f you use shampoo to wash your hair, it probably works up into a nice thick lather. This nice thick lather, for many of us, really defines the shampooing experience. Imagine, then, discovering that this lather could kill you. In 1998, an e-mail first made the Internet rounds that instilled fear in shampoo users around the globe. This e-mail, anonymous of course, claimed that your shampoo could be giving you cancer. The culprit, according to the e-mail, is sodium laureth sulfate, also known as SLES. This ingredient creates lather. In fact, the more common lather-producing agent is sodium lauryl sulfate, SLES's less-expensive cousin. The molecules are very similar, though. Sodium lauryl sulfate is a detergent, a crystalline salt of sulfated lauryl alcohol. It's good at general cleaning because it's a surfactant -- a substance that breaks up surface tension, the bonds between molecules in the outer layer of a compound. This is how SLS produces lather. It eases those bonds, allowing two separate entities -- say, shampoo and your hair -- to interact more effectively. Without this loosening of surface bonds, shampoo wouldn't be as good at removing dirt and oil from your hair. SLS is a common ingredient in all sorts of cleaning products. You'll also find it in toothpastes, mouthwashes and, as noted with horror in the anonymous e-mail, garage-floor cleaners. The most common reaction at this point is: Really? The stuff in our shampoo is also in garage-floor cleaners? How can that be safe? It's a bold claim, and the e-mail had the desired effect. Lots of people switched to "all natural" shampoos that proudly assert their SLS-free status, presumably to avoid shampoo-related cancer risk. But are these people really less likely to develop cancer than those of us who use regular old SLS-containing shampoo? In this article, we'll find out why SLS has gotten a bad rep and see whether our shampoo is really giving us cancer. As it turns out, there are certain risks associated with sodium lauryl sulfate. So, is our quest for clean hair going to kill us?

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Cancer

Almost every shampoo you find in the hair-care aisle has sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate in it. Considering that these products have to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before they end up on the shelf, can it really be that they causecancer? Was the 1998 e-mail right? As with so many widely forwarded,fear-inducing e-mails, it's wrong. Sources from the American Cancer Society to health expert Dr. Andrew Weil to TreeHugger.com to the International Agency for Research on Cancer all say the same thing: SLS is noncarcinogenic [sources: Elton, LEDA and Snopes]. That SLS is an ingredient in garage-floor cleaners doesn't mean much. Arsenic, an ingredient in wood preservatives, is also in our drinking water. But in our water, it doesn't kill us -- it's all about the level of concentration.

So, if it doesn't cause cancer or kill us, then what's the deal with sodium lauryl sulfate? Sodium lauryl sulfate can hurt you, but not in the way the e-mail rumor suggests. SLS can irritate skinunder certain circumstances. It may seem strange that a cosmetic product like shampoo would contain an irritant, but the only way SLS actually irritates the skin is if it's left on for an extended period of time. It's entirely legitimate to say that if you like to leave shampoo on your hair all day, you should probably go SLS-free or face a dry, rashy scalp. You may also notice that your toothpaste container warns you not to swallow the stuff inside, and part of the reason for that is SLS. Will you get cancer if you swallow too much SLS-containing toothpaste? Doubtful. But you may end up with a case of diarrhea. The worst-case scenario with an SLS-containing shampoo, then, is irritation if you leave it on your head too long. Oh, and you're looking at possible toxicity if you swallow about 16 pounds (7.5 kilograms) of SLS-containing toothpaste [source: Queensland Health]. The SLS-free market has really boomed since the late '90s when that incorrect e-mail made the rounds -so much so, in fact, that many experts suspect the e-mail originated from a natural-foods marketing agency [source: LEDA]. Still, even with the total lack of evidence linking SLS and cancer, some people would rather stay away from a potential irritant. For them, there are lots of SLS-free shampoos offered by natural-cosmetics companies. You can find them in any health-food-type store and all over the Internet, and they don't cost any more than most regular shampoos.

Parabenii noi descoperiri tiinifice asupra nocivitii lor

5 noiembrie 2013 Invata sa traiesti sanatos, Naional, Prima pagin

Noi trim cu toii ntr-o sup chimic.(Lance A. Wallace) Dar trebuie s fim totui ateni la ingrediente.

