An issue comes out on the first end, the 15th of every single month. And if you're up and at it, give us a call at 877-927-6648. So today I'd like to start off talking about salt. The salt of life. The salt of life. And of course, we're, yeah, it is. And we hear lots of things about salt, good and bad. So I thought we kind of just talk about our take on it and why salt is so revered across the world. Right. And there is an untold truth about salt. And we'll see how well this writer gets it, you know. Okay. We always have to wonder with our sources. But, you know, we'll see. We'll see where it goes. Because salt is everywhere. And actually today, you know, you can taste it in the foods. I am very much a salt lover. I like the salty flavor. I do too. I am a salt lover. It helps break down the food. You know, when I put a little extra salt on my meat, I can feel it breaking down easier. So according to the FDA, if you follow the FDA, Americans eat on average 3,400 milligrams of sodium, a chemical element found in salt each and every day. So that's probably about maybe 100 pounds, something like that. Is it that much? Wow. Well, the concern is salt consumption has gotten out of control. But in fact, folks, I think what really has gotten out of control is our use of a chemicalized version of so-called salt. The man-made, highly heated salt that is not the true salt. Yeah. It's not the true salt because it's really been butcherized in a sense because of the high heat chemicals they use to extract it. They bleach it. Do all kinds of things to it. Luckily, there's lots of other salt around that we can tap into. Well, in highly processed foods, they're using these inexpensive salts. Yeah, they are. For that very reason, they're very inexpensive. And I think that's the biggest problem we have. Yeah. You know, it's in everything. Every fast food has it because it does enhance the taste. We have a, we are drawn to it, let's say. We're drawn to the salty taste. I mean, you've got a block of salt out in the woods, and the animals love it too. Right. Well, but the salt that we're using in our franken foods is not the salt that we're meant to eat, like I said. Yeah. And it's two chemicals instead of the 98 minerals that are actually in salt. Right. And it is very inexpensive and used through the food supply because of that reason, but it wasn't always this way. And that's where we want to go with this. Okay. So salt has been around for thousands of years, and according to real salt, probably you've heard of that brand, which is a full, true, multi-mineral salt. People actually traded salt at the same ounce per ounce with gold. Yeah. That's how valuable that is. That was gold in those days where it was a lot less, but in relative to everything else, gold is still the standard that we judge many things by. Right. So if salt is as valuable as gold, and I believe it is, it's something that we should be really concerned about whether we're eating the right stuff or not, I think. Yeah. I mean, there were actually wars fought over salt, and it inspired a largely black market through Europe and Asia. And how did this valuable product actually become so mass produced as a cheap counterfeit is what I would actually call it that we use that is actually not helpful and not the same thing. But I think you would be surprised to learn some of the lesser known facts about salt. You know, most bacteria can't live in high levels of salt. So it was used as a preservative. Yeah, especially in climates that aren't too cold or too hot. If it's too hot, people tend to dry the fish and the meat and hang it out. If it's very, very cold, of course, you have your natural refrigeration. You know, it's so funny I was visiting family up in Connecticut and I thought it was so strange, but it made sense. You know, they just opened their sliding glass doors, a big pile of snow, and they had a bunch of food and drinks out in the snow. So an extensive... Nature's cooler. Right, an extension of their refrigeration. That's for sure. But there's modern food sciences telling us a different story. You know, the salt will actually draw out the moisture, as you mentioned, for this preservation. And it will kill most microbes, but the salt level that actually prevents most bacteria from growing, it's actually very high. So 10% or higher is what's needed to kill bacteria. Yeah, and that's why when we preserved food in salt, we used a lot of it. Yeah, exactly. Good point. Yeah, we want to do it. I mean, we want to make sure that if we're using it as a preservative, that it's at the height of... Yeah, they use a comparison here. There's a lot of salt by comparison. Seawater is just 3.5% salt and a piece of beef jerky is 2.2% salt. This means that salt can be used in conjunction with other preservatives like smoking, salmon, things like that. So it's not just used by itself, but it's also used. And remember that we discovered that the salt itself is a type of... it creates a bacteria in the food that helps preserve it and ferments it. Right. So now we have a food that's even more valuable because it's added... it's kind of digested for us, partly. So it helps with our digestion. That's absolutely true. We need salt. True pink salt or healthy salt or grey salt or the salts that have all the minerals. We need those to create stomach acid. Yeah. We can't make stomach-add hydrochloric acid. Right. It comes from the chloride. That's right. And I forgot what I was going to say, but the salt is so important to us that, like we said, it was so valuable. And now it seems like it's a cheaper product, except for some of those brands that we really like to... like the Himalayan. Those are getting more expensive because they're probably rarer. They're the true salts. And also they're in areas of the world that are harder to get. Right. And you have to keep these things clean. And the reason they're so good is like the Himalayan salt and the Celtic or Celtic salt that we talk about are in these deep ancient beds and they don't have the pollutants in them. So we open them up and... We're going to continue this talk about the salt of life and we're going to take a short break. Make sure to pick up our health signals newsletter and get some final edge while you're on the break and we'll be right back after this short break.

