Health changes can lead to excessive hair loss of 'resting hair follicles' called 'telogen effluvium'. This is when more than hundred hairs come out from your follicles on a daily basis. Thyroid Gland: This regulates your metabolism which can affect your hair follicles. If underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), your hair may be coarse, dry and brittle. This can cause excessive breakage (various length pieces) or hair shedding (full hair strands with white bulb) all over your scalp.  If you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), you may have slower hair growth, soft/fine hair texture and excessive hair shedding all over your scalp. Once your thyroid is under control by your doctor, your hair loss should improve. Iron-Deficiency Anemia: Iron  helps to provide oxygen to your body. You may have low iron heavy...

Do you have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or insulin resistance?  One of the simplest additions to your diet that may help is cinnamon. Several placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated that cinnamon can help to increase glucose metabolism (how efficiently the body processes sugars) and reduce fasting plasma glucose concentration. Cinnamon can slow the emptying of the stomach after eating, thus helping to control postprandial spikes in blood sugar.  Cinnamon may also help to lower triglycerides (likely because of the positive effect on blood sugar levels), and prevent the formation of damaging oxygen radicals in the blood. So what’s so special about cinnamon? This common and tasty spice contains a type of flavonoid called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP), which seems to be responsible for its effects on blood sugar.  To get the benefits of cinnamon,...

If you’re undecided about keeping natural nails or getting acrylic nails, it is important to understand their positive & negative aspects. Some prefer natural while other may go with acrylic nails. I have mentioned basic differences between these two types of nails below: Natural nails are weaker and can be break faster than Acrylic. With natural nails manicures last longer and it is cheaper to do a manicure with natural nails. The price range may start as little as $6 or $7 dollars at a beauty school, but can range as high as $50 or more at a spa.
