You wake up and repairs hair that has the bed and the pillow? Gives another look down and see a few more wires? Take a deep breath and get help. One of the most common causes of hair loss is lack of iron in the body. This mineral is largely responsible for the sharp drop of the wires, the lack of it weakens our system and thus nails, hair and skin are most affected.

The medical specialty devoted to care is dermatology, make an appointment with the dermatologist on your preference, the doctor is likely to ask exams count, ferritin, iron seriously, and others to confirm the diagnosis. Then you will spend some medicine ferrous sulfate and will encourage you to improve your nutrition.

Some dermatologists say that to have healthy hair, ferritin should be around 70 mcg / L, others consider that the values ​​being between 10 and 80 mcg / L, which is an average of the values ​​of the laboratories, all is well. I confess that even with ferritin in 20 my hair fall too, with 50 already there to fall.

Remember that men and women are subject to low ferritin, but the fall in women may be more pronounced due to the menstrual flow, any bleeding is caused by ulcers, hemorrhoids or other illnesses can lower ferritin in anyone .

Many consider the low ferritin and iron deficiency anemia, you have the same symptoms of other anemias, tiredness, weakness, leg pain, very sleepy, and weak and brittle nails, hair loss and still shows pallor.

To increase its power and give a forcinha to your body, eat lots of dark leaves, as darker, more iron it contains, other good sources are beans, lentils, yams, prunes, figs, oats, liver animals and red meats in general.

Caring food is always a prevention method!

The cover story of the Journal Times this week brings a question that is always subject here on the blog: "Why are we getting fatter - and what to do to lose weight ? "
I love when the subject appears on the cover of magazines or on television, whether minor or reports cover story like this. I like because it draws people's attention and serves as a warning to this important question: Is the world getting heavier! That's right ... without mincing words that is what is happening, as Brazil went through a nutritional transition where malnutrition has led to obesity and various factors (social, economic, cultural, psychological and physiological) directly contribute to it.
Matter Magazine Era begins with a comparison of the health of a person and a lean and obese found this great way of showing that lean people are not always healthy just because they are normal weight, and the obese also can be with your exams days.
This is due to metabolic profile than some people might have where genetics may be favorable to the accumulation of fats in the blood, even though a thin person, like an obese may have genes that do not favor increased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, as was said on the matter.
It is very important to know that not only is the lifestyle and food choices that determine how healthy we are, but also genetics, to warn everyone about the importance of a healthier diet with natural products.
The lifestyle of the rich countries shows what happens to those who eat fast foods, processed products, and other fatty foods and the same is happening in developing countries like Brazil, where the population overweight or obese increased from 16% to 40% according to the Journal Times.
The danger lies in diseases due to excess weight, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, leading to risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Even low-income people with few resources even for food, are very overweight, since access to foods high in fats and simple carbohydrates is greater and the lack of guidance makes food choices are affected since childhood. Neither the northeast got out of it. According matter, obesity in this region grew 60% in four years, this due to the access to food and calories and low nutritional value.
This is an issue that can yield several posts and let me not stop to talk more because more than guide the best way to feed, gain muscle and get rid of "belly", my duty is to warn of the dangers that poor diet leads.
The importance of good nutrition goes beyond being always in shape with defined muscles and belly slap, and every time I have the chance and privilege to comment on stories like this to make, you readers are informed and aware on the subject, I will gladly give me this profession!

