Dry Scalp & Anti-Itch Serum

Dry Scalp! Picture it- you’re walking into the office and everyone is complimenting you on your beautiful hair-do. Little do they know that beneath those intricate twists or luscious curls your scalp is prickling and you’re in dire need of a pen or something to reach that itchy spot.

Ladies and gentleman, itchy scalp is no joke and can cause a person to mess up a hair-do! We’ve all had it happen to us. There’s no need to be ashamed, it doesn’t always mean that something is wrong with your scalp—it’s just dry. After washing and conditioning, your hair is nice and clean but your scalp is also naked and in need of some extra moisturizing at times.

Well, fear not. EE has a solution! Meet our Anti-Itch Scalp Serum, the oil that fights the inflamed scalp. Instead of taking that pen and possibly damaging your scalp or scribbling on your hair roots, anoint yourself with something that hydrates and soothes. That way the next time you come into the office rocking the latest hair-do, you don’t have to worry about the discomforts of dry scalp.

Using the best certified organic products, this hair serum is specially formulated to relieve dry scalp, stimulate blood circulation and prevent dandruff without clogging your pores.

Scalp & Root Pomade

Hey Earth’s Enrichers

Raise your hands if you’ve ever heard of pomade! Okay now, listen up Earth’s Enrichers. This is no ordinary pomade – no greasiness, no waxiness. This pomade was made with you in mind. We’ve designed it to not only moisturize your scalp and hair roots, but to stimulate hair growth. That means no heaviness or clogging up of your pores.

Take it from us, we are looking to continue promoting healthy, all-natural, and organic solutions for real hair care qualms.

With the help of these three oils, our pomade can serve as a healthy and natural alternative to pomades that contain ingredients like petroleum, mineral oil, ceteareth & Polyethylene glycol (PEG), methyl paraben, or hydoxypropyl distearn (can’t even pronounce it).

Our pomade promotes hair growth, which is a benefit of two of the natural oils we use in this product. It also decreases hair shedding and this benefit comes from all three of our natural oils. The oils’ have a focus on strengthening hair, preventing breakage and split ends. In addition to preventing the hair follicle from clogging and inflaming, this pomade can also reduce the protein loss in hair. This means that without suffocating your hair follicle, it can help keep your hair, strong, moisturized, and well-nourished!

The EE 411: Scalp and Root Pomade Instructions and Properties/Benefits

For daily styling and moisturizing, section your hair and using a small amount on your fingertip, spread the pomade over your wet or dry scalp. Massage pomade into your scalp to ensure complete coverage and to stimulate blood circulation.

Before you start panicking, take the time to think of why you are looking for the best gift possible. It’s because this is the day that you celebrate your mother. So, take the time to reflect on her importance. Think about what she means to you and how you feel about her. Thank her for this year and for how much she’s been there for you.

This way, when she looks back on this day, she will always have a memento to remind her of the thought that you put into making it memorable. This extra expression of your love will make this year’s gift very special!

The EE 411: Keeping her Health in Mind

When we were kids, mommas would take care of our every need. They would feed us, dress us, hug us and kiss us. They would also bathed us and made sure our skin was properly cared for. This meant that they would check the products they used to make sure they were right for their baby’s skin.

Now, as an adult, you should return the favor and get her something that looks out for her skin care needs and makes her happy! As always, we will make it easy for you. We provide an organic skin care line that we think is the best option for your moms’ skin. We are sure that she will enjoy using our products and they will make her very happy.

Organic Health – Other Than Nuts

Hey Earth’s Enrichers

We here at EE know that what works for the many doesn’t always work for the few. Last week we talked about going nuts. That many different types of nuts carry different types of nutritional benefits and make the perfect on the go healthy snack. But what about those of you who despise the nuts? Who are allergic to them? What other options do you have?

Never fear, we have taken the time to give you some of the options you seek. Instead of indulging nuts, the better options for those of you with nut issues can be seeds, olives, coconut, and lentils.

Before we continue with these various options, we must warn you that anything can come with an allergy. Try not to overdo what you like so that you don’t incidentally make yourself sick and even consuming a good thing has its limits. Also, make sure you are not allergic to any of these options. Trying a small portion of each you so desire before ingesting large amounts to make sure you do not have any allergies.

Now, when looking for a good substitution for the benefits of nuts, seeds are great. Seeds usually have a nutty consistency similar to what you find in peanuts. So, it makes an easy replacement that isn’t too bazaar. Seeds have been linked to lowering risk of heart diseases and can be a good anti-inflammatory. Seeds can also range from many types of benefits like protein, fiber, and antioxidants. So, if you are looking for a close substitute for nuts, seeds may be the option for you.

Now, if you are looking for something a little out of the box and definitely not similar to nuts in any way, you may like the olive option. Olives also have heart healthy benefits like controlling blood pressure, and helping to prevent blood clots. Olives are also a great source of vitamin E, dietary fiber, antioxidants, and potassium, etc. Pretty good option, if you’re not a fan of the nut and its texture.

