Foods to avoid for healthy hair and hair loss?
Everyone wants to have healthy hair. Your diet plays an important role not only in keeping up your general health but also in improving the health of your hair.
Foods loaded with chemicals, with no nutritional value or energetically altered are of no value to your body. In fact such foods will have bad effects on your hair.
Here is a list of foods to be avoided for healthy hair:
Monosodium Glutamate is a chemical found to be dangerous. It causes weight gain, increases appetite and also causes various kinds of health problems. So avoid foods that contain this chemical.
Aspartame is also a toxin that makes you gain weight, increases hunger and causes medical problems like PMS and migraines. So avoid foods that contain this chemical.
Never use hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated oil in cooking. Never eat foods with these oils, as they are trans fats. Trans fats can cause heart disease, weight gain and other medical problems like hair loss.
Avoid sugar that is processed, as it becomes a refined white powder. All the natural content in it will be taken out. Sugar will have many chemicals that are used for growing sugarcane. So it should be necessarily avoided.
Never eat foods that claim to be "Natural" or "Artificial Flavor". This means that these foods contain chemicals and are grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
Be careful while using spices. They may look to be very healthy. But many of them are really are not healthy as you think. Companies that make them use many chemicals and put them in food products. But at the end they label it as a spice. In reality, you are getting more salt, oregano, pepper and the likes in these foods.
Avoid foods that use artificial color. If any food has dye in it, its better to stay away from it. A dye is nothing but a chemical poison.
Avoid palm oil because it is unhealthy oil and can also cause various physical problems.
Avoid foods that contain dextrose, fructose and sucrose. These are chemically made sweeteners and not good for your health at all.
Avoid foods that contain Sucrulose and Splenda. It is man-made, unnatural and artificial. It can cause problems like increase in appetite, depression and allergies that can further lead to hair loss.
Avoid enriched bleached white flour because it has no fiber and no nutritional value. And, it is highly refined too. Instead take organic wheat flour. Also you can take other organic flours like rye, millet, etc.
Avoid taking soy protein isolate, which can be found in protein shakes and also in protein or food bars. Hexane, which is a petroleum solvent like gasoline, will be used in its refining process. So it is always better to avoid this.

