Your Hair
There are approximately 100,000 strands of hair on the average head, growing an average of ½ inch per month. On medium length
hair these strands can remain for anything up to two years.
Hair strands are arranged in three layers, an outer cuticle, a middle cortex and a central medulla. The strand is composed of a protein
called keratin. This protein is the building block of each strand. It gives the follicle strength to avoid splitting.
Your Nails
The relationship between your hair, nails and skin and your overall health is underestimated. They
share the same nutritional requirements for health. They react to deficiency in similar ways. Their general look and feel alone can even
reveal much to the non-professional.
Lack of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and trace elements you ingest show your health status clearly through nail
disease.
Your Skin
Your skin is actually an organ, the largest organ of your body in fact. It provides a cover for your skeletal system, muscles,
nerves, veins, arteries and vital organs. It protects you from infection, heat, injury and environmental damage. It also regulates your
body temperature and stores water, fat and vitamin. For More Information Click Here