Ce sunt parabenii

Parabenii sunt utilizai extensiv de mult timp, pentru capacitatea conservativ antibacterian n produsele pentru piele, diverse alte produse cosmetice, alimente i medicamente. Parabenii sunt un grup de esteri alchilici ai acidului para-hidroxi-amino-benzoic i includ substanele: metilparaben, etilparaben, propilparaben, butilparaben, izobutilparaben, izopropilparaben, benzilparaben. Mai multe studii realizate n ultimul deceniu prezint parabenii ca pe nite potenial carcinogeni pentru cancerul desn, cel uterin i, cel mai recent descoperit, pentru cancerul de piele.

Parabenii sunt implicai n apariia cancerului de sn Dr. Philippa D. Darbre, confereniar n oncologie la Universitatea Reading (Marea Britanie), a condus foarte multe studii pentru a elucida dac parabenii conduc la dezvoltarea cancerului de sn. n 2002 grupul ei a raportat c parabenii prezint activitate estrogenic. Aceast activitate a fost evaluat n linia celular de cancer de sn MCF7 i pe animale de laborator. Rezultatele studiului au artat creterea proliferrii celulare n linia MCF7 i n esutul uterin la oarecele de laborator. Ulterior, aproximativ 20 de studii diferite au stabilit c parabenii au activitate estrogenic, aspect ce devine relevant cnd este vorba de tumori estrogen-sensibile, cum este cea mamar. O scuz obinuit care se vehiculeaz n aprarea lipsei studiilor de toxicitate referitoa re la parabeni este aceea c parabenii sunt substane slabe ca aciune. De exemplu, anumite studii au artat c propilparaben-ul si butilparaben-ul sunt de aproximativ 30.000 i respectiv 10.000 de ori mai puin puternice dect estradiolul (hormon estrogenic). Dar rezultatele expuse de Barr i colaboratorii si n anul 2012 arat concentraii tisulare (n esut) de parabeni care sunt, n cazurile cele mai grave, de milioane de ori mai mari dect concentraiile de estradiol. Deci magnitudinea expunerii la aceste substane pare s compenseze semnificativ puterea de aciune sczut a lor.

Ultimul studiu realizat n 2012 de echipa dr. Darbre a descoperit c n esutul tumoral al cancerului de sn de la 40 de paciente erau prezeni unul sau mai muli parabeni. Iar aceasta s-a observat n 99% din fragmentele de esut examinate. n 60% din aceste fragmente s-a observat c erau prezeni toi parabenii. Nu s-au putut face niciun fel de corelaii ntre concentraiile de parabeni din esutul tumoral i vrst, localizarea tumorii sau coninutul de receptori pentru estrogen care erau n tumori. Autorii studiului au menionat faptul c nu poate fi indicat exact sursa de parabeni pentru aceste cazuri, o parte din aceste paciente afirmnd c nu au folosit niciodat deodorante sau antiperspirante. Aceste constatri i -a fcut pe cercettori s nainteze ipoteza c esutul mamar ar fi o zon predilect de acumulare a parabenilor, indiferent de sursa de provenien a acestora medicamente, alimente, geluri de du, cosmetice e tc. n urma diferitelor studii realizate n ultimii ani, au fost fcute i alte observaii interesante, care susin implicarea parabenilor n procese celulare maligne: 1. anumii parabeni determin afectri ale ADN-ului (aspect care exist n celulele tumorale) 2. metilparabenul susine ciclul celular, fcnd celulele mamare mai rezistente la moartea celular programat (apoptoz) (procesul prin care celulele mbtrnite ale oricrui esut sunt retrase din sistem, pentru ca altele tinere s le ia locul).

Produsul de metabolism al parabenilor Cercettorii s-au ntrebat apoi dac i subtana care rezult dup metabolizarea parabenilor n ficat, acidul para hidroxi-benzoic, are activitate estrogenic. Ei au observat, prin studii pe linii celulare adecvate, c proliferarea celular indus de acesta era mai mic dect n cazul parabenilor, sugernd o diminuare dar nu o eliminare a efectelor estrogenice n cazul produsului de metabolism.