Yeah, we're talking about salt and you know really actually another important thing about salt is without salt we would actually die and that is very true. Every single cell in our body contains salt in the form of ions and these charged particles become the electricity that powers our cells to perform whatever essential function they're designed to do. Yeah so like converting nutrients into energy because our bodies are continuing to losing salt when we sweat or use the restroom replenish the supply of salts through our diet constantly. And although dieticians and so forth might warn us against consuming too much salt that's really because most of them are referring to the toxic man-made highly heated too chemical salt table salt which is not the salt that we actually need. In fact if your body's sodium levels fall below normal you can die from hypoetremia which is actually a low level of sodium natural sodium in the blood. I've often shared with our listeners that Chinese medicine the solution to high blood pressure in Chinese medicine is to eat more sodium in the form of celery. Six stocks of celery. Yeah my physical therapist always has had trouble with her stomach not being able to digest fats and proteins. She probably doesn't need any salt. And she has had in the last year an oriental practitioner that comes to her for therapy and he started advising her. She started eating the Himalayan salt and now she can eat much more. It took about three months. What goes back to what we said in the other thing I've been saying that for years hydrochloric acid we have to be able to digest and disinfect our food and we must have salt in the diet. Very good. I hear she's doing better. Yeah it's a nice process but it's stress too and that's leaving so that always helps too. We might need salt for our bodies to function but the reason we love it is because everything tastes better. It does. That certainly does and that's why the manufacturers put it into the fast food and all these TV dinners that we used to get and things like that just to make it taste better. And remember we've been on this kick for quite a few years of the low fat kick in our diet. But we have to get it out of there and eat it in a good way to where it's going to be. It's a good thing for our bodies to be able to digest that. It's a good thing for our minds and minds to be able to digest the food because it's the only other thing. The salt and sugar is thrown in to make up for what the flavor was lost. This is interesting. And then, all of a sudden, our taste receptors can identify the flavors that we can't sense without it. Yeah, when used in low concentrations, the sodium ions target bitter flavors and reduce the brain's ability to perceive them, increasing the sweet, the sour, or the other types of flavors. Umami. Umami flavors. So, adding a pinch of salt to a cookie recipe would actually make the cookie taste sweeter. Right. Just like when Italians tell you when you're making a spaghetti sauce, put a dash of sugar in it. That's right. That's the acid, too. Right. That will cut the acid. That's very interesting. And how about, you know, we've known that some of the cities, such as New York, led the charge for restricting salt use. Well, again, let's put this in perspective. We should not be restricting our use of healthy salt. We should be restricting our use of processed foods, and thereby restricting the use of the toxic, man-made, heated to 1,500 degrees salt indicator. Yeah, and what we're trying to do is really get rid of the salt in the chains of these fast food companies. I think the wrong way of doing it, I think we have to just have a conscious way of dealing with food, and we have to serve the healthy. And the consciousness is if we don't eat these highly processed foods, we won't be getting this bad kind of salt. Yeah, that's for sure. And so that gets us to the point. There are different kinds of salt. And, you know, this article says, but one isn't healthier than another, but we'll go back to that same point. If it's a natural, fully mineralized salt, like the ones we see in the picture, those have different colors. You get the black salts, gray salts, pink salts. It notes what the mineral content is, too. It sure does. The