Your hair is extremely vulnerable to a plurality of external factors: heat, humidity, ultraviolet rays, the accumulation of salts in water, stress, ingrowing hair, pollution… All of these can be dubbed “enemies” of healthy and beautiful hair. It is decidedly not easy to keep our hair healthy and in the best conditions.

The first thing needed in order to have healthy hair is to have a healthy scalp and well-hydrated roots. For this, it is advisable to brush your hair before washing it, because damp hair is more susceptible to breakage, as well as before going to bed so as to enhance blood circulation.

The seasons are another factor that we must take into account when caring for our hair. Depending on each season, hair care will vary since the natural aggressions it will suffer tend to differ.

During winter, low temperatures are the worst enemy. Don’t leave your house with wet or humid hair as it could freeze and easily break off.

Summertime offers the directly opposite dilemma: high temperatures that tend to produce dryness due to the sun. Applying sunscreen is certainly the best option during the summer. Apply it to your hair while indoors and let it be absorbed naturally before going out.

In the spring, the hair is weakened by the cold of winter, which is why we must condition it for the abundance of heat that summer brings, linked to the change of routine which can harm your hair’s quality and growth.

It is important to periodically use specialized moisturizing products in conjunction with night treatments to accelerate the healing process and that will protect your hair and scalp during the day when it is most exposed to natural elements.

Though the main elements that affect our hair tend to be external ones, other factors such as stress, diet and habits like drinking and smoking influence its growth and strength. Fad diets that do not provide the necessary amount of nutrients have proven to have a decidedly negative impact on our hair’s appearance to the extent of being able to cause hair loss and noticeable deterioration.

A good diet, rich in vitamins, proteins and vegetables, provide a mane that looks bright and shiny and that is most importantly healthy. Proteins are responsible for producing keratin, so it is important to be sure that we are consuming the necessary amounts in our daily diet. Iron is also an important factor to consider because hair becomes thin and fragile when we don’t consume enough of it.

Here are some helpful and natural tricks to keep your hair looking amazing:

On sunny days: cover your hair with a handkerchief, hat or turban. This will protect you from the sun, especially in outdoor places such as the beach, the park, etc. You will prevent your scalp from being mistreated by the sun’s rays. After a day at the beach, use a shampoo and conditioner to hydrate your hair.

Take care of your hair when at the beach: it is recommended that when leaving the water you rinse your hair with fresh water at a temperature below 22 degrees, then apply hair protection or conditioner.

Protect your hair from the heat: have a moisturizer available and apply it several times a day. It is important that you do not use a hair dryer during this period, since the air currents help to dry out your hair. Let it dry naturally.

Nourish your hair with a cream based on bananas and avocados. Mash it in a container, apply it will giving yourself a gentle scalp massage, leave for 15 minutes and rinse.

You’ve probably already heard of the Keto diet. The Keto (short for “ketogenic”) diet is very low in carbohydrates and high in fats and it seeks to put the body in a situation of ketosis, which translated means that our body becomes a fat burning machine. Such a situation is achieved in any of these two ways: by limited proportions of food or by the reduction of foods rich in glucose.

The consumption of carbohydrates drops between 5 and 20% when following the Keto diet, giving priority to foods with good fats, 75% of which is in our diet. This makes the liver stop using glucose as a form of energy, and the body has no choice but to get that energy from the fat it has stored. It is a great alternative if you are looking for quick weight loss.

In a diet such as the ketogenic one, the body changes its signals and slowly begins to understand that its source of energy is no longer glucose, but fat, so it starts to work exclusively with fat. Insulin levels drop dramatically and the increase in fat burning is remarkable. Inevitably, the body accesses body fat deposits and starts burning fat. All this is wonderful for those who are focused on losing weight, especially for people suffering from morbid obesity. This diet is also satisfactory because it reduces hunger levels, and offers a permanent supply of energy.

