4 Causes of Female Hair Loss
By James Briggs
A woman’s hair is her crowning glory. While baldness is often perceived as a man’s problem, it affects women too. It is even possible for teenage girls to experience hair growth problems. There are various reasons why this occurs. In this article we will examine four causes of female hair loss and what can be done.
1. Genetics
One of the hot topics of discussion pertaining to high blood pressure control lately deals with taking omega-3 fatty acids. It has been talked about on the news and has generated a lot of interest. But, does adding omega-3 into your diet really help with controlling blood pressure? Let’s take a look.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in various types of fish, nuts, seeds, and also in a supplement form. The nutrients are said to help lower blood pressure.
According to a recent study that was published in the American Heart Association Journal, almost 5,000 men and women were tested.
What you put in is what you are. Sounds familiar? Our grandparents ate well balanced healthy meals and they had healthier lives. In today’s time-conscious, fast paced, urban lifestyle, quick convenient meals have become the norm. Scientific studies have shown that diet is the most important factor for a long, healthy life. Many common disorders and diseases can be avoided by improving the daily diet. Eat healthy by getting rid of the low saturated fat foods and increasing foods and servings with high fiber content, like fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes.
Is being disease-free the same as being truly healthy? Some people seem to think so but let’s take a closer look.
A person can suffer from symptoms like migraine headaches, chronic constipation, one cold after another, digestive problems and feel tired most of the time and still get a clean bill of health from the doctor.
How is that possible? Within the accepted parameters of his profession and according to his training no disease or chronic problem is discernable.
When a murderer has two personalities, we can clearly observe the existence of a wild and evil ancient conscience in parallel with the human conscience that has been damaged. The murderer doesn’t remember the murderers committed and any of his or her evil actions have been done at the moments when he is dominated by his wild conscience that doesn’t have any connection with the human side.
Yoga is probably the only system that uses the physical body as a vehicle to reach the highest stage of spiritual consciousness. Yoga believes it is the spinal column that holds the secret path to knowledge and liberation. This is supposed to contain three nadis or channels called Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.
In an ordinary human being, the Sushumna is closed and only the Ida and Pingala, which correspond to the left and right nostrils, operate. He spinal cord has the following chakras or wheels situated over its length.
The smoking ban in public places in England starts on the 1st July and is part of a government initiative to reduce smoking related diseases. These include respiratory, vascular and malignant conditions.
As optometrists, will we see any clinical effect from the ban?
Smoking has clearly been linked to cataracts. Studies have shown that smokers have up to a three-fold increase of developing nuclear sclerosis. Although potentially devastating to patients in developing countries where medical treatment is not so readily available, due to the advances in cataract surgery, many people in the western world with nuclear sclerosis undergo surgery and any degradation to the vision is eliminated.
Fresh, green, loaded with vegetables and all our other favorite toppings, the salad has satisfied dieters and non-dieters alike for years. Dieters always turn to the salad as a clear indicator that their new “diet” has commenced. A newly dieting person sometimes will comment on how they are “trying to eat more salads and fresh vegetables” instead of their former fatty fares. They proudly order up these green, leafy bowls of goodness with all certainty that their health will improve and their waistlines will diminish. I see these seemingly proud types of people almost daily, yet usually it’s with some trepidation.
Are you unhappy because you’re in a minority group? Do you feel ugly? Do you feel like you can’t do anything right? No matter what it is, there is someone out there who can help you; you certainly don’t have to go it alone. Confidence is bred through empowerment and personal success, and confidence is always considered a core trait in those with natural beauty.
If you are reading this article, most likely you or someone close to you suffers from fibromyalgia. You may be fed up, tired of the endless search for a treatment and missing the healthy life you once loved.
I know what you are going through. I am acutely aware of this struggle. As an active sixteen-year old high school student, I began to experience the debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia. I felt victimized as I could no longer participate in running cross-country, playing soccer, and waterskiing in the summers. Some invisible force, it seemed, had taken over my body and I felt powerless to intervene. Using a wheelchair because I could not walk long distances and sleeping fourteen hours each day characterized my lowest point. Frustration came easily, especially as I walked the long confusing road in search of treatment. Effective treatment varies from person to person, but one strategy I have found universally applicable.
