easy clean up; it only takes one pot to make.

1 can pineapple chunks or fresh pineapple. Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C, a powerful immune system booster.

Can Smoking harm My Skin?

Written by Wendy Owen

Skin is fed from within. The foods we eat are broken down into nutrients and waste. The nutrients are absorbed by repparttar

bloodstream which transports them around repparttar 114771

body to

various organs, repparttar 114773

largest of which is repparttar 114774

skin. Oxygen is also transported and delivered in repparttar 114775

same way. The cells absorb repparttar 114776

oxygen and this is vital for repparttar 114777

health of

organs and repparttar 114779

life process itself. This whole process takes place automatically when we breathe........

Except when we are breathing in smoke!

When we inhale repparttar 114780 smoke from a cigarette repparttar 114781 carbon monoxide from repparttar 114782 smoke is absorbed by repparttar 114783 hemoglobin in repparttar 114784 blood. Carbon monoxide is a colorless odorless highly toxic gas also found in repparttar 114785 smoke from car exhausts. The blood can absorb carbon monoxide 200 times as fast as oxygen so a lot of repparttar 114786 oxygen is displaced by carbon monoxide. The organs including repparttar 114787 skin are starved of life giving oxygen and slowly poisoned by repparttar 114788 carbon monoxide.

But that's not repparttar 114789 end of it. Cigarette smoke also contains repparttar 114790 following deadly cocktails of chemicals. Ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, butane, nicotine, carbolic acid, collidine, formic aldehyde, lutidine, parvoline, prussic acid, pyridine, arsenic and cadmium. This list is by no means complete.
