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!

Make Attainable New Year's Resolutions

It’s fun to imagine the endless possibilities for the coming year, thinking about all the things you can do and all the plans you want to make. However, realistic resolutions are the key to success. Create attainable New Year’s resolutions, reach them, and then create a new goal. It is a cycle that leads to long-term success. </span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Why do attainable resolutions matter?</b></span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They matter because they’re attainable!</span></li> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are setting unrealistic goals for yourself, it is too easy to get discouraged when you don’t see appropriate progress toward your goals. This can diminish your drive for your resolution, even if you are bettering your life while working toward achieving it!</span></li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Build on your resolutions.</b></span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you set resolutions that are attainable and set goals that you can reach, you will be able to continually build on new goals throughout the new years. This will inspire and motivate continual growth toward your goals. You will find new inspiration and checking off a goal and being able to set a brand new one for the future.</span></li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>What are some examples of attainable, buildable resolutions?</b></span><br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weightloss</span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of saying, “In 2016, I am going to lose weight,” say, “By February 28th of 2016, I will have lost 10 pounds.” This resolution is trackable, attainable, and gives you a specific goal to reach! It is possible to lose 10 pounds in two months. With focus, a healthy diet, and regular exercise, you can achieve this resolution and set a new one! “Losing weight” is too ambiguous; without a clear, specific resolution it is hard to stay motivated.</span></li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fitness</span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I’m going to workout more in 2016.” Will you, though? You probably won’t with a resolution like that. Instead, make a resolution to “hit the gym three times each week” or “meet with a personal trainer twice a month to stay accountable for my fitness goals.” These examples of resolutions can be tracked and achieved routinely, so you can be proud that you are continually working and succeeding at your New Year’s resolutions.</span></li> </ul> <br /> <span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eating Healthy</span><br /> <br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A healthy lifestyle seems to be on everyone’s New Year’s Resolution list this year. Attain this resolution by having a plan to live a healthier life. Don’t wake up on January 1st and expect to change your lifestyle. Research how you want to live, how you will implement healthy choices into your life, and how to will succeed with healthy living in 2016. Having a plan for a healthy life is the only way to succeed.</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 extra motivation or coaching on fitness and healthy living, please <a href="http://www.afitnurse.com/">contact me</a>!
