Emu Oil For Hair Loss

By David O’Brocki

The potential health benefits of Emu oil are many. It can be used to treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, arthritis, strech marks, burns, wrinkles, hair and scalp disorders and much more.

In this article, I will explain how emu oil can help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

First lets cover some basic concepts relating to hair loss. The main cause of hair loss (over 90%) is Androgenetic Alopecia which is caused by DHT (a derivative of testosterone). Please note that women also produce testosterone (especially after menopause) and therefore DHT.

Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is produced in the prostate, the scalp and various adrenal glands. Over time, DHT causes hair follicles to degrade and shortens their growth cycle (anagen phase). In most cases, the hair follicle is still alive and connected to a good blood supply. Some of the follicles will die, but most will simply shrink in size and produce weaker hairs. This is really the biggest problem with having a shorter growth cycle. Since the hairs are weaker, they shed more and the remaining hairs become so thin that they cannot survive daily wear and tear. Basically, the hairs in balding areas gradually change from long, thick, colored hairs into fine, unpigmented, fuzzy hairs.

Emu oil prevents hair loss in two specific ways:

1. Emu Oil Blocks DHT-

When DHT attaches itself to the hair follicle, it begins to kill it. There are certain natural products that have the ability to block or “keep” the DHT from attaching to the hair follicle. If the DHT cannot attach to the hair follicle, it cannot kill it.

2. Promotes New Hair Growth

Emu oil has “awakening” effects on the hair follicles affected by DHT. Emu oil is an all-natural tissue nutrient and by applying to the scalp, it helps it become healthy and alive again. According to clinical studies in Australia and the U.S. emu oil is an excellent anti-inflamatory agent that can rejuvenate skin cells and produce healthy hair growth.

In one of this studies the participants were asked to apply emu oil to their scalps on the daily basis. Each month the participants recorded the amount of hair on their heads using a visual analogue scale. The results were extremely encouraging with participants seeing an average regrowth of 8.1% of their hair per month, and an average of 48.4% regrowth over the full study period of six months.

One of the most important findings, is that Emu Oil was able to promote “frontal regrowth” which is much more difficult to attain than regrowth in the crown. Even Rogaine and Propecia which are the only FDA approved products for hair loss, have shown no effect in promoting frontal hair regrowth. Plus emu oil is completely natural, has no harmful side effects. Emu oil has no potential for irritation of the skin and scalp. It is shown to have no side effects, and this means that even at full strength, emu oil has irritation levels so low that they are the same as those found in putting water on the skin, in other words, nonexistent. Emu oil is an excellent natural remedy for hair loss that is safe and inexpensive.

Fight The Flab: Lose Your Body Fat Fast

By Alan Moore

Wee early in the morning, you are looking at the billboards on your way to work. Not so many fat people on them are there? For most people, shedding excess fat is not easy. It takes commitment, motivation, and lots of hard work. One of the hardest parts about attempting to rid your body of the unsightly fat rolls is actually finding a healthy plan to help you do so.

Though you might not realize it, there is a definite difference between losing weight and losing fat. Losing weight refers to dropping physical poundage, whereas fat loss is actually a reference to the reduction of some of the stores of fat which might well be situated on your tummy, thighs, butt, and arms. Blasting your body fat will make you feel much healthier, look much better, and dramatically increase your confidence.

Here are some strategies designed to help you lose body fat fast:

Increase Your Protein Intake

Increasing your protein intake is almost synonymous with decreasing your carbohydrate intake. Protein breaks down into amino acids, which help you build muscle mass, and in the process, more energy is burned processing it. This means a double whammy for your body; you reduce your fat reserves, and tone your muscles at the same time. Eat leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits, lean meats, and poultry for optimal results. Complex carbohydrates are fine in moderation and will actually provide your body with a great source of fiber. Complex carbohydrates include: Cereal, brown rice, and some pastas. Just be sure to exclude starchy carbohydrates and high-fat foods, and you will be on your way to losing some serious fat cells.

Exercise

It sounds boring, but long-duration, low-intensity exercise really does burn fat – and quickly! Aerobic activity is by far the best kind to do. Walking is especially good because it’s easy to do, and most people can walk for quite some time without getting tired. It also spares the all-important muscle mass, which is particularly important if you are not a big protein eater. If you walk at a constant speed on the treadmill, not only will you burn general fat, but you will also tone your butt muscles at the same time, as an added bonus!

Drink More Water

Drinking 6 -8 glasses of drinking water each day will not only decrease your appetite; it will also flush out waste products and toxins from your body. If you replace your usual soda drink with water, you will drastically reduce your sugar intake. Diet soda, though it contains no actual sugar, has been found to carry harmful chemicals which can negatively impact your attempt to burn fat.

Take Time Out between Servings

You might not realize that it takes around 20 minutes after you have eaten for your body to register that it’s full. That horrible bloated feeling that comes from having eaten too much is a direct result of unintentional overeating. If you can eat your food and wait 20 minutes to decide whether or not you are sated before ordering the next course, you will prevent unnecessary food entering your body, eventually being stored as fat.

Losing fat will make you feel great about your body, enhance your confidence, and also allow you to show off some of the buff muscles you have built during your time at the gym!
