Losing your hair is one of the most dreadful things you can go through as a man or woman; a professional like an account or lawyer or blue collar worker like a plumber or decorator.
Sometimes these causes are reversible however sadly there are also permanent reasons for going through male pattern baldness which can’t be easily restored.
Here are some popular reasons why your hair may be falling off.
Stress
Any sort of physical trauma, an auto collision, or an extreme disease, even the flu can cause brief hair loss. This can trigger a sort of male pattern baldness called telogen effluvium. Hair has a customized life cycle: a development stage, rest stage and shedding stage. “When you have a truly upsetting occasion, it can stun the hair cycle, (pushing) more hair into the shedding stage,” clarifies Marc Glashofer, MD, a Hair Transplant Surgeon in Birmingham for My Hair Transplant Clinics. Male pattern baldness frequently winds up noticeably perceptible three to six months after the injury.
What to do: fortunately hair will begin becoming back as your body recoups.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy is one case of the kind of physical anxiety that can cause male pattern baldness (that and hormones). Pregnancy-related male pattern baldness is seen all the more normally after your infant has been conveyed instead of really amid pregnancy. “Conceiving an offspring is entirely awful,” says Dr. Glashofer.
What to do: If you do encounter male pattern baldness, rest guaranteed that your hair will come back in two or three months. “It’s an ordinary thing and it will work out,” Dr. Glashofer says.
An excess of vitamin A
Exaggerating vitamin A-containing supplements or medicines can trigger male pattern baldness, as indicated by the American Academy of Dermatology. The Daily limit for vitamin A is 5,000 International Units (IU) every day for grown-ups and kids over age 4; supplements can contain 2,500 to 10,000 IU.
What to do: This is a reversible reason for male pattern baldness and once the overabundance vitamin A is stopped, hair ought to develop typically.
Absence of protein
In the event that you don’t get enough protein in your eating routine, your body may apportion protein by closing down hair development, as indicated by the American Academy of Dermatology. This can occur around a few months after a drop in protein admission, they say.
What to do: There are numerous awesome wellsprings of protein, including fish, meat, and eggs. In the event that you don’t eat meat or creature items there are several plant based proteins you can consume.
Male Pattern Baldness
Around two out of three men encounter male pattern baldness by age 60, and more often than not it’s because of male pattern baldness. This kind of male pattern baldness, caused by a combo of genetic and male sex hormones, more often than not takes after a great example in which the hair retreats at the sanctuaries, leaving an M-moulded hairline.
What to do: There are topical creams like Minoxidil (Rogaine) and oral prescriptions, for example, finasteride (Propecia) that can stop balding or even reason some to develop; surgery to transplant or unite hair is likewise an alternative.
Heredity
Female hairloss, called androgenic or androgenetic alopecia, is essentially the female adaptation of male pattern baldness. “On the off chance that you originate from a family where ladies began to have male pattern baldness at a particular age, at that point you may be more inclined to it,” says Dr. Glashofer. Not at all like men, ladies don’t have a tendency to have a retreating hairline, rather their part may broaden and they may have observable diminishing of hair.
What to do: Like men, ladies may profit by Minoxidil (Rogaine) to help develop hair, or if nothing else, keep up the hair you have, Dr. Glashofer says. Rogaine is accessible over-the-counter and is recommended for ladies with this kind of balding.
Intuition is very hard to define.It’s something which is inevitably present among people, and which serves to give us subtle guidance in the things we do. And no matter how much you are or aren’t in touch with your intuition, you will notice yourself being led by it in times when you need it most.
However, there’s a number of people who possess high intuitive skills and they let this high intuition lead their lives to achieve flawless results. These individuals trust their gut feeling and they seem to do the right thing at the right moment every time.
If you are one of them, you will agree that these 11 things are what you do differently from those who aren’t in touch with their intuition as much as you are:
You trust your inner voice unconditionally
The inner voice which comes as a hunch or a gut feeling is what highly intuitive people have tuned into and will listen to every time it speaks.
A highly intuitive person will know that this voice will always lead them to a solution to a problem, or will lead them out of trouble at the right moment – and it’s always right!
You tend to spend time alone
No matter how busy their lives may be, the highly intuitive person will always have some alone time in their day. They respect being with themselves and listening to their own silence, as they are aware that this silence speaks a lot more than any sound. In these moments, they connect to their deepest and innermost wisdom.
You are creative
Creativity is the fruit of intuition. A highly intuitive person is also a highly creative one. These people like spending time thinking up of the most creative ideas and activities. And the more they nurture their creativity, the greater their intuition becomes (and vice versa).
You practice mindfulness
Consciously or not, everything you do, you do with a lot of mindfulness involved in it. The highly intuitive person is almost always aware of the whole experience and every part of it.
And of course, if you are able to pay attention to what’s happening inside of you, then it won’t be hard at all to notice anything else around you.
