Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Hair Loss - How To Control DHT

By Orianna Rapheal Petrovsky


Did you know that the main explanation for hair loss in women and men is partly caused by the male hormone testosterone? Testosterone together with the enzyme called 5 alpha reductase which will help to produce DHT (dihydrotestosterone).

This DHT hormone will connect to a hair follicle. By doing so, DHT blocks nutrients from attending to the hair strand and the main hair follicle itself. It will finally cause the hair strand to fall out and the follicle to die. This kind of hair loss is named androgenetic alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) and Female Pattern Baldness (FPB).

In men, testosterone is created within the testes. This manufacturing will start within the fetus at around the eighth week. This hormone is accountable for the development of the male's deep voice, and the growth of his hair, muscles and bone.

I discovered that two herbs, Saw Palmetto and Pygeum will block DHT. Saw Palmetto is probably the best known of the two. It's believed to act in two ways. First it lowers DHT by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme. The second manner it helps with controlling androgenetic alopecia, is by blocking receptor sites wanted to soak up DHT.

Pygeum comes from the African continent and is the bark of the African evergreen. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, thus serving to to cease the development of DHT.

If you are going to use both Saw Palmetto or Pygeum, you will have higher luck in stopping MPB or FPB through the use of the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) permitted drug Minoxidil. This is accepted for use by each men and women coping with MPB or FPB.

Another FDA authorised drug is Propecia. This is taken in capsule type, however is not authorized for use by ladies since it might cause birth defects.

Conclusion - Testosterone performs a major roll in causing MPB or FPB by interacting with the enzyme, 5 alpha reductase. This creates DHT which blocks nutrients from reaching the hair follicle and hair strand. Those herbs and medicines used to control pattern baldness do not assault testosterone but mainly the 5 alpha reductase enzyme.

Real Dating Advice For Women - Keep The Spark Alive

By Stephen Harrold


Dating advice for women can be complicated sometimes. There are so many different things to remember while you're on a date. In this article you will find a few advice tips for you to work on while you're on a date. Always remember though, it is only a guideline and it's you on the date, not the person writing the article.

Being yourself on a date is the most important piece of advice. Men don't like a women who pretend to be someone else. If the man you're on a date with is meant to be with you, he will like you for who you are and not who you could be. He may become very angry with you if you pretend to be someone else. Once you have eventually decided that you are tired of the charade and become yourself, he may feel hurt that you lied and may not understand that you were only trying to impress him.

A compliment should always be accepted with a "Thank you" and a smile. You should accept the compliment and prove to him you are sure of yourself. Some men genuinely mean a compliment when they give one. When you accept it, try not to go to far and begin complimenting yourself. You should just accept and believe you may be beautiful after all.

Previous relationships should never be discussed on a date. Complaining or raving about past relationships could give the impression you are still attached to your previous boyfriend or that you are comparing your date to a previous man. This conversation may push the gentleman away, he may feel he doesn't want to risk the chance of you deciding you mad a mistake by ending your relationship with your previous boyfriend.

Positivity is what should be evident during your date. A women who complains or nags about everything will quickly annoy a man and cause him run the other way. He will not want to spend time with a woman if she consistently complains and shows much negativity towards everyone. This would not pleasant for a man to endure.

The age old saying of making a man wait for you to arrive for your date is really a myth. Men will quickly become irritated if you are continually late for a date. If something comes up and you are genuinely going to be late for your meeting with him, phone ahead and explain the situation and give him a time frame of how much longer you are going to be. Tardiness is not something that will build anticipation; it only shows that you don't really care about being on time.

You should always be honest with your opinions. If you go the way of always agreeing with the man, you may be showing that you are not very interested in the conversation and that you're only agreeing with him to please him. He may find it flattering the first one or two times but after a while may become bored and uninterested in starting a relationship with you. By expressing your views in a polite manner and not causing an argument, you prove that you're not a push over and you're able to make your own decisions in life. It will add a bit of spice to your relationship and not turn into the boring relationship we all avoid.

When you date is over say goodbye and go home. Don't phone the next day and ask when your next date is. You should always wait a couple days to call. When you do call. Keep the conversation light. Ask after his well being and chat in a friendly manner. If he is interested in you he will make time to call you to set up a next date. Constantly calling him will chase him in the opposite direction. Constant calls will portray yourself as being needy or desperate and this is a big no no.

After all is said and done dating advice for girls really can be tricky so always try to relax on a date. Anxiety will push him away from you. Keep calm and be yourself, after all you may end up spending the rest of your life with him. First impressions are what last, so make a good one.

Answering The Question: Does Alcohol Cause Acne And Why?

