Flat Tummy - Interesting facts

Dear Reader, 

I hope articles I am writing in this blog are helping you in giving some knowledge and helping you in maintaining healthy life style. When I was checking something in Facebook I came across an  interesting posting from some one. It gave me a though about this article. I would like to share some idea about getting flat tummy. 

Readers I am also using these tips which I am going to share with you today to achieve flat tummy. I am sharing the photo which gives us information about how our food habit needs to be . This does not mean that you need to take less food or low carbohydrate food, we need carbohydrate  which is source of energy, but make a wise decision about how much carb you need for better energy. So if you take less carbs than what your body require to function slowly your body tend to loose energy. Specially when you are doing exercise then your body need lot of energy. 

1. Avoid food products which are made with Maida (multipurposeflour) – these foods are without any Fiber, absolutely zero fiber which is not at all good. Try to take food with high fiber. Personally I prefer brown rice compared to white rice. If you think it's hard for you to choose brown rice, then there are excellent Fiber supplements (I  like Organic Fiber supplement NUTRILITE INVISIFIBER you can click on this link and buy online) in market which can be mixed with food and can be consumed. 
2. Instead of reducing food intake reduce quantity but increase the number of meals, for example instead of taking 3 heavy meals take 6 small meals. This will make sure food will be efficiently used by your body.
3. Next tip is the one which my friend always follow and recommended so many times also. That is taking last meal at least 2hr before going to sleep. Other way we can say try go avoid sleeping after taking meal immediately.
4. Consume as much water as possible when you try to reduce tummy or body weight. (read my next article to understand relation between water & human body. That will help you to understand improve your water intake.) 
5. If you take enough fiber, your digestive system is going to work hard to digest the food that way it's going to burn more calories . Also you don't feel lot hungry as fiber rich food fills up the stomach. 

Some good workout tips which can help us reduce tummy, checkout this video. Just walking for jogging is not going to put stress on tummy which can reduce tummy fat or reduce tummy so this following video is good one to reduce tummy.  

If you think this information is going to help , please share this with family and friends. Lets increase the awareness about healthy way for getting flat tummy. Please post your feed back or comments in following comments section.

Take a decision : Part 3 Vitamin D

Dear Readers, 

               It's been long time I wrote articles on this blog. Happy to come back with new article. Last week I was talking to my mentor about some future plans for my business & career and he was suggesting me to move forward and publish more articles which is helping lot of people to take good decisions with their health management. So I decided to keep this blog page update date with helpful information. Today I am going to write about Effects and symptoms of Vitamin D decisions. 

I remember when I went for my annual checkup, my Doctor explained me about Vitamin D importance, she is doing her work related topic in Stanford Medical research. She explained very clearly about how Vitamin D deficiency can cause cancer. For every healthy body Vitamin D levels must be around 50ng/ml, any thing below that will be considered as deficiency. I remember that I was thinking why I will have vitamin D deficiency as I am exposed to sun for some time in a day and taking some good food which has Vitamin D. After looking at my Vitamin D levels report my thoughts are wrong I asked my Dr. I had deficiency, I was stunned with the details. Most of us will have high Vitamin D deficiency for sure after knowing these things. Even when we are in sunlight our body might not be able to make Vitamin D from sun light its complex process how our body makes vitamin D from. I am not going to talk about that now I would like to keep this article simple. Lets quickly take a look at Cause of vitamin D deficiency and symptoms of deficiency. 

First and foremost thing to talk about is sunlight: lot of us thinks that we will get enough vitamin D from sunlight but there are so many things which we don't know about how our body makes vitamin D from sun light. Lets take look at why our body might not be making enough vitamin D. 

Are you using sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from Sun-damage (UV radiation)   this will block your skin getting sun exposure which can limit your body making vitamin D from sun light. Other limitations are some of us works in indoors this can also limit us from getting necessary  amount of sun light. some of the people are leaving in places where they have limited sun-light that can also cause the deficiency. so i consider one of the cause as Your exposure to sunlight is limited.

