I know this is not related to the topic at hand, but I really enjoyed the part of the video when you were talking about coconut oil and you said, "One thing I really like about myself is....". It struck me how rarely I hear someone say that phrase. It's refreshing to hear someone recognize something they like about themselves and feel comfortable sharing it with others. Thanks!
As a student in medical nutrition i do find this video informative and with some correct information, i would kindly like to point out the minor misconceptions. Dairy and Sugar(complex), should not be cut out of any "diet" they are vital in nutrition (glucose, lactose, fractose, etc) of course it is not the milk and sugar that is making the meal unhealthy it is the foods you accompany it with, (milk with sugar, chocolate, etc) and as far as correct sugars, stay away from simple sugars. Refined sugars, but not sugars all together. (Sugars are found in fruits and vegetables! ) also chewing is very important in digestion, chew thoroughly, to the consistency of apple sauce, this is because your food will then be more nutritional to yourself. Your body has more of a surface area to absorb nutrients, if you chew food for five seconds and swallow, as far as nutritional value, your wasting your time.
I love how you are always smiling. You make me think to myself, "Oh, I want to be as pretty as her one day." And at the same time, your hair looks SO beautiful. Plus, you have great tips for younger people like me.
You ARE a God sent!!! I believe I suffer from low stomache acid as well! I belch ALOT, suffer from hair loss, depressuon, etc. I will be taking your advice on the eating habits and what to add to your diet. May God continue to bless you! Please continue doing what you do! You help so many! Including me. I'm so grateful that I stumbled upon this video!
Mimi - just want to clarify the apple cider vinegar for some people. You are referring to unfiltered, organic, with "The Mother" in it, right? That is what I do, and plain cooking apple cider vinegar will not have the same health benefits and effects. Great video! Cheers!
Mimi, could you do a video about how you eat so healthy? Do you ever feel like you are missing out on experiences by having to say 'no' to so many foods? I am not criticizing but instead looking for advice, thank you!
a few months ago you made a video about hairloss and mentioned the importance of iron,I lost one third of my hair ( yes that much ) in a few weeks ,I knew something was wrong and saw a doctor,she was shocked to see the iron level in my body,she said normally it must be between 40-160,my leve was 3! there is nearly no iron left in my body that's what caused all my hair loss,I was so depressed at the point,I rarely eat meat cause I dislike it,I never eat liver etc,moreover I drink coffee every afternoon and I drink milk at night everyday and I found out that tea,coffee and milk not only does'n contain şron,but also it throws the existing iron from body and even prevents the iron you eat be absorbed by the body,nevertheless I am glad now cause fşnally I know why I lost most of my haiir,in a year it's gonna be ok said the doctor,I hope so,so ladies pay attention to your iron ok :)
Oh my goodness that's terrible! I am so glad you're doing better now!! to help your hair grow back faster you might want to consider these vitamins: hairfinity.com/ingredients.htm -- They have a lot of the things you need for healthy hair everything except iron lol so please make sure you're taking care of your iron!
It says no dairy, however I make cultured yogurt at home using raw unpasteurized milk (you can also buy cultured yogurt at a health food store) and this has really been the most help to me personally with digestion problems. After I started eating about a 1/2 - 1 cup of cultured yogurt after every meal (when I ate meat) I noticed no longer was I having heart burn or indigestion! The apple cider vinegar before meals is also helpful! If I don't have yogurt then I will use apple cider vinegar, vice versa. :) Checking out the links and your cookbook thank you so much for sharing this awesome information and congratulations on the book I cannot wait to check it out!!!
Hi Mimi, the best nutritional book I have ever read is called the China study. It explains hundreds of research studies done on thousands of peoples diets over the past 40 years and explains the implications of what we eat on our health. Before reading it, I had no idea how dangerous dairy was for our bodies, highly recommend it!
I hope you realize you're helping so many people at this moment just by knowing all this stuff about hair and health and sharing it with all your viewers, you're such an amazing person! Greetz from Belgium 3
I like the way that you ALWAYS smile even when you do hair styles and do fast forward in the video you still smile I like people that always smile you cheer me with your smile :)
It's the first time that I m looking at one of her video ! This Lady ( Mimi ) is incredible , i have been amazed by her natural and powerful energy . Thank you. Gianni.
Coconut oil is a Medium chain fatty acid making it different from other saturated fats. It is real good to also rub onto the nails each night and put in the hair an hour before showering.
All the tips that you gave will surely work. Indians generally follows some eating habits which coincides with your tips like water, coconut oil, not to eat on the go, chewing the foods and to pit our brain to think what do we eat. Great research Mimi. Love u so much.
I do the same sort of research that you're talking about absolutely love the kind of passion you have for the same too! It's absolutely charming the way you explain things - you really talk from the bottom of your heart and you're so much involved with what you're talking about! Since I've stumbled upon your channel I've almost stopped going to other tabs for guidance. I just trust my own research and YOU! :) And anybody whose eyes glitter with so much dedication, who's driven with so much passion is sure to look as lovely as you do! Great job done, Mimi!