You can’t help observing everything
Not only do highly intuitive people experience everything with all their senses, but they also tend to observe everything around them. Part consciously and out of curiosity, and part unconsciously, the highly intuitive person will eventually notice everything.
You are in touch with your body
A highly intuitive person is able to observe everything which is happening in their body – and hence the gut feeling which many don’t take seriously.
They know when they need a certain kind of food, and they can feel when something is wrong with their health.
You can connect with others on a deeper level
High intuition is closely related to empathy, as the power of observance that the intuitive person possesses can easily be directed to the intuitive ability. This allows them to connect with those around them on a much deeper level and understand them intuitively.
You pay more attention to your dreams
Being able to decipher the signals from your subconscious allows you to remember and analyze your dreams more easily.
The highly intuitive person follows up on their dreams the first thing in the morning and spends some time thinking about them and trying to figure out the message their subconscious has been trying to send.
You dedicate a lot of down time to recharge
The hectic lives we live wear our intuition down, simply because we lose touch with ourselves. The highly intuitive person will automatically do everything necessary to take a break from all that stress and recharge. How do they know when they need their down time? Intuition.
You mindfully let the negative emotions go
Being in touch with such heightened intuition is a gift which allows the bearer to masterfully realize and let go of any negative emotions that would otherwise cloud the intuition. Intuition brings a subtle insight into the events and the emotions that revolve around them. And this insight brings clarity and the ability to let go.
You know things before you find the definition for them
A lot of information that comes to the intuitive person is something which may have already been understood and defined. However, any information is useful only when you really need it.
The highly intuitive person will come to this information with no effort, and the surprise is very satisfying when they learn that they came to it before having read about it.
There is one problem that has been talked about for quite some time now with such urgency, and yet some people still not perceive it as a real problem. You probably have heard about it on the news, or have read about it in newspapers and social media.
The headlines and phrases they use usually go like this: “There is a need for foster parents”; “The country is in a deep crisis”; “Children are brought far away from their home because there is a shortage of foster homes to take them,” and so on.
No matter how urgent and critical the situation seems when you hear something like this, you could not help but wonder: Where are all these kids? Why don’t you see them? You are not wrong for asking yourself these questions – they are valid and necessary.
And what’s interesting is that the answers to these questions are more simple and obvious than you think. All you need to do is take a look at the events happening near you or the news you read and watch on local media.
For instance, those arrests for domestic violence or drug dealing, the violent attacks and murders in families usually include children.
Those children are innocent – that’s why they are rarely mentioned on the news. But the sad reality is that children are victims caught in the middle of the incidents, and oftentimes they lose their parents and have no place to go.
The media only gives information about people directly involved in the events – they show the shooting, the attacks, the arrests…
However, they don’t show children who are left homeless, or without one or two parents.
They don’t show the children’s screaming as they are being involuntarily dragged out of their homes while social workers carry hastily their clothes in garbage bags.
They do not show on TV the loud screaming and crying of the children who are involuntarily taken from the only family they know and love.
You are not aware of it unless you become a foster parent. Only then you will start to realize how serious and common this problem actually is.
You will begin to feel really bad and feel sorry for these children who have nowhere else to go. So, you start asking yourself: Is there something you can do to help them?
If you are one of the kind-hearted people out there, and if you want to help, there are some things that you may be able to do that will be of huge help for these children:
1. Start by sharing this post so that you can raise awareness on this subject;
2. Find out if there is someone near you that is already fostering. Foster parents rarely mention this subject, so you will be surprised to discover that there are many of them, and some even in your neighborhood. Let them know that you will support them and help them with the next child that enters their home;
3. Bring them a meal and paper plates. Do not ask if they need this – they do. Be curious about what they usually eat and when and just bring the food 30 minutes before the meal. If you are not able to bring the food yourself, call a delivery restaurant, order the food, and arrange it to bring the food to the foster parents 30 minutes before their usual time of lunching or dining;
4. Help the foster parents with doing the laundry. Wash the laundry, dry it, and bring it back to them;
5. Do grocery shopping for them;
6. Offer to babysit the other children while the foster parents are taking the new kid to the hospital for all first week’s medical appointments;
7. Make a list of the things that the child needs and provide those things for them;
8. Attend a class at your local DCS to learn more about foster parenting;
9. Get a “respite” license – that is a license for you to be able to take care of a foster kid for a week or less;
10. Don’t forget to ASK! Always keep asking the foster parents what they need and what you can do to support them. Many times there are not many things you can do, but your interest and will to help are encouraging for them. Plus, the more you show interest they will begin to trust you more and will call you if a need arises.
Many theories suggest that the mightiest governments in the world hold secrets that could potentially change the way we see the world. From the idea that they cover up alien encounters to the supposed research in advanced and superior technologies that have the power to change the world, many of these theories have been dismissed as soon as they have emerged.
We won’t get too much into whether such theories are just figments of imagination or something to be taken a bit more seriously. Instead, we will focus more closely on one experiment which has left many baffled and has become the stuff of urban legends.