You don't consume the recommended levels of the vitamin over time. There is interesting article i wrote in the past related how our body might fall deficiency for any Vitamins or Minerals. Click here to read you will understand why we don't consume recommended levels of Vitamin over Time. 

There are some few more reasons, but i highly recommend every one to get Vitamin D level test done if your varmint levels are not according to standard 50ng/ml there there is risk to some of major problems which are caused by Vitamin D deficiency. 

• You have dark skin
• Your kidneys cannot convert vitamin D to its active form.
• Your digestive tract cannot adequately absorb vitamin D

Health issues with deficiency of Vitamin D: 

• Increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease
• Cognitive impairment in older adults
• Severe asthma in children
• Cancer

By taking high quality Vitamin D supplements we can avoid us from all these things. Personally i used Nutrilite Vitamin D (Nutrilite is worlds #1 Organic vitamin & supplement brand with 75 Years of proven history). After taking this for 90 days and went for Dr. checkout again my Doctor was amazed with the results  initially she recommended high dosage of some over the counter Vitamin D but with the knowledge what i have about dietary supplements i sued this Doctor was really impressed with the results personal she ordered for her usage and started using it. 

Please share your inputs and feed back in comments, you can follow us on our Facebook page for Optimal health (currently its a closed group) but you can request to add you on this page.  

I wish all my readers to get excellent quality of health. Will keep posting with necessary information which every one need to know on regular basis. 

Next article about walking 5K steps per day on daily basis, how to make it a habit?

Reversal of Diabetes by Dr. RaviShankar

Dear Friends, Great information about Reversal of Diabetes by Dr. RaviShankar, This is only in tamil, but i will try to get translation in different languages soon.

Take a decission: part 2 protein

Dear Readers,

Its nice to come back to you with next topic on our series Take a decision in this part i will discuss about protein and its importance. i hope this will help you in taking a quality decision about your protein intake. i am going to cover about following topics in this article.

1. What is protein?
2. Sources of protein.
3. How much protein we need on daily basis?
4. How to identify protein deficiency and avoid it?
5. Good protein supplements.

What is protein:

Proteins are organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. Proteins are part of every cell, tissue, and organ in our bodies. These body proteins are constantly being broken down and replaced (if we are eating balanced diet).

A complete protein source is one that provides all of the essential amino acids. You may also hear these sources called high quality proteins. Animal-based foods; for example, meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs, and cheese are considered complete protein sources.

An incomplete protein source is one that is low in one or more of the essential amino acids. Complementary proteins are two or more incomplete protein sources that together provide adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids. For example, rice contains low amounts of certain essential amino acids; dry beans contain lower amounts of other essential amino acids that can be found in larger amounts in rice.

sources of protein:

Seafood is one of the best sources of protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.

White-Meat Poultry

Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean protein. Dark meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.

Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt

Not only are dairy foods -- like milk, cheese, and yogurt -- excellent sources of protein but they also contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis, and enhance weight loss. One cup (250ml) of milk contains around 10gm of protein.

Eggs

Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day. One egg contains around 4.5gm of protein.

Beans

One-half cup of beans contains as much protein as three ounces of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.

Pork Tenderloin

This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.

Soy

Twenty five grams of soy protein daily can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy protein foods like tofu with a healthy low fat diet.

Lean Beef

Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron, and vitamin B12.

Protein on the Go

Grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar, or energy bar. Check the label to be sure the product contains at least six grams of protein, and is low in sugar and fat.

What food contains how much protein is very important while planning our diet for more information you can look here for food chart which explains you how much protein is there in what type of food.

How much protein we need on daily basis?:

Truly speaking this is a tough questions to answer because how much protein we require on daily basis, because this depends on your gender, age and situation. If you're an exerciser, however, your protein needs may increase since resistance training and endurance workouts can rapidly break down muscle protein. In general ranges from 40-70 grams each day but this is also not a standard its all depends on your body weight, height. RDA for average body mass index is given in the following table.

