Maintaining the Flower of Youth
Look at the labels on your makeup products. If they are “made in China”, they are likely to contain lead, which is a carcinogen.
Check all makeup, lotion, and deodorant products for the ingredient, “aluminum”. Aluminum is known to cause a breach in the blood-brain barrier, an anomaly to which Alzheimer’s disease is attributed.
A well-preserved blood-brain barrier is required to protect brain cells from being damaged by neurotoxins, which accumulate and poison brain cells.
Another source of aluminum is the non-dairy creamer, Coffee-Mate. I found the Canadian version to be aluminum-free, however. Check the labels on all such products before buying. Some of the less-expensive store brands of non-dairy creamer, such as Wal-Mart and Sam’s, are free of aluminum additives (I think they are called flow-agents).
If a product contains one or both of the aforementioned ingredients, chuck it!
