The affect on skin of all these is catastrophic. The liver goes into overdrive trying to expel these chemicals from body and cannot perform its normal functions properly. The skin loses its healthy glow and takes on a yellowish-grey cast. The more cigarettes smoked, worse your skin will look.

Smoking also causes premature aging in two ways. It uses up vitamin C in body, about 35 mg for each cigarette. Vitamin C is an unstable vitamin and cannot be manufactured by body. One of its functions is preservation of collagen in skin, substance that gives skin its plump and youthful appearance. The collagen beaks down causing premature wrinkles around eyes and mouth.

The physical act of smoking causes us to squint, exaggerating wrinkles around eyes. Every time we purse our lips we deepen wrinkles around our mouth as well.

Do yourself a favor! Stop poisoning yourself. Save money you spend on these toxic weeds and go out and treat yourself to a facial or a new skin cream instead.

Your skin will thank you for it!

Over next two weeks Andy experimented with his routine and finally came to conclusion that if he brushed his teeth several hours before going to bed rather than just before retiring he didn’t snore so much, if at all, and he woke in morning without his mouth feeling all dry.

That simple change has made a big difference to Andy and Karen. Andy deduced that when he brushed his teeth just before retiring, toothpaste was making him a little dehydrated. It was enough to dry out nasal passages and cause him to breathe through his mouth making snoring noise. By brushing earlier he didn’t suffer same dehydration and was able to breathe through his nose whole night through. Now Andy also realized that toothpaste alone shouldn’t be able to have such a major effect. It was that his body was very near balance point and toothpaste was final small push over edge. Andy decided he was too close to that fine balance point and began to look at his whole diet and has made made some small adjustments. He has lost a little weight, but that’s a bonus and he only now snores if he over indulges and that’s usually when he catches up with college buddies twice a year.

The chance of eliminating your snoring by changing time of day when you brush your teeth is most likely less than one in a thousand or worse. Andy’s problem probably isn't your problem. The key is to find system that is out of balance and work to set it right. You never know, you may only need smallest of change. Is it worth effort? You decide.
