Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that optimal vitamin E intake has now been linked to reduced risk of Parkinson's disease?

According to a first-of-its-kind study from Frontiers in Nutrition, optimal vitamin E from food and/or mixed tocopherol supplement can lower the levels of oxygen-derived free radicals in brain tissue and regulate glutamate neurotoxicity to protect the brain, thus reducing risk of Parkinson's.

Vitamin E is unique among antioxidants as it is the only one that prevents lipid oxidation, a form of inflammation. This is why you may have noticed fat and oil food manufacturers add small amounts of tocopherol (vitamin E).

Legislative Note For Illinoisans Only:

We ask that you support Senate Bill 2637, which would eliminate 5 harmful additives from our food supply: brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, Red Dye No. 3 and titanium dioxide. The European Union and the state of California have already passed similar legislation.

Steve: Occasionally, clients will tell me that although they drink a substantial amount of water, they still feel dehydrated.

The biggest reason is electrolyte imbalance. Water isn’t the only thing you need for proper hydration. You also need electrolytes like sodium, magnesium, and potassium. Drinking too much water can dilute electrolytes.

Additionally, if you’re someone who only drinks distilled water or has a reverse osmosis water filter, you won’t get those electrolytes.

Moreover, if you consume too much of one electrolyte and not enough of another (i.e. sodium-potassium), this can cause electrolyte imbalance.

Finally, not getting enough magnesium is common issue worldwide.

Getting enough electrolytes becomes even more important if you are someone who sweats a lot. Not only do you lose water in sweat, but electrolytes as well.

Please remember that you don't have to overdo it with water if you also consume your optimal servings of fruit and vegetables. Not only do they contain electrolytes, but hold a large amount of fluid.
