A List Of Foods That Will Help You Gain Weight

2008-12-25T01:23:00.000-08:00

For some of the guys out there its hard as hell to even gain a pound. Those men have a really fast metabolism that burns calories like its suppling energy for an army. Most people would kill to have such a metabolic rate, but for all the men that wish to gain muscle this is a nightmare. So I decided to help those guys with a small list of very nutritional foods that will help you gain weight, its up to you to make this weight to muscle mass.

Oatmeal

They are very nutritional and will surely help you gain weight, in fact oats are used to feed horses! The key is not to eat them like always - with milk. Eat the oats by itself so you can eat more!

Nuts

Nuts contain huge amounts of the best proteins you can find in mother nature.

Eggs

But of course don't drink them raw like Rocky!
They have a good amount of protein especially in the whites. But don't get too carried away, half a dozen eggs a day is enough!

Red meat

Red meat is good with its high amount of protein and iron. The iron is known for helping muscle gain by increasing the oxygen inflow to the muscles.

Olive oil

A great source for healthy fats and it can also bring out the best of the veggies by activating their antioxidants, so make sure you use it with your salads and whit whatever you can!

Protein drinks

Using gainers for those drinks is a good idea or at least protein powder. Add up some milk, peanut butter, oats, dried fruits and what ever high calorie stuff you have around you. Of course try to make it taste OK.

Soups

Do you know that lentil, black bean, split pea, barley or minestrone soups contain more carbs than chicken meat? Plus they are yummy.

Salmon

Fish foods are generally good for anyone thats trying to gain weight, but salmon is just incredible. It contains more calories than any other fish plus its jam packed with protein and the healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Make sure you have this one in your menu!

This is the list of mega nutritional foods, make sure you have them in your menu and of course make sure you eat as much as you can.

If that doesn't do the job for you, try natural dietary supplements. They are proven to slow down metabolism and help your body consume more food. A recommendable supplement is Caligain. Its all natural and has more than one positive effect - healthy weight gain, boosts immune system, improves functions of the digestive system and encourages lean muscle growth.

Brain Fitness

2008-10-12T02:25:00.001-07:00

Not many of you realize that your brain needs workouts just as your muscles. In order to have a strong and healthy brain you have to give it different tasks, most of witch in the shape of games. Yes games just like sudoku, chess, crosswords etc. And just like in fitness, where different exercises work on different muscle groups , each game affects a different brain function. There are 4 basic functions:

Memory
Attention
Processing speed
Cognitive control

The hard part about brain fitness is to organize your workout so all 4 functions will get equal pressure, or how to emphasize on your leak points. To tell you the truth I can't help you here, its just too complex. The way I do it is trough a brain fitness program named Lumosity.

This program is created by some of the leading scientists in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and bioinformatics from Stanford, UCSF, and other leading research institutions.

Lumosity is basically a computer based brain fitness program consisting of fun and engaging exercises and online games. It is based on the concept of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to learn and physically adapt given appropriate stimuli.

It begins with a 30 day session. The first few cover all the 4 basic functions, then they are separated and you will make 5 sessions which are emphasizing on just 1, beginning with memory and ending with cognitive control.

One of the coolest extras to the program are all the graphics that chart your general progress named BPI-Brain Performance Index, your progress in any of the 4 functions ( according to this one my worst function is processing speed- seems I am kind of slow ;( ) and your progress at any of the the games.

I really enjoy this program and I can sure see the difference. If you want to give it a try check ut its home page at Lumosity.com

Does 5-HTP help Depression? Science Says Yes!!

2008-07-14T15:10:00.000-07:00

With symptoms that range from feelings of hopelessness and sadness to physical manifestations such as headaches, fatigue, and pain,Major Depressive Disorder affects over 14 million adult Americans in any given year. The toll is vast; as indicated by the latest statistics provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), depression clocks in as the leading cause of disability in the US among individuals aged 15 to 44.

Despite the fact that over 147 million anti-depressant prescriptions were written by US doctors in 2004 alone, many people opt out. Whether a matter of tolerance, side-effects, or a simple dislike of ‘medicating’ with pharmaceuticals, many individuals suffering with depression are choosing natural supplementation over pharmaceutical medication. One such popular supplement is 5-HTP.

Derived from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia, a shrub which is native to West and Central Africa, 5-HTP, or 5-Hydroxytryptophan, is a naturally-occurring amino acid, and a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin. Given its chemical composition, 5-HTP has been shown to increase serotonin levels, the deficit of which is believed to be the leading cause of depression.

