You used to have a long mane, a full head of curls or a big quiff. But now your hair is thin and lifeless. Recognizable? Hopefully not. Yet for many the reality, and that is annoying. When the hair starts to thin it can make you very unhappy. Unfortunately, there are no miracles for a youthful head of hair, but there are a number of ways to ensure that you maintain healthy hair growth and prevent hair loss.

Hair growth cycle

An average person with healthy hair has one hundred thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand hairs on his or her head. Each month these hairs grow about an inch in length. The growth cycle of such a hair consists of three phases and lasts about three years. There is the so-called anagen phase (the growth phase), the catogenic phase (transition phase) and the telogen phase (resting phase). Fortunately, not all hair enters the same phase at the same time, otherwise everyone would be completely bald for a while until the cycle starts again.

Tips against hair loss and for healthy hair growth

Hair loss is often a matter of hereditary hair loss. This is separate from healthy hair growth and can therefore even occur if you take good care of your hair. However, you can prevent hair loss due to bad care with our tips!

• Try not to damage the scalp. Watch out with blow drying, combing, and other activities that can damage the scalp.
• Provides a varied diet in which all nutrients are covered. Also, make sure to drink enough water to keep your body hydrated.
• Exercise is good for health. It is good for blood flow, is good for stress and for the general health of your body. And so also your hair.
• Watch out with tight rubber bands. Rubber bands that are used, for example, to make a braid or bun can put pressure on the hair roots. This can even cause the hair roots to fall out.
• Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are bad for the whole body and especially for her. So be aware of the consequences of smoking and alcohol.
• Take good care of her. The above points of course have to do with this, but it is also important to use the right care products for your type of hair.

By eating the right and right way, your body will experience many benefits. It will help you avoid illness, weight gain, or cholesterol problems. But that's not the only benefit, because it can also improve your concentration and memory. Therefore, we recommend that you eat the following foods at least once a week. They will keep the brain functioning in perfect condition.

Pasta

A plate of pasta (not too full) can be the ideal lunch at the office. When you return to your desk, you will have enough strength to continue your work. After all, pasta contains complex carbohydrates that provide glucose in the brain. As a result, your cognitive functions will work better. Don't eat too much pasta. Also be economical with sauces and ground cheese. A small plate is sufficient. The rest of the meal can then consist of fruits and vegetables. This way you can avoid that typical heavy feeling, because otherwise the only thing you want to do after lunch is a nap.

Blueberries

It's unbelievable that these little fruits have so many positive effects. Blueberries contain a large amount of antioxidants that activate the enzymes in the brain. So they support your memory and your concentration. Eat half a cup of this tasty fruit mixed with yogurt. You can eat it as a snack. Enjoy the beneficial effects of both the blueberries and the yogurt.

Bananas

Bananas are tasty and satisfying fruits. You can use them in hundreds of recipes. They are high in potassium, vitamin C, magnesium and fiber. Because of these ingredients, they are the perfect nutrient for brain functions (especially for memory). They also contain vitamin B6. This aids in the production of various neurotransmitters related to concentration (dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin).

Chicken

The brain needs enough protein to be able to concentrate. Once the protein is absorbed, the body releases an amino acid called tyrosine. This amino acid combines the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. This helps us to think faster and more clearly. Chicken contains proteins of an excellent quality. Eat it grilled, baked, or smoked. Try to eat it two or three times a week.

Chocolate

Eat a small piece of chocolate before you start studying for an exam or before you have to do a difficult report. You will notice that you get better results. It is important that the chocolate contains as much cocoa as possible . Only then will it be effective. This ingredient has the ability to stimulate the nervous system. It ensures the secretion of endorphins (which is why we feel good after eating chocolate) and saturates the appetite. In addition, it reduces your anxiety. And best of all, it does all of the previous things while improving your memory and concentration at the same time.

The advantage of the supplements discussed in this article is that they can be used indefinitely (in moderation) and are only natural supplements. No, a powerful man only uses natural testosterone-enhancing supplements, if he is taking it at all. Over the years I have experimented with different supplements and immersed myself in them.

Use it sensibly and if necessary, consult a doctor if you are going to start on one or more of these supplements. Just because it is natural and freely available does not mean it is safe for everyone .

Ginger

We take too little ginger. While this ridiculously inexpensive herb offers numerous health benefits. Ginger is anti-inflammatory, Testosterone levels are increased naturally, Has a very positive effect on the intestinal flora, Cleanses your body, Protects against Alzheimer's disease, Protects against certain cancers, Improves blood circulation, Etc.

Creatine

I can be very short and sweet about creatine : it increases the production of energy in your cells. Simply taken, creatine, even without exercising, has a testosterone-increasing effect. In addition, it offers you benefits in the gym. Muscle building and strength gain will accelerate. 

L-Arginine

In this study, it can be seen that positive influence of L-Arginine has on the testosterone levels  and libido. It can even cure erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. In addition, there is a better blood circulation by taking L-Arginine. A very simple yet powerful amino acid that you absolutely want to take. As with Ashwaganda, I would strongly advise you not to take the cheaper powder form of L-Arginine, but capsules .

Pomegranate

This is not so much a supplement, but you can buy pomegranate in the supermarket as a fruit or juice. Drinking pomegranate juice has the effect that it can increase your testosterone by up to 24%! Besides that nice side effect, pomegranate has a cleansing effect (especially for your penis), it improves blood circulation while lowering your blood pressure.

L-Carnithine

It does not belong to the direct testosterone enhancing supplements, but indirectly L-Carnithine does make the body  more sensitive to the production of testosterone. In other words, make sure you do other activities that will make you produce testosterone anyway and L-Carnithine will then strengthen this.
