Think Fast: What’s the body’s biggest organ?

You might be surprised to find out it’s the skin, which you might not have thought of as an organ.

Our skin has many roles in protecting the body. It protects against invasive pathogens and excessive water loss. Its other functions are insulation, temperature regulation, sensation, and the protection of certain vitamins. And one other minor job it has is to keep all our insides in side of us, like muscles, tissues, organs, and blood etc. 

Many of us get annoyed when we start sweating on the treadmill, in front of an audience or on a hot day. However, sweating is less of a nuisance — and more of a convenience — than you might think. For instance, sweating regulates your body temperature in high heat and emotional situations. In fact, just a small bead of sweat can chill a liter of blood by one degree. And, it can lead to healthier skin. Here’s how.  Would you believe that 30 percent of the body’s toxins are eliminated through sweating?

This allows the lymph glands to function properly and help to maintain good health.

 This is one reason you do not want to ever stop the natural process of sweating.  I know what you are thinking… Who wants those wet stains on their shirt or blouse?

The fact is that through sweating, your body is also eliminating toxins from the body in a natural way.  If you use an antiperspirant (anti-perspire) then you are blocking an exit from the body for toxins. if they can’t get out one way they will seek out another way and this could lead to some unpleasant side effects. Some of these product ingredients have been implicated in contributing to our overall exposure to toxic chemicals, which can lead to the development of chronic diseases. Did you ever think about the connection between this and breast tissue and Lymph system? All situated in very close proximity.

 So what is the solution? In order to minimize our exposure to toxins, it is important to find personal care products that are effective and yet contain as few ingredients as possible. And of course, those ingredients must be 100% safe.

So take regular showers with natural products and use a natural deodorant.

Did you know?

Traditional deodorants and antiperspirants use many different chemicals such as synthetic oils (can stain clothing), alcohols (can burn and irritate the skin), emulsifiers and waxes (can clog pores), perfumes (can cause severe allergic reactions) and solvents and propellants (can add toxins to the environment or damage the ozone layer).
