The negative effects of ultraviolet light on DNAs are very significant.
Diameter of a DNA is about 1 nano meter.
And various electromagnetic waves are falling to the DNAS from space.
Short range waves in the electromagnetic waves are,
– Gamma ray
– X-ray
– UV light.
Because they are close to the size of a DNA and injure repeatedly to DNA in a short time, they can damage DNAs.
DNAs damaged by UV light as shown above produce the wrong proteins and cells.
This can disrupt the body’s mechanisms and create cancer cells.
These short range electromagnetic waves are absorbed by
– Ozone layer
– Moisture in the air
– Sweat
– Dead skin layer
– Titanium oxide
– Zinc oxide
The UV absorbers used to protect our skin from UV rays are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Rutile titanium dioxide:
Blocks UV-A waves that penetrate deep into the dermis of skin
Zinc oxide:
Cut down on UV-B waves that can cause inflammation of the epidermis
There are two indicators of UV care effect as follows,
[SPF]: Mainly effect for UVB
[PA]: Mainly effect for UVA
The skin care industry tends to focus on how to raise these [SPF] and [PA] values.
On the other hand, there are also warnings about too high UV absorber, because too much of a UV absorber can dry out the skin and remove oil from the skin.
In fact, I myself always get skin rough when I use a sunscreen with SPF 20 or higher. Or rather, I get irritation!
More and more of our customers are like this these days.
We really want to make sure the protection of UV light, but at the same time, we have to be very careful with “Too high value UV absorber”.
Even SPF 20 UV absorber can provide about 90% UV protection.
And then a parasol is useful for additional care of your skin with as little strain as possible. I
The biggest problem is the outdoor activities. We tend to be too conscious of the effects of UV rays and use high SPF products.
We need to cleanse our skin immediately after you get home and make sure don’t leave any powder on our skin.
Anyway…
We have to find a sunscreen that considers the both of “UV risk free” and “safe for skin”. It’s going to be a good balance in our skin life all the time!
I always check for constipation during a couseling.
This is to help you realize that there is the correlation between the intestines and the skin.
Even if you have a daily defecation, you may have 2kg to 5kg of lodged stool, which causes “hidden constipation”.
Until the mid-1950s, the nutritional balance of Japanese people was mostly good.
After that, however, the balance began to break down gradually, and disordered eating habits due to changes in social life.
It is said that the amount of defecation per day in Japan is reduced to half of what it was just after the war.
Roughly half of the stool is composed of the residental bacteria and their carcasses, so a decrease in the number of stools means that the bacteria in the intestines have been decreased.
The food residue left in the intestines rots and circulates throughout the body as toxins, which have a direct effect on the skin.
In addition, improper intestinal environment is the cause of many serious diseases, such as dementia and depression.
By living in awareness of your own intestinal environment on a daily basis, you can avoid a variety of risks.
The good intestinal environment mechanism is as follows
The residental bacteria feed on dietary fiber and begin to ferment
↓
Its fermented substances stimulate intestinal peristalsis.
↓
Stool don’t stays in the intestines long time.
↓
A clean intestinal environment with a predominance of good bacteria
The key of this topic is to make sure you’re getting enough fiber in your diet!
The daily diet should include a reduction in high-protein, high-fat meat, oil and dairy products, vegetables, seafood, miso and A traditional Japanese diet with fermented foods such as pickles and fermented soybeans can help restore the balance of bacteria in the intestines. In addition, you can always regain your physical and mental health.
On the contrary, the environment in the intestines that cause bad health is the result of the post-war era’s focus on meat, eggs, milk, and processed foods (additives).
And also, if you get stress, cold, constipation, etc, the bad bacteria multiply at once and suppress the good bacteria.
Then, even the opportunistic bacteria, which had been on the side of the good bacteria, join the bad bacteria, and as the result the flora becomes even more disturbed.
In other words, “putrefaction in the intestines” means that food is broken down in the intestinal environment with a predominance of bad bacteria.
Therefore, if we want to win beauty and health, we need to make sure that our intestinal flora is always “predominantly good bacteria”. That’s all.
*****************************
Today’s society has destroyed all the germs protecting us!
The presence of the residental bacteria on the skin that makes the skin beautiful and moisturizing, but we are,
Scrubing with soap and water
Removing the residental bacteria
Destroying the keratin
And allergens came into the skin
Then the skin is dried out and becomes rough…