The USS Eldridge, a Cannon-class destroyer, will remain as perhaps one the most mysterious ships in history that, according to witnesses, disappeared into thin air. As the main object of the Philadelphia Experiment, the ship was intended to be enveloped in a force field that would render it invisible, both to radar and to the naked eye.
According to sayings, this experiment had been seen by hundreds of people taking place in front of their very own eyes on October 28, 1943. But these claims have since been dismissed and the stories were covered up – thus reducing every evidence of the event to mere whispers.
Officially, the US Navy denies that such experiment has ever taken place. A top-secret technology research, or a stuff of science fiction? Let’s look into the facts that surround the mystery of this experiment and decide for yourselves.
THE INVISIBLE SHIP
This fascinating experiment has long been a thing of urban legends and conspiracy theories. The research behind this experiment was done in order to create a technology that would grant “invisibility” to the US Navy ships from mines and torpedoes.
They wanted to achieve this by reducing and bending the magnetic fields around the ships and they did conduct this research at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Relating to this project, the USS Timmerman was equipped with a high-frequency generator that could create discharges which would disrupt the magnetic field.
It is a fact that these experiments took place in the 1940s, and this part of the story is nothing but fact. As for the rest…
MORRIS K. JESSUP
It wasn’t until Morris K. Jessup that the Philadelphia Experiment was considered as a mere story and rumors spread by the people to warn others against the actual might of the government and the numerous secret projects that were carried out by the US Military back then.
However, after publishing his The Case for the UFO book, Jessup started receiving letters which spoke of Einstein, electromagnetic forces, and secret Navy projects. In this series of letters, the mysterious sender also spoke about the Philadelphia Experiment.
Jessup’s death in 1959 was ruled a suicide, and he became a legendary figure in the complex tale of the Philadelphia Experiment ever since.
CARL ALLEN
As the mysterious person behind the Jessup letters, who wrote under the alias Carlos Allende, Carl Allen described in full length his testimony of the Philadelphia Experiment. Allen describes how, while he was serving aboard the SS Andrew Furuseth, the USS Eldridge suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the water before him.
He is considered by many as the originator of the story of the Philadelphia Experiment. However, William Dodge, the captain of the SS Andrew Furuseth, disputed Allen’s claims, adding that not only did he or his crew not notice anything peculiar in Norfolk, but that the ship wasn’t even in Norfolk at the time of the supposed appearance.
Allen’s claims have since been completely discredited by skeptics, and he was called insane, suffering from severe mental issues.
THE FIRST EXPERIMENT
The Philadelphia Experiment wasn’t a single event. While the most famous one is the second, the first experiment happened earlier that year on July 22.
According to those who claimed to have seen it happen, in the first experiment, the USS Eldridge vanished into thin air and reappeared at the same spot only moments later. So, what happened to the ship, and where did it go? That’s where the second part of the experiment comes in.
THE SECOND EXPERIMENT
Of course, there would be no use in making a ship disappear, if you can’t actually do something with it. Well, according to eyewitnesses, the Navy did do something with it.
As part of the second experiment, the USS Eldridge did not only gain its invisibility, but it allegedly appeared out of nowhere in the waters of Norfolk, Virginia on October 28, 1943.
According to witness reports, the ship suddenly materialized in the waters, only to disappear again moments later. It seems that the Navy succeeded in not only successfully making the ship disappear, but also in finding a way to move it 300 miles away while invisible.
EINSTEIN’S UNIFIED FIELD THEORY
This theory is often cited to be standing behind the technology of the Eldridge’s disappearing act. Einstein tried to find a way to combine gravity and electromagnetism into one theory.
Not being content with the idea that gravity and electromagnetism are two completely independent fields of each other, Einstein spent the last years of his life working on the Unified Field Theory.
However, Einstein never succeeded in proving his theory. In fact, he never finished his work on the theory, which he was working on until his death. So, how does it connect to the Philadelphia Experiment?
Although accepted science doesn’t offer a completion to the theory, believers claim that the Navy must have had a scientist who managed to complete Einstein’s work and crack the scientific code behind the theory – resulting in a practical application in the Philadelphia Experiment.
THE BAR FIGHT
Another part of the legend of the Philadelphia Experiment is the almost anecdotal and utterly bizarre bar fight, during which two of the sailors involved in the experiment suddenly vanished into thin air.
Based on witness sayings and originally sourced in Allen’s letters addressed to Jessup, this tale is just one of the many strange events that surround the Philadelphia Experiment Allen described in his letters.
However, except for the letters, there has been no legitimate publication or a second credible witness to this event.
THE SIDE EFFECTS
The bar fight was just one of the odd events that surround the Philadelphia Experiment. A far more serious claim has been that of the serious effects the disappearing ship had on the crew. This was one of the alleged reasons as to why the technology was abandoned.
