By Dr. Rosemary Lichtman

Tricia was feeling the full impact of being a member of the Sandwich Generation as her father declined in his 80s. Dad and I shared such fun times together when I was young he taught me how to ride a horse, shoot a BB gun, ice skate, stand on my head. He was always so active. Last year, I had to insist that he not drive anymore. Now, seeing him shuffle around just breaks my heart.

Its difficult for any baby Boomer to watch as parents deteriorate. And they may complicate the situation by being in denial about their vulnerable condition. Its up to you to acknowledge the true state of affairs and be straightforward in dealing with their increasing fragility. A number of issues must be discussed, uncomfortable as that is – health care directives in an emergency, long-term care options, the designated power of attorney, distribution of income and assets.

After evaluating the practical issues that need to be managed, you will feel more in control as you gather detailed information and make arrangements for the most immediate concerns. Like Tricia, you can recall the good times and use some of the following 8 tips to help you plan and implement your caregiving:

1. Embrace the changes in your parents and respect their integrity. Accept them at whatever stage they are, even as they become less strong physically and mentally. Willa reminisced about her Father. He has always been my hero. As a child, I felt safe with him because he was so powerful. Now I admire his courage and dignity, as he struggles with coming to terms with end of life issues.

2. Spend time learning more about your parents illness. Educate yourself on what to expect and the resources available. Talk to friends who have gone through similar experiences in order to get realistic feedback and concrete advice.

3. Make sure that your parents are as involved in the decision-making process as they can be. Moving out of their own home may signify their loss of independence. This often creates anger, frustration, or feelings of depression. Understanding their pain and engaging a geriatric social worker or gerontologist at this time can be helpful for everyone in the family.

4. Dont do it alone secure help, even if it is over your parents objections, and have support systems in place. Reach out, create a network, hire someone to assist them as often as you think is necessary. Betty was frantic about making arrangements for her Dad after his stroke. I was so relieved when I was introduced to the hospital discharge planner. Her expertise and kindness made the move to a rehabilitation center almost bearable. Make good use of community interventions, respite care, support groups and adult caregiver resources.

5. Be forthright with your family. Engage your siblings in the problems and the solutions. Ask for practical help and delegate responsibilities. Have them set aside personal agendas and work together toward collective goals.

6. Some nonprofit organizations nationwide offer free services or financial grants for respite care for family members who provide most of the care to their chronically ill elders. The federal government, through the National Family Caregiver Support Program, provided funds for respite care to over 190,000 families in 2004. To learn if there is a program in your local community, go online to Eldercare.gov and look for the Eldercare Locator, or call 1-800-677-1116.

7. See the present challenge as a teachable moment and make the most of learning whatever you can. Apply these lessons to other areas of your life. What insight have you gained about dealing with your own aging process? How can you talk to your children about your wishes when you become older?

8. Look for the positives in these tough times. Gloria was learning a lot about herself as she cared for her Dad in the last months of his life. I had never really been tested like this before. Sometimes caring for him seemed like more than I could endure, but I kept going. Now I know how strong I can be. In the end, think less about what youre losing and more about the chance you may be gaining. This could be the only time in your life that you have the opportunity to give back to your parents emotionally what they have given to you

As you are discovering more about developing your own capacity for resiliency, you will find the way to nourish yourself. You may call on your faith, your spirituality, or your sense of humor. Rely on whatever sustains you during these most difficult moments.

