Steady growth, shine, and elasticity are all important aspects of healthy, luscious locks! We all have different kinds of hair textures. Whether yours is curly, wavy, straight, flat, voluminous, thick, thin, coarse, or fine, your hair can be manageable and healthy! Healthy hair comes down to your overall and internal health! Healthy hair that has less to do with shampoos and conditioners and more to do with healthy foods and nutrients for your hair!</span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Eggs</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eggs are the go to food for scalp health and healthy hair. They are rich in many important nutrients. Specifically, eggs are rich in biotin, which is a B vitamin. You can take vitamin supplements, but it is best to maintain a healthy, nutrient dense diet for hair health. Eggs are easy to implement into your diet. Swap our your morning breakfast, for a delicious, savory omelette. </span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Salmon</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another great food for healthy hair is salmon. It is rich in a variety of B vitamins, specifically B6 and B12. These two vitamins are specifically involved with the creation of red blood cells, which carry nutrients all over the body, including the scalp and hair follicles. </span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Spinach</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Spinach is an amazing food. It is an excellent source of folate and iron. These nutrients work together to support healthy blood cells. The iron is important so that the red blood cells carry oxygen, allowing them to function properly.</span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sweet Potatoes</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sweet potatoes are another important food for healthy hair. This is because of the Vitamin A. Vitamin A is necessary for cell growth, which includes hair! Without vitamin A, hair tends to be dry, dull, and more prone to damage. Avoid supplements with vitamin A because too much vitamin A can actually cause hair loss. Maintain a healthy level of vitamin A by eating sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, dark green lettuces, and asparagus.</span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Implementing these nutrient dense foods into your diet will surely help you have healthy hair that is growth steadily and is more manageable. Of course, there are external ways to take care of your hair too. Here a few tips on external hair care:</span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don’t sleep with your hair in a bun. It causes damage to the hair around the elastic band.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Always use conditioner in the shower.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rinse your hair with cold water after you wash it. It will help lock in moisture and improve your hair’s elasticity.</span></li> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don’t shampoo your hair every day, it takes away the natural oils on your scalp that keep your hair healthy!</span></li> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To avoid tangling, comb your hair from the ends and work your way up to the roots.</span></li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For more tips on living a healthy life that is focused on whole health, contact me!

Still Hungry after a meal

<em>What to do if you are still feeling hungry after a meal…</em><br /> <em></em><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkOXRS1fauArCpYBeJW3XqUN-MVfSjKWrPHSXc05vb4O0eHxzZq5vA56UpWPiU0hwGGoukBhJrvJEs_0iqqNWUHXSfn-nrDe4gHQZCovaUoHdMfH5ReaAAdjqr-fmkMMTZFUwVSgtlaEhj/s1600/hungry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="hungry after meal, A fit nurse, Alyssa schomaker, food cravings, hungry, success, beachbody coach" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkOXRS1fauArCpYBeJW3XqUN-MVfSjKWrPHSXc05vb4O0eHxzZq5vA56UpWPiU0hwGGoukBhJrvJEs_0iqqNWUHXSfn-nrDe4gHQZCovaUoHdMfH5ReaAAdjqr-fmkMMTZFUwVSgtlaEhj/s640/hungry.jpg" title="" width="426" /></a></div> <br /> <em><br /></em>Have you ever felt hungry, but you know you’ve eaten enough already? And perhaps you eat more, but it doesn’t really satisfy you? In my experience, sometimes the signals that our body sends to our brain that we interpret as “hungry for food” are actually about finding the <em>correct</em> source of nourishment for that particular time. For example, sometimes I will still feel hungry after a lunch that at another time would leave me feeling quite satisfied. Chances are the answer isn’t about eating more food (although it could be), but one of these three solutions:<br /> <br /> <strong>1. You are dehydrated.</strong> In Western culture, so many of us are too disconnected from our feeling of thirst that we end up merging our thirst and hunger mechanism into the one sensation. They are different things.<br /> Solution? Have a glass of water. You may suddenly feel that “Aha! That’s what I was after.” All is well. This is not about ‘tricking’ your body into feeling full, this is assuming you’ve eaten enough, say, a nice decent bowl of oatmel, or an omelette, but you need something more.<br /> <br /> <strong>2. You are lacking nutrients.</strong><br /> For many of us, it takes focus to pack in enough green vegetables and fruits into our diet.<br /> <br /> Solution? For a powerful nutrient hit, try an all green juice. A nice sweet tasting green juice you can try is 1 bulb of fennel, 1 cucumber and a bunch of mint juiced. Serve over a few ice cubes, and you have a beautiful, nourishing drink. This is particularly great in the morning, as from the word go your body is being energized with pure, alkalizing goodness. Or my simple solution is Vegan <a href="http://myshakeology.com/alyssaschomaker" target="_blank">SHAKEOLOGY.</a> Chocolate goodness plus over 40 super foods! A nutritional powerhouse!<br /> <br /> <strong>3. You are in need of good fats.</strong><br /> Solution? Stir a teaspoon or two of organic coconut oil into a cup of green tea. Seriously, I know it sounds pretty messed up, but it works to make you feel completely satiated but in a nice way, not an over-stuffed way.<br /> <br /> I hope you find this useful in listening to what your body needs, and making sense of the different signals. Remember, your body is the bible it’s simply your job to listen to the messages it sends!<br />
