hair loss

Posted on : 31-05-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

When i’m stressed, I notice that I lose my hair quite easily. It’s kind of scary to find a large clump of your hair leftover in the shower. Thankfully, this only happens when I am stressed.

The downside and why I mention it is that I am pretty stressed now. I am aiming for an “A” in my introductory programming class. My class load is fairly hefty. Because of the stress, I am losing a little hair. I am currently on the lookout for a more natural cure for hair loss. I would like to find something organic in nature as a remedy for this.

Any suggestions?

Acne is a common problem amongst teens and adults today. So, it seems that we are always looking for the best acne treatment. Whether that be in the form of a highly advertised treatment, a generic brand or an organic treatment, we constantly search for answers on how to best take care of an acne breakout.

What do you use to treat your acne?

Diet pill reviews

Posted on : 20-05-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

Do you use diet pills?  Do you review the latest products that are available on the market? Have you read the apidexin reviews?

As far as I know, Alli is the only FDA approved diet drug out there. Everything else is a take-at-your own risk. So be sure to do your research and consult your doctor before taking any diet pills. Remember to see if you can find a mix of reviews (caution against only reading the good reviews).

Make your health your first priority! :)

The newest form of acne treatment

Ever have acne issues after you have had a baby? I think it’s common. It’s because our hormones are changing from pregnancy hormones to normal ones. Though it is completely normal it can be completely frustrating. I mean, were moms now… not teenagers, right?

I recently read up on a new acne procedure called blue light therapy. It involves a blue light laser that gently kills the bacteria on your face. It is completely devoid of harmful Ultra Violet (UV) rays and so it won’t damage your skin or cause age-lines.

Contact your doctor for more details! :)

Losing weight and gaining years

Posted on : 27-04-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health, Weighty Matters

I am not one for finding literature and such on how to lose weight fast. In my mind, there is no fast way to lose weight. Even if you lose it fast, you have to develop the skills to maintain it.

There is a lot more to weight loss than just losing weight. There is a process behind it that involves everything from your emotions to making changes in your daily life. But I will tell you one thing. If you start now, you won’t regret it. Because this time next year you will be that much further ahead! :)

The importance of having a clean colon

Posted on : 24-03-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

I’m not a doctor. But I do know that I want to stay around for my children as long as possible. That is why, I am taking the necessary steps to take care of my body now instead of the proverbial later. Because the fact of the matter is, we don’t know how much longer we will be blessed with. Tomorrows are always a gift.

Because of that notion, I have made it my mission to get regular colon and body cleanses. It helps get rid of free radicals and also helps to prevent cancer. Any kind of prevention when it comes to your health is a good thing!

Health insurance woes

Posted on : 03-03-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

Goodness gracious, I wish we could find cheap insurance. Not just cheap insurance as in you-get-what-you-pay for insurance that isn’t that great, but cheap as in affordable.

When I priced up insurance for my family of five, I was told that we would pay $500 monthly.  It wasn’t a creme-de-la-creme sort of plan, just a basic one that covered basic expenses like well-child visits and sick visits.  Stuff like that.

Insurance is so expensive right now.  I have tried to pay as I go, and the price is almost outrageous for a doctor’s visit!  My doctor charges $120 per visit.  So, I feel like i’m stuck up a creek without a paddle.

What do you do for health insurance?  Is it affordable or not-so-much?

Losing weight is hard for moms

Posted on : 21-02-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health, My Disorganized Life

The hardest, most challenging and also rewarding thing that I am embarking on right now (aside from parenting and college), is the journey to lose weight.

I have been heavy most of my life. I have had a few spots here and there where I haven’t been heavy and also one successful stint in Onederland (165 baby!).

However, after becoming a parent, it seemed that the minute I thought about losing weight, I would get pregnant again. Or, I would still have a newborn at home. And believe me, it’s really hard to even think about losing weight when you are getting up for middle-of-the-night feedings!

When you are a mom, your life just isn’t your own. Especially when your children are younger. While I cherish my babies, sometimes at the end of the day, I feel physically and emotionally exhausted. Raising children is hard work — although very rewarding!

At one point I had thought about taking herbal diet pills or some sort of supplement to lose weight. Because I felt that I needed something to give me an edge.

Now, I make time for myself. I joined a gym that has daycare. And having a gym membership (especially one that offers childcare), is so important! I don’t feel guilty for taking an hour to myself and the kids have a change of pace!

If you are a mom, what do you think the most challenging thing about losing weight is?

Prevent cancer

Posted on : 19-02-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

In our society today, we are plagued with new illness and ailments. New kinds of cancers pop up everyday. Besides eating and exercising, one of the ways that we can help prevent cancer is to get our colon cleansed. They have devices called colon cleansing pills that can help cleanse the colon safely and naturally. But make sure you do your homework and talk to your doctor before taking any kind of medicine (over the counter or prescription).

