Where's my hair??



"McCain also called for 'rewarding'
people who joined
wellness programs
and
health clubs.
Wellness,
as regular readers know,

is just the new codeword for "not fat."
This is a horrible,
horrible idea."

Yeah, I'm a food snob.
When I see beer bellied fat men eating their pastries and coffee for breakfast, I want to scream at them
EAT REAL FOOD, STUPID!!!

When I see obese women, I tend to be more forgiving.
I still want to see them eat better foods, but I understand how they may be finding (false) comfort in junk foods and sweets.

Nevertheless, I see food, the consumption of food - consumption meaning buying it AND eating it - as directly related to one's body condition.

If I were a health practitioner, I would want to know what my patients were eating.
If they told me they were paying more attention to labels, I would want to know why so much of what they eat even HAD a label.

Last I looked, fresh fruits and vegetables had no nutrition label on them
and they're the most nutritious foods in the whole supermarket.

Aw, crap.
What I really want to talk about is my hair.
It's incredibly thin.
It started thinning in the mid 1980s a few years BEFORE my first weight loss surgery (the gastric band...not the lap band. The adjustable gastric band was put in me using a full, open incision, not laproscopy).

Stress?
Yes.

Heredity?
Maybe.

Nutrition?
I'm betting on it.

I need better nutrients in my system.
Vitamins are not cutting it.
May bypassed intestines are not breaking down the vitamins so I can absorb them.
I need them to pass more directly and quickly into my system from a food source.

I'm thinking juicing will save me...and my hair.

Have I juiced yet?
No.

I don't have the money to buy the bulk vegetables needed to make the juice.
Grains are cheaper.
I get more food volume from them.
Money is tight this week.
I'm living on barley.

Meanwhile my hair is falling out and swirling down the drain.

Money money money
must I manifest some money?

Or should I be focusing on fruits and vegetables?

Or should I just visualize a head of thick, healthy hair?

Nutrition for the belly.
Nutrition for the brain.

It's cheaper to feed my brain.

Massage brings "nutrients" to the scalp??
Self massage is free.

Lisa, as always, you keep it real. I don't have quite the same issue, but I do notice that I shed a lot more hair when my food choices are not good.
