Reduce Hair Loss With A Thorough Head Massage

A thorough massage is necessary to improve the blood circulation of the scalp. By massaging the scalp the hair follicles are stimulated and the texture of the hair is also enhanced. Massaging activates the nerves and a sense of calmness in the mind ensues. This therapy is useful for people who have routine stress.

Everyday spend about 5-10 minutes massaging your hair with your fingers. Move your fingers circularly all over the head starting from the temporal parts to the occipital area. Apply the necessary pressure to the areas. Even yoga exercises such as the headstand are recommended for proper circulation to all the parts, especially the hair follicles to stimulate growth.

There are various types of massaging techniques, which can be followed. Indonesian style is best suited for relieving mental tension and improving the quality of the hair. The massaging steps are given below in detail:

1)Stand with your feet apart and start breathing in and out

2)Bend from the waist till the level of your head falls below the waist area.

3)Bring your feet close to each other and start rubbing your scalp with your knuckles all over your head for about half a minute.

4)Slowly start bringing your body to the normal level and continue rubbing on the scalp.

Be careful that when you are massaging your scalp, do not massage roughly. The hair fibers may split causing you pain and damage to the hair. So massage gently and thoroughly.

Will You Live To Be 100?

Many people write to me with questions about aging. Although I am certainly not a geriatric specialist, I do have some personal thoughts on how we might reduce the effects of aging. I do NOT believe that as we age, we automatically acquire age-related conditions. I believe that we induce them by not caring for ourselves as we should. Sure, some of our physical experiences are inherited, yet there is so much we can do to slow things down.

Number one in my book is: TO stay LIMBER! First, keep your mind limber and THINK YOUNG! Always read, read, and read. Read materials that stretch your mind in ways that are unusual. If you always read novels of a certain kind, change things; read a scientific book, a book about cooking, chemistry, world history or archeology. Challenge both hemispheres of your brain; logical as well as the creative mind. Do crossword puzzles and math games. Balance your own checkbook. Memorize a poem, a grocery list, and move backward through your day to see if you can remember everything that you did. Dont take a calculator out every time you need to add a column of numbers, and learn more about computers. It is also extremely important for people to continue to write, not just type; I mean a hand-written note. Handwriting creates a different mental response. Handwritten letters and thank you notes are all ways much appreciated by the recipient.

Be certain of course, that your body stays limber too. most of you work out and some of you still play sports. Great! Do that, and also take up a new activity. When you experience anything new, the mind must also participate. Learn to dance, play golf, cross country ski, practice yoga or swimwhatever you choose, change your activities so that you have a wonderful mix of stretching, muscle strengthening, and aerobic exercise. It is really important to have fun! For those of you who are generations behind the Boomers, take these suggestions and use them early in life and you should be far ahead of us when you reach 50.

Eat a wide variety of foods. When you feel you have been eating too much junk food, dont beat yourself up, just forgive yourself and start eating more live foods again, such as vegetables and fruits, raw seeds and nuts. You dont have to do everything right all of the time. The body needs to learn as well. If you only ate perfect foods all of the time, the bodys signals would get sluggish. Once in a while our immune systems need to be stimulated. In a way, it is like the Tuesday morning Emergency Alert Systems that need to be tested just to be sure they work. So, let go of the guilt about having an ice cream cone, or a piece of cake. You must realize by now that moderation is the key to a wonderful life.

Choose the best foods available, be with people you enjoy as often as possible, play together, work hard enough to challenge your mindand enjoy each day! Certainly take a good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement and other support elements such as antioxidants and compressed greens like Spirulina often. For those with digestive upsets include enzymes and definitely pro-biotics to keep the gut healthy. add a little Omega rich foods like Flax Oil and Salmon and your joints will be happier. Keep a supply of purified water with you and stay hydrated.

If you are a Baby Boomer and wondering how long you have to live, click on the link below to calculate your estimated longevity. The great news is, if you have reached 50 years all ready, chances are you will be here to bounce great-grandchildren on your knee!

Now, if you really want to live a longer time, research shows that Hawaii is the place where people are outliving the rest of us in this country. New Mexico and Colorado residents are not far behind one of my favorite places in the world (Hawaii), but dont move to West Virginia; for some reason they arent high on the list of people living upwards of 100. My guess is that the more beautiful your environment, he more trees, flowers, and water perhaps, the greater amounts of negative ions and oxygen in the air. My thought is this: If you cant move for one reason or another, at least try to take vacations and visit the most beautiful places in the USA. How many of you have seen Yellowstone? The Grand Canyon? Hawaii? Colorado? Montana? California? Maine? Alaska? Oregon? You owe it to yourselves to check out the more simple and serene places right here in america.

For those of you that MUST know your potential lifespan, go to your favorite search engine and just type in longevity calculator. You will see several sites that have questionnaires that will help determine your longevity.

Wishing you many healthy and fun-filled years!

Getting rid of cellulite by natural means can be a daunting task. With fast food stops and super sized restaurant meals, temptation lurks around almost every corner. corporate America knows that we all love foods that are quick, convenient and taste yummy.

Focus on whole grains, beans, fresh fruit and fresh veggies. Think of meat as a condiment. Your thighs will thank you for it.

3. Don't Skimp on water - The body can't process foods properly without an ample supply of water. Chronic dehydration damages the body's metabolic functions and can lead to weight gain. You need to drink 2 to 4 liters of water every single day to stay properly hydrated.

4. Don't Worry, Be Happy - It sounds stupid, but your mental attitude has a profound effect on the health of your body. stress and lack of sleep will cause you to gain weight. The happier you are, the healthier you will be.

Minnesota Golf Courses - Territory Golf Club in St Cloud

What you will notice when you arrive at Territory Golf club and make your way to the clubhouse is a rolling prairie landscape. What you will also notice is wetlands and streams running through the property. What you won't notice is an abundance of trees. This is what you see about the property from the parking lot. Because looks can be deceiving, what you will later discover is the tale of two golf courses. All of the hole on the front nine, as well as, holes 10 and 18 are situated on rolling prairie with a compliment of native grasses in the rough and other places that you are not supposed to hit your golf ball. holes 11 through 17 are cut out of an oak forest that also features wetlands and streams along with some significant elevation changes.

Territory Golf club plays to a par of 72 and measures 6,921 yards from the back tee markers. The course rating, from the back tees, is 72.9 and has a slope index of 125. There are four sets of tee markers, which means there is an appropriate yardage for golfers of all skills.

The management team consisting of Brock Swanson, head golf professional, Dan Stang, golf course superintendent and Dan Dols, general manager make sure that the players experience is outstanding. The course condition and the pace of play make Territory Golf club a golf course that you will want to place on your list of places to play in central minnesota. My playing partner and I played our round on a weekend morning and completed our play in just less than four hours. There were groups in front of and behind us and the pace of play flowed nicely.

The greens at Territory Golf club are quite large, averaging nearly 7,000 square feet each and have significant undulation. These two factors make club selection as you approach the green critical. Just being on the green in regulation does not guarantee that you will have two putts for a par. My playing partner for the round described the greens a looking like "big potato chips" referring the random shapes as well as the wavy appearance as you walk onto the putting surface.

Another challenge at Territory Golf club is the sand traps. The traps can generally be described as large, deep and having steep faces on them. Getting out of the traps successfully should be your first concern, getting close to the pin should be of secondary importance.

The back nine plays longer than the front nine with number 10 and number 18 being the two longest holes on the golf course. The par-3 holes are longer-range holes with the shortest playing at 170 yards and the longest playing at 245 yards.
