    Did you say 3 n 8 yes old?? My, my you really do look good trust me. Well I'm still struggling to keep weight off so i can't say anything Abt maintenance. My stomach area is the most biggest part of my body, and I'm still trying to figure out what will work for me as per size reduction cos just like you, the sit ups, crunches etc does not do the job.

Nutrient Deficiencies : Weight loss medications that suppress appetite or alter how your body absorbs nutrients (e.g., orlistat) might lead to deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals like biotin, zinc, iron, or protein, which are crucial for healthy hair growth. 2. Rapid Weight Loss : Significant or rapid weight loss itself, whether aided by medication or not, can trigger telogen effluvium , a temporary form of hair shedding caused by physical or emotional stress on the body. 3. Hormonal Changes : Some medications may indirectly affect hormone levels, which could impact hair growth cycles. 4. Specific Drug Effects : Certain medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide), may list hair loss as a rare side effect due to changes in metabolic o...

Why You Should Not Rosemary Oil on Baby’s Hair?

Image
  It’s generally not recommended to use rosemary oil on infants, as their skin is more sensitive, and certain essential oils can cause irritation or even adverse reactions. Rosemary oil, in particular, may be too potent for young children and infants. It can also be toxic if ingested or improperly used, and there are concerns that it could potentially cause respiratory issues or allergic reactions.

Always opt for oils specifically formulated for infants and make sure to dilute them appropriately before use. Some oils are safer and more commonly used for infants, like lavender, but again, always get professional guidance.