A few months ago I wrote an article about hydration explaining the correct way to hydrate before, during and after physical activity, in addition to its importance in the exercises.
However I am again writing about the subject, to enhance the readers the importance of water in our lives, because the heat is coming and this time we mainly pay attention to fluid intake.
Although water does not provide energy as carbohydrates , for example, it plays a key role in the formation of energy due to energy reactions that occur in their midst, so the great need of adequate water intake to maintain stamina and energy during physical activity.
The extra energy produced during exercise causes a warming body, raising the internal temperature. Transpiration is the method used by the body to get rid of that extra temperature. On hot summer days even more sweat and lose more water through sweat and if there is adequate hydration, dehydration that may occur among other symptoms, leads to a decrease in exercise performance and so we feel exhausted soon.
Dehydration symptoms can be observed earlier, however, depending on the degree of dehydration may occur serious consequences. Some of the milder signs of dehydration are fatigue, loss of appetite, flushed skin, heat intolerance, dizziness, dark urine with a strong odor, and dry cough.
As for the more severe signs may occur difficulty swallowing, lethargy, lack of coordination wrinkled skin, sunken eyes and blurred vision, painful urination, numb skin, muscle spasm and even delirium.
Staying hydrated not only requires water intake, but also can consume fruits and vegetables which contain about 75% to 90% water in its composition to be absorbed during digestion. Juices, tea, milk and sports drinks are also good ways to maintain adequate hydration, but all this is not enough to keep the body hydrated. It is necessary to drink 8-10 glasses of pure water a day and even more to replace fluids lost in exercise.
Water can even help keep us slim, indirectly of course. Because the kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the body, require a certain amount of water and failing, liver ends up "helping" the kidneys to perform this filtering, but the liver is responsible (among many other functions) by mobilize fat reserves for energy and if he needs to perform extra functions, it will not perform its task of burning fat properly, therefore, fat burning is compromised.
This is just one more of various qualities of water, its importance goes much further, but I leave here just a reminder (even as an alert) so that this summer you abuse of water and liquids, such as coconut water, for example, to refresh and moisturize excellent on hot days.
Enjoy that summer is near, with enough health and mood!!

Women are the main target of cosmetic companies, cosmetic clinics and even food industries that develop entire lines of products aimed only will they. However, the interest for male care looks have attracted the attention of industry professionals and the health and aesthetics.
In practice I have patients seeking men guidelines that go beyond maintaining weight or gaining muscle mass. Today they are also concerned with both the aesthetic seeking another ally in power to look good and one of the biggest concerns is the vanity of these men skin care.
Acne is still one of the great villains, which if not prevented and combated, can leave marks on the skin difficult to erase. It is the result of an increase in sebum secretion associated with obstruction of the pilosebaceous follicle opening generating spikes which through proliferation of microorganisms, result in the characteristic inflammation of acne.
There are four degrees of severity of acne and the most affected areas are the face and the anterior and posterior thorax. Its highest peak incidence occurs between 16 and 19 years in boys and among its causes have heredity, hormonal activity triggered at puberty, sebaceous gland hyperactivity and bacterial irritation.

The feed can contribute to an improvement in acne in milder degrees and also in preventing them through the consumption of foods rich in minerals and vitamins, plus adequate intake of water and liquids daily.
Consuming foods rich in vitamin C, A and B complex can help fight pimples, check the function of each nutrient:

• Vitamin A: reduces sebum production.
• Vitamin C: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
• Vitamin B2: controls oiliness of the skin.
• Vitamin B6 regulates the hormone metabolism.
• Vitamin B5: acts in the metabolism of fatty acids and sex hormones.
• Fibers: eliminate toxins
• Chlorophyll: detoxifying

The minerals also play an important role in this battle:

• Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium: maintain the balance of the Blood
• Sulfur: healing
• Selenium: Antioxidant + vit E
• Manganese: anti-inflammatory action.
• Zinc: healing and tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory action.
• Dairy: low fat - decrease the fat elimination pores

The green tea is also a good antioxidant that repels the bacteria that cause pimples and reduces inflammation and can be consumed 4-5 cups per day, hot or iced.
Avoid fatty foods like fried foods, snack foods and also sweets in general, is another important guideline to follow.
There are many treatments for acne and currently aesthetic clinics are well equipped to do this type of treatment, including the male audience that is gaining more and more space within these beauty centers. So much worth the worth knowing what methods exist to combat this evil.
Diet is another factor that will need attention in combating acne and should always be considered along with treatment, so always look for a specialist to better guide you.
