chronic dandruff is gone!!
« on: May 25, 2010, 08:52:22 PM »
I didn't know where to put this thread.   Anyway,
I thought some sly bros would find this helpful.

For the past 10 years I have had dandruff EVERY season, basically every day.
When I wash my scalp the dandruff goes away, but in the evening my head itches
and the dandruff is there.   I went to my family doctor but nothing that was recommended worked. :(

About 22 months ago, I began shaving my head, usually twice a week.  That seemed to keep the
dandruff away.  If I did not shave for more than 4 days I would get it again.   :(

For the past 8 months, I have been very busy with university studies.  As such I found it inconvenient to
shave (slow at shaving  :D), so I shaved only once a week.   My scalp would become dry by day 5 or 6 and it
itched a lot. 

Well folks, for the past 25 days or so, praise be to God, my scalp has been free of dandruff.
About two months ago, I began consuming more fruits and completely eliminated any intake of junk foods.
For the past 2 months, 75 to 80% of my calories have come from carbs in organic fruits and vegetables, about 10% fat and 10% protein.

I never thought changing your diet could help that much.  Maybe it's too early to tell.  Maybe
it was not the diet. 
 I will keep updating this thread every month.
Cheers.

 That's great!  Makes me wonder what other benefits there might be to eating like that.   O0

Another reason to eat well.
Way to go Math Guy!

Sure Magoo.
I eat 3 meals.  Once my studies are done (in 2 days!!!!)  I will have time to eat more frequently, hopefully
eating 4 or 5 smaller meals a day.

Breakfast: peanut butter sandwich (on whole wheat bread), or mozzarella cheese sandwich, or some La Vache kiri cheese on whole wheat bread.   I drink organic cow milk or natural spring water.

Snack:  Almonds or Walnuts.  Do a search on health benefits of almonds.  They are a precious gift indeed.

Lunch:  I tend to try one of the following
            (1) 3 bananas, one peach 
            (2) one organic apple, 2 bananas
            (3) 3 peaches, one banana
            (4)3 handfuls of of organic grapes
            (5) Some organic tomatoes only
             (6) one organic apple and a smoothie (papaya smoothies, strawberry smoothie, banana-papaya smoothie,etc.)
             (7) 4 handfuls of strawberries, one banana
             (8  half a cucumber, two handfuls of organic grapes

As you will note, my lunch is 100% fruits and vegetables, nothing else.  I have found that this gives me so much energy during the day.

Dinner (somewhere between 4 to 5 p.m.):  This is the part where I eat foods that are not necessarily healthy.  :).    For dinner, I may have two plates of whole wheat pasta,  or rice with roasted chicken and salad,  or rice and some soup, cooked veggies, baked potatoes, etc.    I eat a large salad with all the unhealthy foods I eat during dinner to hopefully cancel out any undesirable effects.

Around 7:30 p.m.:  SMOOTHIE time.  This is when I drink two full glasses of a smoothie, preferably green smoothies.  For great recipes do a search on google.   Easy to make, taste is great, and it's very healthy!!! 

cheers.

Hey Magoo,
Please do try it.   Let me know how it goes.  Keep me updated every week or two.
If you need more suggestion on what to eat you can pm me.

I wanted to also say, eat watermelon!!!  I sometimes have just watermelon and a few almonds
for lunch.   Also, try drinking smoothies that contain fruits and ice cubes or water.  Avoid the smoothies
that contain yogurt or juice.  I have tried those and I could tell my body wasn't happy with it.
