Healthy Diet
Food can be one of your best friends or one of your worst enemies. An article published in August 2015 in the journal Stress suggested that the amount and quality of nutrients you take in over time can impact the body’s neural circuits that control emotion, motivation, and mood.
We list our top 10 of healthy beneficial foods that can help to boost your mood and reduce your stress levels:
Herbal Teas
Dark Chocolate
Avocados
Whole grains
Fish
Hot milk
Nuts
Citrus fruits and Strawberries
Probiotics
Foods that are high in Fibre
Exercise
Get those feel good endorphins released directly from exercise to help lift your mood and calm anxiety.
Identify Stress
Pinpoint what is making you feel stressed. Write down a list of triggers and try taking baby steps to help prevent them occurring.
Avoid Hair Styles that pull on the hair
Hair extensions, tight braids, and even ponytails can all pull and put strain on the hair follicle. Over the constant tension can create thinning or balding areas to the scalp.
Avoid high heat styling tools
Try to reduce the use of hair dryers, hair straighteners, and curling tongs. Intense heat can leave your hair follicle dehydrated and venerable to damage.
Chemical Products
Use mild natural shampoos. Try to avoid harsh chemical based ingredients. The aim of a shampoo is to gently cleanse your hair from excess oils and dirt.
Reduce Bleaching and Chemically treating your hair
Constant bleaching and chemically treating your hair over time will cause irrevocable damage to the hair follicles.
Use a soft natural brush made with natural fibres
Brushing your hair on a daily basis with a natural fibered brush will help to promote healthy levels of sebum (oil) in your hair. Brushing from the top through to the ends will smooth and condition your hair cuticle.
