How To Protect Hair From Damage?

January 24, 2018 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Hair is part of the image. Hair guards us against cold and heat. How do you protect hair from damage? Nowadays, we encounter and experience more harmful factors such as acid rain, unpredictable changes in temperatures, the lack of proper nutrition, and polluted air and water.

Take care of your hair

We can take care of hair in the same way as we watch after our bodies and minds.

However, people come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. Hair is not an exception. Compare Asians and Europeans, Native Americans, and people from New Zealand. The care for different hair can have many variations. However, natural products never will harm but will help.

Hair does not like direct sun and cold. With the fast temperature change, the dry air can damage the outer layers. Tight bandana headbands or rubber fixations can break hair.

You can think and wonder why my friend has no problems with hair or why hair becomes thinner with age. It depends on many factors, such as genes, environment, and nutrition.

We are different and unique

I wondered why people living on different continents have different hair. Nature is thousands of times brighter and knows how to protect us. African people have curly hair. They brought these traits to other continents. It is in their genes. Curly hair protects from heat.

How does it happen?

Curly hair creates a layer between the head and the surface of the hair. The air is more cooling by the head and does not let overheat so as fast as it would for people with straight hair. It is astonishing how the environment shapes us.

How to protect hair from damage?

Nutrition

People who get vitamins, proteins, enzymes, and minerals from food can reap the benefits of proper nutrition. Organic food and supplements provide the needed material for the growth and excellent appearance of hair.

Care of hair

Protection from heat, sun, and cold makes a difference. Hair does not like constant changes in temperature.

Chemicals in dyes can influence hair damage. Fortunately, there are plenty of colors nowadays which are enriched with vitamins. Beauty companies invent new products that benefit informed consumers.

When you go to a hairdresser, you must ask what products they use. Fewer chemicals are in beauty products, and less harm your hair will get.

There are significant factors to keep your hair happy.

Water

Water used for showering and washing hair can be full of chemicals. Chlorine in the water makes hair dry. Chlorine makes the skin itchy and irritant. Besides, you can get dandruff. It is advisable to use filters in a showerhead. Water-free of other stuff such as chlorine will make hair clean.

How can you protect your hair and skin in the shower?

Using shower filters. The Pure Earth company makes KDF shower filters. (www.pure-earth.com)
Radiant Wash shower filters are filled with vitamin C. It sounds like the trick, but vitamin C converts chlorine to pure salt.

Masks and treatments

There are plenty of costumes made by beauty companies. However, home remedies can provide the same and better results without harming health.

You know that the FDA does not test beauty products, do you? It means that consumers must be attentive and careful with choices regarding their health. Chemicals can go into your skin and give unwanted problems such as allergies or rashes.

What does it mean? We can use home remedies from our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

For example, onion. Maybe you do not like the smell and the taste, but this vegetable is full of benefits. The sulfur does tricks.

The mask with onion overnight can make a difference.

How to do it

Pick an onion
Cut into small pieces
Put everything on the excellent cotton cloth and wrap it around your head. Try not to scatter pieces.
Use a few more cotton pieces to hold everything together warm
You can put a wool cap on the head for the whole time.

It is beneficial to hair to have onion throughout the whole night. One thing if you sleep not alone, your partner cannot be happy with the smell. I parade with onion on my hair during the day when nobody is home — peace of mind.

In the morning, you remove the neon and clothes.

To remove the smell of onion, you can use lemon juice or vinegar. After rinsing with it, the hair will smell fresh.

Sesame oil treatment

It works perfectly for thin and tired hair.

The recipe:

Two yolks
One teaspoon of honey
Two teaspoons of sesame oil

I use organic ingredients, mixing them in a bowl with a spoonful until everything becomes one smooth liquid mass. I apply it to clean hair, carefully spreading and watching that good stuff covers and does not drop on the floor or clothes. Later on, I wrap it with a cotton scarf or light towel and cover it with a warm cap to keep it for a half hour. Later on, I rinse and dry it without the fan.

The help of herbs

The famous Maria Treben, a world-renowned herbalist, offers simple recipes for improving hair quality and prevention offers.

For hair growth

Burdock root rinse

The recipe

Soak 4 oz of burdock root in cold water for twelve hours
Warm up the infusion and strain it
Wash hair using Castile soap with half of the liquid.
Rinse the soap out with the other half of the infusion.