Recommended Dietary Allowance for Protein
	Grams of protein needed each day
Children ages 1 – 3	13
Children ages 4 – 8	19
Children ages 9 – 13	34
Girls ages 14 – 18	46
Boys ages 14 – 18	52
Women ages 19 – 70+	46
Men ages 19 – 70+	56

There is one more calculation says that 

Adult need at least 1gm of protein per 1kg of body weight 

Children need at least 1.5gm of protein per 1kg of body weight

Pregnant ladies need at least 1.75gm of protein per 1kg of body weight.

how to identify protein deficiency and avoid it:

Even with a wide variety of protein sources available, some people experience protein deficiency symptoms due to a lack of protein intake. Severely restrictive diets, lack of knowledge about nutrients, and even poverty can all contribute to protein deficiency. Here are some of the most common symptoms:

• Edema – A collection of fluid under the skin, which most commonly affects 

   the legs, feet, and ankles, but can occur anywhere on the body.

• Weight loss

• Thinning or brittle hair, hair loss

• Ridges or deep lines in finger and toe nails

• Skin becomes very light, burns easily in the sun

• Reduced pigmentation in the hair on scalp and body

• Skin rashes, dryness, flakiness

• General weakness and lethargy

• Muscle soreness and weakness, cramps

• Slowness in healing wounds, cuts, scrapes, and bruises

• Bedsores and other skin ulcers

• Difficulty sleeping

• Headache

• Nausea and stomach pain

• Fainting



Other Symptoms

Not all of the symptoms of protein deficiency are physical. Some are emotional or mental, and include:

•Crankiness, moodiness

•Severe depression

•Anxiety

•Lack of energy, no desire to do things

Keep Track of Your Food

The best way to make sure you're getting enough nutrients, including protein, is to keep track of the foods you eat on a daily basis. If you are concerned that you might be lacking in anything, check with your nutritionist for reassurance, and ideas to incorporate new foods in your diet or supplement with dietary supplements. I can understand its tough to track our food every day, but you can try doing this for 1 week to 2 weeks you can understand what you are getting to take decision.  

Good protein supplements:

Organic soy protein powder with essential amino acids (all essential amino acids)
Organic Whey protein  powder with essential amino acids (all essential amino acids)

suggestion: when you are buying any protein powder or shake you can check quality of protein you get per serving which is very important they more quality protein you get per serving is very important, as we as make sure you are buying organic protein because it contains amino acids that means protein is acidic in nature so synthetic might cause health problems.

Remember one tips when you are taking any protein that acidic in nature so you need to take more water to neutralize your body from acidic nature, if you are not doing this it will increase the risk of cancer. If you are taking plant based protein naturally it has antioxidants in it (because of plan concentrates) which can decrease the acidic nature.


Feel free to write your comments or feed back in comments section. You take a decision about your health and diet. want to prevent deficiency or not? its your choice.

Cancer & How to avoid it

Dear Readers,

I am sure most of you are enjoying the articles in this blog; this information is useful for you. In this article i would like to present you about how cancer will get developed, how we can prevent/avoid this. If you observe cancer is one of the problems which is growing very fast in this world along with heart attack and diabetes. We will discuss about heart attack in coming up article, but this discuss i will be limit to cancer if you have any questions feel free to join the discuss in comments section.

Topics i am going to present in this discussion are

How the cancer susceptibility will increase?

How we can we prevent? Remember one thing prevention is better than cure.

To understand clearly please watch the following video which demonstrates about how the cells in our body will be attacked by free radicals.

not about to view the above video click here

Lot of times we hear about tumor which is nothing but formed because of this kind of chain reaction. We we think about all these things lot of people think that one apple a day will take care of all these things and give us enough about of antioxidants, but that thumb rule is not always correct, if you just apply common sense... just think about the toxic nature of environment (you can say pollution & chemicals) if you they are increasing day by day... in the environment especially experts are saying that in house air is more polluted than out door.... that's true we use more chemical base cleaners to clean our home that also causes too much toxic inside our home, That a different story i will discuss about that later. 

