Safe, Effective Decongestants

[Dr. Oz And Dr. Roizen] Safe, Effective Decongestants By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that from 2010-2023, American adults contended with up to 41 million cases of the flu annually. And that’s overshadowed by the 1 billion colds that people suffer every year. No wonder Americans are dedicated to taking over-the-counter congestion fighters. But it turns out some of them have a “decongestant” ingredient that actually doesn’t work, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing it be banned in products such as Sudafed PE and Benadryl Allergy Plus Congestion. Special: [Stop Eating Oatmeal and Quinoa]( The ingredient is called phenylephrine. You do not want to confuse it with pseudoephedrine, which is an effective decongestant. However, that isn’t recommended for anyone with heart disease or high blood pressure, and that’s millions of people. What are your safe, effective alternatives? You can open your nasal passages using heart-safe antihistamines (ask your doctor for a recommendation), some nasal sprays (for use short-term only), steamy showers, essential oils such as rosemary rubbed on your chest, and even chicken soup. Elderberry can significantly reduce the severity of colds and shorten their duration — and it helps control flu symptoms. The suggested dose is 600-900 mg per day. Zinc acetate lozenges were found to be effective in both a 2016 study that appeared in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and a 2017 study in the journal of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. But do not take zinc continually; too much can become toxic. --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL You've been told over and over in the media that foods like oatmeal and quinoa are good for you, and you should eat lots of them. But what most people don't realize is that these two particular foods contain compounds that can actually harm your health and your digestion in many ways... And as your favorite Nutritionists, we'll explain why in this quick email, so you can avoid further harming your health and digestion with these so-called "healthy" foods... 1. Oatmeal and Oat Milk While oatmeal is touted as a healthy carb and a source of fiber, unfortunately there are more cons than pros with this food... The first problem with oats is that they are loaded with a compound called phytic acid (phytates) that significantly lowers your absorption of certain minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. So whenever you eat oats, the phytic acid causes you to absorb less of these vitally important minerals which could cause health problems if you eat oats too frequently, since most people already don't get enough minerals like magnesium and zinc. The second problem with oats is that they contain one of the highest residue concentrations of the toxic herbicide glyphosate, which can damage your gut, and have been linked to other health problems like cancer, hormone issues, and more. The next major problem with oats is that they are a significant source of mycotoxins in the diet, which are mold based toxins that can cause an array of gut problems, hormone problems and more. Lastly, oats can also contain high levels of the toxic heavy metal Cadmium, which is linked to health problems as this toxic heavy metal accumulates in your body. 2. Quinoa Quinoa is another food that is pitched as a health food or a "superfood". Unfortunately, this is another example of a food that has more downsides than good sides. First off, quinoa is high in compounds called saponins, that have been shown in some studies to cause gut damage and contribute to "leaky gut". Another problematic compound in quinoa are lectins, which are a type of antinutrient that can damage the cells of your intestines, and contribute to several gut disorders and immune system problems. Many friends and colleagues of ours have reported feeling abdominal pain after eating quinoa, bloating, and loose stools or diarrhea, as well as triggering of autoimmune conditions such as skin conditions. Now that we've talked about why we should avoid oatmeal and quinoa if we want to avoid many of these health issues, let's look below at a unique way to HEAL your gut, get rid of gas and bloating, increase energy, and lose fat easier... Bananas vs oranges vs apples... (the #1 WORST fruit for your gut & energy) According to the best-selling author and world-renowned heart surgeon, Dr. Steven Gundry, there’s one fruit people over 40 should never eat. This fruit can damage your gut and disrupt your hormones. Both sapping you of energy and forcing your body to create “sticky” fat cells that can NOT be “burned off” with normal diet and exercise. Do you know the fruit we’re talking about? Make sure you do by clicking the one below you think it is, and get the answer from Dr. Gundry himself on the next page: [>> Bananas >> Oranges >> Apples >> Grapes]( --------------------------------------------------------------- About the Doctors: Dr. Mike Roizen is chief wellness officer emeritus at Cleveland Clinic and Dr. Mehmet Oz is professor emeritus at Columbia University.
