Hair is often the first thing we notice when we meet someone. It is an important expression of who we are. It also serves a valuable biological purpose; keeping your head warm and helping to regulate body temperature. But since environmental factors can effect our hair over time, it is important to learn healthy ways to protect our crowning glory.

Bad Hair Days
Exposure to the elements can wreak havoc on your hair. In the winter, dryness occurs when the protective outer layer, known as the cuticles, lifts and allows valuable moisture within the hair shaft to evaporate. Sun exposure can also be harmful, damaging your hair’s natural protective film, making it appear dry, dull and brittle. The sun’s ultra violet light chemically breaks down and weakens the keratin proteins, which are the building blocks of our hair.

Easy Hair Care
A healthy lifestyle means healthier hair. Drinking enough water and getting frequent scalp massages are just some of the simple ways to keep your hair silky and shiny. But the real secret comes from within, as any nutritional deficiencies can lead to adverse effects on your hair. Diet profoundly effects the health of not only internal systems and organs, but external ones as well.

Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex is a great way to obtain the vitamins and minerals needed for healthy hair. It contains over 20 essential nutrients such as Zinc which builds hair protein and vitamins B and C which support strong, supple strands of hair. It also includes Iron, which prevents hair follicles from being starved of oxygen and Beta-Carotene, an essential nutrient for hair growth. Herbalifeline®, Tri-Shield®, and Core Complex all contain Omega-3 fatty acids necessary for healthier, shinier looking hair. These essential fatty acids help to condition and lubricate the hair.

Lastly, remember to nourish your hair with a healthy shampoo and conditioner. Herbalife’s Herbal Aloe Shampoo can help to rehydrate your hair and Herbal Aloe Conditioner protects your hair and manages shine with the healing benefits of aloe.

The number of deaths from diabetes will soar by 25 per cent in the next decade thanks to Britain’s escalating weight problem, a World Health Organization report will reveal this week.

The extensive study says that 76 per cent of British men over the age of 30 and 69 per cent of women in the same age group, are overweight. This compares to 65 per cent of men and 55 per cent of women in 1995.

It is predicted that the number of overweight people will increase in the next 10 years, fuelling the rise in diabetes which by 2015 will be killing 8,000 people per year more than it does now. There will also be a surge in other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Dr JoAnne Epping-Jordan, of the WHO’s department of chronic diseases and health promotion, said the estimates were ‘conservative’. ‘The rates of overweight people are rising quite quickly. We are measuring the numbers of people overweight because that is a major risk factor for diabetes and other chronic diseases. We want to highlight that one does not have to be obese - the risks start rising at a Body Mass Index (BMI) as low as 21,’ she said.

BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in metres squared. The normal range is 18.5 to 24.9, and you are obese if it is over 30. Epping-Jordan pointed to studies from the US that show a woman who is only just overweight has eight times the risk of developing diabetes of someone at an ideal weight. For men the risk is just over double.

Charities in Britain last night urged the government to take notice. ‘These figures confirm our worst fears,’ said Simon O’Neill, director of care and policy at Diabetes UK. ‘We know that Type 2 diabetes is linked to being overweight, so people must be educated to eat a healthy diet and take up regular physical activity or the numbers will continue to rise at an alarming rate.’

The charities Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation estimate that 33,000 people die each year as a result of diabetes. The disease raises the chance of developing serious health problems, including heart disease, strokes, high blood pressure, circulation problems and nerve, kidney and eye damage. If the WHO’s predictions are realized the number of deaths will rise to more than 41,000 in 2015.

Neville Rigby, director of policy and public affairs at the International Obesity Task Force, said: ‘The biggest proportion of the population affected [by chronic diseases] are in the overweight category. This is the tip of the iceberg.’

He added that BMI is not enough on its own to highlight a risk. A normal BMI but a large waist circumference could be just as dangerous, he said. The ‘apple shape’, he added ‘indicates densely packed visceral fat‘.