Many clinical trials have supported the long-time belief that 5-HTP does, in fact, ease symptoms of depression. The first large-scale clinical trial, conducted in 1972, found that daily oral doses ranging from 50 to 300 mg resulted in significant improvement in 69 percent of study participants. The effects of treatment began to manifest within 2 weeks, and the side effects reported were minimal.

Several other trials have supported this inaugural study. One trial, designed to test the speed of onset when compared to standard antidepressant treatments found that, of the 59 patients with eight different types of depression, 32 patients showed significant improvement within 2 weeks. Standard anti-depressants typically take 4 or more weeks before effects are noted. In this study, 5-HTP was administered in dosages from 150 to 300 mg daily for 3 weeks. Another, similar study found that, after a 2 week treatment of 24 patients hospitalized for depression, 7 showed a marked improvement in symptoms. In addition, the researchers noted a 30 percent increase in 5-HTP levels, leading them to believe that supplementation with 5-HTP was, in fact, effective in raising serotonin levels.

Lastly, in a 1991, double-blind, multi-center study, conducted to compare the effects of 5-HTP treatment with those of standard SSRI treatments, researchers found that up to week 6 of treatment, patients reported a nearly equivocal efficacy response with a 50 percent improvement. At the end of the study, however, researchers found that the percentage was slightly greater for patients treated with 5-HTP. Apparently, 5-HTP was better tolerated and carried fewer side effects, than the anti-depressant Fluvoxamine.

In the end, I think we can safely assume that 5-HTP is a viable option for those suffering from depression. An added benefit: 5-HTP has also been shown to be an effective treatment for diabetes,migraines headaches, fibromyalgia, insomnia, and weight issues.

Natural Bedding

2008-07-08T02:22:00.000-07:00

People choose Organic and Natural Bedding materials over the spread of proprietary synthetic and blended foams, fillers, and designer fabrics that abound in the marketplace for a variety of reasons. There are people who are chemically sensitive, and who just can’t handle synthetics – particularly when they off-gas; there are those who clearly notice and desire the preferred feel and cushioning of Natural and Organic bedding; and those who simply abhor synthetics of any sort and only buy Natural and Organic. Go Green

Sleep Health

Home is supposed to be our “safe haven” – the one place where we really should be able to regularly get deep rest and rejuvenation. Whether it is our busy routines, the hustle-bustle of commuting and running errands, or outdoor smog and pollution, we all need a clean, healthy, and peaceful environment where we can ‘unplug, renew, and recharge’. Proper rest and rejuvenation every night are well-known to be important keys to a healthy, fresh, and vital outlook for each new day.

Many of us take these issues for granted – as long as there is a home, a bed, and certain necessities, we don’t pay attention to details and focus our attention elsewhere. Given the importance of our health and sleep, however, it is worthwhile to be clearly aware of the details. We cannot afford to take for granted anything that affects our lives; and especially at our most vulnerable times.

Reasons to Choose Natural and Organic

Some of the reasons for choosing natural organic products:

No petroleum products
No off-gassing of potentially harmful chemicals
Not treated with dangerous synthetic pesticides
Not grown with synthetic fertilizers
Not processed with toxic synthetic chemicals

A more natural and comfortable feel
Frequently cooler and fresher
Bedding foams are more naturally supportive
More likely to be naturally hypo-allergenic
More likely to be naturally anti-microbial
More likely to be naturally pest-free

Natural and Organic Products

Natural and Organic clothing fabrics may include cotton, hemp, silk, wool, and bamboo (usually blended with cotton or other fibers). Although each of them has its own qualities and characteristics, they are all excellent choices. Natural organic fabrics will also tend to be easier on the skin, and more breathable and pleasant to wear, because of their naturalness – unless you’re just out for a fashion statement!

Natural and organic bed sheets, pillows, and mattress toppers are top-of-the-bed items that are as essential as the clothes we wear, since we spend so many hours in intimate contact with our bedding materials. Available choices for sheets are cotton, hemp, silk, and bamboo blended with cotton. Longer “staples” or fibers, and higher thread count per inch tend to indicate softness in general, though many natural organic products feel so much better on the skin regardless of this. Organic Natural Mattress Toppers are normally 100% Natural Latex (see below), cotton, wool, bamboo, and combinations of these. Natural Bedding and Latex Toppers

Natural and organic mattresses are usually a premium item, and require careful evaluation – just as do latex toppers. New fire regulations now require extensive fire-testing of all mattresses, which has led most manufacturers to include some sort of fire barrier or fire retardant – and each has its pros and cons. However, it is also possible to build your own natural organic latex mattress and avoid all of this – but be aware of your choice; and, for heaven’s sake, don’t smoke in bed or have any other heat sources nearby. Latex Mattresses and Organic Wool Toppers

All sorts of latex mattresses are also available on the market nowadays, from 100% natural latex to 100% synthetic, with all wide range of blends between. And, even though a mattress or topper may be advertised as “Talalay Latex”, “Natural Latex”, or “Latex Foam”, these terms all have the potential to hide a synthetic blend since they don’t say “100% Natural”. And, just for the record, “Talalay” is actually a manufacturing process just like “Dunlop”; and use of this term tells you nothing about the composition of the foam itself.