When in doubt supplement

Sometimes, when you are losing weight or in the process of a weight loss journey, you need a little help — a little pick me up if you will. There are times, when losing weight can involve a lot of different elements; mood level, hormones, eating habits, exercising habits and sleep habits. It encompasses everything including your environment and the people you surround yourself with.

Sometimes, people need help and for that help they turn to some kind of a diet supplement. These “helpers” can boost your metabolism or give you the vitamins you may be missing in your current diet.

Not sure if you guys heard about the Kevin Smith vs. Southwest Airlines debacle, but apparently, Mr. Smith was taken off an airplane because he was “a safety hazard” and the fact that he didn’t buy up two seats is a “health issue”. The thing is, he had both arms down on the seat, which by Southwest standards is supposed to mean that *You fit into the seat and so therefore do not have to buy two tickets*. I don’t know about you, but i’m with Kevin Smith on this one.

Speaking of health issues, I was looking at eczema pictures the other day. I have researched photos and cures for eczema. It looks like a very painful skin disease.

What do you think about the Kevin Smith thing…or eczema for that matter?

My poor baby

My poor little man has had a rough week. First, he sprained his ankle by doing an awkward Michael Jackson spin move in our living room (he was playing with the older kids at the time), and then he gets pink eye, and now he has some weird rash. I’m a little afraid that it is eczema. So back to the doctor’s office we go. I have seen the inside of his office so many times this week, I feel like we’re in danger of becoming best friends.

I was shopping in Walgreen’s the other night and came across the diet food/supplements/etc. area. I noticed some fast weight loss pills being promoted with Jillian Michael’s picture on them. The were fat-burners and promoted to be all natural. The jury is still out as to whether a diet pill could truly be all natural. I personally, would love to have a pill that could take away all of the weight and replace with optimum health. But i’m not sure that will happen anytime soon.

What do you think?

Weight Loss Supplements

Posted on : 20-01-2010 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

I have been getting healthy and changing many of my unhealthy habits. In addition to that I am revisiting weight loss supplements. I am determined to find the best weight loss supplement that promotes optimum health. I realize that supplements can help give me a leg up. They can especially help manage joint pain and such.

Have you tried supplements for weight loss? What do you think?

Workout heaven!

My newly found passion this year is working out on the treadmill and of course selecting my favorite of the ellipticals at the gym. Personally, I think that I actually like working out on the elliptical more than the treadmill because it gives me a harder workout. Eventually, I would like to do the bulk of my cardio on the elliptical. It’s like jogging on air! :)

Sometimes supplements help

Right now, I am on a journey to better my health. It’s not an easy journey and I have come along down a bumpy road. Because losing weight is so much more than “will power”. It’s changing the way you think about food, yourself, and life all around you.

I have come to a point where I have a hard time realizing that you don’t need to celebrate with food. And my appetite at times seems rival to none. During those times, I find that I take weight loss supplements to curb my appetite or give me the nutrients I might otherwise be missing out of my diet.

Exercise — home equipment or gym membership?

Posted on : 20-09-2009 | By : Sassymom | In : Health

I have been mulling over getting a gym membership. I want to. I need to. But with winter around the corner I don’t know if I want to drive to the gym (especially if we are going to be in this house for any amount of time because the gym is farther away).

Instead, I thought it would be nice to find a great deal on a treadmill or an elliptical machine for the house! I already have an exercise bike… but I would like to include other forms of equipment so as not to get bored.

Do you have a home gym? Do you like it?

Journey to better health

So i’m on this journey right now to better health. And one of the things I would like to do is figure out how to lose belly fat. Having 3 kids in such a short period of time has taken its toll on my body (well that and various life stressors). So abdominal fat is a big problem for me. On top of stomach crunches and supplements, i’m wondering what else is out there to help combat against abdominal fat.

The benefits of growth hormones.

Recently, I had heard of the use of HGH for optimum health and muscle build. So, I did some research to find the best hgh releaser. I have heard of Sommatropinne and supposedly it is an effective HGH supplement.

So what are the positive effects of hgh? Below are some of the positive effects of HGH:

    Reverse the signs of aging.
    Build muscle
    Reduce body fat
    Strengthens bones & bone mass by retaining calcium
    Controls blood sugar
    Increases metabolism

Scientists are just beginning to understand the health and wellness benefits from HGH. But so far, it looks as though there are some very positive things about using HGH supplements.

The older I get, the more I realize that good skin care and taking care of one’s body is absolutely essential in this life! People today are aging differently than they did a long time ago. 40 used to mark a time in a woman’s life when she could officially consider herself to be “old”. But as i’m fast learning, 40 is the new 30. One of the best things to help your skin keep its vitality and youthful appearance is to apply the best wrinkle cream you can find! ;)
