While we are here to offer you the finest and highest quality hair product , with a smile – thank you so much for your loyalty  – we are also looking out for your entire well being. Hence today we would like to talk more about Healthy Eating. …Instinctively enough Healthy Eating relates right back to your hair….

Here goes…

You have probably heard about a few key foods which help to boost metabolism however there are others, which you maybe surprised to learn, also crank the body’s metabolism up. — So we won’t keep you in suspense any longer:

Almonds:

It has long been established that almonds contain vitamin E, magnesium and phosphorus (which compliments one’s hair and skin beauty). They also assist with lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. However, what is more revealing is that they  boosts metabolism. Researchers at Purdue University have concluded that tree nuts increase your metabolic rate which results in greater weight loss when added to the diet. Still be cautious that tree nuts are consumed in moderate amounts as they are also high in calories. The customary recommendation is a handful a day. Furthermore, it is more advantageous for you to reach for the dry-roasted almonds which contain 169 calories (a lower count than the regular salted and roasted). Additionally, almonds contain 3g of fiber. This will work to fill you up and is a good addition to breakfast to keep you satisfactorily full as you start the day. As an additional step, dietary experts have recommended replacing meat – once a day – either neatly blended with your pasta or incorporated in a large salad.

Avocados:

It’s true what you’ve heard…the avocado is high in fat and calories, BUT it is also loaded with fiber, minerals and vitamins. Furthermore the bulk of the calories in the avocado come from monounsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats work to control the metabolic rate and to suppress appetite. This “good fat”  is also reputable for lowering cholesterol.  Risen cholesterol levels can result in the production of hormones that cause the stomach area to store fat.  Therefore, eating avocados can fundamentally decrease belly fat by lowering cholesterol levels and avert the production of the hormone cortisol. However be sure to consume the fruit in moderation to get the most out of its potent ability.

Beans:

Beans are bursting with nutrients that help boost our metabolism. They are loaded with fiber (to help keep our digestive systems in working order) and are also packed with protein, calcium, potassium and magnesium. So, try to eat 2-3 servings of beans a week. If you are purchasing canned beans, make sure they are organic and low in sodium – although the most beneficial way to eat beans is to buy them dry and soak them overnight.

Turkey:

Turkey is a great food because it is very good for you, and helps with boosting your metabolism. One small serving of turkey contains hardly any fat, and has a lot of protein. Turkey is a diet necessity. It is a great source of lean complete protein which helps you stay focused, and helps build muscle and helps increase your metabolism. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that the amino acid tryptophan (found in turkey) plays an important role in immune function, and in cancer prevention. As an added bonus, eating turkey also releases “happy hormones” such as serotonin into your blood stream, which actually has been shown to improve your mood.

Oatmeal:

If you’re looking to jump-start your metabolism, begin your morning off with a bowl of oatmeal. This super food is rich in fat soluble fiber, which requires a lot of calories to break down. Eating oatmeal can also help decrease your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of heart disease.

Choose the largest oat flakes possible to ensure that you digest your oatmeal at a slow pace, giving you a steady source of fuel for many hours. Steel-cut oats and old-fashioned oatmeal are the best choices to boost your metabolism. Oatmeal made from large oat flakes takes longer to digest, helping you stabilize your bloodsugar levels, prevent cravings and feel energized until your next meal. Avoid instant or minute oatmeal, especially the ones packaged with extra sugar and flavorings.

Cinnamon:

Just as other spices – such pepper and ginger – Cinnamon can raise your metabolism.  The way it works, however, is that it increases metabolism a small percentage (about 8%) for about 20 minutes after being ingested. Therefore it should not be a substitute for productive exercise or making the necessary dietary changes, such as eating a high-fiber diet and foods which boost your metabolic rate. Although its effectiveness is temporary, consider absorbing cinnamon into your diet where applicable. It will be a valuable assistant.  After all it does have a meaningful effect on insulin sensitivity. Cinnamon helps to steady glucose and insulin levels as well as lower cholesterol toward optimum health.

It is never too early, nor is it too to begin to incorporate healthy practices into our daily lives. Especially when these healthy practices leads to a more beautiful you!….Yep, you read that right!

There is data and experience to support that there are foods that we can eat to cause us to become the best versions of ourselves…Or just down right Pretty!

Dietitian and Wellness manager, Kristin Kirkpatrick has informed about 5 foods – to be exact – which can cause us to be more attractive….So since you can’t wait to hear what they, let’s get right to it:

Papaya

It is widely advertised these days to acquire skin care products with vitamin C to protect against wrinkles and other unwanted skin problems. However it is even more beneficial to get a sizable amount Vitamin C internally. Based on reputable studies published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition it has been found that a higher dietary intake of Vitamin C is  associated with a decreased likelihood of a wrinkled appearance.
However, think bigger than inhaling a morning glass of orange juice. Reach for excellent sources of Vitamin C such as papaya, as well as bell peppers, brussel sprouts, broccoli.

Recipe  Idea:

Consider combining, the items mentioned above, with a salad or throwing them into a stir fry for a beautiful meal or  or buying them frozen to make tropical smoothies.