This next option is very much mistaken for a nut or tree nut when it is not. Coconut is a fruit, not a nut. Even though people still have coconut allergies, those of you that are allergic to tree nuts might be able to eat coconuts. Coconuts have an immense amount of health benefits like boosting energy, defending against bacteria, reducing cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease, and boosting brain function.

Last but certainly not least, lentils are a good substitute for nuts. Lentils are more like beans, for example, dry beans, chickpeas, lupines, etc. They are high in protein and fiber. They are also a great source of potassium, vitamin K, calcium, and zinc. So if you are a bean person, then this may be the best choice for you.

The EE 411: Organic Health – An Extensive List on your Healthy Snack Option

Types of Seeds:
● Sunflower seeds
● Pomegranate seeds
● Flax seeds
● Pumpkin seeds
● Apricot seeds
● Sesame seeds
● Cumin seeds
● Grape seeds
● Chia seeds
● Hemp seeds

Types of Olives:
● Cerigonola
● Gaeta
● Kalamata
● Nicoise
● Oil-Cured
● Sicilian Green

Types of Lentils
● Brown Lentils
● Red Lentils
● French Green Lentils

There are many different substitutes for nuts. They can be found in meats, fruits, vegetables, and oils. So, don’t let these three popular options limit you. Do more research and find what you like. Then share what you have found with your friends and family. Also, look for great ways to incorporate them in your food. We hope our topic for today helped you find other healthy options outside of nuts.

Share with Us: What is your favorite nut substitute?

Organic Health – Healthy Snacks

Hey Earth’s Enrichers

It is the pivotal point of the sports season! Baseball playoffs are underway, Football is in full swing, and Basketball preseason has started. We all know what this means—it’s the season for snacking! It’s time to find snacks that fuel and feed your loyal sports fans throughout the season. However, it’s not time to forget about your loved ones’ health, even if it is sports season. So, to look after your loved ones’ health and their stomachs it’s time to initiate healthy snacking!

Don’t worry, we aren’t going to take away the delicious aspect of the snack. Instead of taking away something we are going to add some qualifications. There are three qualifications, among others, that should help you pick a healthy snack. Of course, there can be other criteria out there for picking healthy food, but we’re focusing on these three.

The first qualification of a healthy snack must coincide with your own health. This means making sure you choose snacks that you are not allergic to, and that do not specifically have a negative effect on your health. For instance, if you have diabetes, do not choose snacks with high concentrations of sugar. Or if your doctor has ordered you to stay away from spicy or other certain types of foods, then do not eat them—no matter how much you like them.

The second qualification of a healthy snack is energy producing. If you are watching a game, you certainly don’t want to fall asleep on it. So, find snacks that keep you motivated and ready to go. Some examples of snacks that help preserve energy are whole grains, fruit, dried fruits, nuts, and yogurt. Incorporating these into your snacking regimen will help you keep up with game outcomes.

The third qualification of a healthy snack is fat burning. There is no reason to pick up the pounds while your favorite team picks up the ball. You should be burning calories, while your home team burns their opponent! Believe it or not, there are some snacks that help burn fat. These snacks tend not to have a lot of calories in the first place and are easy to burn through.

Fat burning snacks or snacks with small amounts of calories, usually do not take up much room in the stomach. So, it allows you to eat without getting too full or uncomfortable while watching your game. These are also foods like fruits and vegetables. Though high protein foods like grilled chicken may have a heavier load in calories, they can boost your metabolism and help you burn calories if clean.

All in all, go for snacks that keep you going and healthy. Try not to go for the usual fattening foods that can add on more calories or even contribute negatively to health. We are not saying to never eat those kinds of snacks, but instead use some restraint and add healthier options into the mix. You may like the results and feel a difference as a result of healthy snacking.

The EE 411: Some Snacking Ideas

Peanut Butter and Bananas
Yogurt or parfait cups
Grilled chicken (bites) with a dipping sauce
Almonds, or any kind of nuts or seeds
Popcorn (easy on the butter and salt)
Humus
Turkey clubs
Pretzel chips
Lentil chips/crackers
Granola bars
Fruits: apples, grapes, bananas, oranges, and blueberries
Fresh veggies with favorite dipping sauce
Party Mix
Trail Mix
Shrimp (not deep fried)
Smoked Salmon
Tortillas & Salsa
Guacamole
Sushi
Kabobs

Healthy Lifestyle – Stress Defined

Hey Earth’s Enrichers

Hey Earth’s Enrichers, what exactly do you know about stress? On a superficial note, you know stress is uncomfortable, unfavorable, and makes a day seemingly longer than necessary. You know that it can cause tension in the body, which leads to other forms of discomfort like headaches, muscle pains, and even nausea. We already have tools and means of relieving stress but how is stress defined. What is stress? What causes it? What types of stress are there? What are its short-term and long-term effects? These are things you deserve to know!

What is stress?