Parabenii ajut la mbtrnirea pielii i sunt factori de risc pentru ca ncerul de piele

Recent s-a artat c parabenii poteneaz stresul oxidativ i producerea de oxid nitric dup expunerea la raze ultraviolete (UV) a culturii de cheratinocite din piele. Adic, pe scurt, favorizeaz mbtrnirea pielii. Interesant, nu? Cumprm produse cosmetice pentru mbuntirea elasticitii i meninerea pielii ntr -o stare optim i cercettorii ne arat c aceste produse, dac conin parabeni, de fapt ajut la degradarea esutului cutanat dac stm la soare dup ce ne-am dat cu ele. i, ceea ce este i mai grav, este posibil ca ele s creasc riscul apariiei cancerului de piele. n anul 2007, o echip de cercettori japonezi a artat c metilparabenul persist nemetabolizat n piele. Aspect destul de grav pentru c dac ne gndim c aceste substane, parabenii, se acumuleaz la nivelul pielii i nu pot fi digerai de enzimele de la acest nivel, prin utilizarea zilnic a diferitelor produse cosmetice gel de du, lapte de corp, crem de corp, deodorante, antiperspirante, spunuri etc. se genereaz o ngreunare a proceselor fiziologice ale pielii, transformnd esutul cutanat ntr-un depozit de parabeni i probabil i de alte substane chimice asupra crora nu s-au realizat nc studii tiinifice n acest sens. Iar acest depozit este posibil s livreze apoi aceste substane esutului mamardup cum a artat echipa dr. Darbre la nceputul acestui an sau, dac exist i ali factori predispozani sau favorizani, s participe mpreun cu acetia la formarea cancerului de piele. Cercettorii au naintat ipoteza c substanele chimice din produsele de uz personal pot avea un efect nociv asupra sntii pe baza observaiei c frecvena diferitelor tipuri de cancer, printre care i cel de sn, a crescut n ultimele decenii, iar aceasta se coreleaz cu modificarea multor factori ai stilului de via printre care dieta, utilizarea produselor de uz personal care conin substane chimice netestate, ingerarea unei cantiti din ce n ce mai mari de medicamente etc.

Achiziionarea produselor de uz personal un exerciiu de atenie

n ciuda faptului c parabenii sunt utilizai ntr-o varietate mare de produse, toxicitatea lor a fost totui foarte puin investigat, existnd o acut caren n ceea ce privete studiile asupra acestor substane n toxicologia modern. ntruct se adun din ce n ce mai multe studii referitoare la toxicitatea parabenilor i pentru c nocivitatea celorlalte substane chimice din produsele de uz personal, medicamente, vaccinuri, alimente etc. nu a fost investigat cu adevrat, este bine s citim cu atenie toate substanele coninute n produsele pe care le cumprm i s utilizm ct mai multe produse naturale. Aa cum spunea Lavoisier: consider natura ca un laborator de chimie vast, n care toate tipurile de compoziii i descompuneri au loc. Substanele naturale vegetale sunt instrumentul de baz pe care Creatorul le folosete petru a ine toat natura n micare. Fiind creai dup chipul i asemnnarea Lui, ar trebui s urmm exemplul i s susinem n micare natura proprie, trupul, cu ajutorul acestor substane naturale

Study Finds Cancer-Causing Chemical in Nearly 100 Shampoos and Soaps

Center for Environmental Health

The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) revealed independent testing on Tuesday finding a cancer-causing chemical in 98 shampoos, soaps and other personal care products sold by major national retailers. The chemical, cocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA), a chemicallymodified form of coconut oil used as a thickener or foaming agent in many products, was listed by California as a known carcinogen last year.

Products tested with high levels of cocamide DEA include shampoos made by Colgate Palmolive, Colomer, Paul Mitchell and many others. In addition, products marketed for children and a product falsely labeled as organic were found with the chemical, in violation of California law. CEH filed a California lawsuit Tuesday against four companies that sell products containing cocamide DEA, and the nonprofit has sent legal notices to more than 100 other companies that produce and/or sell cocamide DEA-tainted products that their products violate state law. Most people believe that products sold in major stores are tested for safety, but consumers need to know that they could be doused with a cancer-causing chemical every time they shower or shampoo, said Michael Green, executive director of CEH. We expect companies to take swift action to end this unnecessary risk to our childrens and families health.

