What Is Your Hair Telling You? –
Tackling Disorders & Maintaining Healthy Hair
For most of us, hair is such an integral part of our overall appearance and daily lives. However, we often take it for granted until we see some distressing signs such as thinning, dullness or worse...bald patches. Some of the factors causing these issues may be poor nutrition as a result of our busy 21st century lifestyles, stress or just poor hair care.
Persons experiencing hair disorders are advised to visit a trichologist, which is someone who specialises in disorders of the hair and scalp. Their questions and inspection of the scalp and hair will often reveal what is causing hair worries. Noted trichologist and hair care professional, Karl Richmond, was kind enough to speak to Buzzz about some of the issues many of us face with our crowning glory.

Nutrition and Menopause
While everyone agrees that a well-balanced diet is important for good health, there is still much to be learned about what constitutes "well-balanced". At the very least, we do know that variety in the diet helps to ensure a better mix of essential nutrients.
Nutritional requirements vary from person to person and change with age. A healthy pre-menopausal woman should have about 1,000 mgs of calcium per day. A 1994 Consensus Conference at the National Institutes of Health recommended that women after menopause consume 1,500 mgs per day if they are not using hormonal replacement or 1,000 mgs per day in conjunction with hormonal replacement.

Choosing the Right Personal Trainer
There are many great and beneficial reasons for hiring a personal trainer, but there can also be hazardous and disheartening results if you do not choose the right one!
Nowadays, there are persons who feel that they are personal trainers on the basis of leading their own exercise team at home or at school, doing a one week course in fitness training or simply having a great body. The task of choosing a fitness trainer should not hinge on what they wear or the way they fit into a muscle shirt. That just does not cut it; you are putting yourself at risk!

Enter The ‘Stoveless’ Kitchen –
Raymond Tyndale Gives It To You Raw!
According to the popular saying, if you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. However, for raw/live food specialist and self-made food scientist Raymond Tyndale of Jamaica, completely avoiding heat and preparing excellent meals in the kitchen are two very compatible things.
Welcome to Tyndale’s “stoveless” kitchen, where his culinary modus operandi is intrinsically linked to his philosophy on nutrition and health. Here, you’ll find well-seasoned plant and fruit-based dishes all prepared at room temperature. The Rastafarian gastronome asserts that raw, uncooked food should be the only nourishment consumed by humans. For him, this is an unerring demand of nature, and the failure of humans to comply is one of the major causes of illnesses such as cancer and diabetes.