By Eugene Yeng


There are two main forms of acne that can be in the answer to: Does alcohol cause acne and why? There is conflicting advice about using the rubbing compound topically to shrink pores and disinfect skin in an effort to fight acne. There is also a debate over whether it is helpful to eliminate all alcoholic beverages from the diet when trying to obtain a clear complexion.

The unsightly skin eruptions and swellings that happen with an outbreak of acne affect most humans at some point in their lives, especially during puberty. The problem is a mere annoyance for many and clears up as adolescence ends, although problems may reemerge during pregnancy or times of unusual stress. For others, however, the condition may be severe and long-lasting and may cause permanent scarring to the face.

The breakouts can be very disturbing for those who suffer extreme acne, since it is on the face and detracts from both physical beauty and the sufferer's self-esteem. For this reason, there is much interest in an absolute cure or in ointments, skin washes, or medications which promise relief. The market has stimulated a great deal of research, which has helped to determine some causes of the condition and found some helpful pointers and remedies, although no definitive cure.

This skin condition causes both physical harm, as it may be very unsightly for months, years, and even decades, and mental distress. Appearance is important to many, especially during the teenage years, and a loss of self-esteem and social comfort often accompanies this problem. For this reason, interest runs high in cures and remedies, there is a strong market for skin care products, and much research has been done in this area. However, no definitive cure has been found and no one cause has been pinpointed.

Alcohol as either a beverage or a topical application does not cause skin eruptions, as in the form of an allergic reaction (such as hives) or as a contact reaction to an irritant. However, both forms do have drawbacks and many experts implicate them in the list of aggravating actions and substances. It has been established by researchers that B vitamins are important in maintaining the health of the whole body, including the skin, and also that alcoholic beverages drain these essential nutrients from the system.

The hormonal changes of adolescence and pregnancy, as well as a too high stress load, have been shown to exacerbate this condition. The glands that produce hormones may be over-stressed by many factors, both in the lifestyle and in the chemical make-up of the whole system. Drinking fermented beverages such as beer and wine, as well as hard liquor, can reduce levels of nutrients already lowered by stress or a inadequate diet and make the situation worse. They also tend to make the body more acidic, which helps contribute to bacteria overgrowth and a suppressed immune system. These problems will often have negative effects on the complexion.

Rubbing alcohol is a different form, one which is sometimes recommended as a drying agent and a disinfectant. Many skin conditioners actually contain this substance as one main ingredient. However, many health practitioners feel that this may actually stimulate oil production and cause pores to tighten too much for normal cleansing and moisturizing actions. Many of the online sites do not recommend this as a topical agent, and of course it is a poison when taken internally.

There are both yes and no responses to this question: does alcohol cause acne and why? The internet is full of information, and all who suffer from this skin condition will probably benefit from reading the information found online. Diet and lifestyle changes alone may really be beneficial.

Body Language

By Bath Hugenkiss


From infancy, we begin to use body language to express ourselves, from everything between needs and feelings. It is how we learn to get our needs met. As we age while learning to talk, we continue to use a series of body language signals along with a grunt here and there to entertain, have a need met, or show an emotion we are feeling that we are not yet able to express verbally. If, while we are young, our caretakers pick up our body language signals easily, as we age we are more apt to continue to refine the skill of using body language.

However, when our body language signals go unnoticed as an infant or throughout childhood, in adulthood, the use of body language often goes to the wayside. Those are the adults you hear people refer to as "hard to read". Although they can make great poker players, it does little for the art of subtle communication. Like the saying goes, if you don't use it, you lose it, or in the least, get real rusty at it.

Life is a game of sorts. There are no guarantees in anything, however, you can higher your odds in the game of life if practice, and not just your body language skills, but your ability to read body language, and all other aspects of life. Communication through all forms is detrimental in life. It can make the difference between landing a dream job or that dream mate and many other factors. People use on an average of 50% body language to 50% verbal language when communicating.

If you cannot pick up the subtle nuances of the body language someone is giving, the message you may be receiving verbally could be quite different then what they intended on it being. The more you try to use and learn how to pick up on body language signals the better you will get at it. If you don't get it the first time, then continue to try and keep trying. People watching is a great way to brush up on your ability to read body language. Go to a mall and just sit on a bench and try

There are several main types of body language. Two of the most common types of body language people can pick up on easily generally are romantic and greeting body language. Other forms of body language are aggressive, attentive, bored, closed, deceptive, defensive, dominant, emotional, evaluating, open, power, ready, relaxed, and submissive. We will look at each category listed alphabetically, and explain signals used in each.
