- 2 super-nutrients protect against sunburn
After being stuck inside all winter, you’re probably chomping at the bit to start having some summertime fun. Barbeques, pool parties and days at the beach are all in order.
Now, down here in South Florida where my clinic is, it’s pretty much summer all year round. So I’ve seen it all when it comes to patients who forget to take appropriate precautions on sizzling-hot days.
They come into my office with sunburn or sun poisoning.
They’re often dehydrated, and every now and then I’ll get a patient who has a hefty dose of food poisoning after a cookout.
Well, these types of events can really take the fun out of your summer. So today I’d like to share a few tips on how you can make the most of those hot and sunny days.
First off, let’s talk about those family cookouts, company picnics and poolside barbecues.
Open your arteries, improve blood flow for a new health miracle...
Did you know your circulatory system has over 60,000 miles of arteries, veins and other blood vessels, if stretched end to end?
But as you age, your blood vessels undergo changes, which may cause them to stiffen, thicken and get clogged.
GOOD NEWS! Doctors have now identified a “Miracle Molecule” inside your arteries that helps OPEN your arteries and IMPROVE blood flow.
It’s what Dr. Valentin Fuster calls it, "One of the most important discoveries in the history of cardiovascular medicine."To you, that means...
- Healthy blood pressure
- Sharper mind and memory
- Skyrocketing energy and muscular strength
- Increased pleasure and passion in the bedroom
- Improved circulation to every cell and organ in your body
Go here to discover a new natural way to significantly boost the levels of this miracle molecule in YOUR body NOW!
It’s important that your raw meat doesn’t come in contact with other foods that are already prepared.
You see, most supermarket meats contain the superbug versions of salmonella and campylobacter. Together, these cause about 3.6 million cases of food poisoning each year. And poultry is often tainted with an antibiotic-resistant form of E. coli.
But, we usually kill off those bugs in cooking.
When cooking out – you want to get your meats on the grill as soon as possible and slowly cook it to just the right temperature.
If you cook meat too fast or at too high heat, it can release cancer-causing compounds. If you don’t cook it enough, well… that’s just asking for a case of food poisoning.
On the other hand, you can avoid this problem altogether by changing things up. Turn your cookout into a “fish-fest.”
Cooking fish and shellfish doesn’t take nearly as much time as red meat and poultry. And you can grill them up at a much lower heat. As a result, grilling them produces fewer cancer-causing chemicals.
The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery
This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.
The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.
In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.
Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.
Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.

Or, go for grilled shish-ka-bobs. When you cut your meats into smaller chunks they cook much faster. So you can quickly get it to the right temperature, with less risk of chemicals being released.
Now, what are you going to do about protecting your skin while you’re out having fun?
You may think you’ve got it covered with your SPF 50 sunscreen.
And sure, that lotion will stop you from getting a burn. But the chemicals in sunscreens are often more dangerous than the sun itself. Some of these compounds are estrogen mimics. Others damage your DNA. And some of them even become carcinogenic when the sunlight hits them.
Plus, sunscreens almost completely block your body’s ability to produce vitamin D. That’s a crime, because vitamin D helps protect your body from cancer – including skin cancer!
That’s why I like the idea of boosting your sun protection with “sunscreen in a pill.” And there are two that you can easily pick up at your local vitamin store:
Astaxanthin is one of today’s biggest breakthroughs in antioxidant nutrition. A particular type of microalgae (Haematoccous pluvialis) produces it to protect itself from sun exposure. It can help protect you from the sun, too.
Just 4 mg. daily for two weeks can help you withstand longer UV exposure without burning. It actually works by protecting your skin against DNA damage caused by the radiation. It’s like an internal sunscreen.
It takes awhile for the astaxanthin pigment to build up in your system. So start taking it daily at least two weeks before spending time in the sun.
GliSODin is another supplement that helps it take longer for UV exposure to burn your skin. It can reduce sunburn by about 20% and decrease redness much more rapidly if you do get a burn. This means a lower chance of sunburn to start with, and quicker recovery time when you do get one.
For best results, take 500 mg. of GliSODin for four weeks before sun exposure.
It’s also smart to wear a hat and sunglasses, and move into the shade or under an umbrella during the hottest part of the day.
And, if you’re frolicking in the sun for long periods of time, make sure you find a natural sunscreen – made with zinc oxide.
Oh, and just one more thing…be aware that excess alcohol intake on a hot summer day can dehydrate you. So sure, have a drink or two. But keep it in moderation. If you’re a woman, that’s one drink a day. For men, it’s two.
But don’t “supersize” it. A drink is a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine or 1.5 ounces of liquor (either straight or in a mixed drink).