Namely, it has been said that the event had traumatic effects on the crew members, some of who went insane beyond repair and violently ill. Another claim was that after the ship re-appeared, several sailors were found gruesomely fused with the ship.
AL BIELEK (a.k.a. Ed Cameron)
If you thought the narrative around the experiment was crazy enough, it couldn’t get much wilder than Al Bielek’s alleged account of the event. His story goes that he was diving into the waters around the ship with his brother the day when the experiment took place.
According to his claims, not only did he see the effects of the experiment, but that he and his brother Duncan were allegedly teleported into the future, in the year 2137. After a period of two years in the future, he was then returned back to the year 1983.
He has even written two books that describe his experiences. He was dismissed by skeptics as being a complete fraud, an attention seeker, and plain crazy.
THE OFFICIAL STORY
Besides all the stories and supposed eyewitness accounts, the US Navy categorically denies that the Experiment has ever happened.
The fact that the USS Eldridge was in Philadelphia and Norfolk, Virginia on the same day is accounted for the fact that the Navy had access to a channel which was not used by other ships and which allowed the ship to travel that distance in 6 hours, which is by 30 hours faster than the conventional time needed for merchant ships.
The Navy has stated that they had never made a ship disappear, nor could they make one disappear, and that the story surrounding the Philadelphia Experiment was just a weird combination of theories, legend, and the fact that they were indeed working on technology to make their ships “invisible” to German-made electromagnetic weapons.
However, even if the Navy did have the technology that could make their ships invisible to the naked eye, it would be understandable that they would deny it.
SHIP’S RECORDS
The USS Eldridge naval logs tell a much different story than that of the alleged accounts. According to the logs, the ship was neither in Philadelphia nor in Norfolk at any time in October 1943.
The logs state that the ship was in fact in Bermuda for the first half of the month, after which it sailed for three days toward New York, where it stayed for the remainder of October.
Conspiracy theorists will immediately tell you that any ship log can be easily manipulated and faked by simply writing different information. And the fact that nobody can view a ship that is invisible to prove its actual movement, it doesn’t really need to keep track of its movement.
THE FATE OF THE ELDRIDGE
The fate of the USS Eldridge was relatively short-lived. According to official records, the ship was sent to Greece in 1951, where it was renamed to HS Leon. There, it was engaged in various Cold War missions, after which it was decommissioned and eventually sold off as scrap.
The ship was in service for 50 years since its official launch and although it doesn’t exist any longer, it will always remain shrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories.
THE 1999 REUNION
In 1999, there was a special reunion of the USS Eldridge former crew members, 15 of whom attended. The reunion was filled with jokes and laughs about the stories that surround the Philadelphia Experiment, with the ex-crew members denying to have ever taken part in any secret projects during their time on the Eldridge.
The feelings of the crew members regarding the theories are mixed, with some feeling genuine annoyance and others being genuinely amused by the stories. One sailor even went on fooling people that he had actually disappeared, just until they realized that he was just teasing them.
The fact is that all 15 sailors were puzzled as to why their ship had been a target of such wild theories and stories and some were rather annoyed by the questions they had kept on getting about it.
One sailor said in amusement that he enjoyed the myth that his crew has gone a little crazy.
BEING INVISIBLE
The idea of invisibility has long fascinated humanity. It is present in pop culture, which is littered with heroes like the Invisible Man, the Invisible Woman, Harry Potter and his invisibility cloak, Frodo and the Ring, and the countless illusionists who have managed to trick people into believing that they have vanished into thin air.
However, this idea has also been a thing of focus in the military technology, with the invention of the first stealth jet by Germany in 1944. Rumor has it that the Nazis had been developing other forms of invisibility technology too and that the U.S. was trying to get a hold of it.
Perhaps they did.
WHEN THE GOVERNMENT LIES
The idea that one could make a 9,000 ton, 500 feet long, and a firepower-packed object disappear into thin air seems like a plain figment of imagination that could make a good Sci-Fi movie, a book rich with mysteries, or a funny TV show reference.
However, even if the Government could accomplish such feat, they would be crazy to admit it. But then again, many wild conspiracy theories were proven to be actually very true.
Only as a scratch from the immense surface of these theories can be the fact that they did carry out a syphilis study, in which they denied hundreds from the medicine. The Government also carried out chemical weapons tests on its own citizens, and the CIA did try to train cats to be spies during the Cold War.
So, as much as the Philadelphia Experiment sounds far-fetched, knowing how much the Government has lied and covered up their feats, it wouldn’t be very surprising to learn one day that this too was real.
At the end of a relationship, there is always one person who gets broken hearted. However, sometimes this person is better off without their partner, like in the case of this woman.
The Scene recently confronted two exes in a video that quickly went viral. The woman, who was later identified as Kourtney Jorge, confronted her ex-boyfriend, who cheated on her countless times and wanted to know why he hurt her so much.
There was no dramatic fighting or impulsive reactions of any kind by Kourtney’s side, although many would have definitely done something like that. Instead, Kourtney faced her ex and calmly asked him why he cheated on her.