In addition to many brand name shampoos and personal care products (see the full list, below), the CEH testing found cocamide DEA in store-brand products purchased at Walmart, Trader Joes, Pharmaca and Kohls. A store brand childrens bubble bath from Kmart and a childrens shampoo/conditioner from Babies R Us were also found with cocamide DEA. Falsely labeled organic products from Organic by Africas Best also tested for high levels of the cancer-causing chemical (CEH previously won a legal settlement with this company requiring it to end its use of phony organic labels). CEH has purchased the shampoos and other products containing cocamide DEA at Bay Area, CA, locations of major retailers and from online retailers since June, and commissioned an independent lab to determine the total content of the chemical in the products. In many cases, products contain more than 10,000 ppm cocamide DEA, and one shampoo tested at more than 200,000 ppm (20 percent) cocamide DEA. California listed cocamide DEA in June 2012 as a chemical known to cause cancer based on the assessment by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, which evaluated skin exposure tests on animals.

POISON SHAMPOO: THE SHOCKINGLY TOXIC INGREDIENTS EXPOSED

Posted in: Disease & Toxins, Health & Nutrition

4631 47 29 6168

To EndAllDisease, we begin by eliminating every source of toxic exposure in our lives, and what better place to begin than with your own personal care products? I took the liberty of going to my local drug store, from where most people buy their shampoo, and took photos of 20 of the most popular and commonly used shampoo products so I could investigate each ingredient individually. I was shocked at what I had discovered. Most people clean their hair and bodies everyday with poison, brush their teeth with poison, rub poison underneath their armpits, clean their clothes with poison, and wash their dishes with poison and then after years of this abuse, they wake up one day with cancer and wonder why. Then, of course, everybody pats them on the back and tells them its not their fault, and then we all blame it on genetics and cry together like we are somehow victimized by the world around us. Heres the Big & Empowering Secret: We are not victims of disease, and disease doesnt happen by accident. Below I have analyzed one of the most popular brands of shampoo for your review. In any personal care product, each individual ingredient either enhances or diminishes your state of health. Put even more simply, each ingredient is either a nutrient, or a poison. Its time to take a look at all of the ingredients and make an educated decision as to what you want to be washing your hair with.

Healthy Shampoo? Yes! YES! YESSS!

You didnt think I would explode the myth about drug store shampoos being safe to use without giving you a healthy alternative, did you? Of course not! Its time to wake up and take action. Clearly the commercial brands of shampoo are almost all poison, and using these everyday will bioaccumulate poisons in the cells of your body and you will likely develop a disease from it at some point in your life. The shampoo I use is by a company called Dr. Bronner and is not only free of poisons, but it has many ingredients that nourish and move your body towards a greater state of health. The beauty about this product is that it can be used to clean the hair, the body, even to wash the dishes and laundry! I highly recommend you throw out the poison you used to wash your hair with and Upgrade Your Life by getting some clean and healthy soap. Lets take a look at the ingredients on Dr. Bronners Natural Shampoo & Soap:

Theyre similar, but the Laureth goes through an ethoxylation process, says Pollock. Which means? Ethoxylation results in a byproduct called 1,4 dioxane its not listed on the label, but that is the cancer-causing aspect of the ingredient. So, avoid any ingredients ending in eth. Which means you want to avoid ammonium laureth sulfate. While it used to be found in almost every shampoo, when concerns were raised over the ingredients toxicity level, a lot of companies switched over to the ammonium versionsnot that its much better. Says Pollock, The sodium and ammonium laureth sulfates are known cancer-causing ingredients. So what should you look for instead? Anything with the words glucose or glucoside in themfor example, sodium lauryl glucose or lauryl glucose. Sodium Chloride It may sound sinister, but sodium chloridefound in thousands of shampoosis just salt used to thicken or trigger thickening capabilities in your shampoo. No need to fretor search for another alternative. Cocamidopropyl Betaine Youll find this foaming agenta surfact derived through a chemical process with coconut oilin shampoo and body washes. In a finished product, it causes no harm to the body, and while there are alternatives, theyre not necessary. Polysorbates This solvent or emulsifier helps to bind oil and water together, and is often used to dissolve in the fragrance or other oil additives. And while its predominantly found in conditioners, there are some shampoos that carry it, too. But this ones loaded with trouble for your body. Its damaging at a few levels, Pollock explains. The chemical process isnt one of my favorites, and while some professionals dont report any real health concern, mine comes from the reaction with the scalp (in haircare products) and the skin (in face and body products) since it often leaves a residue on the skin, disrupts the skins natural pH, and emulsifies lipids in the natural protective barrier. There are alternatives to using polysorbates, but as Pollock warns, Theyre expensive, so theyre often not used. My favorites are derived from corn: zea mays or maize, often listed as corn water or propanediol. Citric Acid Its not just for oranges. This citrus fruit derivative, part of the alpha hydroxyl acid family, can be found in thousands of personal care productsincluding many in the natural line of care. Typically its used to lower the pH balance. And theres no need to fretits all good for your body, so theres no healthier alternative needed. Glycol Not all glycol is created equal. Its a common ingredient in hair and personal care products, but there are different types. Says Pollock, The more common are polyethylene glycol, often listed as PEG. These, again, are ethoxylated and are cancer-causing chemicals. Its used as a solvent to incorporate products into a formula, and theyre extremely dangeroustheyre known carcinogens. So what can we use in their place? The corn maize-derived solvent listed above, Pollock suggests.