mineral mixes can vary depending on where it is harvested and when it is harvested and the various methods of producing the salt, too. According to the tasting table, the variety of sea salt is almost endless because you can produce sea salt anywhere there's salt water. Well, truly, some people collect salts, like they collect fine line from around the country. One of the things with the salt water problem is, of course, a lot of our oceans are polluted. They have different minerals in them that we don't want in our bodies. So maybe the modern sea salt is not what you want. Maybe you have to go to those ancient beds and that's kind of, I remember in the 80s, kind of switching over, always buying the sea salt and then saying, Indiana, we're swimming in this stuff, we're peeing in this stuff, we're throwing chemicals and fertilizers in this stuff. Maybe this isn't a good idea and that's when I kind of made a switch over to and investigating really the Himalayan salts and the Celtic salts and those types of things. And, you know, I'm going to say what I've been doing personally. You know, Himalayan salt has got the red color from the iron oxide. Well, I do believe as we get a little older, iron may be an issue for some of us, particularly women, because we no longer have been straight. So I like some of the gray salts, too. I like to shake it up a little bit. Yeah. What about the iodine content in it, like the Himalayan? We're going to get to that point. Really most of these salts are not the best sources of iodine, you know. And the reason we put iodine into the mix of our regular table salt years ago was because we were doing a lot of atomic testing and things like that and that's the story that I heard. Yeah, we were doing atomic testing and it was radiating the thyroid and so we were iodine deficient. So a lot of the soil areas still have that lack of iodine. That's a point that I want to make is that much of our soil, that's the point of the primal edge. The soils are de-menor lives. That's right. So we're not getting these crucial nutrients. Right. And I would say the salt water is, too, and that was my point on that. That's a very good point, Nika. So the table salt that we were talking about was added iodine, which could have made it smarter. And there's been quite a few studies on this showing that there is a growth rate that was, they say, perhaps not natural in the last 100 to 150 years because of the iodine that put in there. I always question the quality of the iodine. Is that the same garbage that they're using in the salt, not being that good? No, it's not a good source of iodine. I'm sorry, because that's not a reason to buy the little Morton Girl salt. No, I agree. No, there's other places that get our iodine. Much richer place would be sea vegetables or grass-fed milk from cows that eat the grass that are getting it. But I really want to go over this. Let's see what this article says. Unlike sea salts that are made by evaporated sea water, table salt is a processed product, as I mentioned, 1,600 degrees, two chemicals, sodium chloride. And they add non-caking additives to keep you flowing, flow agents. And so they're not really good for it. It also has another special ingredient, iodine. They do add the iodine because it was very efficient in helping to correct the signs of goiter, especially in certain Midwestern states that we're having goiter issues. However, that's not enough iodine. That's not a body-sufficient amount of iodine. 115 micrograms is not sufficient for all of the organs and glands that need iodine. Okay. So the last thing here is the number one thing for salt isn't for food. And here we have the guy spraying it on the roads. And of course, that doesn't happen this time of year. But I remember the corrosiveness of the salt you'd really have on the cars and everything like that. I'm just wondering how dispensing this type of salt is that healthy for us. I don't really know. Yeah, for sure. But yeah, you really do know that that's, again, probably a salt that's highly chemicalized. Sure, and who cares if it's on the road, I guess. Anyway, stick around, folks. We'll be right back. So we're going to switch over to doing some talking about sunscreen when we get back.

