Antiperspirants - The Dangers of Sweat Prevention
The bodyhas a few areas that it uses to push out toxins. Most people produce sweat under their armpits as well as from their back, groin, head, hands and feet. The body’s toxins are purged in the form of perspiration. As the name clearly indicates, these antiperspirants prevent us from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body from purging toxins from underneath the arms.
These toxins do not just simply disappear. When toxins begin to concentrate in any one area it can result in cell mutation. Cell mutations are in fact a form of cancer. The Antiperspirants did a good job in preventing us from sweating, however, with this information, you have to ask yourself, is it worth the risk? Even though we can sweat from places all over our body, a build up of toxins can result from plugging up any areas that our bodies are trying to purge these toxins from.
In addition to stopping toxins from being sweat out of the body, antiperspirants contain Aluminium Chlorohydrate, as an active ingredient. The suspicion of aluminium as one of the contributing factors to Alzheimer’s started back in the 1950’s. In more recent years it has also been related Breast Cancer. One of the ways that women may increase their risk is by the application of an antiperspirant right after shaving because shaving causes very tiny nicks in the skin that allow these chemicals an easy entrance into the body.
At this point in time, there may not be any hard data that says using antiperspirants can put us at great risk for developing cancer. However, just because people are not dropping dead instantly from smoking, it does not mean they should not smoke. It’s time to use our heads. Nothing good ever comes from the prevention of a good flushing out of any bad… uh… material.
This we cannot deny. Chemicals are bad for our bodies. The more we avoid them, the better off we’ll be. So, now you’re probably wondering what you can do about those unsightly underarm sweat spots. I guess if you really have a problem, and you made the decision not to use antiperspirants to prevention your sweating you could bring along several shirts or blouses to change into. Maybe your problem isn’t sweat, but more along the lines of body odor.
Well, if it’s body odor, you’re in for some good news. Try using baking soda under those armpits. Yep, you read that right. I was shocked at how well this worked for me and other members of my family willing to try it. In fact baking soda works far better than any other deodorant I’ve ever used. Just don’t put it on too heavily. My friend developed a bit of a rash at first. I told her to brush it off after patting it on. So, she stopped using it for just a few days, then started to apply it again after her rash subsided. To her delight, it worked just fine and she has not had any more rash problems.