Amodimethicone That smooth feeling you get when you run your hands through freshly conditioned hair? Thats amodimethicone, a silicone-based polymer used to seal in moisture. But it comes with its own host of troubles. Dimethicones and silicones are occlusive, meaning they dont allow something to breathethey seal in moisture and seal out everything else, Pollock notes. I avoid dimethicones and silicones when possible because I believe the scalp needs to breathe. Sealing the scalp, in my opinion, could lead to thinning of the hair. However, on the hair follicle, it can protect it from heat and provide shine. So what should you use instead? Look for natural oils like jojoba, argan, rose hip, sweet almond, olive oil or shea butter. Behentrimonium Chloride Another type of salt, behentrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt used in shampoos, conditioners and hairstyling products as a preservative. But is it damaging to your body? It can have some level of irritation, just like any preservative can, Pollock explains. Preservatives are meant to kill bacteria and contaminants, so they have to have some level of aggressiveness. This alone is often not the sole preservativemost formulators use a combination of preservatives, each with its own particular function or bacteria to attack. But I dont have a real problem with it. If youre concerned, though, Pollock recommends looking for products with dehydroacetic acid and benzyl alcohol instead. Hydrolysed Soy Protein This is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a soy-derived protein, including their amino acid compoundswhich are essential building blocks. Found in tons of different haircare products, hydrolysed soy protein is thought to nourish and strengthen the hair follicle. But whether its problematic for your body or not depends on your constitution. Some have a problem with soy, Pollock admits. Its processed, so those with soy allergies wouldnt necessarily have a problem. Some doctors swear by soy as the key to any diet or part of any healthy lifestyle, while some think you should avoid soy. In this form, I use it and dont have a problem. If youd rather play it safe, Pollock recommends other hydrolyzed proteinslike rice, vegetable or wheatas an alternative. Hydrolysed Collagen Heres the trick with collagen: Its a key component to our bodies, but the skin cant absorb it because the molecule is too large. So while its not damaging to your body, any brand claiming to strengthen your hair like conditioners or hair masksis just giving you a load of marketing hype. Says Pollock, The best bet is to get the body to synthesize it, using a peptide, vitamin C or other technology to get the body to synthesize collagen on its own. Cetrimonium Chloride Both shampoos and conditioners are the home for this quaternary ammonium compound, which is most often used as a preservative. Its about as sinister as any of the other preservatives listed above, but as Pollock says, As a conditioning agent, I dont think its neededor helps enough to even use it.

Samponul - de la traditie la stiinta

Publicat pe 27 Februarie 2008 in Frumusete

Cuvantul sampon este derivat din termeni care la origine desemnau diferite forme de masaj.
Sanatatea ta este o chestiune personala. O lasi in grija unui sistem public?