This is Our Finest Hour? I Have a Dream? No, nothing like that. This is a speech of 2 words I heard the other day.I was in a hospital getting a chest x-ray, a prerequisite for surgery on my broken ankle. Its been two weeks since it happened, two weeks full of pain, change, and coping. Ive described how it happened, learned how to get around the house on crutches, visited doctors and labs, waited on x-rays, and asked neighbors to get the mail and groceries. Ive also been put through the pre-op battery of tests blood tests, EKGs, chest x-rays, and discussions with my doctor, who felt the best approach was surgery.In my EQ Alive! program, which trains and certifies EQ coaches, Ive participated in the weekly EQ Check In along with the students. We tell each other how we feel physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. We begin each teleclass that way, and listen closely to the answers. EQ competencies include emotional expression, and also Integrated Self, being in touch with all aspects of yourself. Most of all it means not engaging in the meaningless, How are you? Fine.In a shutdown and coping mode, I thought I was being realistic about how I was feeling. I said I was in pain. I said I was physically slow and the painkillers had dulled me mentally, and that spiritually things were the same as ever. What more was there to say? I never gave it a thought. So there I was in the hospital. Id been sent to the wrong place and walked about a mile on the crutches to find that out. I was accepted, however, thanks to the work of a nurse named Lupe with very high EQ who just pushed the order on through. And then, mercifully finally in a wheelchair, Id been wheeled to the x-ray waiting area and left in the hall. As I sat there, a woman on a stretcher was wheeled up. I could tell she was sick. Her hair hadnt been washed in a while and she had a nose tube for oxygen, and a tube in her arm. Her color didnt look good and she barely moved. She reminded me of my dad the last time I saw him in the hospital. She was accompanied by two women. The first one went over to sign papers, and the other one walked off down the hall.A technologist walked out toward the woman on the stretcher when I heard the speech that touched me so. I think she thought he was coming to take her into the x-ray room.Im afraid! she cried out.God love her, I thought. So am I! I tried to get out of my chair and go to her, but the technologist beat me to her. Speaking to her in her native tongue, Spanish, he rushed to her side, took her hand and started soothing her. Abuelita, he called her, little grandmother, a term of endearment. A nurse brought out a screen to give her privacy and she quieted. She quieted and I thought: Why is it so hard to get to Im afraid? Of course Id been afraid the whole time, from the moment I heard the bones turn in my ankle. I started repeating, Please dont let it be broken, please dont let it be broken. There was no way to tell, and I was left with pain and fear. Was it broken? Is this because my bones are getting old and this is just the beginning? Will this mean arthritis pain for the rest of my life? Will the insurance cover it? What on earth is my deductible? How can I ever manage this at home alone? Will it need surgery? General anesthesia? Will I survive it? Will they have to rebreak it like one neighbor says, and put in 6 screws like the other one says? What will happen? I shut all these things down and used words like tired and in pain, but at the core, yes, I was afraid. Fear of the unknown, and fear of being helpless and dependent.I was also afraid of the fantasized reactions of others, having come from a family of shame and blame. I think nothing will ever happen to me that I wont feel like I caused it and was a bad girl because of that. Words from an overwhelmed, shame-and-blame mother who saw everything as simply more work for her. Whatever caused the ankle to break, I shouldve known better, I shouldnt have done it, I shouldnt have been there, and I should never have let it happen as if I were omniscient and omnipotent. That means all-knowing and in control of everything in the world. It was family that taught intellectual words, not feelings. Old childhood fears. In line with, Whatever it is you fear has already happened.And at that particular moment in the hospital corridor, well you never know what will turn up on any chest x-ray, no matter why its required. Nor had the results of the EKG come in yet. What if I went in with a broken ankle and came out with a bypass? Or worse yet, out the back door on a stretcher. Its been known to happen. As J. Powell says in Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? emotions are not moral (good or bad). Feeling frustrated, or being annoyed, or experiencing fears and anger do not make one a good or bad person [a weak or strong person.] But this is theory. In our day-to-day lives most of us blame ourselves for our feelings. And if we judge them to be bad, or unacceptable to us in some way, we bury them.So there I sat in my wheelchair, silent and alone. And there was Abuelita, expressing her fear and getting comforted. Its an old lesson: People care. If we say were afraid we can be comforted. If we dont, we cant. All studies show that people do best who have a strong social support network, and if you dont say WHO you are and HOW you are, you arent getting the connection that sustains you. You remain alone in the presence of others, which is the loneliest youll ever be.And let me close with the words of the technologist who finally did my x-ray. Dianna was her name. She read the name of my company, Emotionally Intelligent Solutions, on the chart. Whats that, she said, Is that like Im to the point where I cant stand any of my co-workers any more and I think theyre dumb and ignorant and feel like Im about to explode,Yes, EQ is about that, too!The woman works two 16-hour days, physical and demanding (how on earth do you do that?) and has three children at home. I gave her my card. I hope shell call me. It may not be her co-workers that are the problem.And thats the power of Emotional Intelligence. If you are the problem, you are also the solution, and Emotional Intelligence is the bridge between the two.