The boyfriend was also identified once the video went viral. Leonard Long III and Kourtney told their whole love story at the beginning of the video – the way they met and how they became so close in their relationship.
They were best friends. But then, she started reading the messages he was getting from other girls. Once, Kourtney found him with another girl and he asked her to leave. She cried the whole night, but nothing changed.
The most heartbreaking part of the video is the part where Kourtney asks Leonard how many times he has cheated on her. He answered: “I wasn’t counting”. Many people would have reacted dramatically to this, but Kourtney just left the scene to take a moment and calmly returned on the chair.
It is clear that Kourtney was really hurt, and still is. While she listened to him with tears in her eyes, Leonard looked mostly unaffected, although he admitted that it was his fault and put the blame to his commitment issues he had back then.
The internet reacted and many Twitter users expressed their feelings about Leonard, showing their support for Kourtney. Some of them decided to dig deeper into the story and to find Kourtney. Now we know that she is in a happy relationship with someone who treats her right, as she herself posted.
After the confrontation of Kourtney and Leonard, The Scene posted other videos of exes facing each other and shared their stories in a series called Heartbroken.
He may be a college dropout, but he is also one of the richest people in the world. Mark Zuckerberg left his Harvard studies in order to launch and work on a social network that has soon become an online empire.
Indeed, younger generations cannot imagine the world without Facebook and the social network is not going away soon. Instead, it even changes marketing, PR and journalism.
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO and Harvard dropout, addressed the Harvard graduates of class ’17 earlier this year. The Commencement address attracted the attention of the media and Marks’ inspiring statements are still quoted by many.
“I’m an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we’re technically in the same generation,” he said to the graduates at the beginning.
During his speech, he shared what he’s learned about the world. But he also shared some memories of the time when he received the email telling him he was accepted into Harvard.
He recalled the first lecture at the university, which he still remembers and the way he arrived with his T-shirt inside out because he was late. The only person who talked to him on that day now runs a great part of Facebook, Zuckerberg revealed.
And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people, he said.
College is a dear part of his life to him also because he met his wife Priscilla at Harvard, who gave him two children.
When speaking about finding the purpose, he said that just finding your purpose is not enough, but we should rather create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose, which is what creates true happiness. The new generations have the challenge to create a renewed sense of purpose, not only to create new jobs because the old ones are not coming back.
Back in his college days, he couldn’t imagine that he would be one of the people who will connect the whole world, but he wanted someone to do that when he launched the first version of Facebook, which had the aim to connect Harvard community.
He just kept moving forward and didn’t quit and thus he was the change that he was sure someone else will be. His advice to the graduates was to follow his steps and be the change they want to see in the world instead of waiting for someone to do it, because no one will.
Even when he got offers from big companies and everyone was telling him to sell, he was determined to continue to develop his idea because he believed it could change the way people learn about the world.
Zuckerberg also talked about the future of technology, which will inevitably replace tens of millions of jobs. He also motivated graduates to do great new things that will influence the world. It’s important to start, even if you don’t have everything clear in your head yet, he said. And in order to succeed, be prepared to be called crazy and even to fail. Even he failed several times before he created Facebook.
Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla have started the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which is committed to promoting equal opportunities. Wanting to see many more people doing this, Mark motivated Harvard graduates to donate and help others.
Millennials are one of the most charitable generations in history, but Mark was right when he spoke about giving their time, not only money. An hour or two a week is nothing for a student, but it might mean a lot to someone who needs a helping hand.
Zuckerberg also added building community as an important step towards creating a sense of purpose for everyone. Today, it’s most popular to be considered “citizen of the world” rather than citizen of a country or group. However, global community also comes against other forces, such as nationalism and authoritarianism, but Mark believes that change will happen at a local level.
Taking into consideration that he started with a local network which he developed into this global network that connects the world, it’s safe to say we can trust him, don’t you think?
Zuckerberg continues to be an inspiration for youngsters everywhere thanks to his honesty and humbleness, but also his intelligence and ambitions. With his 33 years of age, he is the fifth wealthiest man in the world.
In 2015, he and his wife gave 99% of their Facebook shares to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. He launched Facebook when he was 20.
Redheads are so popular nowadays. Not only are we admiring popular female redheads, but we have started to see male redheads as style icons.
Ed Sheeran and Prince Harry are some. Among the female celebrities that have this hair color there are Nicole Kidman, Lindsey Lohan, Emma Stone and I recall that even Rihanna dyed her hair hot red once.
Apparently, ginger is really hot right now, especially compared to the past. And we are happy for that because there are so many cool facts about redheads that make us adore these people even more.
1. Gingers are really rare. How rare? It is believed that only around 2% of the population has natural red hair. Statistics show that there two countries much higher percent of redheads. Can you guess which two? Of course, it’s Scotland and Ireland.
