Lockdown locks Salons are open (three cheers!) but for some of us, a weekly or even monthly visit isn’t possible. Here are the products we’re using at home. Two Oceans has an excellent, affordable range of hair care products, and during lockdown, we’ve been using Two Oceans Keratin + Argan Range - Hydra Smooth. There’s a smooth shampoo which hydrates, shines and softens your hair and scalp. Infused with antioxidants to deeply condition and revive your hair for soft, glossy results, we found our hair soft and moisturised. The conditioner is infused with vegetable-derived keratin and argan oil, which is naturally rich in vitamins E, F, A & C, so helps to replenish and condition. R99.95 each for a massive 1000ml, from Dis-Chem, Pick n Pay and Checkers. Vegan, made with 100 per cent natural cold-pressed oils, free from all things artificial ... the new Nature Box range is really fabulous. Priced from R100 from takealot.com 14 Get It Magazine <strong>Oct</strong>ober <strong>2020</strong> If you want to look as if you’ve just stepped out of the salon, you really do need to use the right tools. And there’s nothing better than the new ghd Helios professional hairdryer. Light and fast, it offers ultra-powerful drying and ultimate styling control ... exactly what we want. Features include technology for reduced frizz and flyaways, a cool shot button for a quick blast of air to fix your style, a contoured nozzle for a concentrated airflow - and it’s really quiet, too. It comes in four colours - black, navy, white and this rich, deep burgundy, and costs R2900 from hair salons. An exceptionally good buy ... great quality, and these dryers last forever. And while we’re using a ghd (at every opportunity!), we rave, too, about the Heat Protect Spray (R280), the Smooth and Finish Serum (a lifesaver for those of us with frizz, R280), and the classic Paddle Brush, for mid to long hair ... its broad, flat base lets you blow-dry large sections of hair smooth and straight (R400).

How to eat less by eating more protein There are lots of reasons to eat protein at breakfast. Protein helps keep you full and satisfied until lunch. And a new study suggests it might even help curb snacking at night. If you keep up with the latest in dietary advice, you can probably list a few reasons why protein is such an important nutrient. It’s necessary, of course, to help you build and maintain your muscle mass. And it’s also known to be a much better at filling you up than either fat or carbohydrate. That’s why we suggest that people aim to have a good source of protein at each meal or snack. The idea is simply this high-carb meals don’t stay with you, while higher protein meals can help control hunger from one meal to the next. But here’s something else. A recent study suggests that a high protein breakfast not only helps control your appetite until the next meal, it might reduce unhealthy snacking in the evening. How protein measures up Adolescents are notorious breakfast-skippers, and that’s associated with weight gain. Researchers at the University of Missouri studied the effects of different breakfast meals in 20 overweight teenage girls—who typically ate breakfast no more than twice a week. The girls were asked to do the following ... one week, they skipped breakfast each day, one week they had a high-protein breakfast every day (35 grams), and one week they had a lower protein breakfast every day (13 grams). What the researchers wanted to know was how the different meals affected their appetite, hunger levels between meals, food cravings and evening snacking. To measure all these things, the girls completed questionnaires about their level of hunger and satisfaction during the day, and they had brain scans just before dinner. The scans allowed the researchers to see how certain areas of the brain responded - in particular, those that are involved in food cravings - when the girls were shown pictures of appealing foods. Then the girls went home with advertorial a cooler full of goodies, a huge assortment of salty snacks, candy, ice cream, fruit, pizza, macaroni and cheese. And they were told they could eat as much as they wanted during the evening. When all was said and done, the high-protein breakfast had several advantages over the low-protein one (and certainly over no breakfast at all). For one thing, the girls said the high-protein breakfast was more filling - no surprise there. But during the week that they ate the high-protein breakfast, their brain activity was different. There was less activity in the areas of the brain responsible for food cravings, and the girls ate less high-fat, high-sugar foods after dinner. This is an interesting twist on the whole story. It suggests that a high-protein breakfast not only helps keep you full until lunch but may even help curb your intake over the course of the day. Getting in 35 grams of protein at one time, as they did in the study, might be a bit of a challenge. But you can get close—25 grams is actually fairly easy to do. Up your breakfast protein Here are some meals to try, all of which will give you about 25 grams of protein. • A protein shake with non-fat milk. A portion of milk provides about 10 grams of protein, and you can adjust the protein powder in your shake to boost it up • A portion of plain non-fat cottage cheese with fruit and a handful of almonds • An omelette made with two whole eggs or four egg whites, filled with veggies and an ounce of low-fat mozzarella cheese • Rolled oats cooked in non-fat milk with protein powder and a dab of almond butter added after cooking. • 100% whole grain toast, topped with non-fat cream cheese and 85 grams smoked salmon. Visit myherbalifebreakfast.co.za for more ideas on how to make breakfast a breeze. Of course, this is only one recent study, and its conclusions are not yet the state of the science on this topic. But there is good support in the scientific literature for the general proposition that protein intake under the right circumstances produce feelings of satiety.
