It’s been a while since I’ve shared links to interesting stories from other sites. So here’s a long due update of things worth checking out.

FutureDerm blog takes a look at this in their post Sweat It Out: Does Sweat Detoxify?.

Furthermore, sweating can dehydrate you and impair the functioning of those organs.

• Oil pulling. Does it have any merit? BeautyBrains blog answers.