*I highly recommend argan life products as part of any hair growth/hair thinning treatment. I have searched a lot and belive me or not no other products works fast like this one and if you combine it with argan oil you will get even quicker results. I am happy with the results*
Thank you! I will try your recipes for sure. I recommend Ashwagandha for metabolism and reduction of DHT and stress hormones. I take a thyroid complex that contains zinc, B6, B12, manganese , selenium and a few other good things. I swear by coconut in all forms. Salmon is supposed to be awesome. I'm going to add that as well to my diet.
Beans, when ever my hair starts to look weepy, I start eating beans, bean shakes, bean soups, beans in just about everything, after about 2 weeks it starts to look healthy and begins to grow again, not recommended for girls who like the straight sleek look, because of my insationable bean consumption I have Jack and the Bean Stalk on top of my head, literally its a massive bush. Love your video's a lot of great and useful information keep up the good work.
With regards to water drinking, it's quite helpful to drink warm lemon water first thing in the morning before breakfast. It helps to 'clean you from the inside' :)
Mimi this helped me a lot. I've been going through like heart burns and stuff. So excited to start all this new stuff. Also where do I but this hazel nut butter? Please comment back
Thanks for sharing these tips Mimi. I believe in the power of coconut oil too! And I find that incorporating sea vegetables into my diet once a week makes my hair super thick and strong.
Наталья Топорова I used to have to same problem. If I only wash my hair with shampoo once after applying the mask, my hair look very oily and dirty, (even though it's not). So now I always wash my hair twice, or you could leave out the condition :)
Наталья Топорова I apply the coconut oil from mid- hair shaft down to the ends, avoiding my roots. I wrap my hair in a warm , damp towel (turban style) and leave the hair mask on until the towel is cool.Then I wash twice with a very mild shampoo (no sulfates). Hope that helps :)
I do eat lots of row nuts and it helps groing hair. I've tried eatung a handful of either walnuts or hazelnuts EVERYDAY for a month 2 years ago and my hair kinda explode! LOL! I got to stop cause it grow so much so fast I couldn't handle taking care of it properly. Row nuts plus row fruits everyday plus 2 litres of pure water did the miracle!
Im studying nutrition and had ALL of the symptoms of low stomach acid. Severe bloating etc and I'm an extremely healthy eater.. I even did two tests (baking soda and the betaine HCL test) and both tests showed that I had low stomach acid. I began taking HCL for one month, thinking my issue of this extreme bloating that just came about in 2013 was from low stomach acid... After trying to increase my acid my symptoms didn't go away so I got an endoscopy done which showed I have ulcers and chronic gastritis. Keep in mind I'm only 21.... So my advice is to be careful when diagnosing yourself with low stomach acid because it may worsen your symptoms and it might actually be the opposite, that you have TOO much acid.
Mimi, I love you so much!!! I am from Ukraine(sorry about my English), I want to tell, that you inspired me to do things that I always wanted. I was so scared and depressed all the time but your videos help me to grow a new person inside me! Thank you! YOU ARE THE BEST ! Спасибо! Я люблю тебя :*
You can make your own hazelnut butter. Just blend hazelnuts in blender, at first they will look like powder but keep blending. Eventually, your nut butter will begin to clump. Let the processor continue running until nut butter reaches desired consistency. I promise it will get creamy, but a little patience is involved. You can roast hazelnuts also if you prefer :)
Mimi, thank you for making this video. I think I have low stomach acid now that you mentioned the symphtoms. I´ve been really depressed about feeling like this and doctors don´t seem to help with all the meds. Anyway, I just realized I´m doing all the wrong things and eating all the wrong foods thinking they are healthy for me (like grain, glutten, dairy, white sugar) It´s hard for me but I will try it, I wanna get better! When you mentioned cutting the glutten, I was wondering if you do it glutten free bread or nooddles. Thank you again! :)
I am so glad that I found your channel...so inspirational! You are correct about diet. You could take all the supplements you want, but if you don't change your diet. They really don't work.
You are so wonderful and genuine, I’ve been following your channel for quite sometime now, but I’m kind of going backwards and discovering all these older health related videos. I absolutely love them! I am just the same, the moment an issue arrises in my life I go into heavy research mode :) I need to know everything about it. But, thank you for sharing your research and passion with us all. Спасибо
Mimi I was aware of the importance of coconut oil.I think stress also cause low acid problem.I knew that stress cause indigestion that will eventually lealead to hair loss.
Luxy Hair I would recommend maybe adding a replacement to the hazelnut butter in the description box for those who are allergic to nuts. I, myself, am allergic to hazelnuts and I almost died once so, that source of biotin would have to be put a side. I love your videos :) Hugs from Portugal!
Great video, although If consuming apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in water regularly, dentists recommend drinking it through a straw and brushing teeth well after in order to protect the enamel of teeth.
