I receive the AARP magazine, get discounts on various products for being advanced in age and receive social security checks every month. Some euphemists might call me a "mature adult."

 "Your lips are covered with epithelial tissue, the same sensitive mucous membrane that lines your entire digestive tract. Now, imagine for a moment what would happen if your intestines were turned inside out and exposed to hot sun, whipping wind, or blasts of cold, dry air. They might get a little chapped, yes?
When it comes to lips that are almost always chapped and dry, however, the cause may be the elements inside your body rather than those outside, says James Kennedy, D.D.S., a dentist in Littleton, Colorado.
CALCIUM, MAGNESIUM, AND FATTY ACIDS: Three's Company
Calcium is the mortar that holds cells together, in your epithelial tissue and all over your body."- Bill Gottlieb, Alternative Cures: The Most Effective Natural Home Remedies for 160 Health Problems (Get the book) |
| "But cells can't absorb the calcium they need without certain fatty acids, a component of a type of fat that's found in fish, flaxseed oil, and other Foods that might not be regular tenants of your supermarket cart.
In fact, Dr. Kennedy believes that a deficiency of fatty acids may be the most common nutritional deficiency in America. It may also be the reason that your lips are always flaking and peeling: too little means too little calcium, which in turn means that sensitive tissues like your lips can almost literally fall apart.
To counter the problem, Dr. Kennedy recommends taking 1,000 milligrams of calcium, along with 500 milligrams of magnesium to help the body use the calcium properly, twice a day on an empty stomach." - Bill Gottlieb, Alternative Cures: The Most Effective Natural Home Remedies for 160 Health Problems (Get the book) |
