The PH matters because if parasites are allowed to run rampant throughout your body, your immune system will become depressed and prevent its natural healing.

Your body has a natural PH at the intracellular level of around 7.4.  At this level and between 7.2 and 7.4, parasites cannot live; therefore, you can see why a slightly alkaline environment is so beneficial.

Refined sugars and starches make up a large part of the Western diet, creating candida.  Candida is a natural yeast and is usually kept in control by friendly intestinal flora.  However, if you consume too many sugars or starches, this candida overtakes the friendly bacteria in the intestines leaving a hospitable environment for the growth of parasites.

Antibiotic overuse is another problem and can kill off friendly gut bacteria causing the overgrowth of candida.  Symptoms include sugar cravings, chronic yeast infections, fatigue, dry skin, acne and sinus infections.

Parasites destroy cells faster than they can be regenerated and produce substances as a byproduct of their digestion.  These toxic substances can cause you to develop food allergies, irritation of the intestinal linings and skin problems.

PH strips for checking saliva and urine can be purchased in pharmacies and in most health food stores.  Usually the best time to take your PH is first thing in the morning.

By turning to a mostly alkaline diet of vegetables and a few fruits, you’ll be rewarded with more energy and  reverse the acidification process, making your body an inhospitable place for parasites.  There’s no place for parasites in your anti-aging program, so ditch the sugar and load up on veggies to raise your PH to alkaline.

At first meditation was used by religious priests, for a while now even ordinary people have been employing meditation as a way to discover the several benefits that meditation offers.

Meditation isn’t hard in fact what it is really is the simple practice of concentrating and the intense focus on sounds, objects, ideas, breathing, action or even movement that will allow you to intensify perception, cut down on stress, enhance your relaxation, and gain a personal and spiritual growth.

When meditation was first out it originally was only practiced along with some sort of religious traditions to build your spiritual belief higher, but now it is used by several people to help relieve different stresses and pains.

Western medical practitioners are realizing that meditation has help people to cope with different health issues, so they are beginning to promote it to their patients more and more. In fact they have begun to use it along with medicines to help and relieve aches and pains for several people.

It is interesting to note that medical clinics and hospitals across the nation have been offering the practice of meditation as a possible method for patients to improve their health. Meditation is currently employed as a method for treatment of some diseases, as an additional therapeutic process for a comprehensive treatment program and as a means of improving the quality of life of people with chronic, debilitating, or incurable illnesses.

Current health care application of meditation focuses on three particular approaches: transcendental meditation, relaxation response meditation and mindfulness meditation (also referred to as mindfulness-based stress reduction).

The practice of meditation brings to bear on the seven major chakras (which correspond to the body’s major endocrine glands) the power of the environment and the universe.

If you would practice meditation for at least 30 minutes a day it will contribute to your balanced and harmonious interdependent functions of the major chakras with one another.

You will notice the energy flowing from the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and finally the crown chakras while meditating. Your whole body’s biological, emotional, and spiritual aspects become more nourished and balance the body cleansing physical, emotional and spiritual toxins.

Since chakra meditation requires deep concentration the uninterrupted flow of energy into the body also gives a boost to the major chakras (and their corresponding endocrine counterparts).

A neat way to look at it is a turbocharger for your body, or even a catalytic converter that will gather outside energy and harness it and channel it out to the different parts of the body and the chakras.

And since your chakras are such a huge part of your body’s physical and metaphysical makeup, with fine tuning of these items our daily lives are affected either directly or indirectly, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and even spiritually.

There a different ways that people practice chakra meditation, but no matter what way they use the may step is to be able to concentrate and allow the focus to spread throughout your body.

You will not notice an immediate change from practicing chakra meditation, but more of a gradually change that will slowly take over your thoughts to give you a more positive outlook on life. Meditation is believed to help a person live a better life and be happier both physically and emotionally.

The most notable effect of chakra meditation is that a person’s ability to concentrate and awareness are greatly enhanced even only after a week. Imagine if you are performing chakra meditation for years!

Commonly reported benefits of chakra meditation are heightened creativity, enhanced resourcefulness due to better perception of events, objects and the general surrounding of an individual in general. It is also proven that regular meditation helps people improve their sleep patterns and benefit from deep sleep. The advantages of deep sleep can not be understated since it helps to improve a person’s overall health, restores the body’s energy stock and makes you feel stronger.

Daily chakra meditation will also decrease stress in your life, from work, family, and inter-personal relationships. This is because you are more able to control your emotions because you have more patience. Also with less stress in your life, health problems will not be so prevalent in your life.