Say Goodbye to Bladder Problems with Subliminal Message and Hypnosis

Bladder problems can be some of the most excruciating problems that can affect your body. The bladder controls one of the most important functions in the body, that of excreting the waste materials from the body. This maintains the cleanliness and balance in the body, so you will stay clean, healthy, and safe.

Unfortunately, millions of people suffer from bladder problems and it has become a very common medical problem, though most people who suffer from it do not speak of it since it can be quite embarrassing. There are also many kinds as well as causes of bladder problems that can affect your body. Some of the causes are physical, while some are psychological.

Bladder problems can also have many different unusual effects on the body. It can lead to infections, sores, rashes, and so on. It can also cause sexual disturbances as well as sleeping problems.

1. Determine the cause. The first step in solving bladder problems is to determine the main cause of the problem. Most bladder problems can be easily treated or cured, as long as you determine what kind of problem it is and what causes it. Here are some of the common causes and kinds of the problem.

Shy bladder

Bladder infection

Incontinence This is when you become unable to control where and when you empty your bladder; it is also called bladder control problem, which affects over 14 million people in the US alone.

Prolapse This is when the uterus drops or the bladder bulges.

2. Control your bladder from your subconscious. Since peeing is already second nature, there is no way to consciously control it. You cannot make yourself pee if you dont have to pee, and you cannot hold it back for very long when you need to. This shows that you need to go beyond the conscious level if you want to regulate your bladder habits.

This is where subliminal messages come in. Subliminal messages are coded messages hidden usually in music or in videos; these messages are designed to talk straight to the subconscious level so you can reach that part of the mind which controls the bladder. You can use messages such as:

I am in control of my body and all its processes.

I am at ease in my body.

I am comfortable all the time.

You can use subliminal messages to cure your bladder problems by simply listening to subliminal music and watching subliminal videos. There are such programs that are widely for sale over the Internet these days.

3. Seek help from a hypnotherapist. You can also seek help from a hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is one of the leading treatment options especially for a shy bladder. Hypnosis unlocks the mental block in your brain that prevents you from peeing freely and naturally when you need to.

If you dont want to consult a hypnotherapist, you can also learn how to do self hypnosis so you can do the treatment by yourself anytime your bladder shows signs of shyness.

A shy bladder means the waste in your body dont get to come out when they need to, so you need to find an immediate treatment for it to prevent causing any larger physical problems.

Strengthening your legs by focusing on their fast-twitch muscle fibers can quickly add inches to your vertical jump. Increasing your vertical jump can be a huge advantage in sports like basketball, volley, or football. It’s important to follow this routine closely and make sure to challenge yourself during every workout. The human body does not change on it’s own, you have to force it to do so. Here are a few easy exercises that can add 6-12 inches to your vertical jump in 4-6 weeks.

Start every workout by stretching your leg muscle extensively. You’re going to be building muscle fibers that are used for explosive activities such as jumping, so stretching is of the utmost importance. Think if your achilles tendon as a rubber band, the more flexible it becomes, the more spring you have.

1. Jumping rope is an excellent exercise for both conditioning and increasing your vertical jump.

2. Add sprints to your workout routine. This will add both muscle and explosiveness to your repertoire.

3. Run football stadium stairs. Run stairs until you can no longer run. This will build your hamstrings and develop a solid foundation for jumping.

Depth Jumps

Start by placing a step bench or platform on the ground. Stand on the platform, then jump backward onto the ground, concentrating on landing softly. Jump back onto the platform immediately, with a bouncing motion.

Complete three sets of 10 repetitions. Depth jumps are one of the most effective exercises for developing a strong vertical jump.

Double Jumps

Position yourself for an explosive leg jump by facing a secure platform and placing your right foot on it. Jump as high as you can, concentrating on exploding off the right leg. Scissor your legs once in the air, then land with your left foot on the platform and your right foot on the floor. Gather yourself and explode upward again, this time off the left foot. Do three sets of 10 repetitions, resting for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets. Execute a double jump by jumping as high as possible with both feet from a stationary position. Jump again immediately upon landing, using less effort.

