To sleep well is necessary and vital to develop the life without problems. In our health blog we treat the thread of the sleep, and in this occasion we wonder why the women have more disorders of the sleep than the men . In this sense it is necessary to blame him, principally to the hormones, especially to the estrogen and to the progesterone.

The first one (the estrogen) acts in the phase of the sleep REM, and the second (progesterone) centers on the deep sleep . To part of this, there exist the typical problems of labor stress, maternity and the absence of weather to attend to the house, which badly that weighs us, keeps on worrying many women, who suffer anxiety for combining the labor life with the relative.

Also, the woman is more sensitive to the noises that the men (for nature), and she usually wakes up with more facility. When a woman has a new-born son, it is usually the maternal instinct the one that does not allow her to sleep, and is usually she the one that gets up every three hours (to see your son, to see that everything is fine and to give to him of sucking).

The woman usually has more tendency to worry for the problems , and takes them to the bed. The mentioned stress, the arrangement of the hearth, work, children, school, meals, buys, … it is usually a motive of worry that steals hours of sleep from the woman.

A few healthy Fingernails. Author: Nightrose

Every day we use the fingernails without realizing from how much they suffer. The chemicals, to open canisters and even the water, damage them and they provoke a weakness that in many persons is persistent. Many persons worried for these motives exist, and many products that assure your recovery, but the true thing is that these remedies are temporary and the most guessed right thing is to give them a little more of attention day by day. With these recommendations, and without going out of house, you can improve the health of your fingernails and show a few enviable hands.

to Wash the plates with gloves. The chemical components that have the soaps affect negatively to the hardness of the fingernails. After a few gloves put themselves the contacte will be avoided with these straight on the fingernails and they will not soften them.

to Consume proteins. The principal component of the fingernails and the hair are the proteins, on having increased your consumption, the hardness and resistance of both is increasing. Some food rich in proteins is the soya and the white meats.

The acids - greases. to preserve the hardness of the fingernails also it needs of them. They are contained by food as the egg or the nut.

to Dampen the fingernails with oil on having cut them or to file them . If these shares are carried out by the dry fingernails these tend to break easier. Another recommendation is that, on having filed them, it is done in only one address, and to give them a form thinly square.

to Repair them quickly. As soon as a fingernail breaks it is necessary to cut it or to file it so that the damage does not increase. Also specific glues exist for fingernails, which solve these situations.

to Keep them short. It Is the most effective form of that do not break. This way situations as the previous one will be avoided.

not to abuse the nail varnish remover. East product dries very much the fingernails off, by what it must be applied moderately, in small quantities and, preferably, not more than once a week.

not to use artificial fingernails. The products that are used for your laying are aggressive with the real fingernail. Even on having taken them, it is possible to start part of your surface. The false fingernails do not solve the problem, only they mask it.

to Avoid to use the fingernails as tool. The use that we give him every day to our fingernails at the time of, for example, opening canisters, to withdraw tags or to remove staples, they damage them much more than to simple sight it seems.

not to immerse them in prolongation in water. , On having become damp, they expand and once to evaporated the water they contract with such rapidity that they can go so far as to crack.

If in addition to all this we carry out of these home-made remedies, we will show a few healthy and nice fingernails every day.

1 - To dip approximately 15 minutes the egg yolks of the fingers in half an olive oil cup every night before going to bed in order to hidratas the fingernails.

2 - To massage the fingernails with castor oil which relieves both the cuticles and the proper fingernails. For it it is necessary to apply a drop of this oil to each one. The castor oil contains vitamin E that helps to strengthen the fingernail and also it gives him sheen.

The hygiene is basic in our health, in addition to having an important cultural load and of education: a person who is not adorned or who walks with the dirty clothes can provoke certain repulsion to us. But the excesses are not good, and the hygiene excess either. Although it seems rare to you, it can provoke allergy.

Our immune system is reinforced the more it works. Your struggle with the antibodies keeps him alert. By force of cleaning, we are exposed to bacteria that earlier nuestas defenses knew and were eliminating and that now, for lack of custom, attack us and provoke illnesses like asthma, dermatitis or rinitis.

A baby who grows up in a completely aseptic environment will have a flagging immune system that he has not learned to fight with the external agents, therefore, instead of avoiding the illnesses like a simple cold, we are making him exposed to others that can be, in the long run, chronic and more serious.

On the other hand, the bacteria get accustomed to the cleaning products and are done more and more resistant . The only thing that we obtain with this is that to disinfect a surface or an object every time we have to use stronger and aggressive products that in turn bother us.

The consequences suffer especially the parts of our body that more exposed are to the environment and to the external agents: our skin and our respiratory system. The small children are those who endure more risk before this type of sterilization for so slightly healthy habits like a wash with soap or a completely sterile environment. The baby must bathe with water only for your first year of life since this way it preserves the natural defenses of the skin, or like much, with some neutral soap, and not always. The loss of the natural fat provokes excemas, resecamiento of the skin and cracking.

A basic care like hydrating the skin and that does not remain humid can help us more than to take a shower with soap several times a day. Otherwise, you are taking the best defender who has the epidermis opposite to any external element.