Generally, overall health and well-being is greatly improved when meditation becomes a part of your daily routine. It helps to lower blood pressure which in turn can help prevent strokes and heart disease. It can also help reduce the effect of stress on people who suffer from chronic illnesses.

Even if you only practice meditation for half an hour daily you will be surprised on how much it will help to reduce your stress, improve your health, and just in general make your days better, and more productive.

As you get older, you don’t have that extra layer of padding that helped the younger you avoid such calamities. You may not even remember hitting that chair or corner, but now you have bleeding under the skin, better know as a bruise.

For the most part, bruises are caused by different kinds of trauma, but one or all of several things may be the culprit.

1) If easy bruising “runs in your family”, chances are you’ll be more susceptible.

2) A particular vitamin deficiency such as B12, K, C or folic acid can also be the answer. Eating more vegetables high in bioflavonoids will help, as well as fruits such as strawberries.

3) Certain medications can increase the risk of bruising, particularly medications that alter the activity of platelets or any components that play a role in blood clotting. These include anti-inflammatory meds or blood thinners such as warfarin, prednisone and even aspirin.

4) Some supplements such as garlic, ginger, gingko and fish oils can cause aging, tissue-like skin to be more susceptible to damage.

In the more extreme consideration, bruising can be a first sign of lupus, leukemia, even cirrhosis of the liver, so ask your doctor or naturopath for an opinion if you even think there might be such an issue. After all, living younger longer requires a little work so pay attention to your body.

Healthy skin has a smooth, silky appearance and it’s sole purpose is to protect our body from sickness and infection. Youthful skin tone is also a sign of health and is something everyone notices when we’re looking at each other. Anti aging skincare is designed to help re-energize skin and give it back the elasticity that time often takes away as we age.

Of course it would be so much easier if we could all just sit back and never worry about how we look, but for most of us looking good means feeling good — the two go hand in hand. When researching which anti aging skincare treatment you wish to use: Make sure it contains a good dose of antioxidants to help oxygenate your skin cells, Retinol A to accelerate healing, and a good moisturizer to prevent dry skin.

Why Me?

A lot of people wonder why their skin has succumbed to age, when their neighbor of the same age looks ten years younger. This can be for a number of reasons.

1) Your lifestyle choices may have accelerated the aging of your skin. E.g., tobacco use, certain prescription medications, not drinking enough water, over-exposure to the sun or tanning beds, poor diet, excess alcohol consumption — will all cause your skin (and body) to age faster than what is genetically predetermined.

2) Your neighbors may possibly be using anti aging skincare themselves. We all have our private beauty secrets, that we would never tell anyone about. Some people prefer to pretend their look is 100% natural, while secretly they have an entire treasure chest of products at home, to keep them looking their best.

It’s Never Too Late

It’s never too late to get started with anti aging skincare treatments. At the same time, it’s never too early either. If you’re over 30 years old, start using a good product now, to prevent wrinkles and fine lines. If you already have a few signs of aging on your face, make sure your lifestyle choices aren’t hurting your skin and find a quality anti aging product to stop nature in its tracks.

We all know the importance of using a sunscreen daily – even on a cloudy day and during the winter – to protect our skin against aging and cancer too. But, there is new research is suggesting that maybe our sunscreens may not be so good for our skin and may cause cancer!

How do sunscreens work? Well a sunscreen contains certain chemicals that are supposed to block the UVA and UVB rays of the sun. UVA rays are the rays that cause wrinkles and premature aging. And UVB rays are the ones responsible for sun burns.

Sunscreens – not sun block – function through creating a chemical barrier between the UVA and UVB ray and our skin. Sunscreens are labeled with an SPF rating which means sun protection levels. Of course, the higher the SPF the higher the level of protection.

This does not mean a higher level of SPF (like 30) is two times as strong as an SPF of 15. A sunscreen with an SPF of 30 just means you can stay out in the sun a little longer than an SPF of 15. An SPF of 15 will block about 93% of the suns UV rays, while an SPF 30 will only block 97% — not much different is it? Which is why it’s still important to avoid the sun during the hottest part of the day and keep covered whenever possible. A higher SPF also means more chemicals used and that may not be a good thing according to some recent studies.

There is some new research that suggests that certain chemicals found in sunscreens might not be so good for us. Some chemicals may affect our hormone levels (such changing estrogen levels within the body) and others may have significant impact on our DNA levels.