2. Except being super rare, they are special in another way. Namely, it is thought that they have more sexual action, a German researcher claims. He conducted a research on thousands of women and discovered that redheads had more sexual partners than all the rest. I told you they’re hot, didn’t I?
3. Redheads’ skin absorbs more Vitamin D. Being more pale naturally, they are prone to absorbing more of this vitamin from the sun. Vitamin D is good for the bones and for the immune system, but one should be careful not to stay too long exposed to the sun.
4. Many redheads are also left-handed because both of the genes are recessive, i.e. in order to get a trait expressed by a recessive gene, both of the parents must have it.
5. Apart from skin cancer, gingers also have higher risk of getting Parkinson’s disease. Researchers studied more than 130,000 people in a period of 16 years and discovered that redheads have twice the chances to have this disorder than people with natural black hair.
6. Natural red hair is linked to skin cancer. Namely, these people have higher risk of this type of cancer, or twice as much as the others, International Journal of Cancer reports.
7. Believe it or not, one of the awesome reasons why it’s better to be a redhead is the fact that they can withstand more pain than the rest of the population. Scientists discovered that they have a 25% higher threshold to pain and this trait is linked to a gene mutation.
8. When it comes to pain, doctors also have problems with them when they need to use anesthesia. It’s something connected to the same gene mutation that makes them withstand more pain. It’s good to know this before going to labor because you might need more anesthesia than the normal doze.
9. Many redheads are anxious to go to the dentist, which is weird since we just saw that they withstand more pain. However, their resistance to anesthesia maybe has something to do with this. Statistics show that they’re more likely to skip visits to the dentist.
10. It seems that having red hair makes you special in many ways when it comes to health. Thus, ginger women are more likely to get endometriosis or to be protected from it. Namely, fertile redheads have higher chances to get it, but the chances are lower for infertile redheads. This condition can cause cramping and heavy bleeding.
11. Maybe the most awesome fact about redheads is that they don’t go grey. Instead, they will first go blonde and then white, but never grey because their pigment just fades away.
There is a constant presence of positive and negative energy which surrounds us in everything we do. While we all strive to live as positively and as protected from the negative energies as we can, we can’t always keep our guard up.
And in such cases, we are unaware that we are under attack from the negative energy projected by those around us, or the one we have unconsciously attracted.
And when this negative energy starts running our lives, we usually start feeling miserable and drained.To become aware of this negativity is always the first step of removing it from our lives.
These 10 signs can tell you if you are under attack from these dark energies and we will give you some advice on how to get rid of them:
Constantly feeling drained
An obvious sign of a negative energy attack is the draining effect it has on all of us. And no matter how much sleep you get, no matter how many coffees you drink, you will notice that the feeling of being drained comes from somewhere else.
Losing excitement for the things you usually enjoy
Of course, we all change, but this change is too sudden and quick. You suddenly start losing interest and enthusiasm for the things that make you happy and joyful. And you will know this is not a natural change if you can’t find anything that will make you happy.
Problems with sleeping
The negative energy that attacks you will usually leave you stressed out so much that you will find it hard to fall asleep. The other extreme is an overwhelming sense of tiredness that will force you to sleep more than normally.
Constant feelings of worry
Even when there is nothing in particular that makes you feel worried, this feeling seems to overwhelm your thoughts throughout the day. It’s like a worm that eats you on the inside and you can’t help but feel worried all the time.
You are more susceptible to control from others
You may notice that you have started doing whatever others tell you to do as an automatic response and you have a difficult time saying no. This control from those around you makes you feel even more miserable.
You can’t cope with criticism
Criticism, in all forms, is a means for growth. However, in your vulnerable state, you can’t tell constructive from destructive criticism and both make you feel devastated.
You find it very hard to move out of your comfort zone
The comfort zone is a place where the personality slowly starts to deteriorate. While we all tend to move out of it in order to grow, in this period you will find it very hard to do so. Your constant fear and worry make you want to stay sheltered as much as you can in what you already know.
You start comparing yourself to others more than usual
There are no two same people on this planet, and you know it. However, it seems that your increased focus on the negative side and the fear of being judged makes you compare yourself to others and envy them.
Debilitating stress
Everything around you seems to cause you a lot of stress – it’s like your whole body is electrified with stress and you can’t handle it. The lack of focus on the positive things in your life further enhances this feeling and everything around you loses its charm.
Becoming highly emotional
Your emotions tend to get the best of you this period. Everything around you evokes some deep and disturbing emotions that you can’t cope with. In the end, you find yourself being controlled by them and you can’t do anything to get a hold of yourself.
What to do to get rid of this dark energetic influence?
There is nothing more powerful than a positive thought that can strengthen and improve your perception. However, in this case, you do need a little help from a positive source of energy.
Get out in nature as much and as often you can and go with someone who is positive and caring. Walking in nature is proven to relieve stress and calm the mind, but on an energetic level, it’s even more powerful.