Informed Consumer

Natural and Organic fabrics, bedding, and sleep surfaces are a smart choice, and a wise investment in well-being and quality of life. It isn’t necessary to witness or personally go through a medical crisis to know that it is better to stay healthy and vital – because nobody is the same afterward a crisis. Take the time to be aware of your lifestyle and your choices, and everything that affects you; and consciously make informed and wise choices for yourself and your loved ones. The investment of time and attention is well worth the benefit, as well as the choice for intentional living.

Acne Prevention

2008-05-16T07:00:00.000-07:00

Many people suffer from acne and its damaging social consequences. These people try everything to remove the problem, but they seem to miss the key point in acne treatment. The secret is in being proactive than reactive. Its much harder to treat the acne when its already on your face than to block it before it get there. In order to prevent acne you should follow these simple tips:

Use facial cleansers!

One of the reasons for acne is the fact that dust and oil clog you pores. The most reasonable way to react to this is by cleansing. Its important that you don't use ordinary soap, as it doesn't help in clearing excessive oil, but actually causes an increase in oil production. This way not only that you don't prevent acne, but you are causing it.

The best substance you can use to cleans your skin is salicylic acid. Look for a cleanser that contains at least 2%.

Such a cleanser is ClearPores.

Follow a diet!

There are 3 key rules in every acne prevention diet.

The first one is to eat protein high foods, it helps a lot in repairing the cells and in fighting aging. Make sure that are fish, chicken without the skin, turkey breast, and egg whites are in your menu!
Rule number two says you should stop avoiding fats. They have a anti-inflammatory effect which is perfect for preventing acne. Best eat fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel which contain omega 3 fatty acids. Just don't get carried away, you don't want to be reading my post on the best ways to suppress your appetite.
The third one tells you to lower the intake of carbs and sugar. They cause inflammation, chemical changes in the body and the diminish of collagen, which is very bad for the skin.

Follow these simple rules, but don't just get carried away. Everything should be in reasonable limits.

Use facial scrubs on a regular basis!

Their exfoliating effects help remove the dead cells from the surface of your skin, thus preventing the creation of acne. Facial scrubs will make your skin look brighter and more radiant a because black heads will no longer be visible.

Use solutions that contain Benzoyl peroxide!

In order to prevent acne you need to use such a solution at least once a week. Benzoyl peroxide creates oxygen in the pores, this way it kills the acne bacteria. Salicylic acid cleansers and benzoyl peroxide are a powerful combination for preventing acne.

Such a benzoyl peroxide solution is Acnezine.

These are the best ways to prevent acne, but if you already have acne and you need a way to remove it, read this- The 2 Best Acne Treatment Products

What is Protein, And Why Do You Need It?

2008-04-21T04:40:00.000-07:00

Protein, is made out of amino acids, which are linked together in chains. Amino acids are the principle means by which we get nitrogen -an essential element in your survival.

In order to build big and strong muscles you will need to achieve a positive protein balance. This means your body will have to make more protein than it will break. Of course, if you make less protein than your body breaks down ( negative protein balance), soon your muscles will become smaller and weaker.

How to measure protein balance?

Your protein balance can be estimated by measuring your nitrogen balance, since protein contains nitrogen. Having a positive nitrogen balance is generally taken as a sign of an anabolic (building muscles) state with an overall gain (retention) of nitrogen for the day, whereas a negative nitrogen balance indicates a catabolic (breaking muscles down) state.

Another way to keep track of your protein balance is by measuring your leucine balance. A positive balance of this amino acid shows protein anabolism. And as you are probably already guessing, a negative leucine balance suggests protein catabolism.

Simply said in order to have bigger muscles you need a positive protein balance. The way to know if you such a balance is to check if your nitrogen and/or leucine balances are positive.

How to maintain a positive protein balance?

As you know you can't eat all the time so there are gaps in protein intake such as when you are sleeping. So the question is how does your body maintain a positive balance when its not receiving any for such long periods.

