Head Lice - One Insects in Hair




Head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) are parasitic insects that are found on the heads of people. Having head lice is a very common occurrence in the U.S. and they are spread by close physical contact, especially among children.

Head lice are usually found on the scalp near the neckline at the back of the neck and behind the ears.

There are three forms of head lice:-

Nit :- Head lice eggs are called nits. They are very difficult to see and are often mistaken for dandruff. They are usually found attached to the hair shaft.

Nymph :- The nit hatches into a baby louse which is called a nymph.

Adult :- The adult louse is very small, is tan to grayish-white in color, and has six legs. In people with dark hair, the adult louse will look darker.

Signs that your youngster may be infested with head lice:-

(1) A tickling feeling in the hair and on the scalp

(2) Itching on and around the head area

(3) Unexplained irritability

(4) Sores on the head caused by your child's scratching

How to rid the infested person of lice:-

(1) Visit your pharmacy and get a bottle of pediculicide (lice medicine) and follow the instructions.

(2) Have the affected person change into clean clothes.

(3) Run a fine comb through the hair every few hours, to remove the lice, nymphs, and nits.

Health Care Tips & Guide- Simple Art of Washing Your Face





























Lets Discuss about Art of Washing Face for Beautiful & Healthy Skin.

Did you know that you have a great deal of control over the texture, clarity, suppleness and long-term health of facial skin just based on how and how often you cleanse? Whether you’re young or old, man or woman, you can do your skin a big favor by cleansing correctly.

Cleansing is arguably the most important part of your basic skincare routine. Proper cleansing gets rid of old surface skin cells, dirt and dust, grime, make-up and bacteria, and keeps skin pores free of clogs and able to breathe freely.Cleansing also aids circulation and prepares the skin to receive topically applied nutrients and lipids.

Here are some tips for proper facial cleansing from the 5,000-year-old healing tradition of Ayurveda : -

(1) Cleanse twice a day, no more. Unless you have exposed your skin to excessive dust, grime or pollution, twice-a-day cleansing is more than adequate for any skin type.

Cleansing too often strips your skin of precious natural oils.

Not cleansing regularly, particularly before you retire for the night, may lead to build-up and eruptions.

(2) Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. Do not use soap on facial skin: it can be too harsh and drying and damage skin over time. A too-rich cleanser can clog pores, while a too-dry cleanser can irritate the skin.

A cleanser for dry skin should contain nourishing herbs and oils. One for oily skin should include herbs that balance oil production and support clarity. Sensitive skin benefits from an ultra-gentle, fragrance-free, non-irritating cleanser.

Traditional ayurvedic cleansers are made fresh with natural ingredients such as ground oats, lentils or chickpeas, complexion enhancing or clarifying herbs such as turmeric, Amalaki, Neem and sandalwood, emollients such as milk, cream yogurt or honey, and floral or citrus waters for pure healing fragrance.

You can make your own by mixing the dry ingredients to last a week or two and blending the mix with milk or cream right before use. Otherwise, look for a natural cleanser that’s gentle and fortified with skin-friendly herbs.

(3) Always cleanse with tepid water. Hot water dries and damages skin over time, and cold water won’t dissolve and take away embedded dirt and grime as well as lukewarm water.



(4) If you use sponges or washcloths, make sure they are clean and soft. They are notnecessary for effective cleansing: your fingertips can do just as good a job.



(5) Wash your hands thoroughly before you cleanse your face, or you will be working dirt into facial skin.Use a headband to secure hair away from the face.



(6) Start by splashing tepid water on your face and neck.

(7) Apply the cleanser with your fingertips or a soft sponge, using gentle circular massaging strokes and moving upward on the face and neck. Do not scrub too much…gentle massaging strokes are enough to help improve circulation as well as loosen grime and old surface skin cells. Too much scrubbing will stretch skin and irritate it, especially the delicate skin around the eyes.

(8) Rinse with lots of tepid water. Don’t forget to rinse off cleanser from the neck and hairline. Cleanser residue can clog pores and attract dirt.



(9) Gently blot off excess water with a soft towel. Do not scrub dry or drag towel along skin.



(10) Follow immediately with a water-based toner and a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type to seal in surface moisture and offer nourishment when skin is receptive.

Honey is healthier choice over refined sugar as it is rich in minerals and vitamins and contains fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar.

The sugar resides into honey in the form of glucose and fructose that give its natural sweetness.

Organic Honey:-

Organic honey is honey produced, processed, and packaged according to certain standards.