There is no evidence that states the Keto diet is harmful to the body but it does offer a healthy amount of documented benefits, especially for people who deal with high blood sugar, fatty liver issues, and for those with considerable amounts of weight to lose.

What to eat on a ketogenic diet?

Natural fat: the main source of calories when following a keto diet is fat so your daily fat intake should be high. Stick to natural sources of fat such as meats, fish and eggs and try cooking with butter and/or coconut oil and feel free to add all the olive oil your heart desires to your salads and vegetables.

Fish: all fish, including seafood, are welcome to the keto diet. The best choice? Fatty fish like salmon and trout.

Meat: the keto diet doesn’t require large amounts of protein as it is a high-fat diet and if you ingest more protein than your body actually needs, reaching ketosis will be more difficult as excess protein turns into glucose. Stick to moderate amounts of unprocessed meats that are low carb and keto-friendly, especially those that are organic and/or grass fed.

Above ground vegetables: any vegetable that grows above ground is perfect for the keto diet since above-ground veggies contain less carbs and starch than those that grow underground such as potatoes, carrots and onions. Feel free to eat all the leafy, green items you want including cucumber, zucchini, lettuce and avocado.

Eggs: all the eggs you want in your preferred presentation. Worried about the cholesterol? Try to keep it under 36 per day.

Your pros and cons

As we have mentioned before, with the Keto diet the decrease in blood sugar levels is achieved, regenerate fatty liver, and causes weight loss in less time, also, it is effective to improve epileptic disorders, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

However, the difficulty occurs when ketosis is not controlled as it should be and ketones damage the muscle mass causing some unpleasant side effects such as headache, dizziness, bad breath, excessive sweat and urine. You might also suffer from constipation due to lack of fiber in your diet, so watch out. This can be easily avoided by adding a high-fiber supplement to your daily diet such as Nopalina which will keep you regular without a problem.

If you decide to go the keto route, do so under the supervision of a specialist.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your body tissue. Your body needs it to produce hormones, vitamin D and substances required for the organism to function properly but if your cholesterol levels get too high, you are at risk of serious health issues. A dangerous increase of LDL (low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) can create something called plaques which stick to the walls of the blood vessels causing diseases in the coronary arteries, either narrowing them or blocking them.

This is extremely serious because if your arteries have large amounts of plaque in them, some may break or form a blood clot that can partially or completely block the arteries, resulting in a heart attack. Age, race and weight are factors that influence cholesterol levels and bear in mind that there are no signs or symptoms that indicate we’ve got  high cholesterol; only a blood test can do that.

The liver is the organ in charge of producing and regulating cholesterol levels in the body but you can also increase it through the foods that make up your daily diet. LDL (or bad protein as mentioned above) can be found in foods such as full-fat cheese, processed meats and ultra-processed foods like potato chips, fried foods and sugary treats. Low-density lipoprotein is more likely to cause clogging of the arteries because it carries the cholesterol away from the liver into the bloodstream, where it can stick to the blood vessels.

HDL (high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol), on the other hand, carries the cholesterol back to the liver where it is properly broken down. It works like a vacuum cleaner sucking in and removing extra cholesterol and plaque buildup in your arteries. It then sends it to your liver where it is expelled from your body. Ingesting foods with good cholesterol will help reduce your risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Here are some other ways to lower your cholesterol levels:

Add Nopalina to your diet

 Nopalina thanks to its unique formula made of a combination of flaxseed, oat bran and fruit extract, provides your body with plenty of soluble fiber that is ever so important to decrease bad cholesterol levels. Nopalina can also improve blood circulation and prevent constipation due to the presence of Omega-3 acids in the flax seed.

Nopalina can be found in both pill and powder presentation. Choose the one that best fits your lifestyle.

Eat the right fat

Saturated fats are highly responsible for increasing cholesterol, causing strokes or heart attacks. Avoid eating anything fried or greasy and switch to the good fats found in foods such as avocado, olives and olive oil, salmon and nuts.