Cuvantul sampon este derivat din termeni care la origine desemnau diferite forme de masaj. Cu semnificatia de formula de sapun destinata spalarii parului, cuvantul sampon (shampoo) nu s-a regasit in limba engleza inainte de jumatatea secolului al XIX-lea. De atunci si pana in prezent, oamenii de stiinta au adaugat ingredientelor traditionale noi agenti care au dus la perfectionarea continua a formulelor, pentru ca in prezent sa ne bucuram de produse care pot imbunatati calitatea parului in doar 30 de secunde durata medie de timp necesar unei samponari. Sampoanele sunt alcatuite, in principal, din trei ingrediente: agenti activi de suprafata, siliconi si polimeri cationici carora li se adauga conservanti, parfumuri si, uneori, coloranti sau ingrediente impotriva matretii. 1. Agentii activi de suprafata contin atat ingrediente hidrofobe, atrase de substante uleioase, cat si ingrediente hidrofile, atrase de apa, permitand samponului sa dizolve murdaria, sebumul si produsele de coafare pentru a putea fi indepartate prin clatire 2. Siliconii sunt responsabili de lubrifierea parului, pentru o pieptanare mai usoara si un aspect mai neted al parului dupa uscare 3. Polimerii cationici permit unor consumatori sa renunte la folosirea balsamului dupa samponare, avand proprietati similare cu cele ale balsamului

Balsamul de par contine multe dintre ingredientele care se regasesc si in sampon, dar concentratiile si cantitatile difera, pentru a genera noi beneficii. In cazul balsamului, polimerii cationici sunt atrasi

de zonele deteriorate de pe suprafata firelor de par, pe care le fortifiaza, conferind un plus de consistenta parului. Rezultate mai performante pot fi obtinute prin utilizarea balsamurilor destinate netezirii, reducerii onduleurilor sau obtinerii unui par moale, matasos. Un alt tip de balsam este cel care nu necesita clatire dupa utilizare formula leave-in conceput astfel incat sa fie lasat sa actioneze pe firul de par, asupra zonelor care necesita hidratare si protectie suplimentara (in speta varfurilor). Unele produse de coafare, cum sunt cremele, lotiunile sau alifiile confera nu doar beneficii estetice datorate ingredientelor de fixare a polimerilor ci, in egala masura, confera stralucire si netezire datorate ingredientelor specifice balsamului.

Stiinta a transformat sampoanele, din simple sapunuri, in produse chimice complexe, compuse din agenti care reusesc sa actioneze independent in diferitele faze ale spalarii. Odata cu avansarea tehnologiei, ingredientele sunt compuse din particule tot mai mici, care permit o mai buna acoperire iar concentratia ingredientelor a crescut, pentru o eficienta sporita. Dezvoltarea progresiva a tehnologiei a permis adaugarea de noi ingrediente, cum sunt pro-vitamina B5 sau amino-acizii, care creeaza un nou nivel al performantei pentru sampoane si balsamuri. Cercetarile arata ca problemele cauzate de aspectul parului sunt o sursa frecventa de anxietate pentru multi oameni, atat in plan personal cat si profesional. 88% dintre femei indica aspectul parului drept un factor important care le influenteaza buna-dispozitie si increderea in ele insele. Concluzia este intarita de un studiu realizat in anul 2000 de catre Marianne LaFrance, in cadrul Universitatii Yale, care a dovedit faptul ca o zi in care aspectul parului nu este cel dorit (asa-numita bad-hair-day) poate duce la scaderea increderii si la cresterea nesigurantei sociale.

Cercetarile recente in domeniul produselor de ingrijire a parului indica faptul ca obtinerea unei imbunatatiri semnificative a calitatii parului depinde de aplicarea unui tratament complet de ingrijire, care sa includa atat produse utilizate pentru spalare sampoane si balsamuri cat si tratamente aplicate dupa spalare.

ampon toxic: citete cu atenie eticheta nainte s-l foloseti

26 octombrie 2012 Invata sa traiesti sanatos, Naional, Prima pagin, Realiti economice

Atunci cnd abordezi un stil de via sntos, exist un singur lucru pe care l nvm permanent: o via sntoas necesit vigilen. Acest lucru este valabil pentru alimente i exerciii, i n mod special pentru produsele pe care le cumprm La fel ca majoritatea aspectelor din viaa modern, amponul i produsele de ngrijire a prului conin prea multe ingrediente care s-au nscut pe masa unui chimist. Aceste substane chimice sunt absorbite prin piele i ajung n fluxul sanguin, iar de acolo pot produce un adevrat haos la nivelul organelor, esuturilor i celulelor. Din fericire, exist numeroase companii care sunt contiente de aceste pericole i folosesc n schimb ageni de curare sntoi n produsele lor de ngrijire corporal.