The beekeepers follow set rules and methods for honey production, the bees are protected for their natural life cycle, natural habitat, and nourishment as well.

In conventional or non-organic method, beekeepers generally use many chemicals or synthetic products for example sulfa compounds and antibiotics are used to control bee diseases, carbolic acid to remove honey from the hive and calcium cyanide to kill colonies before extracting the honey.

These artificial chemicals make the honey impure and contaminated also. In natural method too, honeybees gather nectar from plants that have been sprayed with pesticides, the honey made from this nectar also contains residues of those pesticides.

Thus the natural honey is also not free from adverse effects of harmful chemicals. The organic honey offers a healthy solution to these problems.

As no artificial, chemicals are used in the production and processing of this honey, it is safe to eat, and keep our planet healthy, too.

Health Talks for Healthy Diet Do's-Don’ts





























At Present time,There are so many health advices,health tips,health facts,healthy ideas for available just on over one mouse click.



That’s why I just share very short but healpful Healthy Diet Matters to all my Healthy Blog Visitors for our Healthy LifeStyle.



Doesn't it seem like cravings and emotionally driven eating are amped up when you're on a diet? The good news is that there are many tried-and-true methods to help keep you on track. I'm about to let you in on a few.



Do fill up on fiber :-

Protein is digested more slowly than carbohydrates and fat, so it takes fewer calories to fill you up.



Fiber slows mealtime digestion and absorbs water, which expands your stomach and creates a feeling of fullness.



Lentils and starchy beans (for example, navy, kidney, black, pinto, and garbanzo beans) naturally combine protein and fiber in very impressive amounts, so consider eating them in soups and salads or as a side dish instead of rice or pasta.



Don't miss out on sleep :-



Recent studies show that sleep deprivation can make it difficult to fit into your favorite jeans. When you don't get enough shut-eye, your body produces more ghrelin, a hormone that makes you hungry, and less leptin, a hormone that increases satiety. Discipline might enable you to resist, but why not give your body a well-deserved rest?



downsize :-



Scientists at Cornell University and the University of Illinois researched the effect of serving-bowl size on eating behavior and then published their findings in no less an esteemed publication than the Journal of the American Medical Association.



Researchers found that students serving themselves from a large bowl took 53 percent more and ate 56 percent more food (the equivalent of 142 calories) than those who served themselves from smaller serving bowls.



If 142 calories doesn't seem like much, try multiplying it by three meals a day for 365 days.



If the resulting yearly weight gain of 44 pounds doesn't inspire you to consider a new china pattern, I don't know what will!



Do veg out :-



Nonstarchy vegetables (anything but peas, corn, acorn/butternut squash, and potatoes) are "filler foods" in the best sense of the term. Low in calories and packed with water and fiber, vegetables fill you up without filling you out.



Enjoy them in the form of stir-fries and soups, and munch on baby carrots, celery sticks, green beans, or cauliflower between meals.



Don't eat standing up :-



Back when people ate most of their meals while seated at their kitchen or dining-room tables, rates of obesity were far lower. Coincidence? I think not.



When eating is limited to a particular place, your brain doesn't associate other places with food, and the cascade of bodily signals that stimulate appetite is activated less frequently.



So, no more chowing down while leaning over your kitchen sink or strolling down the street, OK?



Do limit your choices :-



Contrary to popular belief, variety is not all that it's cracked up to be—at least when it comes to snacks. When you have more to choose from, you tend to sample a little of this and a little of that, which can lead to a lot of extra pounds. Besides, research shows that we are generally happier eating our favorite foods repeatedly than experimenting with a wide variety.



Don't eat in the dark :-



Dining by candlelight may be romantic, but the end result can be anything but. Eating in a dimly lit room tends to make people consume more calories.



Simply put, in the light you're more self-conscious of others watching what you eat. Also, in low lighting, you can't see your food as well, which may cause you to lose track of how much you're eating. So, if possible, nix the dimmer.

Sit in a chair with good lumbar support and proper position and height for the task.



Keep your shoulders back.



Switch sitting positions often and periodically walk around the office or gently stretch muscles to relieve tension.

Maintain proper nutrition and diet to reduce and prevent excessive weight, especially weight around the waistline that taxes lower back muscles.



A diet with sufficient daily intake of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D helps to promote new bone growth.



Smoking reduces blood flow to the lower spine and causes the spinal discs to degenerate. So please try to avoid Smoking as you can.
