• A more efficient HEART.  With increased activity, your heart muscle beats harder and your pulse increases.  It becomes a stronger muscle and takes and beats out more blood per beat  =  more efficient heart.  A slower pulse at Rest and with Activity.  It uses oxygen more efficiently with its denser cardiac capillaries; it's bigger; it recovers quicker.
• More receptive BLOOD VESSELS.  When they heat up, they dilate to let more blood through and control blood pressure.  With regular exercise, you build denser capillary beds and pass more oxygen and carbon dioxide - blood vessels havemore efficient diffusion and are more receptive to activity.
• Stronger LUNGS.  With activity, breathing becomes faster, deeper - increasing the rate and capacity of both oxygen taken into the blood and carbon dioxide breathed out.  Functional muscles working the lungs become more effective.  Lungs become stronger and build denser alveoli beds which increases lung capacity and gaseous exchange.  Lungs recover quicker after activity.  You breathe slower and deeper at rest and at exercise.
• Stronger more efficient MUSCLES.  With activity, muscles heat up, increasing their core temperature as more energy is being burnt; size and suppleness increase.  Develop more capillary beds, become bigger and stronger, burns more fuel (calories) even while resting - without changing what you eat and drink.  Have a leaner muscle/fat ratio, healthier BMI (body mass index) and bodyfat %age.  Quicker muscle reaction, better co-ordination, improved nervous system.  Improved balance  (thinking ahead - when we're elderly, balance and co-ordination are really important)
• Stronger SKELETON.  With weight-bearing exercise (eg. walking, pushing), stress on your skeleton is increased.  Longer term, it becomes stronger through lines of stress: the cellular, honeycomb formation of the bone builds directionally to suit the stress lines.  The outer parts (priosteum) grow stronger; insertions to bones grow stronger; joints more stable.  More resistant to osteopososis.
• AND ... deeper, better sleep.  Calmer under stress.  Look and feel better - skin, hair, nails, teeth, eyes...  Fight off colds, allergens etc. more easily; more efficient digestion.  Liking yourself more!  Buy clothes you want with the body you've sculpted.  Wear those Speedos/cutaway swimsuit/leather trousers!  Get rid of dull, nagging procrastination that comes with Not taking regular exercise.  Less likely to get depressed, sick or diseased, or all three.  More Positive in outlook (all that oxygen feeds the brain, after all), clearer headed. 

Hello wellbeing!

"What's in your Bedroom?"

Alcohol.  A colourless, volatile flammable liquid produced by fermentation of yeast and carbohydrates.  Frequently used as a solvent.  As an ingredient is ingestible products, alcohol may cause body tissues to be more vulnerable to carcinogens (cancer-causing substances).  eg.,Mouthwashes with an alcohol content of 25% or more have been linked to mouth, tongue and throat cancers.  Air pilots especially avoid these as they need to pass an alcohol indicator test.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid.  An organic acid produced by anaerobic respiration.  Skin care products containing AHA exfoliate not only damage skin cells, but dissolve and remove the skin's outer layer as well.  Long-term skin damage may result from use.  Increased sensitivity to UVA and UVB rays.

Aluminium.  A metallic element used extensively in the manufacture of aircraft components and prosthetic devices.  Found in some antiperspirants, antacids and antiseptics, and to make cookware and cooking foil.  Aluminium has been linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Animal Fat (Tallow).  A type of animal tissue made up of oil solids or semisolids that aqre water-soluble esters of glycerol with fatty acids.  Animal fats and lye are the main ingredient in a most soaps and hair conditioners  =  a breeding ground for bacteria.

Bentonite.  A porous clay that expands to many times its dry volume as it absorbs water.  Bentonite, commonly found in many cosmetic foundations, may clog pores and suffocate skin.

Collagen.  An insoluble fibrous protein that is too large to penetrate the skin.  The collagen found in most skin care products is derived from ground up chicken feet.  This forms a layer of film that suffocates the skin.

DEA  Diethanolamine and TEA Triethanolamine.  Severe eye irritant which reacts with nitrates (preservatives in some products) to form highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.  Nitrosamines can penetrate the skin.