In addition, researchers propose that certain chemicals present in our sunscreen may not protect us from sun damage at all. And worst of all they believe that some might even trigger certain kinds of skin cancer. Scientists have identified 5 chemicals they suspect may be a problem and down right unsafe for us to use.

Omega 3, the fatty acids found in cold water fishes like salmon have lots benefits, including alleviating depression, preventing age-related blindness and a host of other benefits. But did you know that omega-3 has anti-aging effects as well?

Aging is caused by telomeres, the structures at the end of chromosomes. They mark biological aging. Genetic factors such as exposure to certain chemicals, environmental stresses are believed to contribute to the aging process. Now research published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that omega 3 also slows down the shortening of telomeres.

Past studies have shown that people with established cardiovascular disease who have high dietary intake of marine omega 3 fatty acids live longer who have the same health problems but do not have adequate omega 3 in their diet. As for anti-aging effects, a group of scientists studied if omega 3 fatty acids were linked to changes in leukocyte telomere length. The scientist studies the patients for about 5 years. There was an association between baseline levels of two types of omega 3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, in the patients’ bodies and there was a subsequent change in telomere length.

Their research also showed that the subjects with the least amount of DHA and EPA experienced the most rapid rate of telomere shortening. However, those with the highest levels of the omega-3 fatty acids experienced the slowest rate of telomere shortening – meaning, those with high levels of omega 3 fatty acids had greater anti-aging components in their system.

This raises hope for those who are seeking anti-aging treatments – natural anti-aging treatments at that. The abundance of omega 3 in the diet could offer cellular anti-aging protection for all people, whether they have a heart disease or not.

All the best to your beauty efforts!

Don’t buy into that and keep the money in your pocket.  You can tone areas by exercise, but spot reducing?  No.  Let’s explore a few reasons why this is true.

Diet is an important element.  Fats that you eat can be the main culprit for the presence of those problem areas.  Sweets, fatty and junk foods add bad fats and add to those love handles.

When you see ads that you can apply some cream to your little rolls around the middle, it’s a myth.  Several things apply to this problem:  genetics, diet and lifestyle.

Reducing bad fat intake, moderate exercising and keeping insulin levels steady by eating several times a day will give your body what it needs to develop that desirable state.

Dedication to your health and body shape is a lifestyle commitment.  Even when you reach your goal, it won’t remain that way if you go back to abusing your body with old habits.

Don’t be a victim of misleading information and empty promises.  Instead, take your health and body improvement into your own hands, and you’ll live younger longer without all the pills, potions and crunch exhaustion.

Sleep Deprivation Dangers

When you constantly have problems going to sleep or you have difficulty staying asleep, sleep deprivation is going to occur. This means that your body isn’t getting the sleep it needs in order to function the way that it should. There are a variety of dangers that can occur with sleep deprivation. First, you’ll find that several physical effects can occur. Not getting enough sleep can increase your risk of getting sick or of developing serious illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. There are serious mental effects as well, including memory and concentration problems. Even weight gain can occur if you aren’t getting enough sleep, according to recent studies.

Natural Remedies that Can Help

The good news is that even if you are dealing with insomnia, there are some natural remedies that can help. Here is a look at a few natural remedies you can try to make sure you’re getting enough sleep along with your anti aging program.

- Avoid Late Night Snacks – Before you go to bed, avoid late night snacks, especially those that are high in sugar.

- Turn off the TV – You also need to turn off the TV. It stimulates your brain and makes it more difficult to sleep.

- Use Relaxation CDs – Nature sounds and white noise can help to relax you so you can get to sleep and stay asleep.

- Use a Melatonin Supplement – Using a natural melatonin supplement can also help you sleep better at night.

- Write in a Journal – If you are constantly staying awake with your thoughts whirling, write in a journal before bed to clear your mind.

Many Naturopaths recommend taking “calming minerals” just before bed. Personally, these minerals and playing easy listening instrumentals from an ipod always works for me. Those eight hours of beauty sleep do make a difference for anti-aging and your quality of life.

Add to this list of toxins is bad air, dirty water, toxic foods, mercury in fish, fillings and vaccinations, genetically modified foods are in question, msg in most packaged products, lead paint and the list keeps getting longer.

Parasites are everywhere.  Just by going about your business every day puts you in constant contact with them.  These highly intelligent organisms can and do invade your body, grow, survive quite well and reproduce without you even being aware of their presence.  In fact, some people would rather not face reality that we all have these creatures at one time or another.