Let's share some information that might be helpful. When we smear on sunscreen, dermatologists at the Canadian CHI with the University of California says most of us don't think about what's getting underneath our skin. Yeah, I think there's assumption that these things that we apply on our skin, they don't really get into our bloodstream. Well, I say they do. My philosophy is if you wouldn't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your skin. Yeah, that's for sure. And it's a good one because we do know that our skin absorbs. It's actually the best way of applying medicine, transdurable. That's right. Hormones are applied transdurable. They get right into bloodstream. And more and more we're getting into the type of science fiction that the Enterprise and Star Trek used to have where they're just no needle, just going right through the skin and no problem. Well, all television like Star Trek and all that, the future, that's actually disclosure. They're actually telling us what they're doing already or gonna do. Sure. Yeah, exactly. But that's interesting. But earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration raised some concerns about chemicals commonly found in sunscreen. Well, welcome to the world of what natural people have already been doing. The FDA noted that only two of the 16 active ingredients commonly used in the commercial sunscreens, the marrow blocks, the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are generally recognized as safe and effective. So that just goes to show you, look at what he says. Only two of the 16 active ingredients, the sunblock zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are generally recognized safe. And quite frankly, I'll tell you, titanium dioxide is not really recommended as safe and effective. The zinc is the easy one. The zinc is the one that is. That is a mineral, that is a physical block actually. That's the best product there is. And so in a study published in May, the FDA scientists found that four active ingredients found in commercial sunscreens, avabenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and a camsule were systematically absorbed into user skins. And they've been found in breast milk, urine, and blood plasma. And the high absorption rate of these ingredients means we need to study their potential toxicity. These are chemicals, folks. These are like soy-machined oil. I just get blown away when I watch parents slathering sunscreen on their kids' bodies as if they think they're doing a good thing. Sorry guys, go buy them a sunshirt, get them a hat, make them sit under an umbrella, or enough time in the sun, or use a zinc oxide or a physical sunscreen. Physical sunscreens are becoming bigger and bigger. Clothing manufacturers are highlighting these. I think they're a really nice option because then you don't have to worry about these chemicals, which a lot of them are not even listening to their perfumes and things to make them, I don't know what to really tell you the truth. Yeah, folks, these chemical soups that these companies are making are profit-driven and not proven to be safe. And here's some things. If you're nervous about sunscreen ingredients, as I am, I'll take a burn versus putting some of these chemicals on my skin, honestly, I really would. Here you can avoid some of the more questionable ingredients, which basically means most all the sunscreen you would buy at a traditional store. Your grocery store or your drug store, they're almost all toxic. They all have these oxy-bin zone and all of these chemicals in them. So you want to avoid them. You really need to seek out the brands that are approved by the environmental working group or, you know. Remember the old days, I remember in the 50s and 60s, a lot of people were using just baby lotion with some iodine in it. Baby oil and iodine. And iodine is a natural antioxidant, so it protects the skin. Yeah, so what the crazy people were doing on the beach back in the 50s was actually something really good. And we can probably use today. Exactly. Baby oil, not bad chemicals in baby oil. I make my own, well, baby oil is a mineral oil, so it's a petroleum-based product. I prefer to use jojoba wax. Jojoba looks like an oil, everyone thinks it's jojoba oil, but it's actually a skin wax, like what's on our actual skin. So I make my own with jojoba and my own aloe, and I add astaxanthin, which is the red-colored, and I really think that might have been part of the ingredient that they used in that bandicillé tan that had that orange jelly, and everyone used that. Almost they were using iodine, but that's more expensive, of course. Now, iodine's pretty cheap, so, but it wasn't the exact color. It always had this uncharacteristically red color, and I'm curious, I have to check it out. I have refrained from using any kind of sunscreens for probably maybe a decade or two. I don't really recall when I stopped using it. I just have cut my exposure at certain times of the day to the 15, 20 minutes, something like that, because the sun certainly does feel good, but... Well, I really