Repeat until you’ve accomplished three sets of 10 jumps each.

Weighted Exercises:

Squats- Use a light amount of weight and go for high repetitions.

Step-ups- Position a bench bar across your shoulders and step up onto an fixed bench of workout box. Do one leg at a time. This will add some serious spring to your vertical.

Calf Raises- Do sets of 20-25 calf raises with light weight at the end of every workout to create explosiveness from your calf muscles.

Decompress by jumping rope for 15 minutes and stretching thoroughly to close your workout. Be sure to consume a high quality protein before and post workout to ensure you maintain your energy levels and have the fuel to properly recover. Initially, this workout routine will be very hard and strenuous on your muscles. This is why it’s so important to stretch. Athletes who stretch recover fast and are less prone to injury, which hinders your overall goals.

Nursing as a profession

by

dave4

Nursing is a highly regarded profession with high standards of honesty and ethics amongst various other professions. Nursing has emerged as the largest health care occupation with over 2.7 million jobs. With over 100,000 vacant positions and a ever-growing need for health care workers, the career outlook is excellent for the nursing field. National Center for Workforce Analysis, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services predicts a shortage of 808,416 nurses by the year 2020. Such an analysis and prediction is backed by very strong reasoning and findings. Advancement in technology and medical field has resulted in an increased life span. Elderly population is now living longer and more of them will require care and nursing. With more elderly people in need of such care, demands rise for nursing force that can meet such needs. Also, the need for more skilled nurses is growing. With insurance companies stepping into the medical field to reduce the cost of health care expenditure, demand for nurses, outside the hospital setting has also risen. Not to forget that the current nursing workforce is aging and many are expected to retire over next 10-15 years only to create a void, adding to the shortage further. So, nurses with a BSN degree can expect a securer career and better job prospects.

Nurses blend knowledge of science and technology with the art of care and compassion. Nursing provides opportunity to save and improve lives, care for the sick and debilitated, educate patients and people towards achieving good health and above all, the feeling of helping someone in their hour of illness and need. There is no greater service than caring for the sick and needy. Nurses are required to deliver basic duties, which includes but is not limited to providing treatment, health education, emotional support, record maintenance, operating medical equipment in addition to counseling patient and their family about the management of their illness. Registered Nurses (RNs) also run general health screening and immunization clinics, organize public seminars, motivate blood donation drives, etc. Three out of five nurses in the United States work in hospitals. Most of the others work in clinics, home health, extended care settings, schools, colleges, universities, the public health services, and nonprofit agencies throughout the United States and many other countries. Nursing can be a challenging job with continuous exposure to grief and suffering, stress, work pressures, little or excessive patient contact and occupational hazards including but not limited to infectious diseases, radiation exposure, accidental needle sticks, chemicals, anesthesia, back injury and emotional stress. Role autonomy and independence, innovativeness, technical knowledge, and teamwork are characteristics of this job, in addition to personal satisfaction and professional rewards.

The nursing schools are a gateway to this profession and almost all of them require a high school diploma in addition to sound academic standing in English, Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology with a GPA score of atleast 3. Computer experience is an asset. Leadership and organization skills are vital to this profession. Most schools shall still require you to clear the National League for Nursing (NLN) Pre-admission exam besides the SAT exam. Over 1,500 nursing programs in the US provide three different educational paths towards becoming a Registered Nurse (RN). Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a four-year program offered at colleges and universities. An associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) is a two-year program offered at many community and junior colleges. Some hospital schools of nursing and universities offer an ADN degrees. Hospital Diploma is a two to three year program based in hospital settings. Many diploma schools are affiliated with junior colleges where students take basic science and English requirements. Opportunities are maximum with a BSN degree. BSN is a requirement for obtaining a master’s degree or becoming an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN). The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recognizes the BSN degree as the minimum educational requirement for a professional nursing practice. Even though graduates can begin practice as an RN with an ADN or diploma, the BSN degree is a must for nurses seeking to assume roles as case-managers or supervisors or move across employment settings. Tuition fee depends on your college and state of residence, but financial aids and scholarships are available to take care of such needs. There are technical and vocational schools as well, which provide one-year course towards becoming a Practical Nurse or a Vocational Nurse. Once graduated, the next important thing is to obtain licensure for practice in the State of your preference. Eighteen states participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact Agreement (NCLA) which permits a licensed nurse to practice in any of the other seventeen states, if they have obtained license to practice in one of the states. License can be obtained by passing national licensing exam NCLEX-RN for becoming a Registered Nurse and NCLEX-PN for becoming Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) as in Texas, California. LPN and LCN provide care for sick, injured and disabled under direct supervision of physicians and RNs.

