Totally Caring for Your Hair

(Newswire.net — May 23, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Flowing like Rapunzel or rocking a boy cut, thick or frizzy, blonde or brunette, everybody has their fancy but it can be agreed that hair should always be healthy. Shelling out top dollars for shampoos and the newest herbal extract products has become the norm for addressing hair care issues, it may seem like a wise investment but in the long run, it is truly in vain. Caring for hair is a job best done from the inside out. 

“The alkalinity of human blood tends around 7.4 (average change 7.38 to 7.42) hence experts advise against consumption of foods that can increase too significantly the acidity level of the body, scalp and therefore of the blood,” explains Norgil Capillary Expertise in Canada. “A pH level below 6.5 therefore leads to dandruff and itchy scalp as well as a risk of hair loss.” 

If the overall internal pH is too acidic, it negatively affects many areas of the body, in fact one’s hair and scalp health are the first regions to feel the squeeze. Follicles slow down strand production and sebaceous oils that should coat the shaft of hairs won’t be secreted in the appropriate volumes when the body’s internal pH is imbalanced. Lifestyle and diet planning are important to maintaining good health, particularly a balance of vitamins, proteins, carbs and minerals such as zinc and iron are required to keep hair and scalp thriving. 

“There are between 100,000 and 350,000 hair follicles on the human scalp,” informs BBC GoodFood. “Each follicle grows its hair for an average of 1000 days (three years) and then rests for a period of around 100 days (three months) before being shed and a new hair begins to grow. This pattern of active growth followed by the resting period varies significantly from person to person and is influenced by age, diet and our state of health.” 

How one chooses to eat will either help or hinder the internal pH levels of every organ, from skin to lungs to heart. Humans are truly a reflection of what they eat and the quality of one’s hair is a direct result of how well, or how not so well, the body is doing overall.  

“As more and more acid is accumulated, storage capacity is diminished, and the body’s ability to manage the accumulation falters, the body slowly begins to suffocate in its own acid waste,” explains ShapeFit.com. “By this time cellular metabolism has been severely compromised, enzymatic reactions fail to occur, nutrients are no longer available for repair and regeneration, wastes can no longer be removed. It plays an obvious role in liver and kidney disease while contributing to dementia, senility, Alzheimer’s, immune deficiencies, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, tooth loss, hair loss, hormonal imbalances, and prostate problems.” 

To avoid premature aging and hair loss, it’s best to know one’s body pH state to tackle whatever issues there may be head on and fast. With the availability of the HealthyWiser™ pH Test Strips for Saliva & Urine, it’s easy to do an assessment of one’s self  in comfort and confidence that the results will surely contribute to the establishment of a better lifestyle and fitness as well as hair health.
