reason I have often suggested using liquid vitamins when possible, also to take herbs out of the capsule when taking. It is not what you take, but what you can absorb that makes the difference.

Visit my nutritional supplement section. I carry several high quality liquid vitamins.