Nettle rinse

The stinging nettle is an old remedy to promote hair growth and strengthen them.

The recipe

Ten handfuls of fresh stinging nettles pare ut in a saucepan covered with one gallon of water
Heat the water, but do not boil it
Let nettles stay for five minutes
Strain them and use the liquid to wash your hair

Hair loss

For me, the onion is a first helper. However, Maria Treben offers a couple of recipes for hair loss that are easy to follow and apply.

Walnut leaf lotion

Chop two full teaspoons of walnut leaves
Pour hot water into the cup with walnut leaves
Let’s stay for half of a minute
Strain the liquid
Massage the lotion into your scalp

Wild Chicory juice for loss of eyebrow hair and eyelashes

Chew wild chicory stalk
Apply the juice from it with fingers to the eyebrows and eyelashes

Conclusion

Hair needs attention as everything in our bodies and around us. How todo protect hair from damage? First, do not hurt them, exposing them to direct sun and cold or rain. You never know what falls from the sky. Acid rain is the more common thing nowadays.

Second, watch your diet. Junk food does not have vital nutrients. Hair needs minerals, vitamins, proteins, and enzymes.

Third, take good care of them by using safe beauty products and washing with water without chemicals.

Why Are Organic Products More Expensive?

November 6, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Why are organic products more expensive if compared with conventional production? Processed food stays on the shelves for a few months or longer. Organic food has vital nutrients but spoils faster because it is chemical-free. Most people do not choose natural products because they are afraid that the money spent will not bring any results.

Why are organic products more expensive?

Organic products are no exception when it comes to higher prices. Quality products cost more. Why?

Materials are expensive, such as fertilizers or clean water.
The time to produce is long
Quality products cannot be created in significant quantities
Organic and quality products require plenty of human resources

Everything adds up. The price goes up. Imagine what you want: strawberries without chemicals. You need to mineralize the soil. You cannot use pesticides. Somebody needs to pull weeds out, pick them, then place them in boxes without crushing them. Farmers have enormous expenses, and the price of products goes up.

It is different from strawberries, which grow in significant fields. Pesticides sprayed from airplanes, water quality questionable, automated picking saves time and money.

Organic products require constant supervision, lab checking, and avoiding the usage of chemicals. It increases costs.

What do you get in the end?

Organic strawberries melt in the mouth, smell sweet, and do not last long.

Conventional strawberries are hard to bite. Most people use a knife to cut them and put some white sugar on the top. The warning sign about washing a few times the production reminds us that berries still contain chemicals.

The impact of chemicals

Chemicals from production reach bodies. It does not matter how well we would wash them. Why? The plant or fruit gets chemicals from the soil. The soil got pesticides when plants were sprayed. Farmers want to grow produce that is pleasing to the eye and does not spoil so fast.

Toxins are not suitable for us. They interfere with the body’s metabolism and can impact the next generations.

Bodies recognize and use minerals for building replenishment minerals. Absorption is a big deal. Toxins which are foes and not natural, can deposit in tissues and organs.

When you have toxins in your body, you need to have detoxification. Who does perform it? Some people do not have time; some of them do not care; some of us do not know about the importance of cleaning the body from toxins.

Scientist and doctor Samuel Epstein stated that cancer is the consequence of environmental pollution. When we get chemicals with products, we increase the chance of catching horrific diseases.

The bright side of organic

I see a few good things happen if people choose organic production.

People would eat less because organic products cost more.

People would be conscious of what they eat. When you pay the price, you are more attentive about what you choose and why.

People would lose weight. There are no fillers, preservatives, or additives.

People would be energized and happier.

People would save money in the long run. Why? Organic food keeps you in shape and gives you more needed nutrients. You will skip medication because you will be in better condition.

From the community perspective, you will support farmers and the environment.

Conclusion

Organic food is a lot more expensive because it requires more taking care of it.
Organic food brings benefits and does not harm humans
Ecological food benefits the environment and growers.

How about you? What would you like to choose: organic food or conventional? I would be glad to hear from you.

Fast Food with Antibiotics

September 29, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Fast food is harmful. Fast food contains antibiotics. Fast food with antibiotics does not bring benefits — chemicals are used in animals like chicken, beef, and pork. Restaurants serving fast food promised to get rid of chicken full of antibiotics. However, restaurants are stuck with meat and pork, which is full of antibiotics.