The consumption of blue fish, three or four times a week, is another way to reduce cholesterol. Fish such as salmon, tuna, herring, sardines and mackerel, are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega 3), responsible for lowering bad cholesterol and improving your health.

Physical activity

You don’t need to join a gym to add some physical activity to your daily routine. Try setting aside 30 minutes of your day and go for a brisk walk. It’s as simple as putting on adequate shoes and going for a walk. This simple action will oxygenate your blood allow your brain to receive the doses of nutrients and endorphins that it needs to function properly. It also to gets your heart pumping which is always a good thing. Physical activity or exercising confer elasticity to your arteries which is vital for reducing bad cholesterol levels.

Drink lemon juice

Lemons are rich in a compound called flavonoid, as well as vitamin C. Both will provide loads of benefits to your health. Drinking a daily glass of lemon juice will allow you to reduce the production of apolipoprotein B, an element linked to the liver which is responsible for the excessive production of cholesterol.

Use spices

A vast number of herbs and spices are packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory elements which are great for your heart. Garlic, onion, ginger, and turmeric are all heart-friendly herbs and spices whose effect on the organism have proved to be quite positive. Fenugreek seeds (a fiber-rich seed that can be found in Indian curries and Egyptian bread) can also help lower blood sugar as well as bad cholesterol levels.

Instead of using salt or other processed products sold in the market to season your foods, go for natural spices such as turmeric, parsley, cinnamon, thyme, rosemary, cilantro and ginger. You’ll find your cholesterol levels will begin to regain its healthy value.

Omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 are fatty acids that are essential to maintain good health. These fatty acids are extremely beneficial to the hair and skin, the respiratory, reproductive and circulatory system, and, most importantly, to the brain.

Two of them (Omega 3 and Omega 6) cannot be produced by the body, so they must be ingested through vitamin supplements (such as Nopalina) or foods that naturally contain them. It is through the combination of these two that the body can generate Omega 9.

Omega 3 and 6, also called essential fatty acids (EFA), cannot be produced by our body alone. The EFAs must be swallowed. Both acids are important for the development of the brain, the regulation of blood pressure and the functioning of the brain system. Also, these fatty acids are necessary for the integrity of the body’s systems to function normally.

Benefits of Omega 3

This Omega is found in some types of fat such as fish, anchovies, salmon, herring and mackerel. Omega 3 contains polyunsaturated fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.

Pic: gemacabanero

Studies have shown that a diet high in fish, which is mainly based on omega 3, considerably reduces triglycerides in the blood and prevents the arteries from being clogged. All this was investigated by the Danish scientist H.O. Bang and J. Dyerberg, who studied the Eskimo diet, reaching these conclusions.

It has been proven that Omega-3 is used to treat the following conditions:

Attention Disorders
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Digestive Difficulties
Diabetes
Some types of Cancer
Skin disorders
High cholesterol
Asthma
Hypertension
Depression
Macular degeneration

Benefits of Omega 6

This omega is found in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds and it’s important to include it in your daily diet. Omega 6 contributes to brain development and healthy reproduction. The main sources of omega 6 are seeds, grains, nuts, green leafy vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, seaweed and some unprocessed vegetable oils.

Pic: useful news

The body needs twice the amount of Omega-6  than of Omega-3, maintaining a ratio of 2: 1. Omega-6 fatty acids have been proven to:

• Reduce the risk of heart disease
• Lower LDL levels (bad cholesterol)
• Raise HDL levels (good cholesterol)
• Reduce the risks of suffering from cancer

Benefits of Omega 9

We can find this fatty acid in olive oil and various vegetable oils, in nuts and avocados. Unlike omega 3 and 6, this omega can be produced by our body naturally from the consumption of omega 3 and 6. This fatty acid reduces cholesterol and strengthens the immune system.

