Send us Fan MailWe are going to take a journey that I call“Top of your head to the tip of your toes Did you know” Journey.I will share some of the many things I found about our bodies that at one time or another really stuck with me, and have made me stop and appreciate what a miracle our body is. Every part of us was built for a specific reason, not one thing on us or in us goes to waste, and there isn’t a part of us that doesn’t have a very hard and taxing job.Alright, let’s start this journey with hair.First- is your HAIRI think it is safe to say that most of us have a love hate relationship with our hair which is why we panic the minute we see large amounts of our hair in the shower and on our combs and brushes. BUT, before you sound the alarm, you should know that most of us naturally lose about 50- 100 hairs every day, and it’s absolutely normal.Hair is everywhere we look, it’s on the floor, on us , on the couch, the counters, its everywhere. It sounds like a lot of hair loss until you realize you have around 100,000 hair follicles on your scalp, so losing a few dozen hairs daily is nothing at all. Your hair is constantly growing, resting and shedding as part of its natural cycle.That your hair is actually at its weakest when its wet, and it is strongest when it is dry?Water causes each strand of hair to swell- making it more elastic and easier to stretch farther than normal, which means it’s also easier to break.Wet hair stretches and breaks a lot easier than dry, so be very gentle with your wet hair.Honestly, whenever possible It’s best to let your hair air dry naturally before combing it- if you can’t wait for a natural air dry then please use a wide-tooth comb this works through the tangles instead of forcing a brush through your wet hair.This is important.. hair is one of the first places our bodies gives us a clue that something is out of balance.If you notice that you are losing/shedding hair more than usual your body may be trying to tell you that something has changed. Increased shedding can sometimes happen after a significant illness, major stress event, rapid weight loss, hormonal changes, certain medications, or maybe you are not getting enough protein or iron.Aging Mask takeaway..Healthy hair starts from the inside out.Feed your body with enough protein, iron, zinc, healthy fats, daily movement, good sleep, and good stress management. Be gentle with wet hair.And if you start losing more than 100 hairs a day-please don’t ignore it- maybe, your hair is telling you to take a hard look at what’s happening inside your body.Eye LashesEye lashes. The envy of many.The are one of the first things we notice, long, full eye lashes are so desirable that there is an entire industry built around making eye lashes long and full. We have extensions, lifts, mascara, and serums.The funny thing is.. eyelashes were not made to be admired.. they were designed to protect us.They are the first line of defense against dust, dirt, pollen, teeny tiny insects, and other particles that can get in and irritate your eyes. Eyelashes trigger the blink reflex when something gets too close giving your eyes an extra layer of protection.Just like the hair on your head, eyelashes have their own life cycle of growth, rest and shedding, and because they are on different schedules you don’t lose them all at once.Each eye lash typically lives about 4-11 months before it naturally falls out and is replaced by a new one. Aging Mask takeaway.. if you are spending a small fortune on eyelash products , castor oil may be worth trying. Its inexpensive, and it conditions your lashes and your brows making them look healthier and fuller.Remember I am not an ophthalmologist, so if you have an eye condition, or your eyes are sensitive, check with your eye doctor before using anything in or around your eyes.Nose-Let’s travel down to the nose. We don’t really appreciate our noses.Every breath you take passes through your nose, where the air is filtered, warmed and humidified before it ever reaches your lungs.And while our human sense of smell is pretty amazing, it is still no match for a dog’s. It is estimated that humans have around 5-6 million scent receptors, while a lot of dogs have close to 300 million.And depending on the breed, a dog's sense of smell is 10k-100k times more sensitive than ours.Did you know that your nose doesn’t actually use both nostrils equally all day long. Instead, it follows something called the nasal cycle. Every few hours, one of your nostrils becomes slightly more open while the other becomes a little more congested- then they switch- turns every couple of hours.And then theMucus.Your nose and sinuses produce about 1 to 2 quarts of mucus every day. That’s equivalent to a standard 32-ounce carton of milk every single day, that to me is mind blowing- we don’t even notice it as Most of it drains down the back of your throat, and you swallow it...
