Stylish Healthy & Hair

Working out makes you feel good and is good for you. You

want neat and stylish hair because it shows a positive self

attitude and makes you feel good about the way you look. Are

you afraid to exercise until you sweat because your hair may

“go back”? Some women report that hair concerns keep them

from exercising. You can be fit and keep a beautiful hairstyle

too by protecting your hair and then keeping it healthy.

You can prevent sweat damage to your hair during exercise

by controlling moisture and salt buildup. Salty buildup causes

your hair to break, shed, become dull, or become dry.

Wash your hair with a mild,

pH-balanced shampoo at least

once each week to remove

salt buildup.

u Condition your hair every

week with a moisturizing

protein conditioner. A good

conditioner disappears when

you rub your hands together.

u Avoid over-processing! Limit

your use of blow dryers and

curling irons.Remember: if you have a scalp problem, you may want to

check with a dermatologist.

Hot Water for Constipation

Drinking hot water with sour lime juice and half a teaspoon of salt is also an effective remedy for constipation. Drinking water which has been kept overnight in a copper vessel, the first thing in the morning will bring good results. Linseed is extremely useful in difficult cases of constipation. A teaspoon of linseed swallowed with water before each meal provides both bulk and lubrication. In all ordinary cases of constipation, an exclusive fruit diet for about seven days would be the best way to begin the treatment.

For long-standing and stubborn cases, it should be advisable to have a short fast for four or five days. This will drive out the packed contents of the bowels, eliminate toxins and purify the blood stream. Weak patients may take orange juice during the period of fasting. After the all-fruit diet or the short fast, as the case may be, the patient should gradually embark upon a balanced diet comprising adequate raw foods, ripe fruits and whole grain cereals.

In some cases, further short periods on fruits or short fasts may be necessary at intervals of two months or so, depending on the progress being made. The bowels should be cleansed daily through a warm water enema for a few days at the commencement of treatment.

Wet Pack Sheet

When bathing is impractical, consider the full wet sheet pack.
This is a procedure in which the whole body is wrapped in a wet sheet, which in turn is rapped in a dry blanket for regulating evaporation. The blanket should be spread on the bed with its edges hanging over the edge of the bed. The upper end should be about eight inches from the head of the bed. Then spread a linen sheet wrung out in cold water over the blanket so that its end is slightly below the upper end of the blanket.
The patient should lie on the bed sheet with his shoulders about three inches below the upper edge. The wet sheet should be weekly wrapped round the body of the patient, drawn in, tightly tucked between the legs and also between the body and the arms.
The sheet should be folded over the shoulders and across the neck. Now the blanket should be drawn tightly around the body and tucked in along the side in a similar manner, pulling it tightly. The ends should be doubled up at the feet body.
A Turkish towel should be placed below the chin to protect the face and neck from coming into contact with the blanket and to exclude outside air more effectively. The head should be covered with a wet cloth so that the scalp remains cold.
The feet should be kept warm during the entire treatment. If the patient's feet are cold, place hot water bottles near them to hasten reaction. The pack is administered for half an hour to one hour till the patient begins to perspire profusely. He may be given cold or hot water to drink.
This pack is useful in cases of fever especially in typhoid and continued fevers, and benefits
those suffering from insomnia, epilepsy and infantile convulsions. It is useful in relieving chronic cold and bronchitis and helps in the treatment of rheumatism and obesity.

water Drink if you have high blood pressure.

Regular drinking of coriander (dhania) water also helps lower blood cholesterol as it is a good diuretic and stimulates the kidneys. It is prepared by boiling dry seeds of coriander and straining the decoction after cooling.

More Than Just a Diet For Losing Weight

A suitably planned course of dietetic treatment, in conjunction with suitable exercise and other
measures for promoting elimination is the only scientific way of dealing with obesity.
The chief consideration in this treatment should be the balanced selection of foods which provide the maximum essential nutrients with the least number of calories.
To begin with, the patient should undertake a juice fast for seven to ten days. Juices of lemon,
grape fruit, orange, pineapple, cabbage, celery, may be taken during this period. Long juice fast up to 40 days can also be undertaken, but only under expert guidance and supervision. In the alternative, short juice fasts should be repeated at regular intervals of two months or so until the desired reduction in weight is achieved.
After the juice fast, the patient should spend a further four or five days on an all-fruit diet, taking
three meals of fresh juicy fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, pineapple and papaya. Thereafter,
he may gradually embark upon a low-calorie well- balanced diet of three basic food groups,
namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii)fruits, with emphasis on raw fruits,
vegetables, and fresh juices.
The foods which should be drastically curtailed or altogether avoided are high-fat foods such as butter, cheese, chocolates, cream, ice-cream, fat meats, fried foods, and gravies; high
carbohydrate foods like bread, candy, cake, cookies, cereal products, legumes, potatoes,
honey, sugar, syrup and rich puddings beverages such as all-fountain drinks and alcoholic
drinks.

To cure ulcers, go bananas.

The most effective remedy for peptic ulcers is bananas. They are said to contain an unidentified
compound called, perhaps jokingly, vitamin U (against ulcers). Bananas neutralises the over
acidity of the gastric juices and reduces the irritation of the ulcer by quoting the lining of the
stomach.
Banana and milk are considered an ideal diet for the patients who are in an advanced stage of the disease.

Fighting Fat with a Vegetarian Diet

For a low-fat diet, eat a vegetarian diet.
Another benefit of the vegetarian diet is the much lower intake of fat, if dairy products, seeds and nuts are eaten sparingly. This accounts for lower serum cholesterol levels found in vegetarians, which considerably reduces the risk of developing heart diseases and breast and colon cancer.
A third nutritional advantage of the vegetarian diet is its high fibre content. Fibre, being
indigestible, increases the bulk of the faces, keeps them soft and makes them easy to expel.
One study has indicated that lacto-ovo vegetarians consume twice as much and vegans four
times as much fibre as non-vegetarians. High fibre intake has been associated with decreased
risks of diseases of the colon, appendicitis, cancer of the colon and rectum, hiatus hernia, piles
and varicose veins.
McCarrison, one of the greatest authorities on food, has outlined a perfect diet. According to him, " a perfectly constituted diet is one in which the principal ingredients are milk, milk products, any whole cereal grain or mixture of cereal grains, green leafy vegetables and fruits. These are the protective foods. They make good the defects of other constituents of the diet, protect the body against infection and disease of various kinds, and their use in sufficient quantity ensures physical efficiency."
