BEAUTY IS A LIFESTYLE THING

I have one of these coming and I cannot wait. I have purchased a few different types of hair towels, however, they successfully failed at doing their job.

The most common form is called dementia. Dementia affects things like memory, reasoning, thinking and cognitive functioning. It is a complex disease. It is characterized by the accumulation of two types of protein in the brain: Tangle (tau) and Plaques (amyloid-beta). Science is still not sure why that only 1% of people afflicted have gene relation only (meaning all genes that relate to amyloid beta production are present).