believe that the clothing is a great solution because I think the key is we're not getting enough sun. We need to be out the sun, but we have to protect it. Yeah, we weren't designed. We were designed to be outdoors, and what I've learned from Jack Cruz is the importance of being out in morning sun. This is the day that I have to miss my routine, but sunrise... I'm going to claim the rain. Yeah, wouldn't work today anyways. Sunrise, seeing the sunrise in the early morning actually prepares our skin to handle getting the heat of the day sun. So we get the UVA in the morning so that we can tolerate the UVB in tan and do less damage. And those kind of rituals, going and watching a sunrise or a sunset, these are things that human beings have been doing for millennia, and if you go down to Key West or we go to, like, the farthest point west in the United States or the farthest point east in the United States, you'll find there's little rituals going on where people are waking up to the sun or going to sleep or having a little party at sunset. These things are intrinsic in us, and it's a very important part of the day because this is the last part of that beautiful light that we get. And sunrise and sunset is where we're getting these really rays that are really good for us. Well, the rays that we're getting in the morning and in the evening are in the infrared range. So they have real healing abilities, but they're also the light spectrum that stimulates our neurotransmitters. So we know that if we miss the morning sunlight, we are not getting the proper stimulation for dopamine, the happy hormone. Right, so this hinders our sleep later on. Well, the dopamine is our happy one, but it's the melatonin. Believe it or not, people think of melatonin as a sleep hormone, but we actually stimulate the melatonin. The circadian rhythm is such a clock that the morning sun says to our body in roughly 12 hours, it's time to start thinking about making melatonin. So if we don't get that morning exposure, if we get in our car and we drive directly to our office and we're indoors in an office and we don't come out, we eat lunch at our desk and then we get off at five o'clock and we get in the car with our wifi in our car and we're in a glass car with no natural sunlight, we're not getting our inoculation of the sun's timetable and it's crucial. This is one of the reasons. This is why we don't grow jaws. Excuse me. This is why we're having chronic disease because we are not in sync with nature. We certainly are not. And it's a struggle. But getting back to the sunscreen, folks, I'm gonna recommend that you consult with the environmental working group to find brands that are more healthy for you. Again, I'm gonna make the recommendation if you see any of those questionable ingredients, put them down. And you're not gonna find these brands, healthy brands at Walmart, Walgreens, et cetera. You're just not. They're buying the ones from the big companies. And they're less expensive and that's why people buy them there, that's for sure. So, and you can make your own. There's plenty of recipes on, and I'll try to find a couple of good recipes that I can throw in with this article. Yeah, you can buy zinc oxide and make your own, that's for sure. Just think around, folks, we got a lot more. In fact, talking about the, what were we talking about? No, we're talking about sunscreen, but we'll find something good for you when we get back from the spray. I just lost my thought, but I'll have it. We'll be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you. Something specifically formulated to help with weight loss, better sleep, stress reduction, and the need to detox.

Kind of walking back, I knew there was an article that would relate it to this and we were talking about the sunscreen and the infrared. Yeah, what we were talking about is the full spectrum light's important. The infrared is one of the spectrums. Yeah, so here Under Armour has a recovery sheet set now. For your bed? Yeah, and I think this stuff has been around before. Here, Robbie Bessner, our friend who's been on here, he's got products that have infrared embedded in it. Yeah, and I remember years ago, there was a company, Jisuro, that was selling some type of vitamin drink and they also had this blanket that was from this type of thing that had the infrared. Of course, I use infrared in my sauna. I have a couple of pads that we use for it, so I'm really big into this and this is just another way to help you recover and doing exercise is great. We need to do that. But we need to do recovery. We need to do recovery, too. And because we are not outdoors like our primal plan was, we need infrared light, which is found in the morning and in the evening. Because it's one of the best ways to give your muscles the rejuvenation they need and I don't know, does it penetrate the tissues, the joints and the muscles and alleviate minor aches and pains. It also speeds up recovery time, Niko, by penetrating through your skin to warm you at your core. And so Under Armour has released it, so here's a big brand