However, if there is not enough omega 3 and 6 in your diet, it is necessary to incorporate omega 9 in the form of a supplement, since these acids play an important role in the prevention of heart disease, since it reduces cholesterol.

Nopalina contains high levels of Omega 3 and 6 that, ingested daily, will help your body produce the amounts of Omega 9 that it needs to function well and reach its peak performance. Try it in pills or powder.

“You are what you eat” the saying goes. And in many cases, this age-old adage has proven to be true.

In order to achieve a healthy organism and a toned body, it is essential to follow a well-thought out diet coupled with a physical regime. Try to eliminate simple carbs (sugars) from your daily food intake and do not overindulge in any dairy, fatty or processed fare.

Just as there are foods that can actually help you lose weight, there are others that allow you to increase muscle mass. These excellent foods help you to tone up while attacking flaccidity in a healthy way. Bear in mind that you will not achieve the firmness you want by eating these foods alone; it is necessary to combine their ingestion with exercise and physical activity. This way you’ll be able to tone up your muscles.

Protein is the food group on which you should focus for toning muscles and eliminating fat from your body. Protein acts as an essential nutrient that restores the muscles and increases their size and strength.

Not sure which foods to taket? Here are some options to get you started:

Lean meats

These are meats that have a relatively low fat content such as skinless chicken, turkey, rabbit and pork (with the fat trimmed off). Lean meats are also low in calories and a good source of selenium, Vitamin B3 and B6 and choline.

Fish

Pic: Builtlean

Any variety of fish is ideal for toning the body but, contrary to meats, the fatty varieties of fish (such as salmon, sardines and trout) are the best for you and your muscles due to their high content of Omega 3 and Vitamin D.

Eggs

Eggs are essential to obtain a toned and healthy figure. All the amino acids that our organism needs along with the protein they bring are contained in one egg in the perfect ratios. They are perfect for increasing muscle mass, accelerating weight loss and lower blood pressure.

Oats

Oats are shock full of healthy fibers, magnesium, manganese, thiamin (vitamin B1) and several other nutrients that keep you regular and contribute to get those muscles nice and firm. Up to 15% of the calories per serving is pure protein.

 Broccoli

Pic: coach.nine.com.au

All greens are good for you but broccoli is specially so. The levels of vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber and potassium it contains almost make it a super-food. The fact that it also has bioactive nutrients that help prevent and fight cancer doesn’t hurt either.

Nuts

Nuts and dried fruits such as almonds, walnuts, cashews and pistachios are also loaded with protein. They also contain high levels of fiber, vitamin E, manganese and magnesium which keep you feeling satisfied during the day.

Apart from food, there are other things that you should take into account when your goal is to have a firm body.

Eat complex carbs

Most people think that to be healthy, you have to eliminate carbohydrates completely, this is a huge mistake. Ideally, we must partake of a balanced diet and enjoy the entire food pyramid, taking care not to indulge in any sort of excess.

Drink water

It is very important to ensure adequate hydration during the day so that the body keeps the muscles hydrated and can thus tone up faster. Water also takes care of hydrating your organism’s cells, which help increase the effort and resistance when performing physical exercise.

Physical activity

This is as important as good nutrition, perhaps even more so as without it you will never achieve firmness once you’ve lost that excess weight. An excellent training routine that is aligned with your lifestyle and daily habits is definitely recommended. Start with cardio to burn those calories and fat and then move on to perform strength and endurance exercises to keep your muscles toned and avoid flaccidity. Once your endurance increases, focus on having a complete routine in which you work on your entire body.

No alcohol or cigarettes

Completely eliminate the consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. They are not only harmful to health, they dehydrate the organism and damage the skin, accelerating the aging process. Both vices are responsible for loading toxins into our body and affecting physical resistance. They do not contribute anything good or help you at all, so the best choice is to chuck them out.

