BLG Health-Fight Stress With Healthy Eating

 Whenever we get too busy or stressed, we all tend
to make poor food choices that will actually
increase stress and cause other problems.  To get
the most of your healthy eating and avoid stress,
follow these simple tips.

Always eat breakfast
Even though you may think you aren't hungry,
you need to eat something.  Skipping breakfast
makes it harder to maintain the proper blood and
sugar levels during the day, so you should always
eat something.

Carry a snack
Keeping some protein rich snacks in your car,
office, or pocket book will help you avoid blood
sugar level dips, the accompanying mood swings, and
the fatigue.  Trail mix, granola bars, and energy
bars all have the nutrients you need.

Healthy munchies
If you like to munch when you're stressed out,
you can replace chips or other non healthy foods
with carrot sticks, celery sticks, or even
sunflower seeds.

Bring your lunch
Although a lot of people prefer to eat fast food
for lunch, you can save a lot of money and actually
eat healthier if you take a few minutes and pack
a lunch at home.  Even if you only do this a few
times a week, you'll see a much better improvement
over eating out.

Stock your home
As important as it is to get the bad food out of
your house, it's even more important to get the good
food in!  The best way to do this is to plan a menu
of healthy meals at snacks at the beginning of the
week, list the ingedients you need, then go shop
for it.  This way, you'll know what you want when
you need it and you won't have to stress over what
to eat.

Prevent Hair Loss & Regrow Hair

Prevent Hair Loss and Regrow Hair
Provillus for Women was specifically formulated for the specific hair loss problems that women experience and contains the only FDA approved topical ingredient clincially proven to regrow hair.

Female Pattern Baldness (FPB) affects 1 out of every 4 women in the United States. Recent findings have found that the incidence of FPB has been reported to be as low as 8% and as high as 87%. And, it does appear to be as common for women as for men. Most often, menopause is the most frequent time for female hair loss to become apparent

For women hair loss can be even more troubling than for men. Female hair loss is not generally accepted as part of the normal aging process. Society has come to expect a thick, luxurious head of hair as part of the attractiveness in women.

While men and women can both experience pattern baldness, they typically do not lose their hair in the same order or appearance.

Female Hair Loss
There is no set pattern for female hair loss. Some women don't start to lose their hair until later on in life, others find their hair thinning while they are relatively young.

Many women feel isolated and alone when their hair starts to thin but it isn't uncommon. In fact, more than 1 in 4 women inherit thinning hair.

Many people believe that hair dryers and tongs can cause women to lose hair. This is not the case. Over-treating and coloring hair can have an adverse effect and might even cause hair to break off near the scalp but it can't cause long-term hair loss.

There are many reasons for women to lose their hair but the most common is hereditary thinning or alopecia which accounts for 95% of female hair loss.

Causes of Female Hair Loss

Hormones — One cause of hair loss in women can be hormonal imbalances. Having an overactive or under active thyroid gland may cause thinning hair. Treating the thyroid disease will usually help this type of female hair loss. Hormones can also cause hair loss if female hormones (estrogens), are out of balance causing women's hair loss. However, if the hormone imbalance is corrected, the hair loss should stop.

Child Birth — Child birth may result in sudden hair loss in women. It's common for many women to notice hair loss after pregnancy - immediately 3 months after they've had a baby. This too, is caused by hormones. But this is not something to worry about. During pregnancy, hair shedding during the normal hair cycle is retarded in by high levels of hormones. Once the hormones have returned to pre-pregnancy levels, this extra hair is shed with the normal cycle of hair growth and loss returning over time.

Hair Loss from Menopause and Hormonal Therapies — causes of female hair loss can come from hormonal therapies such as Progesterone, a female hormone that inhibits the development of a new follicle. Hair loss and menopause are commonly linked and result in thinning hair in older women. Before menopause, about 13 percent of women experience hair thinning. After menopause, reporting of the problem from women increases to about 37 percent.
Ingredients

Women's Provillus - Ingredients
Active Ingredients

Minoxidil 2% is the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to regrow hair in men and women. Minoxidil is a "potassium channel agonist." It contains the chemical structure of Nitric oxide (NO), a blood vessel dilator, and may be a nitric oxide agonist. This may explain Minoxidil's ability to stimulate hair growth and treat hair loss. Since Minoxidil is a nitric oxide related compound it was suspected to act via activation of Guanylate cyclase, an enzyme involved in vasodilation, however there are no reports of cGMP or PKG activation to date.

Azelaic Acid 5% (pronounced az-uh-LAY-ic) is a simple molecule ( HOOC(CH2)7COOH, CAS Number 123-99-9, also known as 1,9-Nonanedioic acid) that is found in some whole grains and in trace amounts in human bodies. Although it is an acid, it is an extremely weak acid - much weaker than vinegar. A research report by Stamatiadis in 1988 suggested that azelaic acid was a strong type I 5-alpha reductase (5-AR) inhibitor.

