Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a modern-day disease, which mainly occurs due to poor eating habits and leading a stressful and hectic life. In some people, hypertension is genetic. People diagnosed with hypertension have to take steps to control their blood pressure, as they are more prone to cardiovascular diseases, strokes and diabetes. One of the ways to control hypertension is being careful about what you eat.

For smokers the bad news is that smoking and heart disease can be tied together and that smoking increases blood pressure. It is false to think that smoking only causes respiratory problems and lung disease such as cancer Influenza, Emphysema, Tuberculosis, asthma, short of breath and loss of energy because not enough oxygen reaches the heart.

A client who walks into your salon will most often observe how organized the shop is, meaning how the decorations are kept and how clean the environment is. As she sits down, she may look through the magazines that are scattered throughout the coffee tables and pay attention to the dates on the magazines. As she takes the time to glance around your shop, she may even begin to look at the floors, chairs, and shampoo units, as well as the hair products you offer. Not every client will survey your shop, but the regulars who venture into your store will start to recognize the major upgrades your shop needs.

The Importance Of A Healthy Lifestyle For Maintaining Normal Cholesterol Levels
by Samantha Baker
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood, which if left to build up over time attaches itself to the walls of the arteries leading to the heart. Once arteries become blocked blood and oxygen cannot reach the heart, and it begins to fail. What will typically begin with chest pains will ultimately result in cardiac arrest. It is of utmost importance to maintain a healthy lifestyle to maintain normal cholesterol levels.

Benefits of Neck Support Pillows
by Chelsea Alves
Neck pain is becoming a more prominent medical problem with recent studies claiming that up to two thirds of the population will experience it at some point in their lives. The causes for neck pain vary, with the most common being attributed to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back. For more serious conditions, other treatments may include medication, ergonomic reform, spinal adjustments, physical therapy, or it may even be as simple as purchasing a high quality ergonomic office chair. Specialty high back ergonomic office chairs have often proven to significantly help reduce the level of pain felt in the upper back and neck with their body forming design. If a new ergonomic office chair does not fit into your budget, consider another cost-effective method utilized by millions across the world, a neck support pillow.

Does Oiling Your Scalp Help With Hair Shedding?
by Ava Alderman
I sometimes hear from folks who are looking for natural, inexpensive, and non invasive ways to help with their hair shedding. One possibility that sometimes comes up is oiling one's scalp. This generally involves using a carrier oil (coconut, olive, jojoba, emu, tea tree oil or others) massaged into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and to promote hair regrowth. I recently heard from someone who said: "my hair has been shedding horribly for about six weeks. Not only is my hair falling out, but my scalp is sore and itchy. On a hair loss forum, I read about a suggestion for using tea tree or emu oil to soothe your scalp. I also read that these oils sometimes help with hair loss and shedding. So my question is would oiling my scalp help with what I think is telogen effluvium? Or would it just soothe my sore scalp? And does it make your hair look greasy?" There was no way for me to predict the future or the outcome when this person oiled their scalp, but I certainly have a theory, which I'll explain now.

Hair Growth Pills - Do They Work?
Hair Growth Pills - Do They Work?
By Wilson Tiong
These days, if you're looking for hair growth pills, and you look online, you will probably find dozens of options. The thing is, however, that most of the pills that promise to halt or reverse hair loss won't. Most of them are nothing more than fake products, that prey on people who are desperate to regrow their hair.
So what else should you know?
"Vitamin" Hair Growth Pills DON'T Work
Many of the products promising that you can take a all natural, organic, vitamin based pill and experience hair growth just don't work.
The truth is, vitamins can help to make your hair look better - it may be shinier, or even smoother, but there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that vitamin based hair growth medications or pills can help your hair to grow.
It's also worth noting that in many countries, herbal remedies like vitamin based hair growth pills are not subject to the same regulations as proper medications, so you may find that there are other things in their formulation that may not be as good for you!
So What Hair Growth Pills DO Work?
There are actually very few formulas that are proven to work. In fact, according to the American Hair Loss Association, only two brands: Propecia (also known as Proscar and Finasteride), and Minoxidil (also known as Ioniten), have FDA approval for the treatment of male pattern baldness.
That means that they're the only drugs that have passed the FDA's rigorous testing, and been found to be both safe and effective.
It's not only men who are sufferers of hair loss though. Women's treatments are even less prevalent, with topical Minoxidil treatment being the only FDA approved treatment, and a few other androgen receptor inhibitors being mentioned by name by the Association.
How to Get Hair Growth Pills That Work
The truth is, because there are so few tested and approved treatments on the market for hair loss, the only guaranteed way to get hair loss pills that work is to speak to your doctor. He or she will be able to diagnose what is causing your hair loss, and determine whether you are a candidate for one of the approved treatments.
You will then get a prescription for one of the treatments that work, but remember that even the treatments that work don't work for everyone!
Save Your Money - Don't Buy Just Any Hair Growth Pills
As you can see, while it's tempting to believe all the claims and stories out there, and easy to be sucked in by a slick website full of testimonials from all kinds of people, most of those sites are what would, in the past, have been known as 'snake oil salespeople.'
They're selling products that have no scientific backing, and that probably won't work the way they are promised to work. Some might have some effect, but because they are not FDA approved, there's no way of telling the hair growth pills that do work from those that don't.
It's simpler to stick with hair growth pills that offer proven results, than to sift through those that promise to, but the answer is, yes, hair growth pills do work - if you buy the right ones!