Dioxins (won't be on labels - this is a by-product).  A potentially carcinogenic by-product that results from the process used to bleach paper.  Diozin treated containers sometimes transfer dioxins to the product itself.  Dioxins are also formed from some ingredients reacting together as the product just sits in the bottle.

DMDM hydantoin.  Contains formaldehyde, a poisonous irritant to the skin, eyes and mucus membranes.  Carcinogenic and neuro-toxic.

Elastin of High-molecular Weight.  A protein similar to collagen that is the main component of elastin fibres.  Elastin is also derived from animal sources.  Its effect on the skin is similar to Collagen.

Flourocarbons.  A gas or liquid that can produce mild upper respiratory tract irritation.  Fluorocarbons are commonly found in hairsprays - have you found it difficult to breathe after using a hairspray, or at the hairdressers?

Formaldehyde.  A toxic gas that is an irritant and a carcinogen.  When combined with water, formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant, fixative or preservative.  Formaldehyde is found in many cosmetic products and conventional nail care systems.

Glycerin.  A syrupy liquid that is chemically produced by combining water and fat.  Glycerin is used as a solvent and plasticiser.  Unless the humidity of the air is 65%, glycerin draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin and holds it on the surface, which dries the skin from the inside out.  Check your skin lotions.

Kaolin.  A fine white clay used in making porcelain.  Like bentonite, kaolin smothers and weakens the skin.

Lanolin.  A fatty substance extracted from wool, which is commonly found in cosmetics and lotions.  Lanoliin is a common skin sensitiser that can cause allergic reactions, such as skin rashes.

Lye.  A highly concentrated watery solution of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydrosinde.  Lye is combined with animal fats to make bars of soap, which may corrode and dry out the skin.

Mineral Oil (also known as Parfinum Liquidum).  A derivative of crude oil (petroleum) that is used industrially as a cutting fluid and lubricating oil.  Mineral Oil forms an oily film over the skin to lock in moisture, toxins and wastes, but hinders normal skin respiration by keeping oxygen out.

Petrolatum.  A petroleum based grease that is used industrially as a grease component.  Petrolatum exhibits many of the same potentially hamful properties as Mineral Oil.

Phenylene-diamines.  Carcinogenic properties.  Implicated in contact dermatitis.

Propylene Glycol.  A cosmetic form of mineral oil found in automatic brake and hydraulic fluid and industrial antifreeze.  In skin and hair products, propylene glycol works as a humecent, which is a substance that retains the moisture content of skin or cosmetic products by preventing the escape of moisture or water.  Material Safety Data Sheets warn users to avoid skin contact with propylene glycol as this strong skin irritant can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

Sodium Hydroxide.  Corrosive.  An eye, skin and respitatory irritant.  Used industrially in drain and oven cleaners, but also found in moisturisers and hair care products.  Corrosive to skin in even dilute solutions.  Can burn eyes, skin and internal organs once absorbed. 

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS).  An anionic surfectant used in cosmetics and industrial chemicals as a cleansing agent.  Used as a thickener and foaming agent in shampoos, toothpastes and cleansers, and as a wetting agent in garage floor cleaners, engine degreasers and car cleaning products.  SLS is used around the world in clinical studies as a skin irritant.  High levels of skin penetration may occur at even low concentrations.  Studies have shown SLS to have a degenerative effect on the cell membrane due to its protein denaturing properties.  It can also maintain residual levels in major organs of the body from skin contact.  Carciniogenic nitrates can form in the manufacturing of SLS or by its combination of other nitrogen bearing ingredients within a formulation, creating a nitrosating agent.

Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES).  SLES is the alcohol form (ethoxylated) form of SLS.  It has higher foaming qualities and is slightly less irritating, but may cause more drying.  May also cause potentially carcinogenic formulations of nitrates, or nitrosating agents, reacting with other ingredients.  Look out for SLES in some baby and childcare products!

Talc.  A soft grey-green mineral used in  some personal hygiene and cosmetic products.  Inhaling talc can cause lung disease.  This substance is recognised as a potential carcinogen.  Routine application of talc in the genital area is associated with a three- to four-fold increase in ovarian cancer.