Nursing career is full of opportunities for those who want to specialize and pursue higher education. A few popular specialties are AIDS Care Nurse, Ambulatory Care Nurse, Cardiac Rehabilitation Nurse, Case Management, Correctional Nurse, Enterostomal Therapy Nurse, Gastroenterology/Endoscopy Nurse, Genetics Nurse, Infection Control Nurse, Intravenous Therapy Nurse, long-term Care Nurse, Managed Care Nurse, Nephrology Nurse and more, the list does not end here. Most of the specialties do welcome RNs with a BSN degree only. In addition, there is increasing demand for APNs. APNs are primary health care practitioners, working independently or in collaboration with physicians. In most states, they are permitted to prescribe medications. The four specializations for APNs include Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) providing expert consultation in any of the above mentioned specialties; Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) administer anesthesia and monitor patient’s vital signs during surgery in addition to providing post-anesthesia care; Nurse Midwives (CNM) provide primary care to females covering aspects like family planning, prenatal care, neonatal care and assist delivery; and Nurse Practitioners (NP) who provide basic preventive health care to patient. NPs are primary as well as specialty care providers in medically underserved areas. APNs are lower cost primary care providers in comparison to physicians.

Advanced degrees available to nurses are masters (MSN), doctoral degree (Ph.D., EdD, DNS) and post-doctoral programmes. Doctoral degrees can provide placements as a senior policy analyst, researcher, health system executive and as a nursing school dean.

RNs may work as a staff nurse or become APNs. Also exisins are a few positions involving little or no direct patient contact. Such positions include Case Managers, Forensic Managers (applying knowledge of nursing for legal enforcement, like treating and investigating a victim of assault or abuse and similar), Infection Control Nurses, Legal Nurse Consultants (assist lawyers in medical cases by interviewing patient, organizing records, and educating lawyers about medical conditions), Nurse Administrators, Nurse Informatics, Health Care Consultants, Public Policy Advisors, Medical editors and writers.

Career and job prospects are bright as mentioned above and with increasing demand and difficulty to hold up nurses in hospitals, many hospitals and corporate sectors have now started offering incentives like signing bonuses, subsidized training, open shift bidding. Open shift bidding is an emerging concept where nurses can find vacant shifts at premium wages and bid for same online. This also reduces mandatory overtime that many nurses have to do otherwise. Many employers now provide family friendly work schedules and flexibility, again an indication of demand in such places.

RNs are earning anywhere from $37,300 to greater than $74,760 depending upon qualifications and experience, besides job locations. Median salary can be appreciated as $52,330 annually. Entry level RN can earn from $30,000 to $45,000 annually. All this comes with benefit packages including health insurance, holiday pay, college tuition reimbursement, childcare, pension plans and much more. Expected shortage of nurses over coming years is going to tilt the situation more in the favor of nurses and they can look forward to a securer future with brighter prospects and rewards.

Becoming a nurse is not just about money but dedicating your life to service mankind, caring for the sick and to be able to support them and their family in difficult times. The potential is enormous and specialization options aplenty. Nursing as a profession is full of personal satisfaction and professional rewards.

People always say “you are what you eat,” and in many ways, it is true. What you eat affects your body, its production of enzymes, and the amount of nutrients the cells absorb. Some of the stuff that you eat can even change your cell receptors, changing your body’s ability to absorb certain types of nutrients. How does this affect your hair? Well, first and foremost, your nutrition can “boost” your natural tendency to Male Pattern Baldness. Second, if you don’t eat enough foods with the vitamins and minerals your hair needs, your hair can grow weak, and the growth-cycle can be damaged. Anorexics and Bulimics often lose hair due to lack of nutrients.