Complement your eating and fitness routine with natural dietary supplements such as Omega 3 pills, calcium and vitamins. Nopalina in your choice of pills or powder is also a great way to ingest natural nutrients that will keep you feeling and looking great as well as toning those muscles.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, they say. But you don’t always have time to sit and have a proper meal before rushing off to school or work, right? The solution? A healthy breakfast smoothie to get you started. And some Nopalina into the mix, and you’re golden!

Promotes Digestion

Thanks in great measure to its high content of soluble and insoluble fibers, Nopalina will help keep your bowel movements regular. It is a well known fact that chronic constipation can cause such ailments as hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, diverticulitis and, in extreme cases, colon cancer.

Adding Nopalina to your diet will certainly help you avoid the risks and consequences of high cholesterol levels.

Taking nopalina is incredibly easy: just add 1 or 2 Tbs. of the powder to a glass of water and drink. You can also take it in capsules if you prefer.

There are innumerable external elements that cause our body to be loaded with toxins that diminish the functions of the cells in charge of fueling it with energy. A telltale sign that we are very loaded with toxins, is that we begin to suffer from diseases.

Toxins are lipopolysaccharides or proteins that harm the organism that assimilates them. They can be found anywhere, particularly in foods that have gone through a cooking process. They can also be absorbed through the polluted air, in the objects you touch, solar radiation, and even your own body can produce them when it is loaded with stress.

External elements such as smoking, drugs, coffee, junk food, processed foods contribute to accumulate toxins in your body. In short, they are everywhere.

Since toxins are readily available in our everyday lives, it is recommended that we periodically cleanse our bodies to improve our health conditions. Nature has given us the perfect tools to make our body remain free of these harmful toxins and it is our duty to make use of them in order to live longer, healthier lives.

We can begin by eating daily fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins, antioxidants and minerals and that render instant results towards better health.

There are certain fruits that accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body due to their natural properties. Take note and make them a must on your shopping list.

8 fruits to accelerate the elimination of toxins

Pineapple

Thanks to its high content of minerals and water, it has important diuretic properties. It is also highly digestive because of its high bromelain content. It helps to avoid fluid retention.

Apples

Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fiber. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.

Banana

This fruit has properties that achieve great results in the body due to its high levels of protein and potassium. It helps to balance the functions of the intestine, lightening constipation. It relieves the symptoms that produce heartburn. It allows controlling stress levels.

Grapefruit

Prevents many skin problems by making it look healthy and fresh. It’s a wonderful source of vitamin C, essential in strengthening the immune system, preventing colds and keeping infections far away from our system. In addition to providing what is necessary to detoxify the body, grapefruits are a great aid to the digestive and urinary system.

Papaya

Papayas are ideal aid for good digestion since they increase the performance of pancreatic juices. Papain, one of its components, is extraordinary to be used as purgative, laxative and as a natural depurative.

Avocados

Avocado have abundant amounts of monounsaturated fat, which are healthy fats, therefore they help lower cholesterol. They are also rich in vitamin E, an important antioxidant that eliminates toxins. Thanks to its valuable potassium content, it helps eliminate depression, as well as its folate content, which helps prevent fatigue and exhaustion.

Strawberries

One of the most favored fruits. They benefit blood circulation and are also a wonderful and sweet source of vitamin C and antioxidants.

Oranges

Oranges are a healthy source of fiber, vitamin C, thiamine, folate, and antioxidants. They help keep the immune system healthy, prevent skin damage, keep blood pressure under check, lower cholesterol, and control blood sugar levels.

Cleansing our body of toxins does not imply a traumatic or strained experience, since the consumption of fruits is habitual in the daily diet of the human being. Try eating fruits on a daily basis, particularly those that are in season. If it’s a bit difficult for your, try adding supplements to your diet that can be the source of the benefits fruits have to offer such a Nopalina. With its content of apple, orange, pineapple and grapefruit extract, it is an ideal choice to add to your daily diet to keep your body clean and healthy both inside and out.
