IS YOUR COLON TOXIC?Written by Jane Kriese
The colon is part of large intestine extending from cecum to rectum. The most common sign of a toxic colon is constipation. Dead food leads to constipation, toxic build up, weight gain, and low energy. Constipation results when waste materials move too slowly through large bowel, resulting in infrequent and/or painful elimination. This process causes putrefied, nasty materials to stay in colon too long and old fecal matter starts to harden and stick to colon. Over 2.5 million North American's suffer from constipation. Most North Americans are storing 5 to 10 pounds of old fecal matter in their bodies. We are all subject to this problem, even rich and famous. It has been documented that John Wayne had 40 pounds of built up fecal matter in his colon and Elvis Presley had 60 pounds of built up fecal matter when he died. You could say we are all full of s_ _ t! Now, you are probably wondering what causes constipation? Basically causes are our life style. We lack fiber and water in our diet, eat junk food, lack of exercise, advanced age and bowel disorders. It may also be side effects of iron supplements, some drugs or pain killers. Dr. Bernard Jensen D.C. PhD. says “poor bowel management lies at root of most peoples health problems”. This is because poisons back up in system polluting our inner environment. We call this auto intoxication or self poisoning. The following conditions can be related to constipation; allergies, bad breath, foul spelling gas and stools, diarrhea, sluggish elimination, irregular bowel movements, frequent congestion, colds, viruses, frequent headaches, general aches and pains, intolerance to fatty foods, low energy, low back pain, low resistance to infection, needing to sleep a long time, pain in liver or gallbladder, P.M.S., breast soreness, vaginal infection, skin problems, boils, pimples or acne.
| | RETINOL: ONE OF THE BEST OVER-THE-COUNTER ANTI-WRINKLE INGREDIENTSWritten by Valerie Goettsch
Dermatologists praise Retinol as an excellent over-the counter anti-wrinkle ingredient. Retinol creams work to soften lines and fade age spots. WHAT IS RETINOL? Retinol is technical name for Vitamin A. Research suggests that topical Vitamin A can help build collagen fibers and exfoliate skin, thereby minimizing appearance of fine lines. There are several forms of Vitamin A found in body. Retinol is one of them; other forms include retinyl palmitate, retinal and retinoic acid. Renova and Retin-A® are retinoic acid, also known as tretinoin. WHY USE A RETINOL CREAM? Regular use of a retinol cream increases cell turnover and exfoliation by stimulating cell production and new collagen production. As we age, this process normally slows down and layers of dead, sun damaged skin cells build up on skin. This causes our skin to look dull and thick; pores look large and we see visible effects of sun damage such as age spots, uneven skin tone and less elasticity.