How to DeStress by Ms. Pam N. Woods (The Top 10 Steps to DeStress) [Ref: H08L21-1220]
Do you feel tense and anxious at work?
Do your co-workers and/or boss make you crazy? Is your personal life less than blissful? If so, you've got stress. If you're like most people you've sought refuge from this situation by trying a quick fix or two like calling a friend, walking the dog, or going away for the weekend in an attempt to escape it all. While these strategies may serve as temporary diversions, nothing in your life changes when you return to your routine.
Stress is internal, which explains why it can wreak havoc on your health. It feels awful...it's the sense that you're not in control. The easiest way to mitigate its effect is to take charge of the one and only thing you have the power to control...YOU, and let go of what you can't control. The beauty of this recipe is that by taking control of your life, external or outside things will change in response to your internal changes.
Here are 10 steps to destress for your present and future:
1. Heal yourself.
Dr. Bruce McEwen, who wrote The End of Stress As We Know It, suggests that eliminating stress comes right from your grandmother's journal. He says the most effective steps you can take are the simplest: exercise, a healthy diet, regular sleep, moderate to minimal alcohol intake, and no smoking. This, he notes, is the most sophisticated, up to the minute, cutting edge science available!
2. Get organized.
Physical clutter reminds us of things that need to be done and that's stressful. Remove your physical clutter and you'll eradicate your mental clutter, plus you'll feel energized. Please go to http://topten.org/public/AG/AG306.html for a simple organizing solution that will work on any space.
3. Set boundaries.
Boundaries act as a filter to keep you safe from the hurtful behavior of others while allowing in the love, support and nurturing actions we all need. Set your boundaries by: (a) determining what others cannot do to you or in your presence and (b) sharing this information respectfully with anyone who is stepping over one of your boundaries.
4. Take time for yourself.
Put together a list of all the things you love to do but haven't regularly made time to do. Put your list in priority order and enter the top five to seven items into your daily calendar. Your list may include things as simple as journaling, reading a great book, taking a bubble bath, yoga, etc. You'll be more successful getting to these activities when you give them a time and place on your calendar.
5. Be positive.
William James, the father of modern psychology said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind." In other words, what you say and what you tell yourself impact the present and create your future. Love yourself and use the power of positive words, pleasing thoughts and affirming beliefs to live the life you want to live.
6. Work in a career you love.
If you're like most people, you spend the majority of your waking hours at work. You'll know you're in the right profession when: you wake up anxious to go to work, you want to do your best daily, and you know your work is important.
7. Surround yourself with a supportive community.
You are who you spend time with. Hang out with people who love and accept you just the way you are, are interested in you (not what you can do for them), lift you up (not wear you down), solve problems quickly, don't gossip or complain, and know how to have fun. Anything is possible with the right support.
8. Learn to say, "No."
We've all been influenced by people in our life who tell us we should do this or we ought to do that. As a result, we may end up living a life that others have decided for us versus living the life we want. So, the next time you think of something you ought to do or someone else suggests you should do, take a breath and ask yourself if it's something you want to do. If not, just say, "no" or "no thank you." When you say no to things you don't care to do, you are saying yes to you and this will free up your time and energy for the things you choose to do. Bottom line - you'll be happier.
9. Zap tolerations.
A toleration is something that irritates you and drains your energy because it needs to be done, fixed, removed, or changed. If you're like most people you may be tolerating 100 or more things! Put together a list of all the things that bug you, e.g. a dripping faucet, money concerns, your weight, shopping and running errands, not enough time, computer files out of control, your hair, a room that needs to be painted, etc. When your list is complete, group like items and see if one solution will eliminate multiple tolerations. For example, if you have piles of clothing in each bedroom, dirty windows and dust bunnies on your floor, hiring a housekeeper will zap all three tolerations. Line up a housekeeper, today. Then, commit to spending a chunk of time each week to zap your other tolerations. If you have a toleration that you don't have the skill or know-how to fix, consider calling an expert or seek out a skilled professional to trade services with.
10. Get your needs met.
A "need" is not an option, it is something you must have to function fully. It is differentiated from a "want" in that a want is optional. Unmet needs can drive you to distraction and worse. Determine what needs you have that aren't being met, if any, and then take the appropriate action to get them fulfilled. Example: If you've taken a big hit and are going through a career transition, ask a good friend to call you two or three times a week to check in with you and give you support. Other options include calling your own voice mail and leaving supportive messages or hiring a coach who specializes in career transitions. When you acknowledge and satisfy your needs, you will be free to focus on other areas of your life.
If you want to be happier and more successful, focus on the things you have the power to control.

Put together a list of all the things that bug you, e.g. a dripping faucet, money concerns, your weight, shopping and running errands, not enough time, computer files out of control, your hair, a room that needs to be painted, etc. When your list is complete, group like items and see if one solution will eliminate multiple tolerations. For example, if you have piles of clothing in each bedroom, dirty windows and dust bunnies on your floor, hiring a housekeeper will zap all three tolerations. Line up a housekeeper, today. Then, commit to spending a chunk of time each week to zap your other tolerations. If you have a toleration that you don't have the skill or know-how to fix, consider calling an expert or seek out a skilled professional to trade services with.
10. Get your needs met.
A "need" is not an option, it is something you must have to function fully. It is differentiated from a "want" in that a want is optional. Unmet needs can drive you to distraction and worse. Determine what needs you have that aren't being met, if any, and then take the appropriate action to get them fulfilled. Example: If you've taken a big hit and are going through a career transition, ask a good friend to call you two or three times a week to check in with you and give you support. Other options include calling your own voice mail and leaving supportive messages or hiring a coach who specializes in career transitions. When you acknowledge and satisfy your needs, you will be free to focus on other areas of your life.
If you want to be happier and more successful, focus on the things you have the power to control.

