Sudden Hair Loss
People often fail to realize how stress affects physical health as well as hair health. However, it affects the overall health of an individual. This does not mean stress is always bad. Sometimes, stress is good for making an individual focused towards an approach and deciding better. In fact, some people perform better under stress and do much better. Stress up to a certain level is good, although there are no fixed parameters to establish up to what level it is good but sever stress leads to disease like anxiety, sudden hair loss and other physical health problems. Many of the people associate stress directly with sudden hair loss.

Every Breath We Take Should Be Smoke Free
It has been more than 4 decades ago since smoking was proven to cause lung cancer and other serious diseases. Almost at the same time, the negative perception that second hand smoke can cause serious disease and premature death in both adults and children have been confirmed. Thanks to the report of the United States Surgeon General entitled “The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke,” it has strengthened our view on the ill effects of cigarettes to people who smoke as well as to those who do not smoke.

Regular Exercise Can Reverse Brain Damage and Reduce Anxiety
Introduction The human brain is unusual in that it undergoes massive changes throughout development. Even though the brain has mostly stopped developing by around the age of 25, it continues to change shape and function in response to experience and behavior. Exercise has been shown to have a wide range of benefits for the brain, including reducing stress, improving alertness, and boosting memory. Researchers from University College London recently found that regular exercise may even reverse damage to brain cells. It was already known that exercise boosts a chemical called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is released throughout the body during physical activity. It acts as a sort of fertilizer for the brain, causing new cells to grow and existing neurons to form new connections

Stop Threatening Weight Gain
Let me start by acknowledging the privilege I hold in the weight-inclusive space. I am a thin person, and up to this current date I have always been a thin person. While I have had my own struggles with a disordered relationship with my body and food, I have never at any point had a provider make a comment about my weight, a store not have my size or go to a location that could not accommodate my body. I cannot truly speak to the experience of all bodies, especially the most marginalized, because I have never lived those experiences and there’s a possibility that I never will. It is my hope, as a weight-inclusive and non-diet provider, to make space for individuals to process the harms of diet culture and fatphobia and move towards a lifestyle that nourishes them physically, mentally and emotionally.