You would ask why animals need antibiotics. Antibiotics prevent cows and pigs from diseases, rapid growth, and hormones.

People who use antibiotics weaken their immune systems. The good bacteria in the intestine start to disappear. Can the food not be adequately digested? What happens? Diarrhea and weakness bother us.

There is an escape from this situation. Proper rest, an organic diet, minerals, and probiotics can make a difference.

What happens in farms?

Animals live in crowded conditions. They get food full of antibiotics and hormones. They do not see the sun or breathe polluted air. Individuals who operate this business are concerned about weight gain during shorter periods.

Animals do not get probiotics. Nobody cares about well-being. Of course, highly praised animals such as horses that bring results and money for owners are treated differently.

Unfortunately, farm animals have other destinies: after standing in crowded farms, without fresh air and activity, fed with antibiotics, they travel to the table, nicely pressed between buns and topped with ketchup. Hamburger anyone?

Why do quick-serving restaurants not serve antibiotic-free meat?

I had the same question, but later on, I returned to the same pattern: money. Antibiotic-free meat is expensive. To grow animals and birds without hormones and antibiotics takes time and plenty of expenses. You need to give different food, provide space, let freely roam as chickens do, and offer supplements.

I hate to compare with people, but the comparison is here. Watch people who consistently eat in fast food chains and individuals who prepare food at home, go to farmers’ markets, watch their diet, and exercise.

Do we have any choices?

According to Chicago Tribune reporter Samantha Bomkamp, there are some changes.

Fourteen of the top 25 chain restaurants have taken action on chicken, up from nine a year ago, according to the third annual Chain Reaction report, which grades companies’ policies. But there have been no new commitments to curb the use of antibiotics in beef and pork, the report found.

You see that there is progress with chicken, but unfortunately, not with beef and pork. This article brings an objective perspective to everybody who still thinks fast food can be healthy and beneficial daily.

Our choices are enormous because we can think about what we eat. We can look for information and talk with a knowledgeable health practitioner, asking for advice regarding nutrition and lifestyle.

Why is full of antibiotics food not good?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ” at least 2 million Americans become sick, and 23,000 die yearly from antibiotic-resistant infections.” It is a crime.

Consumers Union stated that seventy percent of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are fed to healthy animals on industrial farms. When people consume food with antibiotics, they lose the ability to fight real diseases because their bodies are familiar with antibiotics. Medications can not fight infections quickly if something happens.

Conclusion

We must think about how we lead our lives. We must check our habits and turn to safe alternatives. Nothing will be hurt if we prepare food at home and bring something of it to a job. We will win from this situation. At once, fast food is okay. However, eating junk food daily creates dangerous situations, as the Chicago Tribune article shows.

What Is Coronary Calcium Scan

August 4, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

What is a Coronary Calcium Scan? A coronary Calcium Scan is a test performed by a CT machine to look for traces of calcium on the walls of coronary heart arteries. Excess calcium harms the whole body. It deposits in the soft tissues and on the walls of blood vessels. Why does it happen? Calcium does not dissolve in the blood. It flows around making problems.

Who and what can solve this problem?

Magnesium. A sufficient amount of magnesium solves calcium and regulates the amount incoming and leaving the cell. Magnesium prevents calcium from overflooding cells and messing up heart arteries and soft tissues.

Why do individuals not get magnesium?

The answer must come from health professionals. Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. mentioned that medical schools do not provide knowledge about nutrition and the benefits of supplements such as minerals.

How is a beneficial coronary calcium scan?

Pros

A coronary Calcium Scan is excellent in the case of an emergency.

Cons

It is expensive. The scan cost for you or your insurance company is over $399.
If calcium is found in arteries, you will get plenty of drugs with many side effects.
With the can comes the radiation. You will get the amount equivalent to 30 chest X-rays.
Radiation accumulates in the body

Can individuals be well without a scan?

Yes, they can with the help of minerals. Sufficient magnesium solves calcium quickly. It does not wander around looking for what to harm.

Dr.Carolyn Dean mentions in her books and blogs that without magnesium, calcium will flood arteries and soft tissues.

The body needs so little; just take magnesium, a good one, absorbable at 100 percent you will feel well. Unfortunately, many of us do not know healthy options for how to prevent disorders and help our bodies stay healthy.

