Hello April! by drvolcanoe #TheMarchCharge2022 done right Marched all the way over and beyond the finish line today! It's a wrap for #TheMarchCharge2022 & the end of the beginning for #myConsistencyChallenge. When I set my mind to a task that's within my control & effort, rarely do I back out. That's commitment , regardless of motivation. March 2021 was an exception. * What a beautiful start to the day! Ticked off both my pledge of 5,000 steps per day every single day this March & $200 self donation (and a little bit more) this month for the Cancer Council in the memory of my loved ones gone too soon. If you wish to support the Cancer Council's cause, it is never too late! Cancer never takes a day off. You can still donate to The March Charge directly or via my page at https://www.themarchcharge.com.au/fundraisers/lavjay Via this year's challenge, I'm grateful for: Reaching my fitness goals injury/ailment free this month! Our 'Holy Fit' team. It is lovely to inspire mates & be inspired in return to keep going… Generous donors who dug into their pocket to support Cancer Council's work. Others I've inspired to get moving more Supportive friends who never fail to cheer me on. That's why I started posting more again recently & shared daily updates of my watch's steps/km summary on socmed - to raise awareness, fundraise & inspire others while staying committed to my physical goals this March. Not to blow my trumpet. While some days I still grief for my loved ones gone too soon, I'm constantly reminded of friends & patients who've kicked cancer's ass. It is only possible with the advancement in treatment, following research - an important part of Cancer Council's work, besides supporting the patients & their families through the life-changing times. I've to share that this March 2022, not only am I overjoyed to be part of our Holy Fit team where we've been motivating each other & checking in from time to time…but, unknowingly I've inspired others to stay/be active. Not talking about my teammates here. Doctors are the worse, especially those working in clinics when it comes to commitment to active lifestyle. We dish out the advice on healthy lifestyle almost mindlessly numerous times a day, but how often do we mindfully engage in it ourselves? Especially if you have a general tendency to laze away after a long tiring day, like yours truly…lagilah sedentary lifestyle! And no way I'll exercise in the morning on regular 9-5 workday…love my sleep too much & hate the cold equally as much, if not more. A dear friend from interstate said a couple of times this month that I've motivated her to walk for the day. My cousin in Malaysia is inspired to start being active April (that's tomorrow) onwards. Glad to have motivated you guys… Hopefully directly or indirectly, by sharing about Cancer Council's work in my first few posts, I've inspired more people to think of donating to them too…or your local equivalent. Malaysia has MAKNA (Majlis Kanser National). I wanted to share more info on different types of cancers, those write ups didn't happen as much as planned. Otherwise, achieved all my goals affiliated with The March Charge this month! Overall, this month, having achieved my fitness goals…I'm motivated to keep it going. The real challenge will begin as daylight savings ends this Sunday & in winter. It is already cold brrr… This year, I told myself I'll make myself the most important person I need to focus on. I've been doing that and will continue doing so. Enough mental & emotional strain from listening to patients & solving their problem all day long at work. Never felt more at peace than all my phone free days during my personal time. That will continue being a recurring theme for me as peace is more precious than even happiness, yet it brings me more calm and happiness as a result. * Plan to set new challenges for myself over the upcoming months. *** A quick sidenote on blogging & the FB page I created for my blog, recently a stranger messaged me via the FB page saying some of my posts from the past was helpful and sought advice regarding migrating to Australia as a doctor. I was surprised yet humbled. I was reminded why I first started my blog & shared not only the good, but the bad and ugly too…glad my words from yesteryears are still serving the purpose. * When someone shares, it is a privilege to get a glimpse of their life. So I usually engage in posts I read. Appreciate all those who engage on my posts & stories too. But when timeline looks boring, mindless scrolling happens…what a mindless act! For April, I'm planning to limit my time on phone & social media, especially the mindless scrolling bit & as a tool to fill in free time in between stuffs. Mindfulness isn't my forte, exactly why I need to work on it. Time to use social media more intentionally & judiciously. * Back on topic, till next year, so long The March Charge! drvolcanoe | March 31, 2022 at 11:55 pm | Categories: Counting My Blessings, The March Charge | URL: https://wp.me/p3L8oA-20y Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Mad Med Journey.