Your body maintains its protein balance largely by adjusting tissue protein breakdown according to how much protein you feed it.

In between meals, you lose tissue protein, but after a good protein-containing meal, you recoup what you lost through a decrease in protein breakdown. In most cases the synthesis of tissue protein stays the same after the meal, yet because protein breakdown is reduced, the result is a gain in protein. This is protein balance. You don't gain muscles and you don't lose any.

In order to actually make your muscles bigger and stronger, you’ve got to work on both sides of the protein balance equation. However, the second side ( stimulation of protein synthesis ) is the most important side of the muscle-building equation. Indeed, the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis is the means by which resistance exercise makes muscles grow it’s also how some of the most powerful muscle-building hormones ( testosterone, HGH, insulin-like growth factor-1) do their job.

This makes picking out the best protein supplement a very important part of your bodybuilding efforts. There are many companies that claim their protein is the best, so be careful!

Acne In Adult People

2008-04-10T08:17:00.000-07:00

In the post about acne myths I point out that most people think that adults don't suffer from acne. Thats a common misbelief with really bad results. People think they can just let acne cure it self with time and in most cases they are wrong, which leads to serious stress and lack of confidence in their life as adults.

There are several reasons for acne in adult people.

Not treating acne in teenage years.
Using tap water or other chlorinated chemicals.
Pregnancy and menstrual period are often causing acne in adult women.
The intake of steroids, anti-tuberculosis drugs, lithium, anti-epileptic drugs and medications that contain iodine.
Skin pressure such as the one that a backpack applies can be a cause for acne.

As you see some causes are easy to avoid like the first 2. To treat acne read my post about The 2 Best Acne Treatment Products and to deal with the tap water you can use a basic water filtration system.

The other causes are a bit harder to avoid, I doubt that women will not get pregnant just because of acne or people will stop taking their anti-epileptic drugs for the same reasons... for those people and for the adults that already have acne once again I recommend reading the post about the 2 best acne treatment products by clicking on the link I gave earlier in this post.

Try to do what ever you can to avoid the reasons for acne in adult people we already spoke about, but don't get fanatic... And if you are one of those people who think that acne will cure itself with time, YOU ARE WRONG, please treat it!

Interesting Facts About The Muscles

2008-04-07T00:40:00.000-07:00

In this post you will discover some interesting facts about the human muscles, but first I want to make sure you know, exactly what the muscles are. Basically they are the organs who allow us to move. They are made out of fibers. These fibers stretch and contract under the command of your brain. What holds the muscles to the bone is called tendon. When the muscles contract they pull the tendon, which pulls the bone and... you move.

Do you know that you have more than 640 muscles, which are separated in to two groups- Voluntary and Involuntary muscles

Voluntary are the muscles that you move whenever you want to do it, like your biceps for example.

Involuntary are the muscles that move without you thinking about it, like the heart. It contracts up to 80 times a minute and doesn't depend on whether you want it or not.

Now, when you know what muscles are, its time for the facts:

The biggest muscle in the human body is the buttock muscle
You use 17 muscles in order to smile, and 43 to frown
When you move you use 200 muscles
The strongest muscle in the human body is located in the jaw and its name is the the masseter muscle
Your muscles are normally around 40-50% of your body weight
Every half a kilo (1 lb) of muscle you gain, your body burns an extra 50 calories a day
The fibers you already know about can support up to 1,000 times their own weight
75% of the muscle is water
Producing the human speech takes 72 different muscles
The human tongue consists of sixteen separate muscles, not one as many people think.

These are the interesting facts about the human muscles I am aware of. If you know more please leave a comment!

Oh I forgot one more fact, if you want to have stronger and bigger muscles check out MuscoMax!

2008-03-27T09:01:00.000-07:00

Taking a 5-10 minute cold shower is an unpopular but effective technique to keep you in shape and feeling good for many years.

Cold showers are known for these benefits:

Cleans the circulatory system.
Brings blood to the capillaries, therefore increasing circulation throughout the body.
Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood.
Reduces blood pressure on internal organs.
Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes.
Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
Strengthens the mucous membranes, which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs.

These benefits lead to a lot more like fat loss, healthy hair, more energy etc. Just 10 minutes of cold water... its that easy. But of course be careful, don't jump right under the water cause its not going to be pleasant and it might just draw you away from the procedure. Instead do it step by step, or in this case limp by limp!

In order to have a strong spirit you need to build your confidence, and one of the things that break many people's confidence is the color of their teeth. So I decided to post about it, but I had a problem... don't know much about dental care. So I asked my personal dentist "what is the best do it your self solution?" and he recommended tooth whitening strips.

