The Many Benefits Of Kelp

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Kelp, commonly known as seaweed, belongs to the brown algae group and classified as Laminariales. There are 30 kinds of Kelp, all of which are rich in nutrients and are used by soe as their primary diet supplement. Kelp is a good source of vitamins and minerals including essential minerals, known to be an excellent anti-aging nutrient.

Kelp contains significant amounts of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids and iodine. This helps to strengthen the circulatory system, lowers the risk of strokes, heart disease, and provides many cancer fighting benefits. The iodine contained in Kelp helps stimulate the thyroid glands and controls metabolism, which is a boost to anti-aging by helping control weight.

The iodine content in Kelp serves as a natural antibiotic helping the body ward off infections. If your diet does not contain enough iodine, your thyroid must work harder and can become enlarged. A trip to your Naturopathic physician should put you on the right course to the correct supplementation for your body.

Another anti-aging benefit is that Kelp is an excellent detoxifier and helps reduce cellulite. You’ll notice that Kelp is widely used in many anti-cellulite products as it helps in face and body firming. Kelp helps fight acne, wrinkles, lightens dark spots and also heals sunburn. Anti-agers can appreciate this kind of skin help.

You can find Kelp in powder, capsules, granules and even kelp noodles. These noodles are gluten free, fat free and low in carbohydrates which makes them excellent additions to salads, broths and stir fries. You may consider them an alternative to pasta or rice noodles.

Go ahead and enjoy Kelp in a wide range of anti-aging health and beauty products.

Have a fun and successful day,

Vida

Hair Loss Isn’t Just A Man’s Problem!

Monday, May 26th, 2008

It’s natural to lose hair and is part of the body’s way to renew itself. The list of all the possible causes is long, but it is a common problem that affects millions of men, women and children. Almost ninety five percent of cases of hair loss in men are hereditary and often referred to as male pattern baldness, but the correct term is Androgenic Alopecia.”

Some reasons for hair loss can be diet. Other reasons are hormonal imbalance, stress or mental tension, chemicals or perhaps a cosmetic reaction. Often considered a purely male problem, American women actually make up forty percent that suffer with some form of hair loss condition.

Hair loss is in fact more common with women as they age, and it is often caused by a thyroid problem. By the time they reach sixty, forty percent of women around the world will have experienced loss of some form or another. Pregnancy is another time when women may suffer from thinning hair.

One solution if you have permanent hair loss is to have it surgically restored. Transplantation of healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another is an out-patient procedure under local anesthesia. This treatment is also becoming more popular with women who wish to hide scarring caused by previous face lifts.

For a person planning hair transplant surgery, all current health issues must be cleared up before treatment. New techniques are being discovered all the time, so if you have not found success, then perhaps hair transplant therapy might be your best course of action.