Parasitic infestation can cause your body to age poorly.  If these tiny creatures aren’t eliminated, they can cause poor nutrient absorption, anemia and a weakened immune system, along with  many other health problems.

Raw fruits and vegetables are contaminated because of the many people who handle them from field to grocer.  Some of the more exotic produce may have been grown in places that use human waste as fertilizer and you won’t know it.  Then many fruits and vegetables come from countries that either don’t have or don’t practice good sanitation.

Most meats and fish often aren’t checked because of too few government inspectors available.  In fact, if you took a tour of one or two slaughter houses, you’d probably decide to become a vegetarian.

Researchers report that eating clay is healthy because parasites are attracted to clay.  When this clay is eliminated, so are the parasites.  Over time as their eggs are hatched, they are attracted to the clay and the cycle repeats, problem solved.

Using calcium bentonite clay on a regular basis helps keep your body detoxified from the many assaults it gets every day.  In fact, many people who use clay report that they wouldn’t be without it.  A few of the benefits noticed include a clearer complexion, brighter eyes, resistance to infections, and relief from digestion issues.

For daily maintenance a couple ounces of liquid clay on an empty stomach should do the job nicely.  If you prefer hydrated clay, you can reduce the amount to a couple of tablespoons for adults.  If you are taking medications of any kind, please wait a couple of hours before taking the clay. If you’re uncertain, check with your naturopath or doctor.

Your body is hard at work all day and night.  Calcium bentonite clay cleanses your entire system, and helps it operate at its peak.  To slow aging and cell degeneration, you must remove the toxins, eliminate parasites and provide proper nutrients.  In return, you get vibrant health and it shows.

Positive thinking is the key to a healthier, happier and a longer life.  Optimistic people usually have fewer physical ills than those whose lives are consumed by helplessness and despair.

There are small steps to creating a more positive outlook on your life.  If you have friends that always focus on the negative, maybe it’s time to pause and reset your circle of friends.  If you have been listening to too much bad news, it may be time to turn off the radio.  Go for walks, enjoy the Spring flowers, indulge in something that makes you happy.  Watch a good comedy on television and see how much benefit you get from a good belly laugh.

One of the best anti-aging remedies is to accept yourself along with all the imperfections.  Experts report that people who live in the present have higher happiness scores.  That’s not to say that it’s bad to look ahead, but things change very fast and that worry you had last month may be completely gone tomorrow.

Negative emotions cause stress and anger.  These two emotions can result in a rise in blood pressure, a pounding heart, your adrenals release adrenalin which can trigger headaches or worse.

One way to help retrain your thinking is that for each negative thought,  do a “replace” or think a positive.  Before long, you reverse those negatives and make positive thinking a habit.  Your physical body will respond by having less stress and more joy and happiness.

Aging simply is easier when both the body and mind are kept in a hopeful and positive aura.  Let your positive attitude color your thoughts to recharge and boost your energy levels, ensure good health and self confidence.

Stretching is easy to do and requires about ten minutes. As you stretch more, the length of tendons and muscles increases and you’ll become more fit.

As your range of movement improves, your lifestyle performance gets better.  You’ll now be able to zip the dress yourself or reach that item on the top shelf.   When your muscles and tendons are well flexed, you won’t experience soreness when you do an exercise out of the ordinary for you.

You will notice after a period of stretching that you have more energy and are not only capable of doing more things, but you actually enjoy new activities.  Now you won’t sit through your favorite song at the dance, you’ll be out there enjoying yourself.

Incorporating stretching into your daily routine will prevent injury to joints, tendons and muscles when you’re doing a more exhausting activity.  Your lifestyle will expand, you’ll feel better, live younger longer and stretching compliments your anti-aging program.

Low metabolism and weight gain also leads to issues with your appearance.  It can cause bloating which makes you look older, not to mention that bloating can be quite painful as well.

So, what can actually cause low metabolism to occur?

One issue is your thyroid.  If your thyroid is not producing enough of the correct hormones, you may end up dealing with a slow metabolism and this problem needs to be corrected.

Another issue that can lead to low metabolism is not eating enough, yeah right!  If you don’t eat on a regular basis, the body basically begins to “save” nutrients and goes into “starvation mode”.  Although many people think they will lose weight by skipping meals,  most often the exact opposite occurs.

If you overeat for the amount of energy you need, your body will store extra as fat.  You can see that to live younger longer, you’ll need to have your thyroid function checked periodically, eat smaller but more frequent meals and limit the number of calories you consume at these meals.  The extra benefit to eating more frequently is that it stabilizes your blood sugar and you won’t be starving one hour and overeating the next.