Stress is the reaction the body has to being thrown off its homeostasis (balanced) network. It can have mental effects, which affect a person’s ability to function in everyday tasks. It can be a temporary but reoccurring state of the body. It can corrupt a person’s ability to deal with daily issues because the problem solving function is being corrupted by unfavorable distractions. It can also have physical effects on the body. These effects are usually unintentional on your behalf because you are not purposely causing your body pain. For instance, have you ever noticed yourself grinding your teeth or all of a sudden your neck starts to hurt out of the blue. This could be attributed to stress.

What causes stress?

In simplest terms, stress can be caused by stressors. These could be anything from a certain individual to an accumulation of tiresome or irritating events. Anxiety can also play a big role in causing stress. In response to that stress, the body has what is called a stress response (go figure). These are mental, physical, or behavioral changes that take place because of the stressor.

What types of stress are there?

To be more specific about the type of stressors and what may cause stress, eustress and distress are two different types of stress. Eustress are stressors that are positive and promote improved quality in different aspects of life. Distress is not all that great, this is caused by negative stress. This can be counterproductive and harmful.

What are short term and long term effects of stress?

Stress can cause short-term and long-term effects on the body. These effects vary on individual health. Some examples of short-term effects are migraines (headaches), backaches, neck aches, mood swings, and hyperventilation. Chronic stress, which is stress that can be detrimental to your health, can have serious long-term effects. These effects could range from heart disease, chronic pain, depression, and even reduction in the body’s resistance to diseases. It could worsen already existing illness as well like MS, blood pressure, and anxiety.

The EE 411: Stress – Looking After Your Environment

Now that you have a deeper understanding of what stress is and its effects, it’s time to apply some solutions to stress situations:

Laughter goes a long way- find your favorite comedy, or check out your favorite comical blog. It will help you relax because laughter releases endorphins into the body.
Detox- select a nice time of the day and produce a comfortable environment for yourself. For example, if you like long baths, you should take one. Include in your bath water bath salts. Not only will the bath salts relax and release tension from your body, but the scent that they provide is also good aromatherapy which de-stresses the mind. If you’re more of an active person, turn on your favorite music and jam. Make space for me time!
Re-evaluate your work load making sure you can physically and mentally handle everything you sign up for. If you can’t, it may be time to let some things go for your own benefit.
Take some time to do yoga and meditate; it can help you make time to think about the next few steps in your life.

Health and Living – Environmental Health

Hey Earth’s Enrichers

Ladies and Gentlemen, the six principles of heath are coming to an end. However, this does not mean that you have to forget all that we have shared with you. So here is a quick review of the five principles we have introduced. The first principle we covered was physical health, which represents the body’s health and refers to anything that benefits your body’s physical fitness, safety, nutrition, and medical responsibility.

The second principle was intellectual health, which represents the mind and keeping it well feed and active. The third was spiritual health, which means having a purpose or deeper meaning in life. The fourth was emotional health, which is the ability to cope with stress and achieve/maintain self-esteem. The fifth was social health, which is the making and conservation of meaningful interpersonal relationships. Our grand finale, the sixth principle of health, is environmental health.

When you think of the environment, what comes to mind? Pollution? The place in which you live? Let’s put it like this: environmental health is the effect the environment has on you and the effect you have on the environment. That’s right. In this health principle you have a direct responsibility to the planet. Believe it or not, what you do for the environment can directly affect the environment of those around you.

This affect you have on the environment can be a positive one or a negative one. Remember, you do have a choice. For instance, if you have something you’re finished with and it leaves behind trash find the proper way to dispose of it. It may not seem like much but your contribution could lead others to make better decisions as well.

Now, here is where you have to be careful of the environment as a whole. When living in certain places there are certain things about those places that you know aren’t safe. For instance, in some places it is not so healthy to drink the water directly from the faucet. On another note, it may not be healthy to go down that dark deserted alley on your way home.

This vital part of environmental health is knowing your environment. Do research to find out what you can and cannot do. Also, look into where you can find a farmers’ market and organic and healthy products. That way you are not falling into unhealthy eating habits. Find out the safer and open areas to exercise and increase fitness.

This principle of heath requires that you look after your own health and consider other’s health around you. It’s a way to personally have a positive impact on your neighbors and the environment itself. Looking after the environment will help look after you in the long run- you deserve it and your peers deserve it as well!

The EE 411: Looking After Your Environment

Recycle
Put your trash away the right way (making sure it is all in the garbage can)
Clean the gutters
Plant Plants
Dispose of electronics properly – Did you know that electronics like headphones are supposed to be disposed of in a particular way? They can also be recycled.
Conserve energy- unplug the things you are not using.
Ride your bike to places you need to go (conserve energy, reduce pollution, and perfect physical activity).
Check leaky faucets.

These are simple things you can do yourself that can positively affect your environment. Using organic products can help reduce the amount of chemicals you use. Chemical waste is a big part of the environment. Buying products that are produced with chemical and artificial preservatives is not the best things for you. Look after yourself. Your body is your fortress- so protect it!
