Pesticides and Chemicals - Food By Design

High salt consumption can cause hypertension, migraine headache, abnormal fluid retention, potassium loss, interfere with proper utilization of protein, and increase chances of heart disease and many other ailments. The average American consumes more than the weight of a bowling ball made of salt each year (more than 15 pounds). If you think you don't eat salt because you never eat pretzels or chips, think again before dinner.

Processed Foods

“When money speaks, the truth keeps silent.” - Russian Proverb

All the foods we need for a healthy life already exist in nature. The food industries create hype because they want us to believe these processed, enriched, enhanced, and designed foods have been engineered for our well being. These inferior, synthetic, mass produced foods may taste good, but have little or no nutritional value. The latest rip off, is the low fat or no fat foods. They are very popular because our normal diet has created so many obese people, although, the labels do not tell the whole truth.

Additionally, the Aveda line has specific natural oils to mix in with their hydrating lotion (moisturizer), called infusions. They are like using a good medicine as they have many healing and protecting benefits. A base makeup, if organic, can be used for protection also. You ask protection from what? Protection from all the pollutants our lives contain, along with protection from sun. I do recommend wearing a quality base makeup, lightly and evenly applied to the face and neck.
