Hair fall and Dandruff

Hair fall & Dandruff 

Q. I am 12 year old girl with really long hair. The problem is that it is floppy, falls a lot, is unmanageable and rough – especially at the end. Also, I have tamed and oily skin and I want to avoid acne since my skin has started to break out. Please tell me some home remedy for it.

A.  To solve your problem take two tablespoons of Aloe Vera gel, add one tablespoon of lemon juice, massage into scalp and comb through. Rinse your hair an hour later, and use a baby shampoo to wash your hair. Do this thrice a week. You can also massage this treatment on your face, as aloe Vera is an excellent cleanser, and when mixed with lemon juice lightens and shrinks the pores, and reduces the oiliness of the skin. Do this every alternate day, but avoid using hot water, as it activates the natural oils of the skin, making the face greasy.

Q.  I have dandruff and my hair has been falling a lot. Please tell me some home remedy.

A.  Massage a mixture of aloe Vera gel and few drops of lemon juice on your scalp. Rinse with cold water. You can apply it twice a week on your hair.

Any question? Ask through comment.

Thanks

Health benefits of Cashew

Health benefits of Cashew

We all know something about cashew nut and its great taste. Here we will know the main health benefits of Cashew.

The cashew tree is native to Brazil, where its fruit is considered a delicacy. In the 16th century, the Portuguese introduced them to India and some African countries, where they are now also grown.  Now it grows in west coast Goa, Maharashtra, Karnatak, Kerala and Tamilnadu in India. It called in Latin- Anacardium Occidentale, Hindi- Kaaju, Bangla- Hijli, Badam, Gujrati- Kaaju, Kaajubali.

What we call the cashew nut is actually the seed of this fruit. Cashew is rich in iron, phosphorus, selenium, magnesium and zinc. They are also good sources of phytochemicals, antioxidants, and protein. Its oil is better than olive oil.

Cancer Prevention
Cashews are ripe with proanthocyanidins, a class of flavanols that actually starve tumours and stop cancer cells from dividing. Studies have also shown that cashews can reduce your colon cancer risk. Their high copper content also endows the seed with the power to eliminate free radicals and they are also good sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants that protect us from heart disease and cancer.

Heart Health
Cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts and most of it is in the form of oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health by helping to reduce triglyceride levels, high levels of which are associated with an increased risk for heart disease. Cashews are wonderfully cholesterol free and their high antioxidant content helps lower risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart diseases. The magnesium in cashews helps lower blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.

Hair and Skin Health
Cashews are rich in the mineral copper. Use of cashew gives good nutrition to hair and skin.

Bone Health
Cashews are particularly rich in magnesium. It's a well-known fact that calcium is necessary for strong bones, but magnesium is as well. Most of the magnesium in the human body is in our bones. Some of it helps lend bones their physical structure, and the remainder is located on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to use as it needs. Copper found in cashews is vital for the function of enzymes involved in combining collagen and elastin, providing substance and flexibility in bones and joints.

Good for the Nerves 

By preventing calcium from rushing into nerve cells and activating them, magnesium keeps our nerves relaxed and thereby our blood vessels and muscles too. Too little magnesium means too much calcium can gain entrance to the nerve cell, causing it to send too many messages, and leading to too much contraction.

Insufficient magnesium leads to higher blood pressure, muscle tension, migraine headaches, soreness and fatigue. Not surprisingly, studies have demonstrated that magnesium helps diminish the frequency of migraine attacks, lowers blood pressure and helps prevent heart attacks.

        So it proves its importance for our health. Let’s eat cashew daily and take its advantage.
