The Hidden Danger of Summer Hydration: Mineral Loss

Please very important. Take the time to read this.

When patients/people think they are staying safe in the heat while working outdoors. The standard advice is always "drink lots of water." However, the hidden danger with that advice is we have a serious issue in this country with lack of minerals. Especially Magnesium. Though every mineral is critical for both homeostasis and general health.
Our foods no longer have the macro and micro minerals needed to support vibrance and health. Now adding heavy fluid consumption while helpful with dehydration also causes significant depletion of the minerals which most of us are already low on.
This can cause a significant medical issue. Not simply cramping.
Drexel Spine does not sell supplements. I'm here to keep my patients healthy.
Please get on your Amazon account, put in Multi Minerals (add 3rd party tested) Order as soon as possible. It was over 100 degrees yesterday and will be just as bad over the next few days. Add with the multimineral a separate order of Magnesium Glycinate 500MG, best taken before bed.

This health advice is becoming critical. Magnesium levels in 50% of Americans are way too low. If you work outside get on your Amazon account today. If you work inside our foods simply do not have the nutritional value they have had in the past. Please consider a multimineral supplement with a separate magnesium glycinate which is taken before bed.

If anyone has any questions I check in to this page at least once a week. This issue is becoming one of the most important health issues that has a simple fix.
Remember! Drinking water in this heat will prevent dehydration and add to your mineral loss.

Chronic Low Back Pain.
Many people spend hours every day sitting in chairs, recliners, or couches that allow the pelvis to roll backward. When this happens. The natural lumbar curve flattens. Increased stress on spinal discs. Core muscles become less active. Ligaments and supporting soft tissue are stretched for prolonged periods.
Avoid sinking into a couch. Sit with your Glutes slightly higher than your knees.
This one simple change can significantly reduce chronic localized lower back pain.