This is a lot more frequent problem than you would think. Hair loss is commonly associated with poor self-esteem in most people. Fortunately, depending on the cause of your hair loss, you may tackle the problem in a variety of methods. Biotin pills have recently been a popular therapy, with many people testifying about their effectiveness. At the same time, several sources claim that this vitamin is ineffective in the treatment of hair loss. We'd like to debunk the myths around biotin use for hair in this article. We'll also examine its method of action in promoting hair growth. What is biotin and what does it have to do with hair? Biotin is a brand name for vitamin B7, which was formerly known as vitamin H. Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that is often known as the "beauty vitamin" because of its remarkable effects on the skin, hair, and nails. It also aids in the digestion of carbs and lipids, resulting in healthy metabolism and high energy level. Biotin is required for the production of amino acids and, most significantly, keratin, the primary protein found in hair. As a result, consuming biotin for hair may aid in the growth of stronger and healthier hair as well as a faster rate of growth. What factors cause hair loss? Very often it is as simple as a lack of certain elements, especially in younger people, that can make your mane recede. Other common culprits are stress, depression, and hormonal disbalance. Such events usually cause only temporary hair loss and can be treated with a healthy diet, various supplements, and stress management if they want to avoid the best hair transplant in Kolkata. Many medical conditions are also linked to hair loss, for example,- thyroid, adrenal gland, or ovarian disorders. In such cases, you must first tackle the illness itself to eliminate hair loss that occurs as a side symptom. Obviously, a biotin deficiency can also be the major reason for excessive hair fall. Although rare, a biotin deficiency can be both acquired and hereditary. Pregnant women and those consuming a lot of alcohol have an increased risk of not getting enough vitamin B7. Sometimes, even if you consume an adequate amount of biotin daily, you can still develop a deficiency due to poor digestion, damaged gut flora or antibiotics treatment. These can lead to poor absorption of essential elements, and biotin as well. That is why, when it comes to hair, you always need to watch for your gastrointestinal health too. Eating wholesome foods that are good for hair does not make any sense if they cannot be properly processed in the body. Dosage and sources of biotin on a daily basis: Adults require 30 to 100 mg of biotin on a regular basis. Pregnant women and anyone with a biotin deficiency may require a higher dosage. Vitamin B7-rich foods are commonly accessible and usually make up the majority of a person's daily diet. Those are: Egg yolks are rich in biotin, however, preparation with heat will reduce the amount of the vitamin. Try to reduce the cooking time and go for soft-boiled eggs. Nuts all nuts contain some amount of the vitamin but almonds are especially great if you want to get more of this vitamin with your meals. Some fish and caviar salmon, cod, roe, and oysters are the most biotin-rich sources among seafood. Sweet potatoes Legumes such as soybeans and peas, must be widely present in a vegan diet to ensure an adequate biotin intake. organ meat Beef or chicken liver is the best animal-derived source of vitamins. We recommend eating these foods raw, if possible, or reduce their cooking time to get more biotin and other essential elements from them. Is it possible to use biotin topically on hair? There has been no study done on the efficacy of biotin when used in shampoos, serums, or hair masks on hair. There has been no indication that this vitamin can reach the hair shaft and participate in the keratin production process. This procedure takes place in the best hair transplant in Kolkata. Ordinarily, over-the-counter treatments are unable to penetrate the hair's core. As a consequence, we feel that applying biotin to the hair on a regular basis will not improve its growth. Are there any negative consequences? This vitamin is regarded to be safe to use, and an overdose is quite uncommon. As a result, side effects are uncommon. It can, however, interact with other medicines, reducing their effectiveness. If you're taking medication for diabetes, seizures, or high blood pressure, use biotin supplements with caution and don't take more than the recommended daily amount. Other negative effects include stomach discomfort, acne, and allergic reactions. How long does biotin take to act on your hair? Patience is your best friend, regardless of the hair loss treatment you choose. Hair cannot grow too rapidly, therefore it will take some time for you to see a difference between your "before" and "after" hair. You might have to wait approximately three months to observe a difference in your hair's condition. Biotin for hair: the takeaway There is a lot of information circling on the Internet about biotin and its implications for hair health. Some swear on its potency to promote hair growth. Others claim that such widespread popularity of using biotin for hair is merely a marketing decoy. Judging from the medical reports, biotin can be an effective treatment for receding hair but only if the hair loss is temporary and caused by a poor diet.  But also malabsorption of nutrients due to some gastrointestinal conditions.  If your hair loss is triggered by hormones, various illnesses, stress, or genetics, even a long-term treatment with this vitamin will be of no help. calcuttacosmoaid | April 1, 2022 at 1:11 pm | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: https://wp.me/pbZgaE-jb Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Calcutta Cosmo Aid Clinic.
