Nails are significant since they do different actions. In their absence, it will be infeasible to do many things.

Nails aid the animals catch and tear the food they eat. Humans who are blessed with eating gadgets don’t depend on nails to eat. However, they defend the fronts of the fingers and toes, and enable us clamp small things.

Several male guitarists, especially classical performers, increase long nails to be useful to guitar picks and aid them pluck strings. In the absence of nails, it will also be infeasible to scratch any tickling part you have!

Nails increase from the nail root that is observed under the skin. They are made from keratin, the principal protein in skin and hair. This results in getting the nail cells to harden. As new cells form under, they bump the hard cells that we can see as nails.

Contrary to prevalent belief, nails don’t increase after death since they are already dead! They seem to be growing as the skin compresses. Neither do nails perspire as they don’t have perspiring glands. What becomes damp is the area nearby the nails. Because they are dead, nails don’t need food or nourishment. Their pink color originate from the wee blood vessels under.
The nail plates, inconsistent with the prevalent belief, never breathe. So they don’t need oxygen. However, the nail beds and the cuticles are breathing cells and they do need oxygen, vitamins and minerals .

Toenails are thicker than fingernails but they increase briskly. It requires about four to six months for them to raise back while toenails take from 12 to 18 months. Ordinarily, men’s nails increase briskly than women’s nails. Children and pregnant women too have quick rising nails.
Climatic conditions too impact on nail growth. Nails increase briskly in warm climatic conditions and in daytime, than in cold climatic conditions and at night. Nails increase at different speeds on both hands. If you are right-handed, its natural that nails on your right hand will increase briskly than the nails on your left hand and vice versa. Pressure, typing on a computer etc. aids nail growth.

Nails mirror a person’s state of health . When you are sick, it will certainly display in your nails. One of the most usual nail headaches is onychomycosis, a fungal disease of the nails that may turn your nails awful and deformed. To prevent this, take good care of your nails by washing and patting them completely, wearing well-ventilated footwear and cotton socks that soak up perspiration, and using a good foot-powder.

It is important to know what you’re getting yourself into when you decide to purchase any form of medicine. If you take any medicine too often or for the wrong ailment, you could be putting your health in jeopardy; however, there are some medicines that are considerably less risky.

Natural health medicine has been documented to have less or no side effects when compared to its chemical counterparts. That is because natural health medicine is generally made with products taken out of nature without being refined. That means that the medicine is made out of natural ingredients that will work in conjunction with the body; whereas their refined counterparts might have an adverse affect.

These natural ingredients are normally plant and root extract, which have been used for centuries by countries such as China, which is known for its herbal medicines. That is why it is evidently clear that natural health medicine is good for the body,
especially when it comes to strengthening your immune system.

One of the most copied (and the easiest to imitate) trend this season so far is the star print. It’s everywhere. It’s in all the highstreet stores I’ve been to or checked out online. And I’m really starting to dislike it.

Let’s start from the beginning, the star prints were most prominently featured in the S/S08 collections of YSL in the form of big starry prints and costume jewelry. The plastic star earrings were sold out when I went to a YSL store a few days ago in Hong Kong. As for the plastic star necklace, the first time my friends and I saw the price online, we were absolutely flabbergasted!

The other prominent star supporter was Chanel, in the form of little white stars with a navy blue backdrop. Some fashion magazines have included it as an example of the stars trend, while others have claimed it to be part of the ‘American’ colours trend (-I guess because of the stars part of the US flag.)

Kate Moss, ever the trend leader already started wearing it last year.

No matter where the trend started, the Chanel version has definitely spread. I don’t want to be mean, but I think that one should be very careful when buying star printed items because it’s so easy for these items to look cheap.

These two are what I think are the best examples of how the star printed items can look cheap. The dress on the left (by ASOS) just looks sort of skanky, and the skirt on the right (by Top Shop) looks so cheap and childish looking that I wonder who above the age of 14 would buy it.

As for this Oasis dress, doesn’t it look too mature to you? Or maybe they were just aiming for an older audience.

These two items are both by French Connection. I really dislike the top -it just looks cheap and very tight-fitted. But strangely, I think the dress version is kind of cute.

I do think the star prints can look nice on certain items. Take these tops for instance, maybe it’s because of the material or elegant designs, but these top look really pretty. I especially like the white one (left) by ASOS -imagine it as part of a work outfit! The top on the right is by Top Shop.

And check out this dress by ASOS. I’m still not sure what to think of it: On one hand, I think it’s styled and modelled really coolly in the picture. On the other hand, I can’t imagine actually wearing a complete outfit that is all star-printed.

For something more fun than the white and navy blue star prints, Emilio Pucci has a few pieces of colourful star printed items.

In sync with the star trend, Top Shop has this very basic pink T-shirt. I imagine it would look cool on a teenager doing the whole rock chick/ skater girl look (-yes, perhaps I watch too much TV and read too much high school fiction.)

I’m just not a fan of the star-prints, I guess. It’s such a slippery slope that I haven’t been brave enough to buy anything star-printed yet. Has anyone bought something star-printed yet? How are you liking this trend?

Natural health is also about being pro-active in your life. You need to understand that if you want to be part of the natural health community, then you must be dedicated to making your life and especially your body healthy.
