Five Practical tips for Vibrant Hair & Health!

Diwali is a good time to make positive changes. Let go of what is not working and do

things that will upgrade your life to the next level. Here are some ideas to make your

hair and health better.

1. Love Your Hair

There is no such thing as ‘perfect hair’. Whether your hair is too fine, too thin, thick,

curly, frizzy, or damaged – let go of the struggle and simply love it the way it is.

What we think and feel about our bodies have an influence on our cells, body and

overall health. So when someone has a negative relationship with their body or hair,

and their thoughts are those of dislike and hatred toward their appearance, it does

create a negative reality. As a result, their hair appears dull and sad. And it can take a

serious toll on the body and spirit. To get positive results you need to change your

thinking. So instead of saying ‘I hate my hair’, opt for a more positive thought like “As I

take care of my hair, it gets healthier.” Within a few months of practice, your looks

will change for good and you will radiate beauty that will not go unnoticed.

2. Buy Natural Products

Harsh synthetic products not just harm our skin and hair; they go down the drain and

end up in stream, groundwater, rivers, ocean and eventually, in our tap. While your one

bottle of shampoo might not be the cause of major concern. When you consider the fact

that millions of people use such products, then we start to see a problem.

Natural products do tend to cost more, but you can be proud of choosing the safer

alternative which is good for you as well as the environment. Make a habit to read the

ingredient labels and if you are not sure about its safety, consult with a hair specialist

who will guide you to the right direction.

3. Eat Well

The food you eat becomes you after a few hours. It builds your skin, hair, organs, blood,

muscles, and bones.  It can also affect your mood, your sleep and your concentration.

Don’t try to change overnight. That will be overwhelming for you and you will give up the

next day. Instead start by giving up just one thing – whether it’s crisps, donuts, biscuits,

alcohol, or caffeine, start with your weak spot. Once you’ve mastered that, you’ll feel

motivated to give up something else.

Consider doing a kitchen detox every few months. Bin the processed foods – sugary

cereals, table salt (opt for sea salt), canned meat, cakes, instant noodles, and fruit

yogurt. Fill your kitchen with real foods, such as lentils, pulses, vegetables, fruits, nuts

and seeds, whole grains, live yogurt, cheese, hummus, cold pressed oils, ghee, and

wholefood supplements like NAVEDA Spirulina.

4. Exercise, Exercise, Exercise

Many people think exercise or physical activity is only about losing weight and/or

building muscles, but it’s so much more than that. Exercise is about a million small

perks, like better sleep, better posture, more energy, glowing skin and hair, and an

overall healthy body.

Research shows that exercise can boost self-confidence, as well as reduce your

feelings of depression and anxiety. As a general goal, aim for 30 minutes of physical

activity 3 to 4 days a week.

Exercise doesn’t have to be boring. It’s, in fact, a great way to unwind, enjoy the

outdoors, and have fun. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or

friends in a fun social setting. So, take a dance class, learn a sport, or walk your

children to and from school.

5. Be Happy Now

We always postpone our happiness to tomorrow. We look at happiness as something

that will come after we achieve certain thing: If I get gorgeous hair that turns heads I will

be really happy. Or if I get: a nice home, a perfect partner, the dream job… I will be truly

happy. Happiness is not something that will happen to us if things go well. Happiness is

here, now, with things the way they are, with your hair thick or thin. Join a Laughter
