The Minerals That Neutralize Viruses (While Being Harmless To Humans)

Happy weekend 👋 

It is February! The new month! Are you excited? We are! It’s the perfect time for starting new habits—so says the science; it’s about “trimming the middle” (no, not one’s waistline, though that too if you want, but rather: we are more motivated towards the beginnings and ends of things, so it is good to minimize the middle of things by paying extra attention to regular beginnings and ends, in order to renew our motivation), and “the fresh start effect”.

In today’s email we cover minerals that neutralize viruses, doing squats with bad knees, and wholeheartedly good health.

Are you hoping for better general health this year? Hydration is critical to all aspects of health, and today’s sponsor NativePath is offering their low-sodium, no-sugar, electrolyte blend with vitamins and amino acids with 44% off and a free gift—check it out!

One-Minute Book Review

The Whole Heart Solution: Halt Heart Disease Now with the Best Alternative and Traditional Medicine – by Dr. Joel Kahn

If there’s a single central focus here is on the evidence for including a lot of plants in our diet, and in particular, certain ones that are particularly impactful (positively) for our health. However, it’s not all about diet; Dr. Kahn also discusses (as the subtitle suggests) making the most of every safe, useful tool available for us for good heart health. Including, where appropriate, drugs and surgery, but definitely with a preference to avoid their necessity with lifestyle adjustments and regular pre-emptive testing of various kinds.

Indeed, the promised “75 low-cost things you can do right away” are mostly lifestyle adjustments, and as well as the dietary tips, they include non-dietary things such as opening your windows and walking barefoot, for example—we’ll learn tips relating to all areas of life, in fact.

An interesting note on diet, though: he also talks about how all requests for reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid services are evaluated with regard to whether they are appropriate, and of all the programs for intensive cardiac rehabilitation that have been requested, only two have been approved (at time of going to press, at least). Both are plan-based programs, of which, one is the dietary approach described in this book. Bearing in mind that Medicare and Medicate have a mandate to save money, they will only approve a program that results in costing them less in hospital care and prescriptions. Which means that their interests are aligned with yours, in this case!

The style is enthusiastic pop science, that is to say, it is written with extreme conviction—there is plenty of science cited to back it up, of course, but certainly this is not an indifferent book.

Bottom line: if you’d like to improve your heart health, this book is a top-tier one-stop solution (if you implement its contents, anyway!)