These tooth whitening strips seem to be a cheap option and effective option.

They basically a piece of polyethylene which has a film of hydrogen peroxide on it. As you know, peroxide is the whitening agent used in most tooth whitening treatments.

Tooth whitening strips are very easy to use, you just press them on to your teeth and leave it there for some time ( 20-30 minutes ). Do this for 2 weeks to month and you will see the desired change ( if you had the luck to find good strips ).

The next question I asked is more than obvious- "What brand of tooth whitening strips will you recommend to me?" To my surprise he told me a web page- Maxodent.com
He told me some of his patients used it with great results, which surprised even him. So I checked the site out. These are the things that I found interesting:

After you have reached your goal, which should be in 14 days of use, your teeth will remain white up to 6 months.
The price is just $59.95, compared to the price my dentist charges this offer is amazing... I really hope you are not reading this...
There is a great set of testimonials backing up the product.
The offer comes with a 30 days money back guarantee, which is great. After all you should see results in 14 days. A month should be perfectly enough to decide if you are happy or you want your money back.

Horny Goat Weed a.k.a. Epimedium

2008-03-20T08:49:00.000-07:00

Horny Goat Weed or as some of you may know it Epimedium, is an natural and safe way to increase sexual libido in both male and female.

It was firstly discovered by an goat farmer who found out that when he gives his goats from this uncommonly looking weed they become more sexually active. This is the reason for the funny name "Horny Goat Weed"

This ancient Chinese herb works by increasing the blood levels of testosterone and corticosterone hormones. It also expands the circulatory system's blood vessels, improving the circulation of these hormones. This combination is responsible for the increased sexual desire in both genders. It also cures back , kidney , joint and liver problems.

Horny goat weed is safer than Viagra and other synthetic drugs because it produces less PDE5. This enzyme helps men get erection, but in big amounts leads to side effects such as stroke, heart attacks, low blood pressure, lack of vision and even sudden death. These exactly are the known side effects of the blue pill known as Viagra.

Epimedium is not only safer than Viagra but it is also cheaper, a bottle of good Horny Goat Weed pills ranges around 40 bucks containing around 60 pills ( Viagra- $20 per pill).

Such a good, recommendable Horny Goat Weed supplement is the " Horny Goat Weed Pills ". It contains all the benefits of epimedium we spoke about plus no need of prescription, 60 days 100% money back guarantee and it contains only 100% pure pharmaceutical grade ingredients which are regularly tested to ensure the safety and quality. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration ) has approved each ingredient as safe and all appear on the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) list.

A recent cellulite treatment offered in the beauty centers is the cellulite massage. It works by making the cells more active under the influence of the electromagnetic field, which is a result of the petting and the light pressure applied by the masseur.

The effect of the cellulite massage is greater when a gel or cream is applied on the cellulite area of the skin. These gels make the temperature of the skin go up, which also heps the blood flow.

The cellulite massage has great effect on the walls of the blood-vessels and the flow of blood and cellular fluid in the entire organism.

Also according to some studies such a massage help losing fats and weight controlling, so this is a great way to let someone else get you in shape!

Panax Ginseng Extract

2008-03-14T02:11:00.000-07:00

Panax Ginseng is an old herb used widely in Eastern Asia. How old? Well its usage can be traced back over approximately 5,000 years. Its many great benefits have earn the name Panax, which is derived from the Greek pan (all) akos (cure). And as for the word Ginseng it is from chinese and means "in the image of a man".

The Panax Ginseng extract is used for treating conditions like depression, insomnia, fatigue, aging, diabetes, tumors, mental and physical stress. It also acts as a stimulant, promoting endurance, boosting the immune system and improving mental awareness.

Panax Ginseng extract is used in supplements, mostly anti-aging and sexual performance and desire boosters. Im certain in the effects of only two such supplements, so I can't point you out a whole list.

Anti-aging supplement which uses Panax ginseng extract is Provacyl. It is a mix of many natural herbs and nutrients such as the one we already know about plus Ginkgo Biloba leaf, Acai fruit and more, which provide restored mental alertness, lean muscle mass gain, fat reducing, boosted sexual virility, increased energy levels and natural HGH releasing.

I called this supplement a sexual performance and desire booster, but it actually has a few more benefits like boosting stamina and helping maintain muscle health. This supplement`s name is Deer Antler plus. Exactly the velvet deer antlers make it so good for body building and or people who suffer from arthritis. Not many people know that the velvet deer antlers are composed of 50% amino acids.