Latest research reports says we need to take at least 5 apples (organic) for day along with other fruits which gives us antioxidants such as blue berry, pomegranate ect... are we taking that much..? you think about it we are not keeping up with better diet to fight against free-radical attack. Now a days leading health & nutrition authorities recommend us at least 10 serving of fruits and vegetables for adults & for kids at least 5 to 7 serving along with good antioxidants. if we are not able to take complete diet through normal food its a good idea to supplement always. when you are selecting your supplements try to pick the supplements with highest amount of plant concentrates and organic in nature.

Prevention is better than cure, you may be thinking that my insurance will cover if you go for treatment so i don't need to take supplements to prevent it why to spend on money them. i am sure that will have -ve impact on your health as well as you will end up spending more money for your insurance premium also.

Its time to take decision what do you want to for your family? Best or average supplements which might not give your right benefits...? remember one thing low price and quality will not come at the same time.

About Taurine

Dear Friends,

Its a  great feeling to come back to you with one more interesting article, which can help us in many ways. Recently i was talking to one of my prospective client(Indian back ground) about energy drinks. I was talking to him about on of our brand XS Energy drink, he is excited about 0 sugar, 0 cards; Caffeine free blend, he tasted it and liked a lot. But he told me that most of the energy drinks contains Taurine which can cause impotency, he said his doctor told him (but truth is he got this partial information from his friend), he said that i can search about this online also. Then i searched online about this topic. I was wondered with the results. 

In this article i would like to share some information about Taurine and the results i came across. What i understood is that its good for health. Let look into the results how it can help in health. 

Despite being present in many energy foods, taurine has not been proven to be energy-giving. A study of mice hereditary unable to transport taurine suggests that it is needed for proper maintenance and functioning of skeletal muscles In addition, it has been shown to be effective in removing fatty liver deposits in rats, preventing liver disease, and reducing cirrhosis in tested animals. There is also evidence that taurine is beneficial for adult human blood pressure and possibly, the alleviation of other cardiovascular ailments (in humans suffering essential hypertension, taurine supplementation resulted in measurable decreases in blood pressure) Taurine is regularly used as an ingredient in energy drinks, with many containing 1000 mg per serving and some as much as 2000 mg
A 2003 study by the European Food Safety Authority found no adverse effects for up to 1,000 mg of taurine per kilogram of body weight per day. However this was in regard to taurine alone; they did not compare the effects of taurine when combined with the other ingredients in energy drinks. A review published in 2008 found no documented reports of negative or positive health effects associated with the amount of taurine used in energy drinks.

Some benefits of Taurine:

In Japan, taurine is used to treat ischemic heart disease as well as certain heart arrhythmias. People who suffer from congestive heart failure are reported to have benefited from taurine therapy - in the amount of 3 to 5 grams per day - and taurine may also be helpful in the treatment of both hypertension and high cholesterol.

Taurine and hepatitis:
In a double-blind, randomized study (3), acute hepatitis patients were given taurine in the amount of 4 grams 3 times a day after meals. The participants in the taurine study experienced significant decreases in bilirubin, and total bile acids.

Taurine and alcoholism:
Taurine has been shown to be useful in treating people with alcohol dependency. In people undergoing alcohol withdrawal, taurine given at 1 gram 3 times per day for 7 days resulted in significantly fewer psychotic episodes when compared to people who were taking a placebo (4).

Yet another study (5) involving over 3,000 alcohol dependent people with who were given taurine at similar doses showed that taurine is more effective than placebo at preventing alcohol relapse. The effectiveness of this taurine supplement appeared to be dependent on the dose given.

Taurine and type 1 diabetes:
Studies (1) have demonstrated that taurine acts as a potent antioxidant and improves drug-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus in laboratory rats, by combating the destructive effect oxygen free radicals have on the pancreas. Moreover, the second mechanism by which taurine improves insulin resistance is through an increase in the excretion of cholesterol via conversion to bile acid.