Alert a toxinelor Dar, n zilele noastre, este aproape imposibil s evii expunerea complet la toxinele duntoare care afecteaz sntatea. Iat o list cu substanele chimice care pot fi gsite n mod obinuit n multe din ampoanele existente pe pia. Parabeni: Folosii pentru a elimina bacteriile i ciupercile din cosmetice, parabenii sunt asociai de cercettori cu un nivel crescut al estrogenului, care poate duce la apariia unor afeciuni hormonale i la dereglri ale organelor. Quaternium-15: Un conservant care genereaz formaldehida i a fost legat de apariia cancerului, n special a leucemiei, quaternium-15 este de asemenea i un alergen, i poate provoca apariia dermatitei. Parfum: Ar fi nevoie de o carte pentru a enumera toate acele ingrediente ce pot fi gsite n diferitele parfumuri folosite n amponuri i produsele de ngrijire a pielii. Aceste substane pot produce reacii alergice, erupii, dureri de cap i grea. Unii compui de parfumuri au fost asociai cu dezvoltarea cancerului. Metilisotiazolinon: Adesea abreviat pe listele cu ingrediente drept MIT, acest conservant poate fi ntlnit ntr-o varietate de amponuri i a fost asociat cu risculdezvoltrii unor leziuni neurologice, n special la copiii nenscui. MIT are legtur i cu boala Alzheimer. Laurilsulfat de sodiu i lauretsulfat de sodiu: Abreviate drept SLS i SLES, aceti ageni tensioactivi fac spunurile spumoase. De asemenea pot provoca iritaii la nivelul pielii i ochilor, avnd influen negativ i asupra sistemului endocrin.

Dioxan-1,4: Aceast substan nu este un ingredient, ci mai degrab un contaminant. Totui, dioxanul-1,4 a fost ntlnit n 22% dintre produse. Acesta este cu adevrat un motiv de ngrijorare. Agenia de Protecie Ecologic clasific dioxanul ca un posibil carcinom.

Ce trebuie s faci Prima linie n ceea ce privete aprarea este prevenirea. F orice i st n putin s evii ca aceti compui chimici s intre n contact cu pielea ta.

Mnnc substane nutritive protectoare. Multe din substanele chimice duntoare din amponuri i din produsele de ngrijire corporal au un efect oxidant, care poate afecta celulele, esuturile i organele prin determinarea apariiei inflamaiei cronice i a leziunilor radicalilor liberi. Antioxidanii care combat aceste efecte sunt n specialvitamina C, vitamina E, vitamina A i beta-caroten, acidul alfa lipoic i altele. Fructele de pdure proaspete, nucile, legumele crucifere i colorate, i numeroase ierburi i condimente sunt de asemenea bogate n antioxidani. Adaug suplimente botanice. Calendula, caprifoi, astragalus i rdcina de Rehmania pot ajuta la protejarea pielii de iritaii i alte leziuni. Calendula i caprifoiul sunt flori i sunt de obicei infuzate n ap fierbinte pentru a face ceai. Astragalus i Rehmania sunt rdcini, fiind de cele mai multe ori pisate i amestecate cu ap, sau adugate ntr-o capsul sau o form de tablet, mpreun cu alte ierburi. Calendula i caprifoiul sunt utilizate i pentru a alina pielea iritat i inflamat. Folosirea ierburilor att pe cale oral, ct i aplicate direct pe piele, poate furniza numeroase beneficii de sntate. Apelai la detoxifiere. Odat ce substanele chimice duntoare se afl n corpul tu, este recomandat s gseti o metod pentru a le scoate din organism.

2. Ppdia (frunze i rdcin): Rdcina de ppdie furnizeaz o susinere puternic pentru curarea ficatului i a vezicii biliare, dou organe eseniale pentru detoxifiere. Frunzele ppdiei ajut la eliminarea toxinelor din vezic i tractul digestiv. Ppdia poate fi mncat crud sau gtit, ingerat sub form de suplimente, sau but ca i ceai.

3. Semine de armurariu: Seminele plantei conin silimarin, un compus natural careprotejeaz i detoxifiaz ficatul. Armurariul spriijin sntatea vezicii biliare, n timp ce furnizeaz beneficii antioxidante i antiinflamatoare. Cel mai adesea, armurariul este luat ca i supliment. 4. Usturoiul: Usturoiul conine muli compui sulfuroi i alte componente active care sprijin detoxifierea, eliminarea metalelor grele i o sntate imun general.Usturoiul poate fi consumat crud sau gtit.
