See Why It's Important to Protect Your Hair from Air Pollution

The bad news: Pollution can take a major toll on your tresses. The good news: There are easy ways to protect your hair and undo the damage.


Thanks to new research, it's becoming widely understood that pollution can do major damage to your skin, but most people don't realize that the same also goes for your scalp and hair. "The skin and hair are the first things exposed to pollution, but skin often has the advantage of being protected by lotions, creams, or other treatments," explains Susanna Romano, partner and stylist at Salon AKS in New York City.
Particulate matter (minuscule bits of soot, dust, and other grime), smoke, and gaseous pollutants can all settle on both the hair and scalp, causing irritation and damage, she adds. That can manifest in any number of ways, ranging from dryness to breakage to an itchy scalp. And while city-dwellers who live in highly-polluted areas are obviously at higher risk, your hair is susceptible to the damaging aggressors anytime you're outdoors, whether it's during your commute or an outdoor workout. Luckily, there are easy things you can do to protect your hair.

1. Try Anti-Pollution Hair Care

As is the case with skin care, hair companies are now creating anti-pollution products that help remove and repel all those nasty pollutants more effectively. While the exact ingredients used for this purpose vary, antioxidant-rich botanicals are common. Both the new Kérastase Specifique Masque Hydra-Apiasant ($65; kerastase-usa.com) and the Shu Uemura Urban Moisture Hydro-Nourishing Shampoo ($48; shuuemuraartofhair-usa.com) contain moringa, a purifying extract that removes pollutants and counteracts free radical damage caused by pollution. The Nexxus City Shield Conditioner ($18; nexxus.com) uses Indian Lotus Flower (known for its ability to resist dust and humidity) in a phyto-protein complex that creates a barrier on the hair, locking out both city grime and, bonus, frizz-inducing humidity.

2. Choose Stylers Wisely

"Heavy products like mousses, gels, and thickening creams can actually attract more pollution particles to the hair," cautions Romano. If you live in a highly-polluted area, consider ditching these from your routine and swapping them for one, lightweight multi-tasking product. One to try: Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray ($28; sephora.com), which smooths, strengthens, and enhances shine.

3. Minimize How Often You Shampoo

It may sound counterintuitive (after all, washing is the best way to get rid of dirt, right?), but over-sudsing can do more harm than good. Exposure to pollution (and UV rays, too) dries out the hair, and excessive shampooing can only exacerbate the situation. Go as long as you can in between washes, ideally shampooing no more frequently than every other day. But if you're the kind of girl who HAS to wash her hair every day (trust us, we get it), lather up just at the roots, since the ends tend to be the driest and most damaged to begin with, advises Romano. You can also dilute your shampoo with water, or, even better, hydrating coconut water, she adds; this instantly makes it gentler and less stripping.

4. Be Careful When Brushing and Styling

If it seems like all of a sudden there's way more hair stuck in your brush, pollution may be to blame: "Smoky, polluted air weakens the lengths of the hair, making it brittle and more susceptible to breakage and split ends," points out Romano. The bottom line: Be extra gentle when styling. Always start combing from the bottom of your hair, up (and be sure to avoid these other hair brushing mistakes). Damaging heat from your blow-dryer or flat iron also aren't going to do your strands any favors. Romano suggests using the nozzle attachment on your dryer to help minimize heat exposure, and keeping irons and curlers no higher than 360 degrees (if you have fine hair) or 410 degrees (if you have thick hair).

5. Add Back Hydration

When in doubt, hydrate—it's a good rule for your health and your hair. Pollution and other environmental aggressors dry out your strands, and a moisturizing mask is the best way to counteract this, fast. (Romano recommends that anyone who lives in a city use one at least weekly.) Choose a moisturizing or reparative formula; jojoba oil is one good ingredient to look for, as it both moisturizes and strengthens the hair's natural hydro-lipid layer, which coats the hair to help keep it hydrated. Find it in: Phyto Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Brilliance Mask ($45; sephora.com). To maximize the results, wrap your hair in a towel that's been dipped in hot water (and wrung out) after applying the mask. This essentially acts as a steam treatment, helping to open the hair cuticle so that all the beneficial ingredients in the mask can better penetrate, explains Romano.

NIGERIAN SURGEON REMOVES WORLD’S LARGEST FIBROID TUMOUR.

A Lagos hospital has successfully removed the world’s largest fibroid tumour
from a patient.