Because type 1 diabetes is so devastating if not treated properly, taurine in the amount of 500 mg 1 to 3 times a day is generally a good idea in these cases.

Studies (2) have shown that even in infants, taurine insufficiency results in reduced bile acid secretion, reduced fat absorption and reduce liver function, all of which can be reversed by supplementing the diet with taurine.

These studies also support the theory that taurine is essential for proper development and growth. Consequently, taurine has been added to most commercially-available infant formulas.


I took lot of information form different websites, so i thank all the publishers for providing such a useful information.

i hope this information is useful for lot of you, i would like to urge ever one of you that please do a minimum search about the any ingredient before giving statements in public what ever the words once they come out we can't take them back.

Tips for Staying Positive Every Day

Dear Friends,
 

It was nice to come back to you with a nice article about Staying Positive Every Day, this may be seems to be a simple topic but its very use full for all of us in day to day life. Learning to turn negative thoughts into positive ones is always going to take time, even if the process if self is simple and effective. Just make sure that you try to proactive every day by following these top tips:
 

Stay Healthy: Keeping a healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to stay positive without any psychological work. Try to exercise at least there times a week for around half an hour. Exercise is medically proven to affect your mood and to help reduce stress. The more you do it, the longer lasting the effect will be. A healthy diet is also completely essential - a healthy mind is definitely linked to a healthy body.
 

Check That You Are Staying Positive: Most of our thoughts just happen, we don't constantly check every single one. However, on your journey to become more positive it will be helpful to check yourself a few times throughout the day. Are you slipping back into your old habits of negative thinking? Try to put a positive spin on what's going on around you. Start looking at positive things in each and every thing happening around you.
 

Smile: Allowing yourself to be open to humor and letting yourself smile or laugh is one of the best ways to staying positive! Smiling is even physically proven to make you more happy. Try it right now.
 

Use Positive Self Talk: Many of us use negative self-talk without even realizing it. That means the little voice in your head that tells you things are bound to go wrong, to to avoid situations. You can actively control your thoughts, however just try to make sure you say only nice things to yourself. Try to encourage yourself, and remember that negative thoughts are rarely true. Read Positive Metal Attitude books, One of my favorite books is The Magic Of Thinking Big. What ever our subconscious mind listen it believe that, so program your subconscious mind with positive words.
 

Talk to Positive People: This a a great tip, as positivity really is contagious. If you surround yourself with people who love and support you then it will rub off on you. Not to mention the fact that they will assure you your negative self-talk simply isn't true. This is power of association, even most of time we tell our children "Be careful with whom you hang around", just because association is very powerful, so all ways be with the people how can look for positive in other, uplift people and encourage you that make a lot of impact on your thoughts.
 

We are happy to hear back from you feedback about article and blog so please post your comments in the comments section.

Take a decission part 1

Dear Readers,

Our main intention behind this series of articles is to give you the information which can help you in taking the decision about supplementation, Lot of time we are not sure what kind of supplementation we need ? and do we really need supplementation or not ? we are going to provide you the information about each and every vitamin & mineral, how much do we need on daily basis? and how much we are getting from food (What food contains how much)? what is the effect of deficiency and how we can avoid, what is the good supplementation for it. We prefer you take all the necessary diet from natural food source, but if you are not able to take that on daily basis we recommended you to take supplementation to avoid deficiency.

I would like to share a small story which might help you in taking quality decision. Let us consider that we have a pot which can hold 100 letter of water, and there is a hole to that pot which can leak one letter of water a day, Now initially we filled the pot 100 letter of water. Our target is to keep the pot always full so that we will not fall deficiency (lack) of water there is a saying that full pot will be stronger than empty pot. To meet our target we need to fill pot with at least one letter of water a day, but if we are not doing that what's going to happen? may be we are adding less than 1 letter water...? after some days the pot will be empty.