Active Ingredients

vVitamin B6 is a part of B-complex vitamins. It is a water-soluble vitamin and exists in three major chemical forms: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine. Vitamin B6 has many functions in the bodyand its deficiency can lead to many disorders including hair loss. [1] Vitamin B6 helps in optimal nerve function, immunity, digestion of protein and red blood cell production. Studies have shown that Vitamin B6 promotes hair growth and prevents hair loss. [2]

Biotin, a constituent of Vitamin B complex plays an important role in metabolism of fat and carbohydrate. The vitamin has various functions in body including maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails and deficiency state has been shown to cause hair loss. [3] [4]

Magnesium, an essential mineral, is indispensable for chemical reactions in the body including energy metabolism, protein synthesis, neuromuscular transmission, bone structure and hair growth. [5] [6]

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) extract has been shown to have high silica content, cystine (amino acid) and sulfur. It is a potent antimicrobial and antioxidant. [7] [8] [9]

Para-aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) is considered as a member of Vitamin B and is important constituent of folic acid molecule. It is an antioxidant synthesized in the body. It has an important role in protein metabolism. It is a very potent sunscreen and has shown to return gray hair to its original color. The molecule is essential for microbial function in the intestine. [10] [11]

FAQ

Women's Provillus - FAQ

What causes hair loss?

The female pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss accounting for over 95 per cent of cases. A few cases may also have a genetic predisposition, inherited from the father or mother. The main culprit for hair loss is the hormone dihydrotestesterone, DHT. Testosterone, a male hormone (present in small quantity in females) is converted to DHT by the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. It is seen that people with a lot of this enzyme (density of the enzyme is genetically programmed) make more DHT. DHT binds to the hair follicles making them dysfunctional and causes hair loss. The growth phase of the hair is shortened making it fall prematurely. It also prevents re-growth of new hair.

Unlike male pattern baldness, there is usually a general thinning of the hair with loss predominantly over the top and sides of the head. It usually gets worse with the menopause as estrogen level declines that usually keeps check over testosterone level.

Another common cause of hair loss in women is a condition called alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that affects more than two per cent of the population. In this, immune cells mistakenly attack the hair follicles. The follicles then become very small and hair production slows down dramatically, so there may be no visible hair growth for months and years. After some time, hair may grow as before, come back in patchy areas or not at all.

Can hair loss occur in young adults?

Female pattern hair loss usually occurs after menopause, however, hormonal imbalance anytime in the life can initiate hair loss. Family history should also be considered. Alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, two other forms of temporary hair loss, can occur in children as young as one year of age. Other precipitating factors like thyroid problems, pregnancy and birth control pills may also be contributing factor.


What can be the cause of a sudden loss of a large mass of hair?

Sudden loss of large mass of cells may be due to stressors in the system like illness, high fever, pregnancy, extreme weight loss or gain, and drug use; however this is temporary in nature and subsides once the stressors are removed. Theses stressors tend to disrupt the growth and rest cycle of the hair. As a result more hairs are in the resting phase instead of growth phase.

Does Provillus have any side effects?

No. Provillus is all-natural and is free from any side effects.

Do shampoos and other hair products cause hair loss?

Generally shampoos and other hair products are meant to be safe, but some people may be hypersensitive to the ingredients and may get an allergic reaction. Caustic hair dyes, strengtheners, and other products can certainly cause inflammation of the scalp and result in hair loss.

Can my hairstyle cause my hair to fall out?

Certain hairstyles can contribute to hair loss, most notably styles involving tight braids or pull-backs. This form of hair loss is called traction alopecia. This occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows. Exposure to this type of hairstyle over long periods can result in a scarring alopecia, with no potential for re-growth.

BLG Health-Hoodia Chaser

Hoodia Chaser


REDUCE YOUR APPETITE IN MINUTES

Benefits:
  • Curb your Appetite and Lose weight Fast
  • Certified 100% Pure South African Hoodia Extract
  • Liquid Hoodia Extract for Immediate Results
  • Safe Weight Loss with No Side Effects


Overview

Hoodia Chaser



On November 21, 2004 CBS correspondent, Lesley Stahl reported on 60 Minutes that a strange little plant, Hoodia Gordonii,"... is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away." According to CBS, "Scientists say that it fools the brain by making you think you're full, even if you've eaten just a morsel." Now, word of this amazing plant is spreading like wildfire across the country and taking the consumer market by storm. Many are calling the discovery of Hoodia Gordonii the breakthrough of the decade.

If you're still taking Hoodia in pill form you're losing up to 90% of the benefit you could be getting by taking the liquid Hoodia Chaser Extract. Just a few drops of the Hoodia Chaser liquid extract will provide a more potent and effective result than any Hoodia diet pill on the market. Hoodia Chaser is quickly absorbed into your body and starts working immediately.

