Recent piece by Laurie McGinley in
the Washington Times is important from the point of general health. The
National Cancer Institute study found that people who consistently smoked an
average of less than one cigarette daily over their lifetime had a 64% higher
risk of earlier death, and those smoking 1-10 cigarettes daily had 87 percent
greater risk.
In other words, as NCI researcher Maki
Inoue Choi observed, “The message is
that there is no safe level of smoking.” The study analyzed data for almost
300,000 adults in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. Participants were age 59
to 82 at the start of the study, which found that health risks were lower for
those who had quit, especially at earlier ages.
There have been frequent findings by
scientists that smoking damages lungs, increases risk of strokes and other
cardiovascular diseases.
Engaged in the skin health business
for years, the R&D team at Herbally Radiant has been cautioning its
customers to abstain from smoking. Smoking adversely affects the state of skin’s
health in many ways. Smokers are four times as likely as non-smokers to feel
unrested after a night’s sleep. Adequate
sleep is an important factor in promoting freshness of skin. To create the
calming and relaxed effect on skin, Herbally Radiant uses some Essential Oils.
But smoking adversely interferes with this.
Smoking also leads to inflammation
and decreases immune function of the body. This again plays out against the
skin. It enhances the scaly skin condition. The risk of psoriasis goes up by
twenty per cent, even second hand smoking during pregnancy has adverse
consequences.
At Herbally Radiant, experts have
conclusively found that smoking leads to premature aging signs. The deepening
of black spots under eyes is another adverse factor.
So, apart from nutritious balanced
food, abstaining from smoking is equally important when it comes to preserving
the health of skin, and preventing premature aging signs reflected by
increasing lines and wrinkles.