Myopia and Pinhole-Glasses

2008-03-11T04:04:00.000-07:00

Myopia or nearsightedness is one of the most common eyesight problems and it recently is getting even more popular. People who suffer from this condition can't see distant objects clearly without glasses.

For most people myopia is hereditary and usually shows its symptoms (headache, eyestrain and fatigue) in childhood. Many times the conditions worsens worsens with age, and causes myopic creep.

Myopia can be treated in several ways, the 2 best treatments are:

Glasses and contact lenses
Laser-assisted surgery (LASIK)
Pinhole-glasses

In this post we will discuss the option of pinhole-glasses.

First of all you may ask why pinhole instead of normal glasses. The answer is simple- studies show that prescription glasses often assist in a faster degeneration of vision. Those results prove that using pinhole glasses is much better in the long run.

Why don't pinhole glasses have the same effect as prescription glasses?

Pinholes help the formation of a clear image on the retina without using diffraction. The same diffraction that makes prescription glasses dangerous.

The best place to look for pinhole glasses is at Pinhole Glasses They offer highly affordable glasses at the price of $19.99 a pair or the special offer of 2 pairs at $29.99 including free shipping. Their site also contains a testimonial page. This is just one of the many happy user mails:

"I want to tell you that I am very impressed with your glasses and prompt service. Your airmail package arrived very quickly and my eyesight is clear when I use the pinhole glasses. I used to struggle changing focus between my needlework and work order sheets at my workstation, but now I find it easy to do and it does not strain my eyes. I am definitely a fan of yours and may have some more orders for you from my co-workers." D.Allen - London, UK

I recommend you read a FAQ on pinhole glasses (to do so click on the orange "pinhole glasses" text ).

Hair Loss in Women

2008-03-08T02:12:00.000-08:00

Most people think that women don't suffer from hair loss, actually hair loss is part of the lives of more than 25 million women in the US alone. There are different types of hair loss in women. The most popular kind s is called Androgenetic Alopecia, aka Female Pattern Alopecia. This type of baldness doesn't mean total hair loss. It is simply the receding of the hairline above and in front of your head. This condition usually occurs after the menopause.

The pattern for hair loss in women may be noted with excess loss, but what brings women to professionals is the continuous thinning of the hair. It is an average of 100-150 hair strands per day that a person shed and people who already have thin hair have lower number of shedding. There is a pattern on hair loss in women. When the hair is being shed, roots grow shorter hair afterwards. After a while, it appears to be fuzzy. The genetic relations of both parents are also a factor on hair loss.

Some of the reasons for hair loss in women are unbalanced use of birth control pills, rapid weight loss, pregnancy ( which should last only 6 months ) and hereditary. Sudden mood swings and physical stress may also cause it.

Luckily, there are ways to treat hair loss in women. I usually recommend two products. Profinast and Herbofinax. Unfortunately they work only for male pattern baldness, so this time I will tell you about another product. Its name is Provillus and unlike the 2 above it offers a solution for male and female.Provillus for Women promotes hair follicle growth, thereby supporting hair re-growth. It keeps the hair healthy and full-bodied by supplying adequate nutrients.

5 Weight Loss Supplement Ingrediants That Most Of You Never Heard Of!

2008-03-06T06:38:00.000-08:00

These 3 natural ingredients are used in some weight loss supplements with great success. The interesting thing about them is that they are not very popular and make a great combination between each other, plus a couple of more well known weight loss helpers like Hoodia and green tea.

Chitosan
Chitosan is a starch found mainly in the exoskeletons of shellfish like crab and shrimp. This fiber works by binding with fat in the body and excreting it through the stool. Thats the reason it is used in some weight loss supplements.

White Kidney Bean Powder
Many studies show us that White Kidney Bean interrupts the digestive process that converts starch to sugar, this way it lowers the caloric intake from foods such as rice and bread. By reducing the absorption of these sugars, the body has fewer calories to store.

White Willow (bark)
White willow bark is a tree native to Europe and Asia. The name "white willow" comes from the color of the leaves, which are covered with fine white hairs. It is known for its ability to promote the metabolizing of fat and increase caloric expenditure.

L-Methionine
Methionine is a lipotropic, it helps the liver to process fats (choline, inosol, and betaine). It also prevents the accumulation of fat in the liver, and maintains normal liver function.

Beetroot
Beetroot encourages and supports liver metabolism, helping to normalize the Ph of the body and strengthening the blood.

