If you wouldn't put it in your body, why put it on your body!

Parabens why they are bad !

How they do damage & the link to breast cancer.

Our skin is the largest organ in the body, it is living & breathing so when we apply products they are absorbed into the skin and into our blood stream.

Our cells, I like to look at them as Pac-Men, float around in our body  munching up vitamins, minerals & hormones, certain hormones like estrogen, all these things are what the cells need to stay healthy & grow.

Parabens a synthetic used to preserve skin care products actually mimics the female hormone estrogen. So when the cells comes across the parabens it thinks it is the hormone estrogen & gobbles it up, for the cell it is to late the damage is done.

So the cell will die off  and be filtered through our filter systems in the body know as the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system works with our immune system. Lymph nodes are found in different parts of the body, one in particular is the axillia lymph node found at the side of our armpit a common place for cancerous lumps. With the constant use of products with parabens & all the other toxins we put in our bodies these filters (lymph nodes) will wear down causing these systems to become unbalanced. This in turn causes unbalance through out our whole body leaving us vulnerable to the attack of disease.

I understand that poor diet, our emotional state & our family history can contribute to cancer so why add another detrimental thing (Parbens) into the mix.We should love ourselves & our bodies a lot more than we do.

So have a look at what you are using it may tell you it can fight the signs of aging & wrinkles, but will all that matter if you have to fight for your life.

A little saying to remember next time you buy your body care products, if you wouldn't put it in your body, why put it on your body!

Have a great day!