The truth is, because there are so few tested and approved treatments on the market for hair loss, the only guaranteed way to get hair loss pills that work is to speak to your doctor. He or she will be able to diagnose what is causing your hair loss, and determine whether you are a candidate for one of the approved treatments.
You will then get a prescription for one of the treatments that work, but remember that even the treatments that work don't work for everyone!
Save Your Money - Don't Buy Just Any Hair Growth Pills
As you can see, while it's tempting to believe all the claims and stories out there, and easy to be sucked in by a slick website full of testimonials from all kinds of people, most of those sites are what would, in the past, have been known as 'snake oil salespeople.'
They're selling products that have no scientific backing, and that probably won't work the way they are promised to work. Some might have some effect, but because they are not FDA approved, there's no way of telling the hair growth pills that do work from those that don't.
It's simpler to stick with hair growth pills that offer proven results, than to sift through those that promise to, but the answer is, yes, hair growth pills do work - if you buy the right ones!
Complete hair loss is embarrassing, and can destroy your confidence overnight. It can only take a month in extreme cases. Now is the time to find out about the best hair falling treatment that stops hair loss in its tracks.

Hair Growth Pills - Do They Work?
Hair Growth Pills - Do They Work?
By Wilson Tiong
These days, if you're looking for hair growth pills, and you look online, you will probably find dozens of options. The thing is, however, that most of the pills that promise to halt or reverse hair loss won't. Most of them are nothing more than fake products, that prey on people who are desperate to regrow their hair.
So what else should you know?
"Vitamin" Hair Growth Pills DON'T Work
Many of the products promising that you can take a all natural, organic, vitamin based pill and experience hair growth just don't work.
The truth is, vitamins can help to make your hair look better - it may be shinier, or even smoother, but there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that vitamin based hair growth medications or pills can help your hair to grow.
It's also worth noting that in many countries, herbal remedies like vitamin based hair growth pills are not subject to the same regulations as proper medications, so you may find that there are other things in their formulation that may not be as good for you!
So What Hair Growth Pills DO Work?
There are actually very few formulas that are proven to work. In fact, according to the American Hair Loss Association, only two brands: Propecia (also known as Proscar and Finasteride), and Minoxidil (also known as Ioniten), have FDA approval for the treatment of male pattern baldness.
That means that they're the only drugs that have passed the FDA's rigorous testing, and been found to be both safe and effective.
It's not only men who are sufferers of hair loss though. Women's treatments are even less prevalent, with topical Minoxidil treatment being the only FDA approved treatment, and a few other androgen receptor inhibitors being mentioned by name by the Association.

A Comparison of Human Hair Wigs and Synthetic Hair Wigs
A Comparison of Human Hair Wigs and Synthetic Hair Wigs
By Mary E Case
Human hair wigs and synthetic wigs are becoming extremely popular these days. This is the reason why until now, many are still confused about which among the two is better. However, in this fight human wigs will always win. It is because most people prefer to use a product that looks natural when worn.
On the other hand, there are still some who choose to buy synthetic wigs because they are more affordable. To be able to assess further which among them is really better, here's a brief comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the two products.
Synthetic Hair Wigs
These wigs are known to have a shorter life span than human wigs even when they are taken care of properly. One of the main problems with these products is that you cannot use hot styling tools with them. In addition, they tend to get easily damaged when they are placed in heated areas such as fireplaces, ovens, etc.
Another downside of these wigs is that, they are less breathable than human hair wigs. This means that once you wear them, your scalp will tend to perspire. Although this might be the case, these wigs are less pricey than human wigs and will retain their style after you wash them.
Human Hair Wigs
Like any other product, human wigs have their own pros and cons. Let's find out what they are. First of all, these wigs can last for a long time when given proper care. Unlike synthetic wigs, you can use hot styling tools when styling them. Aside from that, they are also safe to use even when you are standing beside heated places.
Moreover, you can also dye them anytime you want and they give you a more natural look. What's good about them is that when you touch them, you will love the way they feel in your fingers. It's because they are smooth and are made out of real hair. Furthermore, they are also breathable so your scalp will never perspire when you use them. The disadvantage of these wigs is that they are very expensive and need to be styled after they are washed.
Now that you know the pros and cons of each product, it is clear that the better choice is the human wig. If you evaluate the products carefully, human hair wigs are better because they have several benefits than synthetic wigs so make them your choice now and you will never regret your decision.