Start focusing on the beauty of things and accept the negativity that surrounds you, as it is here and it’s a part of everyone’s reality. In this period you need to focus more on positive things and try to recognize and distance yourself from the negative things.
This includes negative people and crowded places. You will benefit a lot from some alone time, where you can start reflecting on your thoughts and emotions.
If you have the will, some meditation will help you strengthen your energetic shield and cleanse you from the negativity which has gathered up inside you. Meditation comes in all forms, from a prayer to allowing yourself to think of positive things. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to sit down and close your eyes.
A very simple and empowering form of meditation is the technique of focusing on your breath – and you can do this anywhere. Just start focusing on your breathing and let any thought that comes to your mind to drift away.
When it comes to the people around you, here’s a very good video which can tell you a lot about how to understand them better and remove the negative energy they emit.
You bring your no-bullshit policy and attitude anywhere you go and in every situation. From your work environment to your private, dating world, people who know how to appreciate your honesty are magnetically drawn to you.
Your moodiness counters your pragmatic nature and it can really create confusion among your partners. But once you hook up with that one who can tune into your vibe, your ride-or-die nature starts to shine.
However, your partners will do anything to avoid fighting with you, as you take it to the next level. You go all out and there are no limits when you are pissed off. The intensity is something rarely who can deal with.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: You notice each other across the room and lock eyes instantly – the intense sexual tension leads one thing to another and you quickly become inseparable.
Most Aries-y breakup: You become fed up with their petty dramas they won’t shut up about, and you just dump them wherever… You realize that you don’t need that kind of person and you are already over it.
Your practical nature reflects your dating habits. Your risk-free attitude never allows you to mess with the wrong people and end up in toxic relationships. You wouldn’t bother getting to know someone who is checking you out if you already knew someone who is really interested in you.
And you don’t really care about chemistry, and you would very much prefer to notice that guy who has been asking you out for the last three months.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: Dunno, they kinda stuck around long enough to break you down.
Most Taurus-y breakup: After carefully considering your pro and con list, you finally decide that all that long and tepid dating is something you will there and then.
Gemini: The Adventuresome
You are super easy going and this is what makes you most attractive to those around you. It’s probably because of this that most of your relationships have evolved from platonic to more physical.
You are very fun to date because your date ideas are not something many would come up with. Mini golf? A film festival you are sure no one under 55 would attend? Sure! Absolutely!
People perceive you as someone who is extremely confident, even though you may not be feeling that way all the time, so people sometimes confuse your nervousness with sarcasm.
Your adventurousness and creativity are what makes your partner adore you, but your indecisiveness could easily annoy the sh*t out of some people.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: After years of orbiting each other’s friend circles, it finally hits you that that is the one you’ve been looking for. You don’t hesitate to suggest the first date, and after an hour of your superb conversational skills and irresistible charm, you have them tied around your little finger.
Most Gemini-y breakup: They suggest moving in together, and you can’t really decide whether you want to or not. So, after some thinking and consulting with 18 of your dearest friends, it pops to you that you weren’t that much into them to begin with.
Cancer: The Piquant
You can be a really tough as a partner, and you can’t accept it easily when someone is into you (even when it’s very obvious), which leads to most of your problems. You are most in your element when you’re with people who are on your wavelength, but you should be careful not to end up with a carbon copy of yourself. All that pessimism won’t be healthy at all in the long run, even if it may feel very validating to find someone hating the world the same way you do.
Dating you is a hell of a ride, considering your ability to intensely connect with people, and that is a real turn-on for many. Also, sex with you is, in one word, fantastic. But your biggest enemies are your insecurities and your quick-to-react nature, which can cut off some very good relationships.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: Sulking together somewhere in the corner of a party and hating the same pretentious people, which soon lights up the chemistry between you and turns into love. You don’t give it too much of a brag to your friends, but that ‘whatever’ changes when they see you lighting up when they text you.
Most Cancer-y breakup: They propose marriage to you and you’re like, “Wait, as a friend, right?”
Not that you really wanted to read this, but you’ve been tagged by your friends and here you are! You are a real star, and you aren’t afraid to show it. This magnetic disposition of yours makes so many quickly fall for you.
And you don’t waste your time playing games with them. If someone really likes you, they better show it in a way that everyone will remember! You’d prefer a proposal that remains the talk years after, that will go viral – a wedding that will earn its spot in the tabloids – you get it.
Once someone has earned your attention, you go on to show them what loyalty and affection really mean. And you are quite the flirt with your amazing conversational skills and a real party animal.
Your weak spot is when someone says you’re self-centered, and this will be a problem for whoever said it. But what if you are? You have no problem asking people what they think of you and you don’t have a problem doing that all the time, so it’s no surprise.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: They couldn’t help but notice you and then keep looking at the photos you’ve been tagged in, until they finally got the guts to ask you out.
Most Leo-y breakup: You ended up being late to their Big Event because you lost track of time while taking selfies and obsessing over your Twitter mentions.
