Health Risks from Aluminum in Deodorant?

There is no agreed upon safe level of ingesting aluminum or being exposed to it. Most people don't read the label of most deodorants but in 90% of all brands, there is aluminum. Check right now.

On the other hand, no adverse health affects (on people with healthy kidneys) have been proven from the following:

* Cooking with aluminum pots and pans
* Using deodorants with aluminum
* Ingesting the tiny amounts of aluminum in foods and beverages

The kidneys excrete the aluminum we absorb from our intestines. This process is usually very efficient. It prevents us from building up toxic levels of aluminum.

People with impaired kidneys, especially those on dialysis, tend to have much higher blood levels of aluminum compared to people with normal kidneys. However, they don't have any signs of aluminum poisoning.

That doesn't mean that aluminum is totally safe. Aluminum poisoning can cause serious health problems. These can include:

* Anemia
* Confusion and difficulty concentrating
* Bone disease

Almost all deodorants and antiperspirants use these chemicals to form a base that is used to hold the perfumes that give them their scent. Aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, due to high concentrations of the metal in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. And by applying these dangerous chemicals to an area near the underarm lymph nodes, people are ensuring that they are carried through the body.

The Zero Fireplace by Ak47>>>The Ultimate Cypha Piece

Ak47, an Italian company that produce a range of firewood holders that we featured back in May, have added the Zero Fireplace to their collection. I just question the functionality if at all it tips over. This would look great on a deck or in the middle of a cypher like the video below.

The Coco Cure

Coconut Water, also called coconut juice, is the liquid found inside a fresh coconut. Contrary to popular belief, this liquid is not the same as coconut milk. Coconut water in a sense, is tree sap. It is a relatively clear liquid that looks more like water than it does milk. It is very sweet and a pleasure to drink, your body will definitely feel happy from it. My favorite are the young Thai coconuts, they are a lot sweeter than most. In addition to natural sugars, it contains a complex array of vitamins and minerals, which make it a highly nutritious beverage, ideal for athletes or anyone who is active and looking for a healthier alternative to Gatorade. (no offense) Coconut water is high in potassium, chlorides, calcium, and magnesium, with a modest amount of sodium, sugar, and protein. It is essentially fat-free and perfect for re-hydration. While the mineral content remains fairly constant, the sugar and protein concentrations increase as the nut matures. As "tree sap", coconut water is essentially the "blood" of the coconut palm. The electrolyte profile is somewhat similar to human plasma and for that reason, has been used by doctors as an intravenous solution and injected directly into the bloodstream to prevent dehydration. Until recently, just about the only way to get coconut water was to crack open a coconut. The demand for a natural sports drink has led to commercial packaging of young coconut water. It is now available in many locations in bottled and tetra pak containers. Check Vita Coco and Zico brands in your local supermarkets. Not trying to hurt any one's business but, it would be wise to stray away from the aluminum canned varieties, they usually contain added preservatives and sugars. And who wants extra aluminum in their bodies, you know?

Some Healing Properties of Coconut Water:

-Reduces Colic and Gas in infants

-Re-hydrates the body

-Keeps the body cool

-Used topically, it prevents prickly heat and summer boils, relieves rashes caused by small pox, chicken pox, measles, etc.

-Kills intestinal worms

-Assist in healing urinary infections

-Cures malnourishment

-Diuretic *Drinking in excess can create a laxative effect. That's cool if that's what you have going on and need that relief, otherwise, drink responsibly. LOL!!!

-Helps dissolve kidney and urethral stones.

Dress Warmly PLEASE!!! 2 Basic Tips

1>>>
Dress in layers. It's important to understand that dressing for the cold weather is a process. It's not just a matter of buying a pair of pants and a jacket, and you're good to go. You need to consider the under layers that you use as much as the outer layers. Get good quality thermal underlayers and a great synthetic fleece
to go under that jacket and pants, and you'll be set to be out on the coldest of days. Ignore the underlayers and you may not.

2>>>
Eat Warm Foods and Drink More Water and Teas....
THE SCARF SAVES LIVEs)))))))))
The life-saving abilities of the scarf are of great magnitude. More heat releases from the neck and head than any other body part during the winter months. Two scarf layers around the neck conserves heat and sustains optimal blood flow and body temperature. Be wise...Try going all winter without a sneeze...Be well.
