Dear Reader,
When the weather turns warm and it is only natural to step out into the
sunshine and soak up the soothing rays. A certain amount of sunshine is
good for us because it triggers a biochemical process in the body that
leads to the production of Vitamin D. Too much sun, however, can lead
to serious discomfort and permanent damage to the skin.

Unfortunately, the commercial sunscreens on the market that are meant
to protect us are loaded with toxic chemicals. To avoid exposing
yourself and your family to these chemicals, choose natural sunscreen
products. Mango butter, aloe vera gel, emu, coconut and sesame oils are
all effective in preventing sunburn when used properly. Look for
natural alternatives to chemical sunscreens.
In addition to sunscreen there are some common sense measures that will
go a long way toward sunburn prevention. Avoid being outdoors in
direct sun when the sun is strongest, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. If
you can’t avoid being outdoors during the hottest part of the day, seek
shade. (Bear in mind that invisible rays can reflect up toward you from
the ground so you will still need to use some skin protection.) Be
especially careful if it is windy. Balmy breezes may disguise the fact
that you are getting sunburned. Wide brimmed or floppy hats will help
prevent sunburn on sensitive facial and neck areas.
If despite your best intentions you do get sunburned, use natural
substances to relieve the pain. Dampen a washcloth with cool water and
apply it to the area, or take a cool bath or shower. Adding some baking
soda to your bathwater can help to soothe your skin. Pure aloe gel is
also very soothing to sunburned skin. The fresher the gel, the better
it works. You can even use a real aloe plant. Cut off a spear, split it
open, and rub the clear gel from the inside of the leaf on the sunburn.
You can also mix 10 ounces of non-fat dry milk, 2 tablespoons salt and
25 ounces water. Saturate a cloth with the mixture and apply to sunburn
for 20 minutes. Drink plenty of water. Sunburn can be dehydrating,
causing fluid loss through your skin.
Leave blisters alone, if they form. The fluid inside acts as a
protective agent for your skin. Breaking the blisters will slow
healing and increase the risk of infection.
In recent years, some people have become irrationally afraid of the sun
because of dire warnings in the media. Don’t let the fear of getting
sunburned keep you from benefiting from Mother Nature’s healing rays.
Mentally and physically, everyone needs some sunshine in their lives!
Yours in good health,

Fix Your Digestion and Fix Your Health
Your colon is a battlefield filled with “friendly” and “unfriendly”
bacteria. The friendly bacteria (also known as probiotics) help you to
assimilate nutrients. They also prevent the attachment of “unfriendly”
microflora, which can dilute the strength of your immune system.
A wide range of both traditional and alternative health professionals
now agree that a continually replenished stronghold of “friendly”
bacteria is essential for a robust and worry-free digestive system.
Unfortunately, levels of “friendly” bacteria rapidly decline with age.
Like no other probiotic formula on the market, VIBRANT FLORA 15/20™
replenishes your colon with the vital microflora to counteract toxic
pathogens that threaten your immune system and your colon’s equilibrium.