By Mary E Case

Onion Juice, The Cure For Alopecia
By Cindy T. Roberts
Alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis are all forms of hair loss. It is a type of hair loss that is caused by an autoimmune disorder in the body. Alopecia areata affects patches of your scalp hair. Alopecia totalis will leave your whole scalp without any hair. Alopecia universalis will leave your whole body without hair. The doctors can't cure this. They often prescribe prednisone, an oral steroid that causes terrible side effects and stops working when you are not taking the medication. It is not a great solution at all.
There are many people online who promote the home remedy for alopecia areata of onion juice. This is fine. The idea is that the sulfur in the onion juice will cause a slight irritation and the immune system will work on that instead of attacking the hair follicles. In theory, it just may work.
Actually, there are studies that you can read online stating that this treatment is effective. I'm not entirely sure how valid these statements are or where the studies were actually done. My doctor didn't prescribe onion juice. It would have been nice if she had recommended something holistic instead of something that made me gain weight and give me insomnia.
I will admit that I tried rubbing a slice of onion on my head when I simply had alopecia areata. I did that for about a month. I did not see improvement at all. I have been trying acupuncture consistently for a year. I am finally seeing some fine, clear lashes and sparse underarm hair. I posted a video online regarding juicing and someone recommended the onion juice treatment, so now I am trying it again. Only this time, I will post my results for the internet community.
The juice of an onion may very well work for some people. It may be a placebo for others. It is also possible that onion juice had no relation because the condition can spontaneously reverse itself as well.
While I think that it could work, it seems to me like you would have to be continually using onion juice for it to have a long term effect. I can't imagine that rubbing something on your scalp is going to reverse an autoimmune disease. To reverse an autoimmune disease, you need to correct the underlying cause. Many medical doctors are aware that the immune system is out of order, but don't know exactly why. I'm not entirely certain that onion juice is going to reverse anything.

