Four years ago I would go out to a night club and wear one of my favorite shirts and nicely pressed slacks and I would be told that I looked forty years old. It was very hard to take as I had just turned 36. I would go on to hear this kind of talk a lot around this time.

Hair Loss And Grey Hair Prevention With A Healthy Diet
If you knew that a healthy diet could prevent grey hair, would you change your eating habits? We keep being told that lifestyle and food intake are key factors in staying healthy and looking younger, but many of us just buy the food we like without analysing the contents to make sure we are consuming the right balance of vitamins and minerals. Greying hair often begins at age 35, and continues as we get older. By the age of 50, around half of the population has significant loss of colour.
Male baldness is a common problem and can start in the late twenties. The first stage is a receding hairline, then thinning on top of the head and the temples. Women can also suffer hair loss or thinning hair as they get older, or during pregnancy. Other causes may be anemia and stress, but whatever the cause, the results can be distressing and lead to a loss of self confidence.
Aside from hereditary factors, it is the quality of the body’s blood which affects the thickness and colour of hair. So we should look at what we can do to maintain healthy blood, which will both benefit our health, and also help to maintain our looks.
Too much salt can damage the blood and raise your blood pressure, so avoid adding extra salt when cooking or at the dinner table. Crisps, snacks and processed foods generally contain high levels of salt. The guideline daily amount for salt is only 6g, so do look at labels on packaging to ensure you do not exceed this safe level.
The kidneys act as a filter to remove waste products from the blood, and also produce hormones which control blood pressure. Blood quality can be maintained by eating foods containing Iron, Folic acid, vitamins B12 and C. Seaweed, vegetables, grains, seeds (especially sunflower and pumpkin), and nuts are naturally rich in these elements, and you can also take vitamin supplements.
If you do go gray prematurely and decide to use a colour, it is best to choose one closest to your original shade, as this will suit your skin tone and look the most natural. By the age of 60, many women prefer to let nature take its course, revealing a full head of silver or white. This can look extremely glamorous with a good cut to suit the shape of the face, and removes the need to worry about frequent trips to the salo

Losing hair is normal; it is part of the hair growth cycle. The growth phase lasts two to six years, and roughly 90% of the tresses on your head are in this phase. The other 10% of your locks are in a dormant phase that can last from two to six months. After the dormant phase comes Read the rest of this entry

1. Fried Foods That Are Frightening
2. Steakhouse Stories That Scare
3. Manufacturers Mislead Many
4. Burgers That Are Bigger and Biggest
5. Awful Appetisers
6. Cakes and Cookies That Are Calorie Clogged
7. Diet Drinks That Deceive
8. High Calorie Horrors
9. Diet Disasters When Dining Out
10. Super Sized Servings That Sabotage Your Diet
1. Fried Foods That Are Frightening
Deep fried foods are nutritionally bad for you. If you enjoy going to fairs and carnivals, you may well be tempted to eat the strangest of concoctions. It’s amazing just what has been thrown into the deep fryer in the name of creativity.
But the only thing you are going to create is havoc with your weight loss diet.
2. Steakhouse Stories That Scare
Your local neighbourhood restaurant or steakhouse may be a Nutritional Nightmare.
Fried onions that are considered a Starter Dish are so full of Calories, Fat, Saturated Fat and with a high Salt content. And to go from bad to worse, the onions are usually served with a sauce that has even more Calories, Fat and Salt.
For the sake of your health, be sure you know your onions.
3. Manufacturers Mislead Many
Foods that are often labelled as healthy are just the opposite. Marion Nestle PhD, MPH a New York University Nutritional Professor in her book ‘What To Eat,’ talks of ‘Fruit Snacks’ that have absolutely no fruit in them but were just laden with sugar.
Don’t believe the adverts, read the labels carefully then decide for yourself if it’s right for you.
4. Burgers That Are Bigger and Biggest
Burgers are getting bigger and bigger. Burger King and others are taking a bun and piling on as many as four burgers, plus slices of cheese and strips of bacon. Just one of these burgers will give you more Calories than you should eat if having three meals a day.
If you really do want a burger, try ordering a plain burger. It could be served with a sauce, but it should be on the side not on top.
That will save you eating more Calories than you need.
5. Awful Appetisers
How about a Fundido as a snack before the main meal?
A Fundido is made up of a combination of cheese, pepperoni, bacon and sausage served with bread sticks.
If you are on a weight loss diet, a Fundido is a nutritional no-no.
6. Cakes and Cookies That Are Calorie Clogged
You are tempted to have a square of Starbucks Old Fashioned Crumb Cake to go with your coffee but that little square has 670 Calories in it.
And a piece of Cheesecake has enough Calories in it to make a mess of your weight loss diet, but the Cheesecake Factory adds Chocolate Candy, Mousse etc.
Nice for a treat once a year, but for the rest of the year … DON’T.
7. Diet Drinks That Deceive
High Calorie drinks are so deceptive. They don’t need chewing and go down real easy and they don’t fill you up. So how can this innocent looking cup of coffee be loaded with 490 – 580 Calories? It could be the chocolate or cream that is added.
To avoid piling on the Calories, order a small size cup of coffee with low fat milk and sweeteners.
8. High Calorie Horrors
When you are out shopping at the Mall you may be tempted by the delicious aromas of coffees, spicy pies and the mouth watering smell of freshly made doughnuts.
But giving in to temptation could mean you may consume a day’s worth of Calories in one delicious but none essential piece of confectionery.
Ok I’m being a spoil sport but, for the sake of your health and weight loss diet, you would be better to take along a snack of crackers and nuts or raw veggies. Enjoy.
9. Diet Disasters When Dining Out
Two decades ago, dining out was already beginning to be a disaster for the person who was on a weight loss diet. The menu offered high Calorie foods.
Things haven’t improved over the years; in fact they have become worse. On the menu in restaurants are such things as fried macaroni and cheese and cheese fries. Just oozing with fat and packed with Calories.
In order to keep to your diet change into a fluffy bunny rabbit and talk yourself into eating and enjoying salads.
10. Super Sized Servings That Sabotage Your Diet
Have you noticed how it’s not just fast food meals that have got bigger? So have bagels, pasta servings, salads and sandwiches. If you go out to a restaurant for a meal, most of the meals on the menu are going to be around 1 000 Calories.
The question to ask yourself is, do I really need this food? As Michelle May MD, author of ‘Am I Hungry?’ and ‘What To Do When Diets Don’t Work’ said, that ‘Once a person indulges in a decadent dessert or monster burger, it triggers the ‘I’ve already blown my diet, so why bother,’ mentality.
Beyond that, May believes, the real horror may be the American mind set about food. We were raised to clean the plate, so we could be rewarded with a dessert, which further enhances our desire to eat sweets and meals without recognition of fullness,’ she says.
If you want to keep to your weight loss diet, learn what foods are best for you and avoid the ones that sabotage it.