Can Stress cause Cancer?
The following is an extract from an article title ‘The link between stress and cancer ‘ by Dr. Ang Peng Tiam in “Mind Your Body” of the Strait Times dated 18 December 2008.
………. I remember a conversation in 1992, when Professor Sun Yan, a renowned oncologist from Beijing, visited Singapore. He was asked whether he believed that stress can cause cancer. Without hesitation, he said: 'Of course, stress definitely causes cancer.'
I was taken aback and asked him why he gave such a confident response. He went on to talk about the Cultural Revolution in China.
During that period, between 1965 and 1975, ordinary Chinese people came under tremendous psychological stress. Betrayal by friends and family, oppression of thought and mandatory and harsh new routines created an upheaval in their lives.
'During that period, I was already a doctor and there was a sudden rise in the number of cancer patients in all the hospitals,' Prof Sun related.
'We saw many more cancer patients. The common factor among them was the tremendous psychological stress they were all experiencing. That's why I'm sure that stress is one of the causes of cancer.'
At the time, I had doubted his conclusion. Today, after more than 20 years in the field of oncology, I am more inclined to believe him.
So how does stress cause cancer?
Evidence from animal and human studies has shown that chronic stress weakens the immune system which is responsible for constant surveillance within our bodies for infections and cancers.
This system seeks out and destroys abnormal cancer cells which may arise from time to time. When it fails, the cells can go undetected and grow into malignant tumours.
For the same reason, patients suffering from Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or post-kidney transplant patients on immunosuppressive drugs, are more prone to developing certain cancers.
There is also some data suggesting that cancer patients who feel helpless and have negative emotions tend to be worse off. The 'bad vibes' promote the growth or spread of cancer, although this relationship was not consistently seen in all the studies.
So how can anyone, particularly a cancer patient, cope with stress?
Faith in God is one way. By entrusting one's life to a supreme being, the burden is taken off oneself.
Exercise, meditation, leisure activities, counselling and use of anti-anxiety drugs may all help in improving one's psychological well-being too.
Even though I sometimes struggle to see the many patients waiting to see me, I constantly remind myself to practise what I preach: 'Be happy and live each day to its fullest'.
You don't need science to tell you that.
Dr Ang, the medical director of Parkway Cancer Centre, has been treating cancer patients for nearly 20 years. In 1996, he was awarded Singapore's National Science Award for his outstanding contributions to medical research.

High heart rates linked to obesity, diabetes: study
HONG KONG (Reuters) – High resting heart rates may be linked to the development of obesity and diabetes, a Japanese study shows.
Heart rate is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), a network of neurons in the body operating without conscious thought. It is also believed to affect the large intestine, blood vessels, pupil dilation, perspiration and blood pressure.
In an article published in the American Journal of Hypertension, researchers in Japan said people with resting heart rates of over 80 beats per minute had higher odds of developing insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular problems.
The project was one of the first studies to assess the impact of higher heart rates on the body's metabolism. It involved 614 participants who were followed over a period of 20 years.

Battling The Doldrums (Low Spirits/Depression)
No one can deny that the best way to fight the blues is by trying to lighten your mood. However, that is easier said than done. You need to work at it.
Psychologist Daniel Koh (of Insights-Tse Pte Ltd) has some suggestions:
1 Watch a funny movie:
When we smile or laugh, the relaxation of the facial muscles sends a message to our brain that we are in a happy state and the pleasure felt during this process will make us want to laugh even more.
Laughter helps to lower blood pressure and may even lower the level of the stress-creating hormones in your body.
Plus, it increases blood flow to the heart and lungs, boosting your energy levels in the process.
Overall, regular doses of hearty laughter can also help improve your immune system.
Laughing can bring people closer together too, thus reinforcing a sense of social support for a person who's feeling the blues.
Laughter yoga and laughter therapy has been gaining popularity all over the world in the last few years.
Many health professionals believe in its therapeutic benefits and hospitals in countries like the United States are incorporating laughter therapy into their programmes.
2 Get some exercise:
Besides being a healthy way to vent emotions, exercise can improve brain function by triggering the production of endorphins - natural pain-relievers which, when released through physical exertion, can also give a sense of well-being .
Exercise can also help stabilise the neurotransmitter levels in a person's brain which can lead to an improved mood.
Therefore, regular exercise can help reinforce a positive mindset.
Joining a sports or exercise group activity can also improve one's social network, which can help those who are feeling lonely.
3 Socialise:
Those feeling low should engage with friends who are positive in their outlook, supportive and not unnecessarily critical.
When people are depressed, they may feel isolated, hopeless or helpless. Having a good social network to provide support and reassurance can help one snap out of a negative mood.
In communicating with others, negative emotions can be expressed and we can also learn from others how to cope with depressive feelings.
4 Get away from it all:
Take a walk in a park or go on a short holiday to de-stress and remove yourself from the environment that may be bringing you down.
It can help you think more objectively about whatever it is that is bothering you. The bottom line is that when you are relaxed, you will be able to think better and more rationally.
By changing your environment, you may be able to get a fresh perspective on life and find the motivation to move on.
5 Tell yourself to stay positive and mentally disciplined:
'Positive self-talk' can help rebuild your confidence and self-esteem. This can be done through mentally encouraging yourself to stay positive and to accomplish any tasks ahead.
Such thinking can build upon itself and help you fight off feelings of loss or failure associated with the economy.
By planning your expenditures carefully, you can help remove some unnecessary stress in your life as well. Avoiding impulsive spending can also help you improve your self-control in the long run.