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Cindy_T._Roberts Baldness: A Walk Through a Circus of Treatments and History
By Derrick Adams
As P.T. Barnum said: "There is a sucker born every minute." Perhaps nothing speaks better to the validity of this than the multibillion-dollar industry for hair loss.
We are all suckers for our hair. It defines us. We groom and style it to communicate different messages to others. We color, twist, braid, clip and even spike it. It is a sign of virility, youth and strength. Human beings love their hair. The fear of losing our hair and going bald ranks right up there with death and dismemberment for most people.
I'm bald. For some men to say those words is like admitting alcoholism for the first time. Men will play around with ridiculous comb-overs, toupees, and scalp spray paint before looking at themselves in the mirror and saying "I'm bald."
Sometimes it is easier for a man to digest he has cancer than he is losing his hair. Along his journey he has probably hemorrhaged money on magic hair growth potions and pills, laser combs and herbal shampoos. Men will part with thousands of dollars just for the hope of hanging on to a few follicles.
Infomercials have largely replaced the greasy mustached man from the back of the wagon, pulling into town with hair tonic to peddle to the local rubes. Hair loss treatments are hocked everywhere by otherwise reputable companies and con artists alike. They are all bunk. If doctors really did discover a cure for hair loss (as I've seen advertised), I suspect you'd see no bald doctors.
One could fill a museum with contraptions that have been sold to desperate men for their balding scalps. Vacuum helmets to suck new hair to the surface, vibrating bands to stimulate blood flow, scalp massagers and shampoos to detoxify the scalp hurt nothing but men's wallets.
Some of the more sinister treatments contained arsenic, mercury, and who knows what else. But perhaps no greater hoax was pulled on mankind than convincing men that powdered wigs could be fashionable. Something tells me there was a group of profiting balding men somewhere behind this.
Even as far back as 1500 BC, people were concerned with hair loss and tried to persuade their gods to help regrow their hair. Egyptian and Greek literature are full of references to this.
Julius Caesar reportedly wore a victory wreath to hide his bald spot. And everyone is familiar with the physical and psychological destruction wrought upon the great Samson after losing his locks. Hippocrates the Father of Medicine prescribed a potion of pigeon feces, cumin, horseradish and nettles to cure hair loss. Needless to say he as well as his patients remained absolutely bald. Of course if this foul concoction were marketed online today, I think men would be typing in their credit card numbers right now to get some.
If you are balding, let me save you some time and money here. There are only two FDA-approved medications to treat male pattern hair loss: Minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia).
There are a few other prescription medicines that can be tweaked here and there, but minoxidil and finasteride represent where you should put your money. Don't spring for that elixir on the pop-up ad or infomercial.
Finasteride is a prescription so you'd want to talk to your dermatologist about potential side affects. Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a blood pressure medication that happened to have a side affect of growing hair, so its manufacturer formulated it for OTC topical use. It's also one of the few accepted treatments for female pattern baldness.
I usually put people on a biotin vitamin as well for good measure in addition to prescription medication. Hair transplantation and grafting have come light years from the "doll plug" and "corn row" look of a decade ago. It is expensive but permanent and actually the most natural solution in my opinion. Donor hair from the back of the scalp is transplanted into the bald areas. The donor hair follicles are hair from the horseshoe like area of the head, where men don't typically lose their hair. Since these types of follicles biologically respond differently to your hormones, they should not fall out once transplanted. Luckily we have a local doctor here in the area that does excellent work
You may have heard that baldness is caused from an overabundance of testosterone in the body and that bald men have higher levels of testosterone. Neither of these statements is true. A form of testosterone called DHT is to blame, however. It is a powerful sex hormone that promotes facial and body hair growth while leading to hair loss on the scalp. In genetically prone individuals, DHT starts the process of shrinking the hair follicle. Each time it sheds, it grows back smaller and smaller. Eventually the scalp is left with "peach fuzz" or just barren. Way back when, Aristotle noticed that neither eunuchs nor women grew hair on their chests and he correctly surmised this was due to the lack of testes. DHT also affects prostate tissue and leads to noncancerous prostate enlargement.
You may also have heard that baldness comes from your mother's side of the family. If only it were that simple. This myth can be traced back to a paper published in 1916 and has been propagated throughout the medical and lay literature since. There is no single way to get hair loss from your parents, as it is a complex genetic trait most likely coming from both sides.
Balding is not unique to humans. Gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans all show some different degrees of baldness. Some psychologists have even proposed that a gorilla's high forehead (simulating baldness) creates a larger show for the face, and hence a more powerful social standing.
It was the late 1990s when I started to lose my hair and the only famous bald man I knew was George Costanza from "Seinfeld" - not too inspiring. Being bald used to mean you were either seriously ill, a religious freak, a slave or maybe the loser of a bet. Then suddenly Michael Jordan and Andre Agassi made it acceptable for men to shave their heads.They unlocked a new world for bald guys. No longer would we be compared to Tele Savalas or Mr. Clean.
So one day I woke up at 2 a.m. and shaved my head for the first time. I then climbed back in bed with my wife. I should mention here that I didn't discuss it with her beforehand, so one can imagine her surprise waking up next to a Hare Krishna. Fifteen years later, I'm still shaving it (only there is less and less to shave each year). An interesting psychological point is that it took about three years of being bald in the real world to see myself as a bald person when I dreamed. I think it took that long for my ingrained self-image to adjust.
In conclusion, I'd like to share an amusing Biblical reference I came upon in preparing this article: Kings 2: 23 From there Elisha went to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said "go on up, you baldhead!" He turned round, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the youths. I guess even holy man can be sensitive about their hair loss! And God obviously loves bald men.
