Foods That Cause Hair Loss

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

There are many reasons for hair loss. Hair loss could be due to stress, medication, hormonal imbalance etc. DHT and male pattern baldness are closely related to each other. It is normal to lose some hair each day. The body re-grows hair to restore the hair loss. Nearly 10% of the hair follicles on the scalp remain in dormant phase after hair fall. A hair analysis can provide a picture of your mineral status and pick up any exposure to toxic metals.

For men, a low-fat diet may help slow down the balding process. On some level, male pattern baldness might be tied to increased testosterone levels during puberty, which are often the result of a high-fat diet or eating too many animal products.

Anxiety Panic Attacks An Inescapable Feeling

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Anyone who has endured an anxiety panic attack will know how they feel and what an extreme burden they are. I don’t think there is anything on earth quiet like an anxiety panic attack. Not only the first one you have but the others that follow completely shut you down, stopping you in your tracks. Occasionally there is an overwhelming feeling that the room is spinning, or everything starts to look cloudy and fuzzy. Your body starts to tingle, your heart starts racing, your breathing changes, your stomach tightens, your legs go weak and start shaking and you start sweating on your forehead hands and feet. At the time it feels like you’re about to die or that something dreadful is going to happen. Even when you try and tell yourself that nothing is wrong and that it is just anxiety, it really doesn’t change anything and it certainly doesn’t help. The feeling is inescapable and totally overwhelming that no rational or positive thought can conquer it. I know when I am having an anxiety panic attack; I like to go home straight away so that I don’t totally break down.

Workout Nutrition - What’s Up?

Monday, October 29th, 2007
Pre- and post-workout nutrition is all the rage these days, and for good reason. For some, however, it’s become more than a science—it’s become their religion, or perhaps just a place to focus their OCD-like tendencies. Regardless, people have taken the topic of pre- and post-workout nutrition to a level that is not justified by the research, or at least not confirmed by the research that currently exists.

Readers should realize I may have my membership card to the Bodybuilding Nutrition Guru Society torn up and thrown at me for what I am about to share in this article…

As expected, supplement companies—and self–proclaimed ‘net guru types—have used what does exist for research to convince everyone that that if they don’t take in exactly 98.7 grams of carbohydrates and 37.2 grams of protein within 28 seconds after they leave the gym, their muscles will be attacked by every muscle-hating hormone they possess in their body by second 29; with the prior year of hard work in the gym totally wasted by second 30!

Are you concerned about workout nutrition and all the “hype” that goes along with it?

Symptoms of Chronic Heartburn

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

Are you one of the millions of people that suffer from chronic heartburn every day? Do you dread mealtime in fear of having to deal with heartburn afterwards? If so, then you are not alone. Chronic heartburn is a condition that occurs when the stomach acid used in digestion travels back up the esophagus and sometimes also into the windpipe. This is a very uncomfortable feeling that can cause chest pain and make you feel like you are choking. Many people will wake up during the night with chronic heartburn because it occurs most when you are in bed or bending over. It can also happen when you are standing or sitting as well.

What you eat does affect heartburn and how serious the condition can be. Certain beverages and foods help to relax the esophageal sphincter muscles and can increase chronic heartburn. For instance, beverages that contain caffeine, citrus juices and alcohol increase heartburn. Foods such as chocolate, tomatoes, fatty foods and fried foods also increase heartburn symptoms but what you eat will not be the only cause of this condition. Eating large meals increase your risk of having chronic heartburn which is why it is suggested you eat several small meals a day. You should also avoid skipping meals and eating within a few hours of going to bed.

Integrated Health Care - The Best Of Both Worlds

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

I saw a television show, where one Surgeon (Advanced and Hopeless Cancer Patients) used these Singing bowls to relax his patients. Also, to help for his patients to overcome their fear. And, he has some amazing results doing this. The new health road to take is now called “integrated health care”.

These Singing bowls are amazing. Come check out the whole story and also see a video on this information site.

I would think that anything (sensible) that helps get rid of fear, a crippling emotion, is worth a try.

Bringing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) out of the closet

Saturday, October 27th, 2007

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms

I was surprised recently when watching the Tom Hanks movie “The Ladykillers” to see one of the characters suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Of course he was shown in a humorous way that, in the middle of the big heist, he had to run to the toilet with diarrhea. But anyone who has IBS knows it is not a laughing matter. Irritable bowel syndrome may be one of the most common and least understood medical problems in North America. It has been treated with folk remedies such as apple cider vinegar, but more modern treatments, such as the product Bowtrol, are more likely to be effective. There is a new web site devoted to information about IBS symptoms and how they can be relieved.

Visit the IBS Symptoms website for details on Bowtrol.

Trans Cranial Magnetic Stimulation for Bipolar Depression

A popular alternative therapy for bipolar depression is TMS (Trans cranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatments.

Does Anti-Aging ProPLEXIN-CR Skin Cream Remove Wrinkles?

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Ask anybody older than 30 what worries them about getting older and they’ll probably say the look of aging, especially skin wrinkles. The Anti-Aging Research web site has looked into an anti-wrinkle product, ProPLEXIN-CR, that treats wrinkled skin without any invasive action — no injections and no plastic surgery. Although it’s marketed to women, there is no reason why men could not also use this skin cream. The makers of ProPLEXIN-CR say it visibly reduces skin wrinkles in 14-days, and they guarantee those results. We hope the editors will test this skin care product and announce the results in a follow-up posting.
You can see the new report on ProPLEXIN-CR skin cream now at the Anti-Aging Research web site.

Signs Of Pregnancy Do you Have Them?

Friday, October 26th, 2007

I happened to be joking around the other day with my friend and told her feeling tired a lot was one of the signs of pregnancy. She stared at me with a look of total surprise and asked me if I believed it may be a possibility that she may indeed be pregnant. We both began laughing at the inquiry and she got very embarrassed. I then asked if she had any of the additional signs of pregnancy like feeling nauseated early in the morning or around different smells or if she had been feeling overly emotional a lot of the time. She said she had all of these symptoms and that her last period was different in that it was very light and lasted for two days only. She had been taking birth control but decided to go off them last month as her partner and she were ready to start a family. She had put down all the symptoms to being off the birth control pill she was on. She didn’t believe she would get pregnant immediately as so many of her girlfriends had been trying for months and months without any success.
