Quick fixes for hair-health issues

Rapid cures for hair-health problems

Are you having trouble with your hair? Is your mane losing its luster? Do your threads fall in large clumps that always clog the shower drain? If you experience one or all of these hair issues, you are on a slow but steady road to baldness. Before you start stressing and pulling your strands out, you might want to try these quick cures for hair problems!

A fast-acting solution for falling hair

If you wake up every morning to see your pillow covered in threads of hair, you might be experiencing an early form of hair loss. At this point, it is not too late to consider safe and practical solutions for avoiding complete balding.

A quick cure for hair problems is boosting the health of your scalp follicles. These cells are responsible for the correct development of reliable and sturdy threads. A fast-acting method of nourishing them back to full health is taking FollicleRX regularly. Take a look here. This natural formula delivers a potent dose of nutrients that may diminish breakage.

Use a creamy mask

Experts agree that the first step to curing hair problems is to increase the number of nutrients that your mane receives. You can do so by applying a creamy mask of Greek yogurt and honey to your threads every day. While this mixture seems more appealing as a breakfast meal, it also provides your scalp with essential vitamins and minerals that help follicles produce more and stronger strands than before.

Apply a quick oily hair mask

If you don't want to mix any yogurt or honey in your hair, you can opt for a less creamy and oilier cover for your mane. A good option is a mix of green tea and olive oil that you should apply to your threads regularly. This oily hair mask is rich in antioxidants that give your threads luster and thickness.

Why most workout routines fail

Reasons behind workout failures

Most men over 40 that look with disappointment at their saggy arms and beer bellies try to get in shape and regain their muscular figures. Their first step is to join a gym, start lifting weights and running on treadmills. However, they soon give up and reverse to their usual sedentary lifestyles. What is wrong with their plans? Why do most workout routines fail? Let's find out!

Low stamina for extensive routines

Men lose their strength and endurance to the physical effort as they grow old. This natural process occurs as a result of a weak production of testosterone. This hormone is responsible for all the manly features that you have, including muscle power, stamina, and even sex drive.

A low level of testosterone produces hormonal imbalance, which damages your ability to sustain long exercise routines. Therefore, as you age, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain a fit body and overcome exhausting workouts.

Poor workout results

It is entirely common to obtain poor workout results if your body does not produce enough testosterone. The absence of this hormone in your blood reduces energy, makes you tire quickly and lose motivation.

The only way you can improve your performance and get the muscle gains that you deserve and strive for is to increase testosterone production. Hormonal balance should enhance your endurance and provide you with better results in the long run.

Solutions for maximum performance

Most workout routines fail because your body does not produce a steady level of hormones to sustain extended physical activity. Fortunately, you can use AndroDNA to boost testosterone production and improve your overall strength and stamina.

This dietary supplement delivers a significant amount of nutrients that permeate the bloodstream and activates testosterone-producing cells to help you regain and improve your masculine features.

Living with a family member suffering from ADHD – how to cope with things

adhd kid with mom

Nowadays more and more children get diagnosed with ADHD, and most of them carry this condition throughout their entire life. Though they are many treatment options available, coping with the side effects alone sometimes can be a handful. Fortunately for you, Synaptol is an all-natural remedy for ADHD found at http://www.adhdhomeopathicmedicine.com, and because it contains only herbs, it has slim to none side effects and will dramatically improve attention span, memory, and other symptoms.

How to make it work

Having a family member diagnosed with ADHD, whether there’s a child, spouse, sister or any other relative, can be extremely challenging and you may often find yourself hopeless, not knowing what more to do. Here are some things you should take into consideration:

  1. Be patient: individuals who have ADHD don’t do things willingly. They are very eager to help, they want everything to perfect, tidy and organized but they just don’t know how to make them happen. Once you understand this disease not only frustrates you but the other person as well, you can respond in more positive manners. Patience is vital when dealing with someone with ADHD. Just repeat a few more times the task you need them to do and support them along the way.
  2. Don’t criticize: Since they are not disorganized on purpose and they don’t break promises willingly, criticizing them will just make them feel lonely, ashamed, unwanted, and extremely afraid to fail again. Show compassion and focus on the efforts, not the results.
  3. Take care of yourself: You need to be healthy and confident to take care of a family member with ADHD. You are entitled to receive a break now and then too. Exercising is an efficient way to eliminate stress, and you can include your ADHD family member as well. It can help burn off the extra energy they may have and can improve concentration

Is Synaptol good for ADHD?

