Top 10 Tips to Stay Healthy

“The greatest wealth is health,” said Virgil. And I think he was dead right because you need to be healthy, to both earn and enjoy what you earn. All of us are prone to health risks for a myriad reasons, but we can minimize our risks by leading a healthy life. The following 10 tips are meant to enable just that happen.

1. Be on a healthy diet

Eating is a way to nourish your body. If you feed it with junk it would not only result in lowered performance, but might harm it in the long run. So, it makes all the more sense to choose your diet wisely. A balanced diet is a must as is the quantity of what you eat. Some healthy eating options include eating about 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day while minimizing the consumption of saturated fats has a beneficial effect. They not only enhance your health but may also decrease the risk of cancer and several other diseases. So that you don’t have to depend on pharmaceutical drugs to keep control you ailments.

2. Staying active is the way to be

All animals seem to be active in some way or the other, ants, monkeys, flies, butterflies all of them seem to be on the move, except for a portion of humans. Our bodies are perhaps accustomed to activity, I presume that the early men & women, or our ancestors much like the animals were busy gathering food… No more yada, yada… but doctors suggest that adults need about 30 minutes of moderate physical activity preferably on all days of the week. You need to begin slowly, and try to make it enjoyable at the same time, so that you persist to reap the real benefits of physical exercise. Some good activities to get moving are cycling, jogging, gardening, walking, dancing, gardening and swimming.

3. Be wary of obesity and being overweight

Being heavier than what’s healthy for you increases the magnitude of risk of several debilitating diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. If you already have a healthy weight, maintain it, but if you’re overweight or obese begin right now to set your weight right. Each excess pound that you lose will allow you to stay healthy throughout your life.

4. Vaccinations are important

Vaccination isn’t child’s play only. There are many professions and lifestyles that might put you at an increased risk of infections. In consultation with a physician, determine which vaccines you need and get them.

5. Control Stress

Stress, be it physical or mental can wreck havoc with our health. A balanced lifestyle need to accommodate your professional, personal and social lives. You neglect the need to balance your life at your own risk, it isn’t often easy to strike a work-life balance but you need to find a way.

6. Get yourself health screened regularly

Because the need for routine health exams and assessments is different based on your health history, age, lifestyle, etc, you need to consult a physician to decide upon what all screenings you need and how frequently. The reason is simple, for diseases to be diagnosed early results in better outcomes, they can be treated and cure early. Common exams include those for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sexually transmitted diseases, cancers and diabetes. For instance, cancer drugs can effectively treat cancer if it’s detected early on.

7. No Smoking Please!

If you don’t smoke you’re privileged because so many people I know who do, find it quite tough to give it up. But tough doesn’t mean that it can’t be done. I think you need the motivation to get there, as one of my friends, Martin, quit smoking when his girlfriend encouraged him to do so. I don’t mean that you need a girlfriend to tell you to quit, but you do need to be in love with staying healthy. It’s difficult, but you can try and you must, seek professional help if need be. Needless to mention, but from head to toe, there isn’t a body part that smoking doesn’t harm.

8. Is you health at risk?

You need to find an answer to this one based on your work & home environments, heredity, lifestyle, etc. Once you’re forewarned of the health risks you harbor, you can minimize that risk by taking the right action. Your health care provider can help you with this exercise.

9. Protection is the key

If you wear seat belts, but don’t practice safe sex, you’re using different yardsticks. Protection isn’t limited to sex and driving but everything from applying sunscreen to brushing your teeth and having fire smoke detectors installed. Whatever you do, wherever you live a proactive approach to protection can save you from a lot of diseases, injuries, hardships, etc.

10. Treat yourself well

This simply means that you pay attention to your health, if you’re all about caring for the family

for instance and neglecting yourself. Then this isn’t treating yourself well. Rest and relax, enjoy and have fun, forgive yourself and let go can go a long way to ensure that you’re happier and healthier.

Be healthy and smile would automatically come to you.

Hair Loss Treatments and Remedies

Hair loss is linked to a variety of factors, such as genetics, diet, hair care and disease. Most will agree that one of the best ways of hair loss treatment, is “prevention”.

We can’t control our genetics. While we ‘may’ have some control over developing a disease, we probably have no control. However we definitely have control over our diet, which of course helps your health in general, and the way that we treat our hair, the care that we show it.

Those who are on dieting because of being overweight, or anyone who avoids or severely limit their protein intake also may experience hair loss. It is common for those who are ‘vegans’ to suffer some hair loss due to the fact that those people consume no protein/meat/animal products at all. Also, the less strict vegetarian will likely have thinning hair due to their eating habits.

Hair loss is also commonly seen among those who suffer from malnutrition due to anorexia and bulimia.

The good news is that just by simply eating a protein rich diet, having protein powder shakes or supplements, you can stop hair loss due to poor eating habits and lack of protein. Also other supplements like zinc are good for your hair. Keeping a balanced diet will also be effective in making sure that your hair stays thicker and healthier

Giving your hair the care it deserves may enable you to avoid hair loss altogether and it will help your hair to stay healthy and looking good.

Don’t wash your hair more than once a day, but you should washing it at least once a week. This will allow the dirt and oils to come out of the hair with the proper washings. It will also allow nutrients to move through the hair in order to allow for protection, as well as growth. If you have a sensitive scalp, you should consider using a softer type of shampoo or one that has specific medication to help your hair.

Make sure that you are being careful in styling your hair. Blow-drying and hot curling irons are known to damage the cuticles that protect the hair. You should be using the ‘low’ heat level in order to prevent damage.

You should also learn to style your hair when it is damp or dry. This will not put as much stress on your hair and will prevent hair loss. When your hair is wet, it will be easier for it to stretch and break.

A natural way of treating thin hair is by using olive oil. Massage it into your scalp before you go to bed. Wash it out the next morning to make your hair look shiny and healthy. You can use this treatment once a week and still see benefits from it.

People that suffer from hair loss find that one good remedy can be found in hair styling and cosmetic techniques. Hair coloring, waves, and haircuts alone can make a big difference in the way you look and feel, making hair loss much less apparent.

There are also FDA approved tropical treatments that may be able to help. But often, the simple things actually work.