Oysters

Oysters contain an astounding mineral called zinc. Zinc is critical to healing wounds as well as to development and growth. However it is also integral in amplifying collagen production and thereby revealing great skin. Furthermore, it has been scientifically discovered that zinc may help prevent acne since it works to control excess oils on the skin.

Recipe  Idea:

Consider putting Oysters on the barbeque! During those warm summer months, grill oysters for an appetizing delight.

Swiss Chard

Swiss Chard is appetizing and works well with almost any recipe. It contains a high level of biotin which makes it beneficial to the hair as well as the skin. It also possesses large amounts of b-complex vitamins which is associated with advantageous beauty properties

The leafy vegetable is also high in vitamins A, K and C. These are the vitamins correlated to overall anti-aging.

Soybeans

To many, it is an established fact that soybeans assist in lowering the risk for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and reducing the waist line,  but soybeans also dispense luminous and brilliant skin. It is the omega 3s contained in the beans which combat inflammation in the body and help skin look younger and supple.

Recipe  Idea:

Snacks such as edamame, walnuts, flax seed and, now, even soybeans possess the ample omega 3 nutrition for healthy skin. Fish is not the sole source of this miraculous nutrient. A quick saves time and achieves great beauty.

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are rich in a mineral named Selenium. Although this mineral is fantastic for good health and beautiful skin, it should not be consumed in large quantities at any point. The reason for that is, only small amounts of Selenium are necessary to reap the great reward. Overdosing, or ingesting a large quantity can actually disintegrate your beauty. It can lead to blotchy fingernail beds, hair loss….Yes! Gulp!….or discoloration of skin.

Recipe  Idea:

Just try a couple, no more than hand full, of Brazil nuts. One serving of salmon also works to produce the “beauty-results”.

This week’s Customer Rave is Linda L.

Linda prides herself on being a high fashion aficionado and has asserted that she knows a quality product when she sees one. She is also a creative individual with a natural instinct for innovative ways to invent the precise look she prefers on a daily basis.

Ms. Linda happily shared with us just how she “works-it” regularly and how she feels about her ONYC® Mongolian Kinky Curly 3B/3C. In the photo above Linda is showcasing a her flare for fashion and rocking the hair fabulously!

Here is Linda’s full experience:

Location: Torrence, CA

ONYC® Status: Sophomore - This is the second installment

Hair Specs: 2 Pouches, 18 inch Mongolian Kinky Curly 3B/3C

How often is hair washed: I shampoo it with herbal essence hello hydration shampoo once a week.

Favorite way to wear the hair: I love big hair…Depending on how big I want my hair to be, I regulate the amount of conditioner and agitation when drying.

Duration of wear: This is my 2nd install and I wore it for about 10 weeks, the 1st time around.

Must have ONYC Hair Essential: Diffuser

Why you love this hair: I like high fashion and this hair gives me all of that. It’s like I have couture on my head…Also, I can work-out and not worry about “sweating” it out, it loves moisture and my favorite room at the gym is the steam room.

Hair Care Tip to others for Caring for this ONYC® Hair: To style it I just wet it and spray hair conditioner in it (organic Moroccan argan oil conditioner) and comb through it with a goody “finish” brush while its saturated with water & conditioner, this detangles it and lessens breakage/shedding and I usually dry it with a conair one dryer with a diffuser attached on medium heat and low speed.

What do you say to individuals considering purchasing this hair: Mongolian Kinky Curly 3B/3C is ideal for me. This is the second installment.  I love it! Be sure to comb through it while its wet – saturated with water & conditioner. This detangles and lessens breakage/shedding.

Our Customer Rave this week is Ms. Ravon Sanchez!

She is Hyped-Up about how “real” the hair is since  it matches her own so impeccably!

Ravon excitedly broke out with delight, with all her thrilled feelings about her ONYC Hair. She rushed us some photos and a detailed testimony about the ONYC Mongolian Kinky Curly 3C-4A she is currently wearing.

Below is exactly what Ravon had to say to us:

Recently I purchased your Mongolian kinky curly hair with the 3c-4a curl pattern in 12 inches, natural black, which is what I am wearing in the pictures sent.

I went natural about 14 months ago, and I have tried numerous kinky brands of hair to use as a protective stylant while I grow my hair out from my big chop. Your Mongolian kinky curly is BY FAR the best I have come across. I haven’t had any issues with it tangling, which was a serious problem with the other brands in the past  (I’ve actually had to cut previous weaves out because of the degreel of tangling. Ridiculous).

Your product is also the most realistic natural hair. It matches my hair curl pattern perfectly. Noone can believe me when I tell them that I have hair extensions, which is obviously what we all want.

I can blow it out and get that big, dry, super afro look; or I can throw in some gel or curl pudding and get gorgeous curls. Either way, it always turns heads.

I love love LOVE this hair, and I have no need to look around any longer. You have a customer for life!

You can be like Ravon and fully excited with hair that blends in just like the tresses you were born with. Log on and begin shopping for ONYC® Hair today! 

OR Send us your Customer Rave. Send us a Pic with a short blurb (hair type & opinion) to prandmedia@onychair.com. We want to show you Off too!! But Please be sure to include the username and email you registered with on our website. This way we have a record, and You Just May Win Something!! :0)