If you want an alternative to the classical stimulants, use Synaptol. It’s a homeopathic treatment that contains flower essences and essential nutrients that will improve your family member’s symptoms. It’s safe to use for adults and children over the age of two as well. This treatment will enhance memory, make the person less easily distracted and improve attention span.

Living with a family member who has ADHD can often make you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated since you have to carry most of the house responsibilities. Try adopting a more positive view and your relationships will dramatically improve.

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS SKINNY FEELS.

Kate Moss

Recently Kate Moss told interviewer Brid Costello that one of her mottoes is “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

My first reaction was to recite that to myself 800 times a day and see if it worked. I’ve been having a lot of trouble getting motivated to lose weight in the last couple of years. I thought maybe this would help.

THE PROBLEM WITH VACATION

Eating

Besides the obvious fact that I haven’t been posting with any regularity whatsoever, my biggest problem with being on vacation is that I can’t seem to stop eating.

Actually eating and drinking.

I know that Thanksgiving is a big food holiday, but that was almost a week ago. Ick. All my clothes feel too tight. It is like when we went on a cruise for our honeymoon and dress I brought for the formal dinner fit great on Tuesday and was embarrassingly snug for Friday night. Yes, I have been eating and drinking like I was on a cruise.

WHY SLEDDING BLOWS

Sledding

We drive to the hill.

My car almost gets stuck in the snow.

There is this hill by our neighborhood pool. At the top of the hill there are tennis courts. At the bottom of the hill is the parking lot. This hill must be 45 feet wide and 15 feet up. There are stairs leading up to the tennis court area on the left.

I take one picture. This one.

Ian takes his first run down the hill he immediately flips over and hits his head on the stairs.

MY PHILOSOPHY ON LAUNDRY

Laundry

Note: Do you ever spend time on a writing assignment only to realize that you weren’t assigned the laundry post, you were assigned the post about messy bedrooms? No. Just me, huh? Whatever. Here is a post I wrote for BlogHer about how I am a laundry slacker.

My philosophy on doing laundry is entirely based on a two word phrase. “As needed.”

WHY YOUTH SPORTS ARE VITAL

Sports

Somedays I cannot believe how busy we are around here. Between scouts, choir, soccer, birthday parties, piano lessons, family commitments and homework I feel like half of the time I am just diving my kids around from place to place. I know this isn’t news to any suburban parent. I was warned about this. The thing is how do you decide what to sign up for and what not to sign up for?

Not over scheduling my children but still making sure they end up as well rounded individuals is a constant challenge. As of second grade they both love scouts but I am not requiring them to do it. Scouts are a bonus. The kids are obviously responsible for homework but there are only two things I require – one instrument and one sport. I will tell you why.

THE SILVER LINING

Silver lining

I am looking forward to winter because in the winter there a no mosquitoes to ravage my poor itchy ankles.

I told this to my children this afternoon.

I told them this one, because it is true and two, because I was trying to think of something positive to say.

The kids didn’t have school today because of all of the flooding. When my neighbor wanted to take my kids on a walk to McDonalds I nearly lost my mind. “IT ISN’T SAFE!” I yelled at everyone.

THE HALLOWEEN COSTUME DEBACLE – PART 1

Halloween costumes

I am not a terribly prepared or organized human being, but I know from experience that if you wait until mid-October to buy children’s Halloween costumes they will be picked over and you will never get what you want. Halloween is the one holiday I have down, when school starts in September we order our Halloween costumes.

This year Claudia was to be a cheerless leader and Ian was going to be a stealth ninja The Halloween Costume Debacle Part 1.

ME AND MRS. JONES

Lolo Jones

You know how it is when you get a real Talking Heads moment? When you think How did I get here? This is not my beautiful house. Well, I had one of those moments two weeks ago when I found myself interviewing Lori Jones, mother of Olympic hurdler, Lolo Jones.

Honestly, my education is in political science and music. Before my kids were born I worked in finance, sales and event planning. How did I get to a place where I interview parents of athletes as a part of my job? It was a long and winding path, but I am so glad I took it.