Some of the benefits of dry skin brushing include better circulation, elimination of toxins which helps your liver, colon and kidneys function more efficiently.  Cellulite, which is just material stored in your fat cells, is reduced and your skin will become more toned, tightened and exude a youthful warm glow.

To brush your skin from head to toe takes about ten to fifteen minutes but rewards you in a variety of ways.  Here are the ways I find to be most efficient time-wise and you get all the benefits:

1)  Start with your toes, go counter-clockwise and brush all of your toes, then move on to the bottoms of your feet.

2)  Brush from your ankles to your knees brushing counter-  clockwise in circles.

3)  Continue brushing both legs completely, moving up to your torso.  Brush both buttocks up towards the heart and be gentle in the breast areas, but pay particular attention to the underarms which help lymph toxins move through and out of the body.  This improves the immune system function and other major organs.

4)  Begin brushing the fingers and hand moving upwards to the shoulders. Be careful to brush completely around the  arms and legs.

5)  The back of your neck is a bit tricky, but using the long handle of the brush should help move the brush in little circles down towards the heart.

6) Brushing your back may require you to brush in larger circles, but with a little practice, you’ll get the hang of it.

A moderately soft natural vegetable bristle brush is best, and if you can find one with a removable long handle, it’ll be easier to work with.  Begin each session with a gentle brushing and in time you’ll get your own comfort level.  Just be careful in sensitive areas so you don’t cause redness or chafing.

Your brush will fill fast with impurities so about once every five days or so, wash the brush in warm water and let dry in the sun if possible.

Within a few days your skin will become conditioned to the brushing, and will reward you with countless benefits to good health.  Living younger longer has never been easier so give it a try.

Have a fun and successful day,

Most people don’t realize that the body operates best when it has a slightly alkaline pH level, and it’s important to keep your body a bit on the alkaline side. A neutral pH is 7, but usually the body does best at a bit over 7, which makes it alkaline. Under seven means that your body is acidic. You can get pH paper from a pharmacist and test your own pH with saliva or urine.

Having too much acidity in the body can lead to health problems. It can cause you to gain weight, and it can even make you age even faster. When your body is more acidic, your body isn’t as easily able to absorb the minerals and vitamins in foods and free radical oxidation can also occur – free radicals are known to increase the aging process.

So, what can you do to cut down on the acidity in your body if your pH is a bit on the acidic side? Well, you can start out by eliminating or limiting foods in your diet that are more acidic. This can include foods like grains, meats, alcohol, sweets, and dairy products.

There are foods that you can add to your diet to bring your pH level closer to alkaline as well. Just a few alkaline foods that you may want to add to your diet include asparagus, spinach, green beans, cabbage, lettuce, avocado, garlic, broccoli, kale, and many other vegetables.

As you can see, it may be worth your while to check out your pH. Making sure you lean a bit to the alkaline side can help you ensure you keep your anti-aging plan on track.

Everyone needs some fats, which the body uses for energy. Fat helps to transport vitamins that are fat soluble, are important for healthy skin, good function of the immune system, and more. However, the wrong fats could be ruining your health and your anti aging program.

The Good Fats

Fats that are unsaturated, which usually are in the form of oils, help to increase the flexibility and fluidity of cells. There are heart health fats as well, which include olive and canola oils, which are monounsaturated fats.

Omega-3s, which are polyunsaturated fats are healthy fats as well and including them in your diet is important. They can help to reduce the risk of heart problems and can also help beat inflammation, which can cause aging. Foods that contain them include flax seeds, walnuts, and certain types of fish.

To a certain extent, the Omega-6s can be somewhat beneficial. They can be healthy in small amounts; however, most people take in too much of these fats, which can end up promoting inflammation – sabotaging your anti-aging program. You’ll want to cut back on these fats, which are found in products that contain soybean products.

Bad Fats

Both trans fats and saturated fats are considered to be bad fats. They can raise bad cholesterol, and they have been linked to depression and diabetes as well. Trans fats are even known to lower the good cholesterol, which is another problem. For good health, it’s best to cut back on these fats as much as possible. Any fats that don’t help you anti-age simply aren’t a benefit to your wellness program.

Have a fun, safe and successful New Year,

The buildup of toxins within the body stresses every system within your body. This is why many people feel fatigued all the time when they need to detoxify. As you eliminate toxins with a detox program, you can relieve the stress on the body and help the body to perform the way it’s supposed to.  There are many good products that help you detox along with fresh organic juices and plenty of fresh reverse osmosis water.  Eating lightly when detoxing is recommended so that the liver has less to deal with while cleaning your systems.