Same way our body also works, every day for the normal daily activity out body need different Vitamins, minerals and Other Dietary nutrients ( we can say in the process of metabolism, generation of new cells and energy consumption in human body along with many more ). Scientist came up with theory to calculate the metabolism rate depending on lot of factors, in general 2000 Calories of food per day is not suitable for every one its a ideal calculation, No of calories out body consumes on daily basis depends on our activity level and life style & habits. same with the vitamins, mineral and phytonutrites.

Moral of the story is that, to avoid the deficiency we need to fill gap as per the consumption. If we are not taking Optimal nutrition as per the requirements (which is minimum RDA) , its sure that we will fall deficiency of nutrition, Its good idea to add little extra nutrition to our body to make sure we get balanced nutrition. Lets look into what are the vitamins and mineral we required on daily basis along with some other nutrition. There is one more option you will have get a deficiency and take higher dosage of same nutrition (which is called drug) or supplement it when we are not deficient to not to follow deficiency.

*********************************
Vitamin A and Hair Loss
*********************************

If hair loss is due to thyroid dysfunction, eat more foods rich in vitamin A and iodine or take the appropriate Vitamin A and iodine supplements. But be cautious because, excessive intake of Vitamin A can cause hair loss. Taking large doses of vitamin A (100,000 IU or more daily) for a long period of time, on the other hand, can trigger hair loss, but stopping the vitamin A will reverse the problem. As in case of vitamin A deficiencies, often hair will grow back when the deficiency is corrected.

A deficiency of Vitamin A will cause dry hair and rough skin. Vitamin A is stored in the liver and if large doses (50,000 - 100,000 iu daily) are taken for a prolonged period the liver cannot store the A vitamin, and it can build up in the body to give unpleasant side effects which include nausea, headaches, hair loss, drowsiness and weight loss.


The R.D.A. for vitamin A is 2,500 iu to 5,000 iu.


*********************************
Vitamin B and Hair Loss
*********************************


Hair loss can occur when a diet is lacking important B vitamins - especially B6, biotin, inositol and folic acid. The B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin), are especially important for hair growth. All of the B Vitamins help make your hair healthy. These important vitamins include folic acid, vitamin B3, which is niacin, and inositol. Vitamins B5, which is pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6, which is biotin, are also necessary for proper health. B vitamins are known to restore hair and nails and contribute to a healthy circulation system. If you have diet induced hair loss it is wise to take a B vitamin complex daily. It is surprising how many people do not get enough B vitamins in their daily food intake.

*********************************
Folic Acid and Hair Loss
*********************************


A diet that is deficient in folic acid can cause hair loss that ranges from simple hair thinning to patchy hair loss or even to total baldness. The regular dosage for folic acid for adult men is 400 mcg. and the regular dose for adult women is 200 mcg. Women of child-bearing age should always make sure they are getting enough folic acid in their diet because it prevents birth defects in addition to promoting healthy hair.

*********************************
Vitamin C and Hair Loss
*********************************

Most of us know Vitamin C as imunity boster, but what we need to know is Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron, glucosamin and many other nutrients critical to healthy hair growth. Vitamin C aids in improving scalp circulation. It is important to maintain capillaries that carry blood to the follicles.

*********************************
Vitamin D and Hair Loss
*********************************

Researchers and scientists have conducted an experiment using mice as their medium. According to the study, vitamin D can indeed help in preventing hair loss and this is supported by the effects of giving the 'D' vitamin to the mice. If this occurs in young adults, the individual may be suffering from vitamin deficiency, particularly vitamin D

Omega 3 is a factor that affects the biological process of the 'D' vitamin. The modern lifestyle of today usually involves doing mostly indoor activities and so you don't get enough sunlight which is an excellent source of vitamin D. But according to some researches, this is not the main reason. Researchers pointed out the diet lacking of essential fatty acids as one of the major cause vitamin D deficiency.