We are all suckers for our hair. It defines us. We groom and style it to communicate different messages to others. We color, twist, braid, clip and even spike it. It is a sign of virility, youth and strength. Human beings love their hair. The fear of losing our hair and going bald ranks right up there with death and dismemberment for most people.
I'm bald. For some men to say those words is like admitting alcoholism for the first time. Men will play around with ridiculous comb-overs, toupees, and scalp spray paint before looking at themselves in the mirror and saying "I'm bald."
Sometimes it is easier for a man to digest he has cancer than he is losing his hair. Along his journey he has probably hemorrhaged money on magic hair growth potions and pills, laser combs and herbal shampoos. Men will part with thousands of dollars just for the hope of hanging on to a few follicles.
Infomercials have largely replaced the greasy mustached man from the back of the wagon, pulling into town with hair tonic to peddle to the local rubes. Hair loss treatments are hocked everywhere by otherwise reputable companies and con artists alike. They are all bunk. If doctors really did discover a cure for hair loss (as I've seen advertised), I suspect you'd see no bald doctors.
One could fill a museum with contraptions that have been sold to desperate men for their balding scalps. Vacuum helmets to suck new hair to the surface, vibrating bands to stimulate blood flow, scalp massagers and shampoos to detoxify the scalp hurt nothing but men's wallets.
Some of the more sinister treatments contained arsenic, mercury, and who knows what else. But perhaps no greater hoax was pulled on mankind than convincing men that powdered wigs could be fashionable. Something tells me there was a group of profiting balding men somewhere behind this.
Even as far back as 1500 BC, people were concerned with hair loss and tried to persuade their gods to help regrow their hair. Egyptian and Greek literature are full of references to this.
Julius Caesar reportedly wore a victory wreath to hide his bald spot. And everyone is familiar with the physical and psychological destruction wrought upon the great Samson after losing his locks. Hippocrates the Father of Medicine prescribed a potion of pigeon feces, cumin, horseradish and nettles to cure hair loss. Needless to say he as well as his patients remained absolutely bald. Of course if this foul concoction were marketed online today, I think men would be typing in their credit card numbers right now to get some.
If you are balding, let me save you some time and money here. There are only two FDA-approved medications to treat male pattern hair loss: Minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia).
There are a few other prescription medicines that can be tweaked here and there, but minoxidil and finasteride represent where you should put your money. Don't spring for that elixir on the pop-up ad or infomercial.
Finasteride is a prescription so you'd want to talk to your dermatologist about potential side affects. Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a blood pressure medication that happened to have a side affect of growing hair, so its manufacturer formulated it for OTC topical use. It's also one of the few accepted treatments for female pattern baldness.
I usually put people on a biotin vitamin as well for good measure in addition to prescription medication. Hair transplantation and grafting have come light years from the "doll plug" and "corn row" look of a decade ago. It is expensive but permanent and actually the most natural solution in my opinion. Donor hair from the back of the scalp is transplanted into the bald areas. The donor hair follicles are hair from the horseshoe like area of the head, where men don't typically lose their hair. Since these types of follicles biologically respond differently to your hormones, they should not fall out once transplanted. Luckily we have a local doctor here in the area that does excellent work
You may have heard that baldness is caused from an overabundance of testosterone in the body and that bald men have higher levels of testosterone. Neither of these statements is true. A form of testosterone called DHT is to blame, however. It is a powerful sex hormone that promotes facial and body hair growth while leading to hair loss on the scalp. In genetically prone individuals, DHT starts the process of shrinking the hair follicle. Each time it sheds, it grows back smaller and smaller. Eventually the scalp is left with "peach fuzz" or just barren. Way back when, Aristotle noticed that neither eunuchs nor women grew hair on their chests and he correctly surmised this was due to the lack of testes. DHT also affects prostate tissue and leads to noncancerous prostate enlargement.
You may also have heard that baldness comes from your mother's side of the family. If only it were that simple. This myth can be traced back to a paper published in 1916 and has been propagated throughout the medical and lay literature since. There is no single way to get hair loss from your parents, as it is a complex genetic trait most likely coming from both sides.
Balding is not unique to humans. Gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans all show some different degrees of baldness. Some psychologists have even proposed that a gorilla's high forehead (simulating baldness) creates a larger show for the face, and hence a more powerful social standing.
It was the late 1990s when I started to lose my hair and the only famous bald man I knew was George Costanza from "Seinfeld" - not too inspiring. Being bald used to mean you were either seriously ill, a religious freak, a slave or maybe the loser of a bet. Then suddenly Michael Jordan and Andre Agassi made it acceptable for men to shave their heads.They unlocked a new world for bald guys. No longer would we be compared to Tele Savalas or Mr. Clean.
So one day I woke up at 2 a.m. and shaved my head for the first time. I then climbed back in bed with my wife. I should mention here that I didn't discuss it with her beforehand, so one can imagine her surprise waking up next to a Hare Krishna. Fifteen years later, I'm still shaving it (only there is less and less to shave each year). An interesting psychological point is that it took about three years of being bald in the real world to see myself as a bald person when I dreamed. I think it took that long for my ingrained self-image to adjust.
In conclusion, I'd like to share an amusing Biblical reference I came upon in preparing this article: Kings 2: 23 From there Elisha went to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. "Go on up, you baldhead!" they said "go on up, you baldhead!" He turned round, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the youths. I guess even holy man can be sensitive about their hair loss! And God obviously loves bald men.