Many chronic illnesses are a result of toxicity within the body. Toxins weaken the body and all the organs in the body, which can lead to problems with cellular function and early aging.  When you detoxify, you work to keep the systems of the body working correctly, helping to eliminate toxins more quickly, which improves overall health and slows down aging.  So, detoxifying is definitely an important part of any anti-aging program.

Yes, sugar may be making you look older faster. There are many new studies out there today that show that sugar contributes to the process of aging. Findings have been showing that consuming sugars on a regular basis can cause the body to start an inflammatory response. This response actually makes you age faster and it can even lead to various diseases, including Alzheimer’s cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.

Dermatology studies have even shown that not only can sugar be causing inflammation responses within the body, which makes aging occur, but when you eat sugar, it could even be causing more wrinkles to occur. Glucose is able to attach to proteins within the body, and the proteins that keep your skin looking young and healthy, elastin and collagen, are two proteins that are the most susceptible to sugar.

So, if you are consuming too much sugar, you’re actually making your body age faster. Not only will that affect the way you look, but the consumption of sugar can make you more at risk for age related diseases as well.

The good news is that you can help to combat the problem with sugar. One option is to stop eating sugar, but if you can’t totally eliminate sugar from your diet, supplementing with antioxidants can help. Some studies are showing that making sure you get plenty of antioxidants can help to block the inflammation response that occurs when you consume sugar.

By trying different combinations of sugar to sugar substitute such as Stevia can save you not only calories but cuts your sugar intake by a high percentage. That’s a good thing for your anti-aging program.

Styrene, which is the main building block of Styrofoam, is very dangerous. There can be acute health effects, including irritation to the respiratory system, the eyes, skin, and the stomach. Exposure to Styrofoam over time can lead to various central nervous system problems, including headaches, weakness, depression, and fatigue. It can even have effects on the blood and kidneys.

So, when you drink out of that Styrofoam cup, especially if you’re drinking something warm, you’re probably drinking in toxins from the cup. Toxins are known to build up in the body and cause all manner of physical problems, not to mention they increase aging as well. If you’re really serious about your anti aging program, it may be time to start using regular mugs instead of drinking out of Styrofoam if you want to stay looking young and beautiful.

Have a safe, blessed and Happy Thanksgiving,

There are a variety of common ingredients in toothpaste that may be harmful to your body. Just a few of them include triclosan, fluoride, silica, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and more. You may think you’re okay if you don’t swallow the toothpaste, but the chemicals can be absorbed by the mucus membranes that are in your mouth, since they have 90% absorbency.

Triclosan, one of the ingredients you’ll find in toxic toothpaste is used as an antibacterial. This ingredient is used in pesticides and can cause damage to your lungs, kidneys, and your heart. Ethanol and isopropyl alcohol are often found in toothpastes and ethanol is a carcinogen, while isopropyl alcohol can cause nausea, headaches, and can even be deadly if you ingest too much.

These are just a few of the ingredients that do usually appear on ingredients. The thing is, there are toxic toothpaste ingredients that don’t even show up on the ingredients list. Food dyes, propylene glycol moisturizers, and artificial sweeteners may be included and don’t have to be shown on the ingredients list.

Before you buy toothpaste, think twice. Toxic toothpaste may be sabotaging that great anti-aging plan you’re using, and it could be shortening your life as well. Consider finding a natural alternative that doesn’t use chemicals in it instead of using regular toothpaste.

Do you really even know what is in your laundry detergent? Probably not. In fact, laundry detergents don’t even have to list the ingredients in them on the label. The thing is, there are toxins in your laundry detergent, even if they’re not listed.

There are dangerous chemicals that are hazardous that are included in toxic detergent. While you may not think that’s too bad, what you don’t know is that the chemicals get into your wash. Some of it is left on your clothes. When you wear the clothes, then those chemicals can get assimilated into the body.

Once these chemicals get into your body, they can build up and cause all kinds of problems. They can mess around with hormones, in some cases they can build up and cause cancer, and they can even cause allergic reactions.

Why should you keep spending money on toxic detergent? Do you really want to continue putting chemicals on your clothes – the very same clothes that touch your skin each day?

It may be time to rethink that laundry detergent you’ve been using. Not only are you sabotaging your anti-aging program, but you’re also building up toxins in your body that can seriously affect your health. It’s time to start finding something better for your body and your anti aging program.