IF ONLY YOU WEREN'T SO DARNED HUNGRY ALL THE TIME...

It's true that you eat for a lot of different reasons, but feeling hungry can drive you to distraction. You know you should stick to your diet (what ever the current one is), and you know when you're eating more than you need. But, what can you do about always feeling hungry? It's just not fair.
Hoodia Chaser might just be the answer you're looking for. Combined with a sensible food program, exercise routine, and drinking plenty of water, the ingredients in Hoodia Chaser will help you to regain your slim body easier and faster.
If you weren't hungry all the time, you wouldn't be tempted to snack between meals. You could easily say "No," to second helpings. You would find it easy to push away from the table feeling satisfied.
A great deal of research is being conducted into the effects of satiety (the feeling of being full) on overeating. Hormones circulating through the body convey messages to the brain to indicate hunger of "fullness."

What is Hoodia Gordonii

If you missed the 60 Minutes program, the program described Hoodia as a small, succulent plant that grows only in the remote region of the South African Kalahari Desert. There, the indigenous San Bushmen have eaten the plan for centuries, to stave off hunger during their long and arduous hunting trips.
This small plant looks like a dill pickle with spines on it. It grows slowly in its harsh environment, and takes four or five years, or more, before it is ready to harvest.
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa, joined forces with the South African San Council. They agreed to work together on the usage of indigenous plants for the benefit of both parties. They also committed themselves to the conservation of natural resources.
Because of tremendous worldwide demand for the Hoodia plant, it has become endangered by over-harvesting. Now, certification is required to prove that the product is authentic Hoodia Gordonii.
Real Hoodia Gordonii only grows in the semi-arid desert of South Africa - not in China, or Mexico, or the United States. With Hoodia Chaser you can be assured of getting the real, organic Hoodia ingredient. That's because our Hoodia is approved by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa, and is certified to be 100% authentic.

Hoodia Chaser contains certified Hoodia Gordonii Extract

We only use 100% pure South African Hoodia Extract from the Kalahari Desert in Hoodia Chaser and are proud to display the certificates to prove it. Our Hoodia ingredients are licensed by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa and certified to be 100% Authentic. There are two certified documents required to prove the authenticity of pure South African Hoodia. They are the C.I.T.E.S Certificate and the Analytical Report. 100% natural, 100% stimulant-free, 100% ephedrine-free and 100% caffeine-free, Pure Hoodia Gordonii liquids can also produce a natural feel-good aphrodisiac effect. Plus, the wonder-plant from which they're made is said to give the San tribesmen abundant energy to hunt by day and superhuman-like strength to make love all night long!

BLG Health-Is it Possible to Get Artificial Nail Fungus From Nail Shops

Is it Possible to Get Artificial Nail Fungus From Nail Shops?Artificial nails have come to stay. It is rare to find a woman who doesn’t wear artificial nails these days.

This naturally follows that they are used in covering their natural toes as well, in effort to make them more beautiful as well.

However, women have been known to use artificial nails to cover up nail fungus infection hence resulting in a coined word “artificial nail fungus”.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t cure nor solve the problem. Instead, it worsens it.

Let me explain.

Nail fungus grows in a favorable environment in which there is a lot of moisture and it is dark. Now when you apply artificial nails to the already infected toe nails, it creates an environment that is both dark and has a lot of moisture. Since these fungi grow only in areas that are airless and on feet that are both damp and warm, the artificial nail thus inhibits the easy flow of air around the toenail.

Fungal nail infections are more common among the toe nails than among the finger nails. But please note that any finger nail that isn’t natural but attached to the real finger nail is a huge contributor to the spread of the fungal infection.

It is understandable that when the nails look yellowed as a result of the infection, the natural inclination is to want to put it out of sight and hide because of the stares you get on the fingers or toenails. But know that when you hide the nails under artificial nails, you are creating a more enabling environment that will foster the faster growth and spread of the fungus. So, while it is covered, no one else of course sees the nails while it keeps getting destroyed and the condition worsens.

If this gets to the extreme, you may not even be able to hide it any longer as the nail becomes so bad that it is virtually impossible to even apply the artificial nails.

This is the reason it is better for you to nip the “monster” in the bud.

The spread of the fungus nail infection is even more common among the women than men because of the flourishing beauty industry.

It is common fact that women these days visit nail shops where professional nail experts help apply the artificial nails they want.

Now, it very easy for women to get their pedicures and manicures done for them at these shops and because of this, nail spas are very rampant and well patronized by women and even some men.

However, these same shops which are a source of satisfaction to women can also be a source of sadness as they beautiful nails they go to sculpt their nails, can become infected by the nail fungus infection.

This is possible because certain women who also visit these shops may have the nail fungus growing in their fingernails.