Keep in mind that these 5 ingredients have more than one effect. For instance the beetroot has also kidney cleansing properties and many more benefits. As you already know the combination of these 5 and a few more herbs and nutrients gives you a powerful weight loss weapon. The good news is that you don't need to look for each one by itself. There is a supplement that contains all of them. This supplements name is ProShape RX. These pills are a mix of certified herbs and nutrients that have done the job for many like you.

The 2 Best Acne Treatment Products

2008-03-03T14:19:00.000-08:00

Acne is one of the most popular skin problems. This is the cause for having so many products, which claim they can remove acne overnight. And as I and you know some of them, or even most, don't work even after months of use. I personally found my cure in the ClearPores 3 way system, but I was thinking "what if there was someone to tell me about it, before I spend my time and money on all the other solutions?". So I decided to be that somebody for you. Here are, in my opinion, the 2 best acne treatment products:

ClearPores 3 way system

If you have seen some of my other posts on acne, you must have noticed that I recommend it. The reason for this is simple, I used it and it helped me. It is a 3 point facial and body system. The 3 points are- Deep Wash, Herbal supplement and Protection Cream.

The Deep Wash is used to unclog the pores and fight the bacteria, the supplement will help your body fight acne from the inside, with the help of herbs such as Aloe Vera, Echinacea and Dandelion. The third part of the system- the protection cream is used to keep the pores clean, moisturize the skin and protect it from drying out. It will do so for a period of 24 hours .

I found this video on the net, I think you might find it interesting.

For more info on ClearPores check out here!

Acnezine

It contains only natural ingredients such as Aloe Vera (leaf) and Bioperine Extract. They help control the free radicals that cause skin damage, aging and wrinkling, and that can contribute to infection. It also limits inflammation, promotes healing,helps take care of the ugly redness, and works to limit the inflammatory response that can cause scarring.

For more info check out here!

I hope this post will be of help to you. Once again I want to say that this is my opinion. And you are the one that has to decide for yourself. Good luck!

Menopause Symptoms

2008-02-28T12:47:00.000-08:00

If you are unsure you know what exactly menopause is, I suggest you read The Menopause

Menopause is different for every women, some have just a few symptoms ( around 12%) and others develop almost all of them (14%).

The average menopause age is 52 years, if it occurs before this age it is considered premature.

Here is an almost complete list of menopause symptoms.

Hot flashes
Sleep disorders
Night sweats
Changes in menstruation
Mood swings
Depression and anxiety
Irritability
Cardiovascular disease
Difficulties in concentrating
Mental confusion
Hair loss and hair thinning
Memory problems
Decline in libido
Vaginal dryness
Headaches
Urinary problems
Osteoporosis
Thinning of the skin around the cervix.
Breast tenderness
Tiredness
Weight gain

Symptoms can be noticed for several months to years before the last menstrual period and can continue for several years after, and as you already know the severity is different in every women. But some don't undergo even one of the symptoms. Why? Because they know how to treat menopause naturally. Tough taking all the herbs like Black cohosh, Dong quaiр and Promensil would help, there is a far better, easier and effective way. Natural supplements such as Menoaid and Menozac already contain all the herbs, nutrients and vitamins needed for an easy menopause. And this is all they contain, so they are 100% natural. If you are the type with a heavy menopause you better check them out.

A Hoodia Supplement Success Story!

2008-02-26T06:43:00.000-08:00

If you don't know what Hoodia gordonii is, my advise is to read this post- "What is Hoodia?".

In short the Hoodia gordonii plant is a natural appetite suppressant. It is found in South Africa and a few other countries including the USA. Fortunately Hoodia supplements can be found worldwide, or at least online stores deliver it almost worldwide.

As you know, losing weight comes trough eating right. Thats a bit hard to achieve when you crave for some chocolate ice cream or pop corns. Here is were Hoodia gordonii comes to help you. Some say its the key to sticking to a diet. And definitely is true for one person.

Today I stumbled on an article in my favorite bulgarian health newspaper. It was about a girl named Plamena Dimitrova, who lost over 20 pounds while taking Hoodia supplements. She knew what she had to do in order to lose weight. She exercised and tried to eat healthy, but she had a problem her appetite was voracious. Some times she was almost out of control, forgetting about diets and healthy eating, and even if she was actually eating something healthy, she would still eat too much and go over her calorie quota for the day. This was a huge problem which made her weigh loss dream seem impossible.

Then Plamena saw an article on Hoodia supplements on a blog, just like this one, then she checked out the site and saw all the great happy costumer testimonials and decided to give it a try. Soon after she started taking the supplements, she began to notice that the craving was gone and she didn't need to eat nearly as much food as she once demanded. Now Plamena follows her diet strictly and has some impressive results. Too bad the pictures are on the newspaper and I can't post them for now...

