Are You Still Drinking From Styrofoam

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Fresh Coffee So, you’ve started a great new anti aging program. However, if you are still drinking out of those Styrofoam cups, you are only sabotaging your new anti aging plan. You may not realize it, but Styrofoam is harmful for your body. You may be drinking from it, using food containers made out of it, and packing boxes and packages with it.

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,

No Need To Include This In Your Anti-Aging Cosmetics

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

Nowadays in our image obsessed and youth obsessed society, many of us women are interested in finding beauty products that offer anti-aging benefits.  If you need further proof of this, just take a trip down the aisle at your local drugstore, and you will be sure to see a whole slew of makeup and skin care products that promise that they will help keep you looking youthful!

Many of the  anti-aging products available on the market today include chemicals such as titanium dioxide as one of their main active ingredients.  However, I would highly encourage you to stay far, far away from any anti-aging products that contain titanium dioxide and/or other harsh chemicals.  There are a multitude of reasons for this.

For starters, some studies show that titanium dioxide contains certain properties that can potentially be   a  health issue in humans.  With so many other risk factors that we already have to worry about, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to apply a skin cream or makeup every morning that could add to your chemical load, does it?  Therefore, if you are currently already using beauty products that contain titanium dioxide now is definitely the time to switch over to more natural, organic beauty products that do not contain such ingredients and will help you live younger longer.

Finding new organic beauty products will help you to look your very best without chemicals!  The great news is that with so many organic beauty lines in existence today and with a wide variety of price ranges to choose from, you are sure to find some new organic anti-aging beauty products that both you and your wallet will love!

Have a fun and successful day,
Vida
