How your daily gut busting routine may actually be preventing

Ever since the 1970’s when folks like Jim Fix with his jogging book and of course fitness icon Richard

Simmons began to

get the world onto the fitness band wagon, a lot of information has come through

our TV’s about how to lose weight and get healthy.

Unfortunately, much of it is inaccurate, misunderstood or even dangerous over time. The weight loss

industry generates som

ething over $70 billion in the U.S. alone... it’s big business and

these companies

and personalities know how to tap into our psyches and tickle those nerves that make us want to try

their pills, foods, workouts and vibrating belts that melt the fat while yo

u veg out in front of the tube.

Food has always been one of these areas that’s

capitalized

on the last 40+ years of America

’s

and other

nations’ weight loss craze. First it was reduced fat and fat free! Sounds great, right? Yeah, except that

when they

take the fat out of your favorite cookies, they simply replace it with more sugar... hmm,

doesn’t sound so great, does it?

In the early 2000’s, if you recall, carbs became fitness public enemy #1. All of a sudden, people who a

year before barely even knew

what carbohydrates were began to go on no carb diets. Then it was

gluten

. Again, before 2010 or so, most folks never even heard of this thing... and now, it seems like

every food has a

gluten

-

free substitute and half of all living human

s

are allergic to it

.

Weird, right?

But you know what one of the most attacked food items has always been, even before the 70’s

–

salt!

Yes, good old sodium chloride is the arbiter of all that’s evil in the world. Salt raises your cholesterol...

oh, no that’s actually not t

rue... salt is a key ingredient in weight gain... oh, that’s false too...

The truth is, in fact, that salt is absolutely

vital

to your body’s health. It’s needed in

the

bio

-

chemistry of

your cells. Yet even more obvious is that when you cut salt out of your d

iet, you actually inhibit your

body’s ability to

digest

food! And of course, that means putting on more weight and also limiting the

amount of nutrients you can

absorb

.

Salt helps your body balance and optimize the PH level in your stomach. In other wor

ds, it helps make

sure that your stomach acid is strong enough to break down the food you eat so that the nutrients in it

can more effectively be absorbed as it passes through your digestive tract.

Salt is actually one incredibly important element in any good weight loss program. Like many people, I

thought differently until running into a Korean medical student in

Afghanistan

who open

ed

my eyes to a

whole new

–

yet ironically ancient

–

way of look

ing at health, fitness and weight loss. He showed me

the science behind what eastern cultures have known for

millennia

.

If you’re looking to lose weight, or you’ve ever been frustrated by your lack of progress... some of the

latest science may shock you as

to why. There are myths about weight loss that we’ve been fed for far

too long and yet the scientifically proven and tested truth has simply been lying in the grass waiting to

be uncovered