There are 3 morals to the story.

Appetite suppression is important because you can't have effective weight loss if you can't stop eating.
Hoodia gordonii works!
Never give up on your dreams, no matter how unachievable they seem!

There is one thing to keep in mind, not all hoodia supplements are the same. Although they may have hoodia in the name, some may not have any in their ingredients. Actually, most sold today are like that! They are not regulated by the government so the companies selling them have wide latitude in the claims they make.

Authentic supplements can play a big part of an overall weight loss program as shown by Plamena's success story. However, it's important to keep their role in perspective. Hoodia will not perform miracles for you, but it can sure be the key to your own success story!

Now the big question is. Which Hoodia supplements offer the real deal. I personally know of two. ProShape RX and H-oodia. They are both natural and they both will do the job. The difference between the two is that, ProShape RX contains not only Hoodia gordonii, but also a wide mix of herbs and nutrients like Green Tea, L-Methionine and more, so it will not only suppress appetite but also produce a couple of more great benefits like more energy, faster metabolic rate and quite a few more. Unlike it H-oodia, is based only on the Hoodia gordonii plant. Of course the good thing here is that this makes her cheaper. I personally would prefer ProShape, but that is for you to decide, my role is to give you the facts, which I already did. The only thing left for me is to wish you good luck!

Saw Palmetto Can Prevent Hair Loss?

2008-02-24T12:32:00.000-08:00

As you know saw palmetto is great for preventing cancer prostate and helping general prostate health, but what you probably don't know is that its also great for preventing hair loss.

Saw Palmetto, a.k.a Serenoa Repens, can be found in the southern USA. People with prostate problems have been using it for quite some time and they have noticed a side effect, a change in the amount of hair they had or a slowing down of hair loss. This convinced scientists to test the plant and see if it can really help people suffering from hair loss. The study showed that Saw Palmetto prevents hair loss by blocking the affects of testosterone.

Testosterone is linked to male pattern baldness. Most medications that are used to prevent male pattern baldness work by preventing the damaging affects of testosterone. They are a mix of herbs and plants, and as you see have more than one positive effect. For example taking a hair loss supplement containing Saw Palmetto will actually help your prostate health.

Medications containing Saw Palmetto are lotions, shampoos and supplements. The once with the most positive effects and the best reputation for stopping hair loss and promoting hair regrowth are the supplements. Such is Profinast, a mix of herbs, nutrients and vitamins that have helped many feel the difference. It not only contains Saw Palmetto, but also a ton of great herbs like Eleuthero Root , Uva-Ursi , Muria Puama and more.

My advise to you is- if you even see the smallest signs of hair loss act right away! As the problem progresses it will become harder to cure it, timing is the key.

Natural HGH Supplement

2008-02-22T01:49:00.000-08:00

Natural HGH supplements assist the body's production of growth hormones, thereby helping in the body building process. Most of the natural HGH supplements available on the market are either precursors of the human growth hormone or homeopathic versions of pharmaceutical GH substances. They work by stimulating the pituitary gland to create more HGH. These supplements are available in the shape of powders, pills, and capsules. They are absorbed into the body via the intestine. Most natural HGH supplements don't need any doctor prescriptions.

Natural HGH supplements enhance sexual health and libido, vitality, new hair growth, skin texture and the immune system. They reduce stiffness and joint pain, fat / cellulite and offer better sleep. Many take natural HGH supplements to look and feel younger, to lose weight, and tone their bodies. In middle aged people these supplements can prevent aging and osteoporosis.

Natural HGH supplements contain a specific blend of amino acids and nutrients which are proven to promote the natural production of HGH and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1). Some amino acids occur naturally like lysine, arginine, glysine, glutamine, pyroglutamate, tyrosine and ornathine. The ingredients are mixed into a complex of 191 amino acids, which closely resemble the molecular structure of HGH.

In addition to amino acids, some other compounds are also used for enhance the body building and repairing actions, they are multi vitamins, proteins, minerals and herbs, needed for proper growth.

Most natural HGH supplements are side effects free. You have to take them 1 to 3 times a day. Some companies who offer money back guarantee, this means that they are pretty confident in their product and also removes the risk of losing your money.

Such a natural HGH supplement is Provacyl. It offers the money back guarantee, contains not only HGH but many other proven and hard to find herbs and is backed by quite a few happy user`s testimonials. I personally recommend it.

Important: Natural HGH supplements are not to be used by pregnant women, people under 18 years, cancerous persons and those who have severe heart diseases.