An independent laboratory has confirmed the tumour weighed 26 kilogrammes,
double the size removed by Indian doctors around the same time last year.
The medical team at SAFEHANDS HOSPITAL, Old Ojo Road, Lagos, led by the
Director of Anaesthesia, Emergency and Family Medicine, Dr INNOCENT OKOAWO.
removed the tumour from a 37-year-old Nigerian woman, Abimbola Esther
Akinade.
The three-hour long surgery was performed in February 2014, two months
before doctors in the south Indian city of Chennai performed a similar surgery to
remove a 13.6kg fibroid tumour from a 52-year-old woman simply called Latha.
Until now, the Indian doctors were known to have the record for removing the
largest fibroid tumour.
Dr Okoawo told Africa Newesday, that an independent confirmation of the size of
the tumour he successfully removed prompted him to seek to correct the record.
Seramoses Diagnostics, also based in Lagos, confirmed the tumour weighed
26kg and was 31cm in diameter.
Additionally, 32 other smaller fibroids were removed.
Speaking to Africa Newsday in a telephone interview, the patient, Miss Akinade,
said: “It was a real miracle.”
She released he had a fibroid tumour seven years earlier, while she was a trainee
nurse. Nothing could be done sooner because of her inability to pay the cost of
surgery and her dreading of surgery.
“I was under a lot of pressure,” she said. “My menstrual periods were very
irregular, sometimes delayed for 10 days. I suffered from fatigue a lot.”
Miss Akinade ruefully said: “Sometimes people who thought I was pregnant
would say ‘I hope you will deliver safely’ and that made me furious.”
“It was not easy,” she said. Even a doctor in the hospital where she was a
trainee nurse told her no hospital would be able to carry out a successful
surgery.
In an emailed comment, Dr Okoawo noted: “The double icing on the cake is the
fact that she received no transfusion and her uterus was not removed even
when we removed 32 additional smaller fibroid s.”
The patient, Miss Akinade, opted for bloodless surgery on religious grounds,
however, increasing reports show that bloodless surgery has led to quicker
recovery of patients and as a result has become more popular. Fear of infection
and the desire to contain the cost of treatment are other reasons some opt for
bloodless surgery.
He told African in a telephone interview that Miss Akinade is now fully
recovered and her current photographs demonstrate the major transformation
she has gone through after the surgery.
Miss Akinade said on telephone: “Now I am sound.” She currently lives in Ijoko
area of Otta, Ogun State, near Lagos, where she is currently a trader and
spends time in the ministry, preaching the good news of the Bible.
(THATS MY CHRISTAIN BROTHER, MY DOCTOR AND MY FRIEND....may Jehovah bless all ur efforts in helping to offer medical cure without violating Gods principles on Blood.)

CLEAN WATER.....A HEALTHY DRINK FOR EVERY OCCASION

CLEAN WATER

A HEALTHY DRINK FOR EVERY OCCASION

Water is consumed daily by everyone, either orally or through the skin (by showering/bathing, swimming, etc) clean water is an essential nutrient, the basis of fluid of all living organisms, and very necessary for life. When we talk about achieving optimum health, clean water consumption should be the top of the list for “most important” health factors. After all, water forms averagely 70% of the composition of the human body.

We all know that it is important to drink plenty of safe, clean water. Most people understand the feeling of not getting enough water; there’s usually a dizzy, sluggish and light-headed sensation from being dehydrated. Many common health problems can be avoided by simply drinking more water.  Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water helps to flush out wastes from our bodies. Water is a transport medium for the nutrient that our bodies need. Body temperature is regulated by the amount of available water in our bodies. Water also regulates the pH balance and supports a multitude of physiological processes. Being well hydrated elevates our energy levels and can help alleviate headaches. Water helps the cells in your body to absorb nutrients and expel waste products. Other not –so-well-known advantages of drinking clean water regularly include:

1.       Refreshing youthful looks: drinking plenty of water keeps your skin moisturized and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

2.       Muscle building: another benefit of drinking water is that it makes your muscles stronger, because water carries oxygen to the cells of your body, including the muscles. Drinking plenty of water enables your muscles to work harder and longer before they feel tired, and this can help you build muscle.

3.       Speedy and more effective weight loss: drinking water also helps your body burn stored fat. If you’re not drinking enough water, your liver will be forced to help your kidney detoxify your body, therefore reducing  the rate of metabolism in your body, water also suppresses your appetite, so you don’t eat as much

4.       Flexible joints: one of the lesser known benefits of drinking water is that it helps keep your joint strong, healthy and lubricated. Your joints need moisture in order to remain strong and flexible, so that your movements are smooth and painless.

5.       Smarter cognition: clean water in your system can increase your cognitive function. Your brain needs a lot of oxygen to function at optimum levels. Drinking a lot of water ensures your brain gets all the oxygen it needs. Water also supports nerve function by ensuring that your nerves relays messages to  and from the brain in the way they are meant to.

Severe dehydration causes a multitude of health problems, not the lease of  which are fatigue, depression, diabetes, high  blood pressure, weakness and loss of energy. When you feel thirsty, it is infinitely healthier to drink water, rather than juice, carbonated drinks or other beverages. Clean or safe water, simple put, is water that is already for human consumption. This means the water is free of germs, is colorless and odorless. Simple techniques for water purification includes, chlorination, filtering and solar disinfection.

There’s   always plenty of clean water around, no matter the occasion. So, take advantage of it; drink lots of water every day and stay healthy!
