Although a skin moisturizer can help protect your skin, there are some ingredients worth mentioning as avoidable. Avoid moisturizers that contain mineral oil, paraffin, or petrolatum.

These ingredients will block your pores. 

Toluene or dioxane can be fatal if ingested or promote the growth of cancer cells. Propylene glycol is used as a carrier of fragrance oils. It is also potentially dangerous. And, probably worst of all is SODIUM LAUREL, also known as lauryl sulfate.

This stuff is used in degreasers and garage floor cleaners !!!

Would you want to put lauryl sulfate on your face?

GO NATURAL.

The primary ingredients of lipstick are wax, oil, alcohol, and pigment.

Unbelievably, a woman can ingest up to 4 lbs of lipstick in a lifetime. As you eat or lick your lips, you swallow lipstick. The problem lies in the fact that some lipstick ingredients, like coal tar, can cause cancer. It is better to choose lipsticks made with natural ingredients like beeswax or candelilla wax. Candelilla wax is made from the candelilla plant.

Keep your lips natural.

Have you had your "liquid bread" today?

That's right...............BEER !!

The Trappist monks sustained themselves during lenten fasts by drinking beer. They called it "liquid bread". 

The main ingredients of beer are barley, hops, malt, and brewer's yeast. Of course, the fermentation process produces alcohol.

So, can beer be good for you?

First of all, let us emphasize that moderation is the key to enjoying the benefits of beer. One drink a day is acceptable. A glass of beer per day may increase intelligence in women. For men, 35 drinks per week are the upper limit. For women, about 25 per week. Drinking more than these amounts may have serious health implications, including liver damage.

Beer contains folate. Folate has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels. As a result, beer can lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, and lower cardiovascular disease risk. There also is evidence that drinking beer may increase bone density. Other constituents of beer include: 

• niacin
• magnesium
• potassium

BEER IS A GOOD SOURCE OF PROTEIN AND CARBOHYDRATES.

Raise a glass !!

Here's to your health !!

Not everything about Halloween is scary.

PUMPKINS ARE GOOD FOR YOU.

The word pumpkin comes from the Greek word "pepon ".

The word means "large melon ".

Pumpkins originated in Central America. The Native Americans called the fruit isqoutim squash. They used pumpkins for food and medicine. At one time, pumpkins were recommended to remove freckles and to cure snake bites.

PUMPKINS ARE A VINE CROP.

They are cucurbits.

The largest pumpkin ever grown was 1,140 pounds.

The largest pumpkin pie was over 350 pounds.

The orange color of a pumpkin gives us a clue to its' goodness

PUMPKINS CONTAIN BETA-CAROTENE.

Beta-carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the human body.

Beta-carotene is an anti-oxidant.

It helps to reduce the risk of heart disease 

and CANCER.

EAT ONE.

Stingy Jack invited the Devil for a drink. Of course, Jack had no money. He asked the Devil to turn himself into a coin. Once Jack had the coin, he put it in his pocket and didn't pay for the drinks. Jack had a cross in his pocket, and the Devil could not turn himself back into his ugly self. Jack made a deal with the Devil. He would let him go if the Devil promised to leave him alone for one year and never want HIS SOUL!!!

The Devil agreed.

A few years later, Jack tricked the Devil again.

This time, he trapped the Devil in a tree by carving across at the base of the tree.

When Jack died, neither God nor the Devil wanted his soul. Jack was forced to roam the darkness with hot coal for light. He put the coal into a turnip.

And so.......the beginning of

JACK OF THE LANTERN

JACK O' LANTERN!

Happy Halloween