Overall, it is strange when studies show that magnesium helps prevent calcium buildup in arteries and soft tissues. Dr. Carolyn Dean, in her book The Magnesium Miracle, provides hundreds of facts, cases, and studies from other researchers and doctors.

The importance of magnesium

Magnesium is vital for our bodies because we do not get it with diet. Besides, stress, environmental issues, and drugs deplete magnesium.

Magnesium is a simple mineral found in Nature. Nobody can patent it. It means that magnesium can not be classified as a drug. I do not know how much big Pharma could lose if people start to look after themselves by consuming the right food and living healthy, proper lifestyles.

There are plenty of emergencies where help from doctors is vital. If magnesium can solve so many problems, why do people need to take expensive chemicals?

It is up to you, dear reader. One thing that I know is that information from dependable sources is worth gold.

Imagine if we would know about prevention, health, and the proper healthy lifestyle. We would save money and worry about problems associated with disturbed well-being.

Conclusion

A coronary Calcium Scan is a painful procedure performed with powerful machines. You will get plenty of radiation, a fatty bill for service, and plenty of chemicals to “improve the situation.”

Magnesium is a perfect solution because magnesium is sufficient in the body; there is no need to worry about calcium buildup.

Harms from the Environment

May 27, 2017 By Nemira 6 Comments

The environment can heal us or destroy our health. Harms from the environment are a common thing nowadays. Water pollution, the chemical explosion at work and home, and polluted air are a few factors that can quickly throw us off balance.

Harms from the environment cause chronic diseases

According to The Magnesium Miracle book, the World Health Organization stated that 80 percent of cancer originated due to a dangerous environment. It was in 1989. Do you think that something has changed?

At the cancer conference, Dr.Samuel Epstein, a professor and an authority on the toxic and carcinogenic effects of environmental pollution, mentioned that we all carry more than 500 various chemical compounds in our cells. These chemicals did not exist before 1920, and what scares me is that there is no safe dose for any of them.

What do these chemicals do for us?

Harms from the environment can stop the activity of enzymes. Enzymes participate in the body’s metabolism. Many functions, such as detoxification, energy production, and nerve protection, can be slowed down.

We have chemicals everywhere. Household goodies such as cleaning agents, renovation or remodeling materials, chemicals used for soil, plants, and animal protection and production increase, chemicals in water, and residue from power stations and factories harm the environment.

Electromagnetic pollution has become a threat to all living beings thanks to the push for the development of wireless technologies and the 5G network.

Usually, people can not escape from areas where they live and have houses and connections with communities. Not everybody lives by the lake, river, public park, or forest.

We can use it for protection from harm to the environment, air purifiers, genuine water filters, organic food, and organic supplements.

How can we protect ourselves from environmental harm?

At first, we can look at the items and food in our house or apartment. There is plenty of advice about the safety of cleaning agents and choices regarding safe food. For example, We can use baking soda in many ways. It is a reliable solution for everybody who wants to eliminate household hazardous chemicals.

Magnesium is a mineral that helps detoxify the body from heavy metals and chemicals.

Lead, mercury, and cadmium are heavy metals that have a cumulative effect on organs. Magnesium helps eliminate metals through urine.

I wonder why conventional medicine does not recognize environmental harm and its effects from it. I hope that medical people will come to their senses because it touches many human beings.

We can use for protection from harm to the environment air purifiers, genuine water filters, organic food, organic supplements, and natural materials such as cotton, bamboo, and wool for our clothing, bedding, and household.

Removing harm to the environment

Harms of the environment can be eliminated and eased with the help of a proper diet, detoxification with magnesium, clean water, and green drinks such as organic vegetables. When you use organic food and supplements, you help the body remove toxins.

The dry sauna is efficient for people who suffer from environmental harm. Our skin is the largest organ. Maybe you heard the story about the boy painted in gold as part of the celebration in Ancient Greece. The boy died pretty soon because his skin could not breathe.

When we use the dry sauna, our skin perspires and is removed with sweat toxins. The heat increases metabolism and burns off calories. The temperature in saunas can be regulated from low to moderate.

Far-infrared saunas eliminate toxins, too.

Take care of yourself

Everybody who wants to get rid of problems associated with the environment can help themselves using simple techniques such as magnesium, organic food, clean water, clean surroundings, items at home, and saunas.

How about you? Do you feel the impact of harm to the environment? How do you protect yourself?