name, so they will do well with this, I'm sure. Oh, I'm sure, and they've got a lot of recovery gear at themselves and this kind of is what we're talking about is that Mother Nature has pretty much most of the answers for us. We have the cold, we have the heat from the sun, we have the cold in the morning dew, we have that far infrared light that comes in the morning and the afternoon. So nature really has its, and because we're living in buildings and because we have, you know, we're slaves to our jobs to exist and all these things that we have to do, we have to come up with artificial ways of doing this. So I'm glad this technology is here. I still just wanna emphasize that nature is probably a better way of doing it, but there's nothing wrong with supplementing it this way either. Exactly, I'd prefer to get it out in nature, but it has this work. It's because the mineral-aligned fabric used in the recovery shape reflects the infrared light back onto your body. And doing this, you're able to amp up your self-care while you're off the clock. Again, why do we have to have so many tech tools? Just why does everyone have to have the latest gadget? I'm a little bit overblown with all this. I mean, I hate to say it, Steven went up, you know, biohacking and all this. I mean, I get it, why can't we just... Because man has always done that. You know, we walked for a long time. We always think we're gonna figure out a better mousetrap, huh? We figured out riding a horse was a little bit better and later on the wheel, and now we have cars and a man in his car is kind of like the man in his horse of years ago. And we're definitely, we love these things. I love my truck. I mean, you know. Yeah, you are a toy guy. Yeah, you are. You're a gadget guy. I love gadgets. You even have Alexa in your house. Yeah, I do, but we always have it unplugged unless we wanna listen to the music. So we're paranoid about that. I told you guys, I mean, I told you about that time that we were debating kitchen remodeling. And I mean, I don't have Alexa. I mean, I'm like super, I would... Well, you were on Facebook or something. I spent $1,500 repairing my refrigerator because I don't wanna have to buy a new one that has all the spyware in it, okay? Because we have the built-in, it would have been... Yeah, but I'm sitting there, we're talking about the kitchen. And I'm saying, oh, I'd rather take a trip and everyone who knows me knows I'd rather take a trip than renovate my kitchen. I'm just terrible. Okay, so we're sitting there talking and all of a sudden I get all these videos saying, here, visit us for a remodeled kitchen. And here, try here for neat cabinets. We do kitchen. It was amazing how the ads were targeted. They heard us verbally, they're listening. Now, someone goes, oh, there's not people sitting around. It's AI, it's artificial intelligence that recognizes the voices. Apple did a study and they had people listening to the commands and what people were actually saying and to parse out the ones that were interesting that aren't so, yeah. The ones that they can sell to their marketers. Right. Or to their advertisers. Exactly, so, I mean, both goes on. I mean, yes, it is kind of ambient catching, but they have identified the certain words and certain phrases and... It's funny. That's what they do. All right, let's go, how does this work? We're getting back to these bedsheets, okay? Here's another biohacking thing for those of you guys that have to have the latest and greatest. What's the fastest thing in the universe? It's light and the fastest way to recover, it's also through light. That's why you see so many athletes using red light therapy, et cetera. And infrared light, to be exact, because it says underarmor developed in advanced sleep system that helps your body rebuild itself through faster muscle recovery while you rest, okay? And as we said, the print on the inside of the recovery sheet, and I'm gonna show you, I don't know if you guys can see it. It has a compare. You actually see tiny little threadings, mineral rich threads in the sheets, embedded in the sheets. And that's what gives off the far infrared light. Actually what it's doing is reflecting your body's heat back to you. Well, now we also have sheets that have EMF protection embedded in them now. So the question is, which one do you want? Maybe for one and one on top of the other. We'll have to ask one of our experts on that. How many sheets do you have? You know, so if you wanna really biohack your workout recovery, maybe you need to buy one of these underarmor sheets. Yeah, so the sheet two-way stretch construction provides just the amount of flexibility for perfect comfort. The recovery sheet set comes with a mattress grip silicone band on the fitted sheet for a one-of-a-kind non-slip fit. No snag stretch, a top-bottom indicator tab on the fitted sheet for zero hassle and concealed zipper enclosure on the pillowcases for the perfect fit. How about that for a commercial one? Right. Underarmor doesn't measure thread count for their sheets because it doesn't work with their advanced