What Is This Strange Trend Where Men Are Balding In Their 20s?

From Wayne Rooney to Prince Williams to Neyo to Tom Felton to so many unknown men… it seems that men are now experiencing baldness as early as their 20s. This is quite different from what it used to be previously. Decades ago, it was a common sight to see men in their 40s that still had a full crop of hair on their heads, but now the situation is different.

Hair loss is not a new problem to the male folks, the issue here is premature balding that seems to be on the increase. It is no longer a trend to see men that have shaved their heads, almost every guy that you see walking around with a shaved head is experiencing baldness. It seems that either the way we now live is causing this problem or could it be hereditary or it could be that the role of the dice is not favoring so many young men in terms of hair growth.

A few hair specialists and scientists seems to have narrowed down the cause of this problem to four adversaries: pollution, stress, poor nutrition and vices. Continue reading “What Is This Strange Trend Where Men Are Balding In Their 20s?”

Some Products Derived From Horses

Horses and humans interact in a variety of ways such as competitive sports and non-competitive pursuits in the field of agriculture, entertainment and warfare. Although various breeds have been domesticated, a wide variety of techniques, equipment and accessories has been employed to control and protect them from harm. Rearing horses does not only provide pleasure to owners but also a great deal of money as there has been a substantial market for horses and products derived from horses.

The animal which has been long priced due to its strength, speed and beauty is used in the production of certain antitoxins such as botulinum antitoxin to fight clostridium botulinum toxins found in food poisoning and wound infections in neonates, tetanus antitoxin for Clostridium tetani, rabies antitoxin for rabies infection and among others. Moreover, with the increasing threat of biological attacks with the use of botulinum, studies on how to develop more potent antitoxins for it have been intensified including the use of human and equine derived antibodies for post exposure prophylaxis. The equine derived antitoxin is developed from the plasma of horses that have been immunized with each subtype of botulinum toxoid and toxin. From the pooled plasma from different horses, antitoxins are further developed to come up with more antitoxins for specific types of toxins. Continue reading “Some Products Derived From Horses”

The Importance of Pest Control

Pest control and management refers to any system or measure that seeks to eliminate or regulate the population of insects considered harmful to human and animal health and the environment. Pest control requires a lot of work and resources but it is a necessity, especially for homes. Here are the reasons why pest management is important and why every homeowner should consider applying it:

1. Preventing damage to homes and structures

In the U.S., people spend about $5 billion for the repair of damages caused by termite infestation. Termites consume wood and wood products such as plyboard and paper. Once they have burrowed into the wood components of the home, they can eat beams, floorings and walls from the inside. This makes the structure weak and vulnerable to collapse, leaving household members at a risk. Termite infestation can be especially problematic in older homes and structures that have not been treated. In areas where termites are known pests, managing a home to keep it safe from termites requires constant vigilance and assistance from pest control agencies.

2. Preventing allergies Continue reading “The Importance of Pest Control”

What The “Mission: Impossible” Movies Can Teach You About Pressure

I just saw the new Mission: Impossible movie. I’m not going to give anything away here (because you may not have seen it yet, and besides, I’m not that kind of a jerk), but it is absolutely filled with high-pressure situations!

As in the previous five installments, Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt. And, as in the previous five installments, there’s a lot at stake. What I find interesting, though, is that the three elements that create a high-pressure situation for Ethan Hunt are the same three elements that create a high-pressure situation for you (four, if your high-pressure situations typically involve a beautiful woman in peril).

1. The Importance of the Outcome
In the Mission: Impossible movies, the outcome is usually life or death. Sometimes Ethan’s, sometimes someone close to him, sometimes a large percentage of the world’s population. The point is, there’s a lot riding on the outcome! Your high-pressure situations may not literally be life or death (although sometimes it might feel that way), but, like Ethan’s situations, there’s a lot riding on the outcome!

Link Romantic Feelings To The Sight Of Your Face

Anchoring is an NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) term used to describe the mind’s tendency to associate two unrelated events or experiences, especially when a strong emotion is present.

For example, if your mother fed you chicken soup when you were ill as a child, you will always associate chicken soup to being loved and cared for.

On the down side, if you once contracted food poisoning from eating tainted pickles, just the smell of pickles will be enough to bring on a feeling of nausea many years after the event.

How does anchoring work in relationships? Continue reading “Link Romantic Feelings To The Sight Of Your Face”

Hives Diet – What to Eat and What to Avoid If You Have Hives

It is notable that most allergic symptoms worsen after the consumption of foods as eggs, shellfish, fish, strawberries, pineapple, tomatoes, chocolate or drinking alcohol (especially wine and beer) or smoking. During the allergies, the body reacts to them by producing extra histamine, hence anti-histamines drugs are recommended. Other foods that contain great amounts of histamine, or release histamine do cause severe allergic symptoms-alcohol as red wine form one of the major triggers. It must be noted that each individual has different tolerance level for histamine thus different people will react differently on different histamine levels. If your histamine tolerance level is reached; it overflows causing allergic symptoms happen.

The fermenting of foods lead to histamine is production as in cheese, grits, vinegar and alcoholic drinks. Unfortunately some foods have natural extra amounts of histamine as tomato, eggplant and spinach. Food additives including azo dyes, tartrazine and preservatives trigger the histamine releasing. Benzoates which occur natural in some foods also cause histamine to be released hence making them to be listed as those that need to be avoided so as to reduce the allergic symptoms.

Vitamin Euphoria – A Shot in the Dark

Do we need to pop those vitamin pills?

Vitamins seem to be so good for everything. The newly born needs them to grow properly; women take them to be happy; men use them to maintain or increase potency; athletes ingest them to stay fit; and older people take them to become younger or to avoid the flu. Even foods are categorized into good and bad, depending on how many or few many vitamins they contain. Ever since vitamins were produced synthetically they were made available in every drugstore or health shop around the world. Now you don’t have to eat all that vitamin-rich food anymore to stay healthy, all you need is to pop in a couple of those essential vitamin pills a day, or so the advertisements tell you. But if you don’t pay heed to this advice, you are told that you may become vitamin deficient and put your health at risk.

And so we act obediently, out of fear of risking our lives. If you feel tired or suffer from lack of concentration (which could be due to lack of sleep or overeating), you may be prescribed vitamin B pills. Then there is vitamin C if you catch a cold (which could result from stress, working too hard or eating too much junk food). Vitamin E, you are told, helps you prevent a heart attack (so you may no longer need to watch out for the true risk factors of heart disease). Accordingly, we spend billions of dollars on vitamin pills each year to fight off every kind of ill from the common cold to cancer. Continue reading “Vitamin Euphoria – A Shot in the Dark”

Cooking Frozen Packaged Meals in a Toaster Oven

Many people buy a toaster oven so that they don’t have to turn on their energy hogging full-sized oven for small meals. Then, to their dismay, they notice that most prepackaged frozen meals have this warning: “Do not cook in a toaster oven.” These countertop ovens are just smaller versions of normal ovens, so is it really a bad idea to cook frozen meals in them?

First, lets look at the differences between toaster ovens and full-sized conventional ovens. Both produce dry heat and in general, both have the same temperature range. The method of heating varies from oven to oven, with conventional models using either gas or electricity as the primary energy source. Toaster ovens rely solely on electric heat, but this is no different from many regular ovens out there. So why would you not be able to cook a frozen meal in a toaster oven?

I had some idea of why this would be, but rather than rely on conjecture I went straight to the source. I contacted four major companies whose products warned against using a toaster oven. All four gave me the same answer: uneven and unpredictable heating could lead to improperly cooked food. This can lead to food poisoning.
