What is your Hair Type?

Posted: under Health.

Everyday you see people with all color and style of hair. But did you know that you have a hair type? Yes! Not all hair has been created the same. Lets start with the basic structure of hair: 1)Hair grows from the follicle, which is long and bulbous. If you were to pull out a strand of hair you would see the bulge at the tip of the hair. The cells at the base of the follicle divide rapidly and is where you get your hair growth. 2)Each strand of hair consists of three layers, the first being ...

Garlic for Health

Posted: under Health.

Garlic is a traditional tonic in many cultures. In my teens and twenties, I was very aware that one should not eat garlic or onions out of respect for other people (e.g., bosses or potential dates). However, garlic breath does not bother me nearly so much as the foul stenches caused by tobacco use, lazy dental care, lack of exercise, obesity, and / or poor bowel regularity. I now use a lot of garlic, bought as pre-peeled cloves or dried minced chunks. I frankly like the taste. For those who ...

Free Radicals - Should I Be Concerned About Them?

Posted: under Health.

Free radicals are unstable molecules with extra "free" electrons looking for a connection. They can latch onto a cell membrane or blood vessel lining and create constant inflammation, leading to eventual damage, serious disease, and even to an early death. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that contain at least one unpaired electron that attack healthy cells. If an electron is unpaired, another atom or molecule can easily bond to it, causing a chemical reaction. Damage caused by the ...

My First Year With My "Friend" Herpes Or How I Was Re-Born A

Posted: under Health.

It was 1990, I was 24 years old and I didn't think my life could get any worse. I had just finished college and my financial situation was worse than dire. The country was in the midst of an economic depression. A long dismal winter had just given up the ghost and to top it all off I was in the middle of a horrific break-up with a vengeful girlfriend. Of course it was pathetically naive of me to think that life couldn't get any worse and life wasted no time proving that fact. My relationship ...

Soy Foods for better health

Posted: under Health.

Soyfoods aid longevity. Although a few authors dispute this, most literature found on the reputable internet sources show that traditional soyfoods, especially those with live cultures, correlate with reduced risks of various diseases without negative side effects. But the maximum benefit comes from using soy foods to replace a large fraction of the diet normally occupied by high sources of saturated fats. In other words, don't just add soymilk and soy shakes, soy based artificial cream ...

Moderate exercise is necessary for good health.

Posted: under Health.

At a minimum, walk a mile or more several times a week (or daily) and move the arms around to loosen up the joints. If you can't walk or ride a stationary bicycle, use a rowing machine, swim, or join wheel chair races. If you can do none of these things, you have my sympathy. I had a young colleague who suffered from polio in child- hood, so one leg was short and supported by a built-up shoe. One day, this person was absent from the office, because a lung had collapsed. He should at least ...

The Health Benefits of Sex

Quick quiz: Would you rather run 75 miles or have sex three times per week for a year? Research shows that both activities burn the same number of calories. (7,500, to be exact.)

In women, for example, the sexual act triggers the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin promotes feelings of affection and triggers that nurturing ...

You can search the Internet for free cures aplenty, but if you are considering home remedies for your face, especially for acne, your best free cures must be met with a very healthy degree of skepticism.

Walrus skins - It has been said that the first type of trampolining was done by the Eskimos who used to toss each other up into the air on a Walrus skin; something like the sheet used by firemen to catch people jumping out of the windows of houses which were on fire. In Anchorage Airport, Alaska, there are postcards depicting the Eskimos being tossed up in a Walrus skin.

1) Never wash your face with soap. Soap contains an astrigent that strips away moisture, therefore damages your skin eventually. 2) Always cleanse, tone and moisturize. Milky cleansers are best to use (eg. Marcelle Cleansing milk). 3) Never squeeze pimples, if you find that you're getting lots of them, forget about over the counter products.....they won't work on you, they only work on people that get a zit once in a blue moon.

How long have prescription eyeglasses been around?

From documents that were retrieved in Rome in the 13th Century, we know that prescription eyeglasses were available at that time. They were referred to as "spectacles" rather than glasses. Although we do not know for certain when prescription eyeglasses were invented, we do have proof that they did exist during this time period. A portrait done by an artist named Tomas da Modeno portrays a gentleman wearing eyeglasses. Obviously what we do not know is if they are prescription eyeglasses. There ...

Disturbed vibrations occur in the body as a precursor of illness. Vibrational healing restores the body's healthy vibrations. Essential oils can be used to balance the subtle energy flows in the body. We are surrounded by vibrations at all times. Our ears are tuned to receive sound vibrations, our eyes focus on vibrations of light which allow us to see colour, and our noses detect vibrations of aromatic molecules which allow us to become aware of scents.