technology. Instead, they take the premium fabrics used to make high thread count sheets and engineer them in a mesh of greater breathability. This way you get more intense ventilation from a unique constructed, high quality material that can't be compared to standard thread counts. Well, there you go. So it might be worth giving it a try. So get rid of your Egyptian cotton sheets. I don't know, those are pretty comfortable. You know what, I love finishing up our show with some of these little things that have a little, you know, what they can remember. So let's go to this section on lemons, evidence-based health benefits. You know, when we talk about biohacking, getting all this technology, sometimes we wanna come back to what can we do really simple that gives us a big bang for our buck. And there is nothing better than the lovely lemon in terms of helping us. We're talking about flavor, how salt, you know, is used to enhance any flavor, whether it be sweet or sour. And we know that the lemon is tart and that's kind of a delicious flavor for us. But really, did we realize that science, there's powerful medicine in the lemon. And in all flavors, Ayurvedic medicine has taught us that it's the key five flavors, salty, spicy, bitter, sweet and sour, that really are key to health. And the lime too, I would think, be in this category. In fact, I'm more drawn to the lime than the lemon and I'm not sure why. But I remember in the old days, back in the nineties, when my dad was still alive, I would go over to his house on Sunday afternoon and he would make these great rum and lime. He had a lemon lime tree. I love limeade, yeah. Yeah, he had a lemon lime tree. It was half and half, each fruit. Oh, how cool is that? It was very cool. Oh, yeah. He would squeeze that and then he'd get some really nice rum to it and we'd have a daiquiri. And it was always fond memories of my father and I sipping daiquiris on Sunday afternoon. For sure. So, and that comes to mind that alcohol too was used as an elixir, as medicine. Oh, I told you I'm gonna bring that book when it shows. Oh, okay. You know, drink yourself to health. Yes, I mean, but it's about alcoholic beverages that are actually good for our health. So, we'll come back and give you some tips on lemon's evidence-based healing properties revealed in the next segment. So, we'll be right back.

And welcome back, and just like salt has many good qualities to it, so does lemon and something that our ancestors used. I love the lemon. So here's some of the evidence-based healing properties that lemons have. Number one, it can lower your blood pressure and simply by smelling this fruit that has been found to lower blood pressure. That's correct. It is actually the essential oil of bergamot, actually, that is used as a blood pressure lower. And it can lessen constipation. Who knew? In combination with rosemary and peppermint essential oil, the smell of lemon has been found to relieve constipation in the elderly. Yeah, it also can remedy bad breath in combination with tea tree and peppermint essential oils. Yeah, very, very interesting. It can reduce esophageal, geocancellar risk. Lemon, like all citrus fruits, contain physiologically significant levels of flavoynes. And flavoyne intake has been found to be inversely associated with cancer. And also it was good for oral yeast infections like Candida, HIV, AIDS, even. Wow. Can help with that. Can help to dissolve kidney stones. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's interesting. Well, again, because it's acidic. Yeah, right, right. It can reduce inflammation, and that's a really important thing. Anything that can take away inflammation is... And the lemon is a heart protector. And we know that anytime you have antioxidants and the power of vitamin C, many people believe that the cardiovascular tree is cleansed and protected through vitamin C. Yeah, it can also protect against cholera, the pathogen that causes cholera is reduced. And the other thing I like people to realize is that having that lemon a day is probably a great way to protect the oxidation of your cholesterol. Remember, cholesterol is not the bad guy. And the LDL is not the lousy cholesterol. You want LDL. You need your hormone shuffled. Especially the big puffy ones. Yeah, you just want to say puffy. And you do that by having a little squeeze of lemon. So you know that idea of why you're having your coffee. And I have to remember to do this sometimes, because I really just want to have my coffee in the morning. Is to make a lemon juice shot. And you can put different things in it, but at least get the lemon in the water. Yeah, also can lift your mood and reduce anxiety. And that was also a bergamot. Bergamot essential oil is used to lift the spirit. And the last thing is it can help you maintain an ideal weight. Excuse me, weight. Yep, and help prevent insulin resistance. I guess that's our show, guys. Yeah, well, thanks a lot for sticking around. We'll see you next time. Have a wonderful day and stay healthy. Pick up some Brian Lodge and give my newsletter, please. See ya.
