What your hair says about your health Y
ou probably think about your hair on a daily basis— whether you’re having a good or a bad hair day or maybe wondering whether you should try a new style from the pages of your favourite magazine. But you might be missing clues that your hair is revealing about your health. Changes in your hair’s look, texture, or thickness can be signs of underlying health conditions. Here’s how you can tell whether your hair changes are due to a health problem or genetics, starting with clue number one: Sudden changes, such as a lot of hair loss, are more likely linked to a treatable health problem than are gradual changes, such as thinning. The next time you look in the mirror, look out for these hair symptoms. Grey hair Stress turns hair grey.

Hair shedding If you are suddenly noticing a lot more hair in your hairbrush or on your shower floor, this could be a sign that your body has low iron stores, or anaemia, and may warrant testing. Iron supplements or a change in diet to include more iron-rich foods can help you keep your hair. Hair shedding can also happen (temporarily) with
sudden changes in estrogen levels and is often noticed after pregnancy or stopping birth control pills. Hair thinning Protein is essential to building your hair, so if you don’t get enough, you may notice hair loss or thinning. Most hair thinning, even in women, is likely due to genetics. Yellow flakes
SEXUAL ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
PREMATURE EJACULATION REMATURE ejaculation occurs in two forms namely; Lifelong PE this starts early on, usually when you are a teenager experiencing first sexual contact. It is harder to treat and often has deeper psychological causes. Bad habits may also contribute (such as masturbating to ejaculate as fast as possible in order to avoid getting caught). Acquired PE which happens later in life and is usually triggered by either psychological (stress or relationship issues) or physical causes (diabetes or high blood pressure). I had an infection some years back which I didn’t treat well and now its really disturbing and also affecting my erection as I hardly can get an erection not to talk of making it hard and this situation is so embarrassing. I heard Cleanshield liquid can help cure the infection totally and if this is true, how does it work and what can I also use to correct the very weak erection? Shola Cleanshield is an alkaline liquid supplement that helps reduce the level of acidity in the body. For any microorganism. mostly bacteria that cause infection to thrive, it needs an acidic environment and that’s why you have the infection; Cleanshield reduces the acidic level in the body making it impossible for bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus to thrive and cause infection. Cleanshield liquid has to be used for a period of time to totally erase the effect of the infection from the body. The best to correct weak erection is Prosolution pills. This herbal supplement helps correct weak erection and early ejaculation and also gives quick recovery time if you want more than 1 round. Prosolution pill is safe for use without side effects and even the diabetics or hypertensives can also use it. I get erection easily but its not hard enough and I can’t even go more than one round and my wife is demanding for more, please help me? Chief Ohia Hello Chief, it’s good enough to know that at least you get an erection, though not as hard as you’d wanted.

you the good result you so desired without any side effect like headache or nausea. I have been using Vigrx plus with Plump cream for about 2 months and I must confess that my penis is bigger than what it used to be. I’m getting more of penis’ thickness than the length and I actually need more of the length. What can I do? Do I need to continue with the Vigrx plus with plump cream or do I need to take another product for length? Alh Ali Most times, the increment of the penis starts from the width of the penis and then progresses to the length and since you are in the second month, the length is just starting to come up cos result actually starts showing from the 6th week of usage. The increment in the length of the penis is just starting, so give it some more time by taking the product for the last month to make it three months in all and you will get more of length added. I got Fertilaid for men with count boost from you two months ago for my case of azoospermia (no sperm cell in semen) and after I have taken them for two months, I went to my doctor for a test and to my surprise; sperm cells have been detected in my semen though in low quantity. How long do I need to continue taking them for full result? Roy The time you need to take fertilaid with count boost or motility boost to handle fertility issues depends on how fast you are getting result. I’m glad though, that result has started showing. Thank you so much Viewden for the Cleanshield and oligosaccharide I got from you last week to handle arthritis and pains in my waist and legs. Believe me when I say I’m getting serious relief from the pains despite the fact that I have just used them for 3 days. I will use them for about 3 months just as you have advised. I will order for the next dose. Olamide These are all we can take for this week. Adults who needs any of these aphrodisiacs can call 08034666358, 07059294782 or place your order at www.viewden.com.

Yellow or white flakes in your hair, on your shoulders, and even in your eyebrows are a sign of seborrhoic dermatitis or dandruff. Over-thecounter specialty hair shampoos and prescription cortisones can help manage this condition. Dandruff, which can be caused by yeast on the skin or an inflammation of the skin, is usually worse in cold weather. Damaged hair Although hair can tattle on your health conditions, people more commonly complain about the damage done by colouring and heattreating hair to within an inch of its life. Both heat and colour leave you with brittle, dry hair that’s hard to maintain. But perhaps most importantly, highly treated hair just can’t tell you what you need to know about your health.
