Why we need to Supplement our diet with Vitamins & Minerals?





     We do not have a perfect diet, it is a fact!We should eat a lot of vegetables and fruits every day. 
Eating at least  3 fruits and 4 vegetables is ideal for our health. If possible, eating organic ones is even a better source of nutrients. Good sources of protein are also important, eating foods such as salmon, fish, and organic meat is the best source of protein. We cannot forget a good source of oils, such as extra-virgin olive oil and coconut oil. Also, carbohydrate from whole grains should be part of our daily diet. With the lifestyle of most of us, nowadays is really hard to find the perfect diet, the balance between what we should eat and the reality of everyday life is hard to be achieved.

        The everyday stress consume us! If we do not have the ideal support of nutrients our hair and skin will suffer because nature always tries to preserve the functions that are more important for the body. When under stress, our body needs more nutrients causing a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body making us more vulnerable to diseases. "No matter how well you eat, take a multivitamin daily. It may just save your life." (Bruce Ames Ph.D.) 

 f you do not have any big health issue, a good multivitamin, and B complex will enough for prevention.  In cases of symptoms of health imbalance, diseases are necessary to have an individual picture. The  Hair Analyzes test  is a  good resource  to understand and have a particular map of an individual needs of minerals and vitamins  .  The American Medical Association recognized the value of the Hair analyzes for intoxication of heavy metals. That’s very important  because is proved that even small amount of toxic metals will  make an oxidation reaction, that will damage the cells.  The immune  system will fight that reaction, with over consuming of our natural reserves of vitamins and minerals. 

     We have to understand that the hair analysis will show the past history of our deficiencies. There are no direct correlations between what we find in the blood today with what we find in the hair. The minerals we found in the hair analyzes, is past history. The test can  also show, for example, a lack of calcium. We can do a bone test or a blood test to see if the calcium level is low, and the results can be negative, but if we do not add calcium to the diet and do not detox of heavy metals, years later the low calcium will be shown in the bones and in the blood.  

 The best way to take vitamins  and mineral are together with food. We do not need overdose, or to high dose to be absorbed, the best way to  is like food, small quantities every day. As close to the food better they are for the body.

How to Help your Hair Growth with Diet & Essential Oils

Image
Our eating habits directly influence the health of our hair. A deficiency of vitamin F (essential fatty acids), for example, causes a disruption in the keratin process of the scalp by stimulating the appearance of dandruff. Calcium deficiency causes hair to turn brittle. These are just examples of how the hair depends on sufficient amounts of nutrients to keep moisture and cohesion between its cells, giving them a healthy look. Healthy and shiny hair depends on vitamins and minerals found in many foods. Your diet should be rich in protein (meat, fish, eggs, yogurt), vegetables and fruits, oleaginous seeds (almonds, walnuts, cashews), legumes (beans, peas, lentils), and whole grains (oats, flax, rye). More critical than ingesting large amounts of a particular food, or vitamins such as zinc and copper, is to seek synergy between the vitamins and minerals. The ideal diet should be varied by rotating between different foods to ensure that we consume sufficient nutrients. Fruits and...

CANDIDA AND HAIR LOSS

Image
How a biological imbalance in our natural flora of the scalp can lead to Hair Loss Hair loss results from a combination of the following: 1. Genetic predisposition 2. Poor nutrition 3. Weak immune system 4. An environment that leads to an overgrowth of Candida fungus (Yeast) . 1. Genetic predisposition,Male and Female Pattern Baldness The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition called male-pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair in women. Pattern baldness is most common in men and can begin as early as puberty, and this type of hair loss may involve both hair thinning and miniaturization (hair becomes soft, fine and short).One cause of male pattern baldness is genetics, or having a family history of baldness, which influences the age at which you begin to lose hair, the rate of hair loss and the extent of baldness. ...

Why your Hair turns Grey and What you can do to Prevent.

Image
Fifty percent of the population has about 50% gray hair at age 50," says Dr. Anthony Oro, professor of dermatology at Stanford University. And like skin, hair changes its texture with age, says Dr. Heather Woolery Lloyd, director of ethnic skincare at the University of Miami School of Medicine. Caucasians tend to go gray earlier — and redheads earliest of all. Then Asians. Then African-Americans. Scientists haven't figured out why yet. Your hair doesn't turn gray — it grows that way. The change in hair color occurs when melanin ceases to be produced in the hair root and new hairs grow in without pigment. Our hair color comes from a pigment called melanin. When you’re young, special pigment stem cells called melanocytes inject pigment into keratin-containing cells. This keratin, a protein, makes up your hair and is responsible for giving it its color. As you age, melanin is reduced, which is why your hair turns gray and, ultimately, white (this means there’s no mela...
