Complete Whole Body Health Starts in the Mouth

The mouth is the gateway to the rest of the interconnected human body. Through this portal, we will see that at the pinnacle of health is oral health. This is because the mouth is the perfect mirror and reflector of what is happening internally in the human body. The most prevalent chronic human diseases experienced globally are found in the mouth. Diseases like cavities and gum diseases carry major economic and serious health burdens.

As a physician of the mouth I often times see the first signs of these downstream issues. Other chronic diseases are caused or exacerbated by pathogenic oral bacteria. What’s healthy for your teeth is healthy for the rest of the body. One of the best decisions you can make for your life is filtering your lifestyle decisions through the lens that Complete Whole Body Health starts in the mouth.

Does Erythritol, a popular sugar substitute found

Though Gatorade Zero is marketed as “sugar-free”, it unfortunately contains artificial sweeteners as well as food coloring. There’s no need to consume these ingredients when we have much healthier alternatives like Redmond Re-Lyte. Athletes in particular are constantly hearing that they need electrolytes, though true, these electrolytes need to come from better sources! Swipe to see the studies showing the poor oral health (which is indicative of overall health) of olympic athletes. Though from an outside appearance these individuals may be considered some of the “healthiest” humans on the planet, these drinks are clearly playing a negative role on their overall health and wellbeing.

In comparison to Gatorade, Redmond Re-Lyte provides high-quality electrolytes without the use of added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or food coloring!

The quality of the electrolytes in Re-Lyte comes from the natural ingredients that are used in the product, such as sea salt and mineral-rich Redmond Real Salt. These ingredients contain a wide range of minerals, including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which are important electrolytes that help regulate fluid balance in the body.

Re-Lyte is formulated to contain the proper balance of electrolytes that the body needs to function optimally. This means that it contains the electrolytes in the right proportions, which can help ensure that the body is able to absorb and use them effectively.

Again, Re-Lyte does not contain added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or food coloring. This is important because many sports drinks and electrolyte products on the market contain these additives, which can have negative health effects. For example, added sugar can contribute to weight gain and other health problems, while artificial sweeteners have been linked to a range of health issues, including diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Food coloring may also cause allergic reactions in some people.

Food is Medicine

Food is medicine. It always has been. But, we now have a more sophisticated, mechanistic understanding of the science backing this claim. Instead of solely understanding the pharmacology of pharmaceutical agents, we understand how nutraceuticals (natural agents) are potent medicaments.