Virgo: The Martyr
Your hard-working nature and your tendency to really do your best is what makes your partners fall for you. Your methodical approach to things is especially shown in your love life, and your partners love your sensibility and matureness.
However, you often fear that you may be a bit boring and that you should be a little more spontaneous. But there’s nothing to worry about! In the end, your mate is with you and chose to be with you (you certainly didn’t chase them!).
But your martyr-like intensity in everything you do for your partners will be something many cannot measure up to, and you will eventually end up feeling disappointed. You need to control your tendency to put yourself last and immerse yourself into things you don’t really have to overdo.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: You caught them Snapchatting the same “Scrub Daddy” display you were Snapchatting at the local Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Most Virgo-y breakup: They brought in their friends, who invaded your private space, disrespected it, left a mess behind, and you couldn’t recover from all that.
You need to wake up and stop dating partners so beneath yourself. And you also need to stop apologizing to them all the time. Your tendency to assume that you’re always in the wrong is something many will exploit.
The truth is that you must learn to stand up for yourself and learn that you can’t allow everyone to step over you. While being non-confrontational is good with the right partner, not everyone is the right partner, and they will use this to their own ends.
You possess an amazing charm and a sharp wit that will easily sweep anyone off their feet, so it’s really a wonder how you always feel like you’re in the wrong.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: He kept on ignoring you until he didn’t and now you’re head over heels for each other.
Most Libra-y breakup: You think that you are definitely with ‘the one’until some billionaire catches your attention and you are surprised to find out that you are actually interesting. Anyway, you later dump that fellow for Jake Gyllenhaal, so whatever.
It’s fun to date a Scorpio if you want to explore your masochist side. Haha, joking! But you get the message. Everyone will say that you are one of the best. And yes, you may at first feel skeptical about all of your partner’s friends, but it’s only because you don’t want them dragging your mate with the wrong people.
You are well aware of your intensity, which can be even too much for some people. However, you aren’t afraid to put a lot of hard work in everything you do. This intensity is what makes your partners realize that you are the best in bed, and you are very proud of it.
Your exes are literally scared to the bone by the thought of you.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: You roasted them ruthlessly on Twitter and it went viral.
Most Scorpio-y breakup: You wake up in the morning to find that you’ve been blocked by them literally from everything.
A real firecracker! You are well known for your humor and great charm. In fact, you are by far the funniest one in the group and this along with your charm bring out the sexiest in you.
You choose to always see the best in others, which while it’s good it can also be a bit unrealistic. I mean really, if someone has been a real asshole three times, it probably says something like, they will be an asshole again.
And another thing: you should really stop trying to befriend your exes.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: You crack them up with a funny joke while you’re both struggling with a hard-to-open wine bottle at a party.
Most Sagittarius-y breakup: While searching through their likes tab on Twitter for a meme that you both laughed your brains out, you accidentally notice that they’ve been liking selfies of their ex.
Capricorn: The Mature
Your high sense of responsibility makes you the mom figure in your friend group, and frankly, the one who is in charge in any of your relationships. You just can’t help it! And you do want to be large and in charge.
Your partners love your self-confidence and the trust you put into your relationship. And you are ready to do just about anything for your partner – they just need to mention it, and you are already two steps ahead of it.
It can be a bit difficult for your partner to withstand your snobby and pessimistic side, which can pop out from time to time, but once you get with someone who is on your level (…or, well, close enough) it all becomes a smooth ride.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: You notice them having a hard time choosing between two books by the same author and you know that person is problematic. However, you get to talk about the whole of it together and you kind of hit it off from there.
Most Capricorn-y breakup: You wake up one day and it pops to you: “I can do better.”
Aquarius: The Autonomous
Most of your partners don’t get it: you need your space and there’s nothing you can do about it. But other than that, your deeply caring nature, vigorous loyalty, and endless support make up for your great quality as a partner. However, you won’t waste your time on scrubs. They are canceled the moment they do a wrong step that would piss you off.
And, you are, like really, crazy in bed.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: They were most probably already in love with you, for as long as you can remember, and after an extremely deep and woke conversation it finally hits you that they could most likely be your soulmate.
Most Aquarius-y breakup: You suddenly disappear from their lives.
It’s very sad to realize that all that compassion and love you are able to give is wasted on the jerks you tend to date. It’s probably a good idea to start listening to your friends when they tell you these things about your next squeeze – they’re just trying to protect you.
Your artistic and gentle nature shines the brightest when you get together with someone who knows how to truly appreciate your sensitivity and emotions – and also those Indie slammers you have compiled.
What your partners love most about you is your artistic ability and interests, and the fact that you never cease to amaze them by first introducing them to something new. Your heart is filled with compassion and kindness and you always make people feel good about themselves.
How you’ll meet your soulmate: After both commenting on Instagram photos of a tattoo artist you admire, you start following each other, and one thing leads to another.
Most Pisces-y breakup: You get cheated on, they swear they won’t do it again, you take them back, they don’t change.