5 Bad Eating (Food) Habits That Contribute To Hair Loss
1. Mass Consumption Of Processed Foods
Processed foods often lack the vitamins and minerals you need to maintain healthy hair. Foods often lose much of their nutritional benefits when they are cooked or microwaved. Without those nutrients your hair will suffer.
The best way to get some of those lost nutrients is by eating some uncooked raw vegetables. You could have a salad for example. You can also get some of your foods from natural health food stores like Whole Food Market or Trader Joe's.
You can also take vitamin and mineral supplements instead. However, unlike food sources, you can overdose taking supplements.
2. Drinking Soft Drinks
Most soft drinks are loaded with sugar.
Even diet soft drinks have a lot of sugar in them. The average diet soft drink has the equivalent of 10 cubes of sugar. Non-diet soft drinks have considerably more.
That's for a 12 ounce cup! They aren't considering the 32 ounce super sized drink you get at your local fast food restaurant.
3. Eating Too Much sugar
Most people don't realize just how much sugar they consume every day. The average person consumes 20 teaspoons of sugar a day (the average teenager 34).
Sugar can deplete the body of nutrients and raise adrenal levels. The elevated adrenal levels cause the body to produce more androgen and cause androgenic hair loss.
4. Eating Too Much Salt
Table salt has also been linked to hair loss. Some people often take idolized salt for Iodine supplementation. Fish is a better source of Iodine than table salt. Sea Salt is also a good alternative.
5. Eating Too Much Saturated Fat
Eating foods with saturated fat could cause increased DHT levels in the body. You should limit the amount of saturated fat you consume while taking prescription hair loss treatments.

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease
Website: http://www.heartattackproof.com/
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women.
But, as Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former internationally known surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, explains in his book "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease" it can be prevented, reversed, and even abolished.
Dr. Esselstyn argues that conventional cardiology has failed patients by developing treatments that focus only on the symptoms of heart disease, not the cause.
Based on the groundbreaking results of his 20-year nutritional study—the longest study of its kind ever conducted—this book explains, with irrefutable scientific evidence, how we can end the heart disease epidemic in this country forever by changing what we eat.
Here, Dr. Esselstyn convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet cannot only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects.
The proof is in the results. The patients in Dr. Esselstyn’s initial study came to him with advanced coronary artery disease.
Despite the aggressive treatment they received, among them bypasses and angioplasties, most were told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live.
Within months on Dr. Esselstyn’s program, their cholesterol levels, angina symptoms, and blood flow improved dramatically. Twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.