*********************************
Vitamin E and Hair Loss
*********************************

Vitamin E is important for healthy hair growth and reducing hair loss. Vitamin E can be found in avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Vitamin E increases oxygen uptake, which improves circulation to the scalp.

It improves health and growth of hair. Since hair health is tied to the immune health, vitamin E is believed to stimulate hair growth by enhancing the immune function. A Canadian physician who started going grey was able to reverse the process by taking 800iu of vitamin E in capsule form daily. At the age of 68 after some 15 years of taking vitamin E he still has a healthy head of thick black hair, and is the envy of men half his age.

Vitamin E has also been shown to retard the ageing process. It has been suggested that grey hair is a symptom of body degeneration so a supplement of vitamin E can only be beneficial whether you have grey hair or not. The best natural sources of vitamin E are wheat germ, Soya beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, spinach and eggs.

*********************************

Soy Protein and Hair Loss
*********************************

European studies have found that soy protein reinforces hair and stimulates its growth. In one study, The hair growth increased by 15 percent. Tofu and soy milk are good sources of soy protein. Other good sources of protein are: low-fat cheese, eggs, fish, beans, brewer's yeast and yogurt. The hair is comprised mostly of protein. To encourage hair growth, adhere to a diet rich in protein. A recommended diet for this purpose includes calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ, and two tablespoons of granulated lecithin. Along with protein, these foods are also high in B vitamins, an important nutrient for hair. Soy Protein supplements may be used to increase your intake of protein and support proper hair growth.

*********************************
Fish Oil and Hair Loss
*********************************

Scientific research confirms the important role of Omega-3 essential fatty acids in maintaining healthy blood triglyceride levels, as well as supporting the heart, hair, skin and joints. Fish Oil contains an abundance of two-key Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, EPA and DHA all of which support healthy hair growth and reduce the chance for hair loss.

*********************************
Iron and Hair Loss
*********************************

Anemia, caused by the shortage of iron in the blood, is one of the most frequent causes of hair loss. Eat plenty of iron-rich foods, whole grain cereals, dark green leafy vegetables, eggs, dates, and raisins. Iron supplements support rich oxygented blood which is key for eliminating hair loss. Vitamin C improves the absorption of iron as well as many other important nutrients for proper hair growth. Some symptoms of iron deficiency include hair loss and dizziness. Iron supplements should be used with caution, not more than 27mg per day, to insure that you do not overdose.

Buy Iron folic


*********************************
Green Tea and Hair Loss
*********************************

Some studies have shown that Green Tea may influence blood concentrations of hormones in women linked to at least one form of genetic hair loss known as androgenic alopecia. In a study published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer in 1998, Japanese researchers found that drinking green tea may increase levels of the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in women. Since this bio-chemical binds testosterone, the more SHBG present in a woman's body, at least theoretically, the less testosterone will be in her bloodstream. And that, say some experts, may block the chain of hormonal activity that initiates some forms of hair loss.

*********************************
Enzymes and Hair Loss
*********************************

Coenzyme Q10 is an important enzyme that improves scalp circulation, increases tissue oxygenation, and is also very important for heart health. Increasing circulation and tissue oxygen levels are very beneficial for proper hair growth and reducing hair loss.

Know about iron Mineral

Dear Readers,

                  To day i am going to present you about the Iron Mineral, which is very important for all of us, Esspecially its very important for women. After reading this article the following questions will be answered for you.

What is Iron Mineral ?

Where can we find iron Mineral ?

What is the effect of Deficiency ?

How to Avoid deficiency ?

and some other details also, lets jump into the topic.

Iron (Fe) is a component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and many enzymes in the body. Heme iron, contained mainly in animal products, is absorbed much better than nonheme iron (eg, in plants and grains), which accounts for > 85% of iron in the average diet. However, absorption of nonheme iron is increased when it is consumed with animal protein and vitamin C.