Male Pattern Baldness is caused by DHT (a derivative form of testosterone produced in your body). The naturally produced testosterone in your body binds with the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, creating DHT. The enzyme 5-alpha-reductase exists in two forms, one, which is concentrated in liver cells and prostate cell membranes, and a second, which is concentrated in the skin and scalp. DHT then binds to the androgen receptor in hair follicles, and when present at a high enough level in the body, the DHT in effect “turns off” hair growth in that particular hair follicle. High levels of fats in the diet contribute to increased activity of both forms of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and the subsequent conversion of testosterone to DHT.

Which foods promote increased activity of the enzyme ultimately responsible for your DHT production? It has been established that DHT levels are higher in people who eat a lot of trans fats. Red meat, processed convenience foods, pastries and margarine are all rich in trans fats, and can increase levels of testosterone in the body. The more processed fat you eat, especially fats chemically altered by adding a hydrogen molecule to unsaturated fat (creating those trans fats so aversely affecting your body), the more hair you’re likely to lose.

There are other causes and contributory factors of Male Pattern Baldness. Local inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by poor diet or an allergic reaction, can promote hair loss. Additionally, people’s dietary fat intake has pronounced effects on the presence of androgens, and a high presence of trans fatty acids has particularly adverse effects.

On the other hand, not all fats are bad for you. There is a lot you can do with your nutrition to promote hair growth. People with higher levels of essential fatty acids in their diets tend to have a lower level of testosterone and DHT in their bodies, as these “good” fats help reduce the harmful effects of trans fatty acids on testosterone hormone levels. Some theories state that these essential fatty acids have a dampening effect on levels of activity of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, and therefore blood levels of DHT.

Unfortunately, most foods containing essential fatty acids are cooked or fried in high temperatures, and most of the essential fatty acids will be lost, as heat, pasteurization or hydrogenation will have metamorphosed most of the essential fatty acids into trans-fatty acids. Avoid deep fried foods, and try to eat as much unprocessed, natural foods and fats that you can.

Which foods have essential fatty acids that you can eat to help lower DHT levels? Olives, whole grains and fish all contain the essential fatty acids so necessary to combat the amount of trans fat acids in your body. Most essential fatty acids are removed from foods during processing to increase shelf life, so eat as much fresh food as possible.

Nutrition affects more than DHT levels in your scalp. Hair has an extremely active cell system. The cells in the hair bulb are second only to bone marrow in the frequency at which they generate themselves. Hair is actually simply hardened protein. This protein is formed from amino acids in the hair bulb. Thus, a shortage of amino acids will directly affect hair growth and characteristics by reducing the amount of quality of protein used to make hair.

Without amino acids, cells cannot maintain or repair themselves, nor will certain crucial enzymes and hormones be manufactured. Without sufficient amino acids, human hair color and texture can change dramatically. Protein deficiency, even short-term, results in dramatic changes in the hair roots. These changes include a reduction in hair diameter, slowed growth, and increased breakage under stress and strain, like brushing. A deficient diet can also cause atrophy of the bulb and loss of the inner root sheaths. Make sure that your avoidance of trans fatty acids doesn’t kill your protein intake!

The two most important amino acids for your hair health are L-Cysteine and L-Methionine. These two amino acids improve hair quality, texture, and growth. A primary source for both is MSM (Methyl sulphonyl methionine), which is found naturally in almost all plant derived foods, and is highly water soluble. Increasing your MSM intake in your diet merely requires you to increase your intake of raw, uncooked vegetables and plant materials. Increasing your MSM intake will have marked benefits on the strength, health and rate of growth of hair as well as a host of other metabolic functions where the amino acids cysteine and methionine are used.

Some basic Do’s and Don’ts:

* Eat fresh fish, whole grains, and increase essential fatty acids.

* Reduce trans fatty acids intake: avoid processed, deep fried and preserved foods.

* Make sure you have enough intake of vitamins and minerals.

* Increase fiber intake – stimulating your digestive tract helps your body deliver nutrients to your cells.

* Eat raw and uncooked vegetables to increase your MSM (Methyl sulphonyl methionine) levels.

* Make sure you’re eating enough protein.

Ultimately, your hair grown can be aided or aversely affected by what you eat. Nutrition and hair loss are intrinsically linked, and in the case of your hair, you really are what you eat!!