Raw-vegan food is considered healthy because of its living enzymes.
Raw-vegan diet is similar to vegan diet (a diet that excludes meat and dairy) and adds the additional caveat that all food should be eaten raw.
Raw-vegan diet consists of fruits, vegetables, sprouted grains and legumes, seeds and nuts.
Raw-vegan food is considered healthy because of its living enzymes.
The enzymes in food aid in digestion and are destroyed at 118 degrees of heat.
Therefore in order to digest cooked food your body has to use its own metabolic enzymes which takes energy from your body and leaves you feeling sluggish.
Heating also depletes food of vitamins and minerals which is why cooked food is thought to lead to excessive food consumption in the body's attempt to gain adequate nutrition.
According to Jinjee Talifero, co-author of The Garden Diet, "Not only does cooked food contain extremely limited nourishment, but it also contains numerous toxins.
Scientists in Sweden recently discovered that heated carbohydrates contain a known toxin which renders water to be classified unfit for drinking when it contains this toxin in far smaller quantities/"

Things to avoid when dealing with difficult people:
BB has been a difficult person to deal with. He gave problems again this morning. I got the following from the internet to help myself.
Avoid these “don'ts” when dealing with difficult people:
(1) Don't take difficult people's behavior personally. Their troublesome behavior is habitual and affects most people with whom they come in contact.
(2) Don't fight back or try to beat them at their own games. They have been practicing their skills for a lifetime, and you're an amateur.
(3) Don't try to appease them. Difficult people have an insatiable appetite for more.
(4) Don't try to change them. You can only change your responses to their behavior.

Recipe of Green Smoothie: Spinach + Banana + Ice cubes [First Trial on 24 November 2008]
At about 1930 pm on 2008-11-24 Tue, I made the following smoothie (First Trial for this recipe) with the following:
(a) 100g raw spinach
(b) 100g banana without skin
(c) ice cubes 100g
Method: Use Smoothie Function of Philips Blender HR 2094 3 times for about 30 seconds each time with a 5-second break in between.
Basic information of the product
Quantity =About 330 ml
No. Of Serves = 1 (330 ml)
Taster: Myself
Verdict: Ok. Smooth because of the banana. The taste is as good as pure fruits smoothie. If the smoothie is good for my health, it is acceptable. My main concern is that the spinach I used was not organic. Any residual pesticide left on the spinach???

What determines a person's state of health [Ref: H08K16-CPHP]
In short, whether a person is healthy or not depends on what a person eats and how that person lives day to day.
What determines a person's state of health is the daily accumulation of things such as food, water, exercise, sleep, work and stress.

What are the standard Blood Pressure Classifications?
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) jointly developed the following blood pressure classification. This classification, however, this is only a general guideline because your optimum blood pressure depends on your age, morbidity, and treatment strategy by a physician. Consult your physician to determine your optimum blood pressure.
| | Systolic (mm Hg) | Diastolic (mm Hg) |
| Optimal | Less than 120 | Less than 80 |
| Normal | Less than 130 | Less than 85 |
| High-Normal | 130 to 139 | 85 to 89 |
| Stage 1 Hypertension (mild) | 140 to 159 | 90 to 99 |
| Stage 2 Hypertension (moderate) | 160 to 179 | 100 to 109 |
| Stage 3 Hypertension (severe) | 180 or greater | 110 or greater |

Can we learn to be happy? – Introducing “The World Happiness Forum”
Can we learn to be happy?
This is the key question that has motivated the development of a series of groundbreaking conferences in Sydney, London, San Francisco and Singapore and the establishment of the World Happiness Forum.
The new science of positive psychology is at the forefront of research into how we can use our own minds to create happier lives.
Meanwhile, neuroscience is reporting on the connection between training the mind to be more positive and actual changes in the structure of the brain.
Both of these fields hold the tantalising prospect that happiness can be enhanced by mental training.
The World Happiness Forum is an international non-profit body established to promote dialogue on the tools and techniques that can be drawn from science, psychology, philosophy, economics and religion for the enhancement of human happiness.
It is motivated by a belief in the potential of the mind for growth and change and the need to look inward, as well as outward, for solutions to problems of dissatisfaction and suffering in daily life.

Physicians, nutrition and disease prevention
For most physicians, nutrition is not of significant interest. It is not an essential pillar of medical education.
Each generation of medical students learn about different sets of pills and procedures, but receive almost no training in disease prevention.
And in practice, doctors are not rewarded for educating patients about the merits of truly healthy lifestyles.

What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure in the blood due to the beating heart.
There are two types of blood pressure: systolic and diastolic.
The systolic blood pressure corresponds to the pressure of the blood when the heart has imparted the maximum pressure.
The diastolic blood pressure is the pressure when the heart is in the resting phase.A more detailed description can be found here.