Deficiency:

Iron deficiency is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in the world. It may result from the following:

• Inadequate iron intake, common in infants, adolescent girls, and pregnant women
• Malabsorption (eg, celiac sprue)
• Chronic bleeding

Chronic bleeding due to colon cancer is a serious cause in middle-aged people and the elderly.

When deficiency is advanced, microcytic anemia develops for more details please visit Anemias Caused by Deficient Erythropoiesis: Iron Deficiency Anemia.

In addition to anemia, iron deficiency may cause pica (a craving for nonfoods) and spoon nails and is associated with restless leg syndrome. Rarely, iron deficiency causes dysphagia due to postcricoid esophageal web.

Diagnosis involves CBC, serum ferritin, and possibly measurement of transferrin saturation (iron capacity). All people with moderate or severe iron deficiency and some people with mild deficiency require iron supplementation.

Toxicity: Iron may accumulate in the body because of 

• Iron therapy given in excessive amounts or for too long.
• Repeated blood transfusions
• Chronic alcoholism
• Overdose of iron

Iron overload can also result from an inherited iron overload disease, a potentially fatal but easily treatable genetic disorder in which too much iron is absorbed. Hemochromatosis affects > 1 million Americans.

An overdose of iron is toxic, causing vomiting, diarrhea, and damage to the intestine and other organs. Diagnosis is similar to that for iron deficiency.

Iron Sources

The hemoglobin contains two different types of iron which are heme iron and non-heme iron. The main difference between the two is the absorption capability. The body easily absorbs heme iron but absorbing non-heme iron is more difficult. Absorption rates of non-heme iron can be improved by including meat, fish and vitamin C to the diet.

Another difference is the source of these two types of iron. Organ meats such as liver, heart and kidneys, and lean beef, fish, seafood, sardines, anchovies and poultry are good sources of heme iron. Plant sources provide much of the body's non-heme iron. Good sources include spinach, oat bran, apricots, kidney beans, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, whole meal bread, eggs and soy products.

Organ meats such as liver, heart and kidneys and lean beef, fish, seafood, sardines, anchovies and poultry are food sources that are rich in heme iron. Plant sources provide much of the body's non-heme iron. Some good sources include spinach, oat bran, apricots, kidney beans, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, wholemeal bread, eggs, soy products and fortified cereals. Many other foods have been enriched with iron and this is important because most processed foods lose their natural iron supply. Pasta, bread made with refined flour, white rice and ready-to-eat cereals fall into this last category.

Women over age 50 and all older men need 8 mg of iron/day. Any woman who has not yet started menopause needs more, 18 mg/day, compensate for the blood that is lost during a woman's monthly menstrual cycle. Women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant should also get more iron.

How much is usually taken? If a nutritionally oriented doctor diagnoses iron deficiency, iron supplementation is essential. A common adult dose is 100 mg per day ( this is maximum dose). When iron deficiency is diagnosed, the doctor must also determine the cause. Usually it’s not serious (such as normal menstrual blood loss or blood donation). Occasionally, however, iron deficiency signals ulcers or even colon cancer.

Many premenopausal women become marginally iron deficient unless they supplement with iron. Even so, the 18 mg of iron present in most multiple-vitamin/mineral supplements is often adequate.

Who is likely to be deficient? Vegetarians eat less iron than nonvegetarians, and the iron they eat is somewhat less absorbable. As a result, vegetarians are more likely to have reduced iron stores. However, iron deficiency is not usually caused by a lack of iron in the diet alone; an underlying cause, such as iron loss in menstrual blood, often exists.

Pregnant women, marathon runners, people who take aspirin, and those who have parasitic infections, hemorrhoids, ulcers, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, gastrointestinal cancers, or other conditions that cause blood loss or malabsorption are likely to become deficient.

Individuals who fit into one of these groups, even pregnant women, shouldn’t automatically take iron supplements. Fatigue, the first symptom of iron deficiency, can be caused by many other things. A nutritionally oriented doctor should assess the need for iron supplements, since taking iron when it isn’t needed does no good and may do some harm.