In Islam we are taught as a sunnah to eat fruit before a meal as it aids digestion. Eating something soft will get more stomach acid being produced. We are also taught in Islam to only eat to fill 1/3 of our stomach so not to the point of being full and bursting and also the same with water only drink and fill a 1/3 of Ur stomach. And leave the rest to air and space to breath. This is from islam and known for over 1400 years.
Hey Mimi! I will be really really pleased if you make a video about the dandruff, how can i get rid of it, etc. I've been all my life living with that itchy and flaky scalp, it's so unconfortable... i've tried all the products, even medical shampoo and it didn't do anything. I can't live with this anymore, I'm tired of trying products and spend money in product that are totally unuseful. xoxo
While I agree with everything you've said - heck I even have the same brand of coconut oil (Lucy Bee rules!) - I have to caution your viewers re: your vinegar advice. Apple cider vinegar is absolutely great for one's health, but should NOT be taken neat. Dilute in a mug of warm water, or even apple juice if you are new to it and cant stand the taste, or add honey to it. Mimi, I'd love to know what you have for breakfast, because that is where I struggle the most, to the point that I now usually skip breakfast because all my options seem unhealthy or tasteless.
omg i suffer from low stomach acid or heart burn too but only when i drink tea or coffee on an empty stomach. Like sometimes if i eat anything sweet, i can feel the heartburn after 5 mins. Now i know why my hair has been falling out lately and the reason behind my depression. Thank you Mimi :) this video was so informative.
Hey Mimi ... would like to share something from personal experience..... I have been consuming a handful of soaked peanuts ( I soak them in water overnight n consume the next day) and a small piece of fresh coconut (one can even grate it and add it to sprouts or salads too), n trust me I have noticed new hair on my scalp. No exaggeration whatsoever. Been doing this for past 1 n a half month n I can see a visible improvement in my hair. But ya ppl with weak digestion might wanna check with their doc before they wanna try this. Peanuts and coconut might not be gentle on everyone's digestion.
I’m confused on the heartburn is caused by low stomach acid??? It’s actually normal to high stomach acid going into the esophagus.... this is why they give patients anti-acids in the hospital for GERD. The anti-acids decrease the acid amount and relieve symptoms for that time....
Saturated fat is good for you? based on whose book? what are you talking about?! Saturated fat increase the level of your bad cholesterol. The only 2 beneficial fats are : Mono and poly-saturated not saturated fat . If a one wants to dye at early age with a cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol, sure try to eat the saturated fat and industrial made coconut oil as she does. The industrial made coconut oil should be only used externally . You want to stop the nail breakage or hair loss, then try to eat 'non roasted/non fried ' food + plus eat garlic, onion (specially) in your food.
No you DON'T need saturated fat ( it causes diabetes and cardiovascular diseases) , you need poly saturated or mono-saturated ( improves blood circulation, etc) Telling people you need saturated fat, is like , telling them you need to have sugar as a main dish!!! That what the saturated does, it would kill you.
I really really want to change my eating habits and every time I see you talking about health I become more encouraged :) You are such an inspiring woman Thank you so much!
Thanks for researching this Mimi! I am 15 and over the course of last year my hair has been falling out and it's very noticeable. I am now trying to regain my hair. Thanks for your tips!
You have beautiful hands ! Anyway, how did you get AA deficient? Nowadays it is very rare to be in a state of nutrient deficiency. The opposite is the problem today for most people.
Hi Mimi, you're so inspirational to me. I changed a lot of my diet habits and also my "mental bad habits" thank to your videos and advices and I feel so better and healthier even sometimes it's very hard, but I keep going. Please can you make avaible your book even in Europe? Maybe a digitally version. It would be awesome, because there are a lot of people here that woul buy your book. Kisses from Italy
Omg, i had a jar of coconut oil for a while cuz i used to do the honey hair mask (which i need to do this month btw!) and i went running to the kitchen an try to eat a full tablespoon! I like it! Its a weird consistency at first but it left a nice coconuty taste! Im gonna star adding this to my healthy morning smoothie! Thanks for the tips! Kisses form the U.K.!!!
Blueberries, Spinach, Salmon, Row Tomato, Whole nuts are some of the main foods that I used to get back my hair recovered. One thing to correct you, not all dairies are bad, I use greek yogurt daily for example and never been bad rather it really helps...
One way of ensuring you will always have healthy hair is through an awesome diet. Following these recommendations can help with your hair and even your overall health.
Thank you so much for this amazing information that contradicts the traditional beliefs about hyperacidity that most people think they suffer from. I did my research too so I'm finding now this priceless information that can save me from my stomach problems. I would like more of these videos, I think are great for everybody. Have a nice day! xxx
Hi Mimi. I'm from Dubai and I love love watching your videos. Please continue to inspire all the people including me. I have become a huge fan of yours and I feel like I know you so well in the last 3 days of watching your videos. Can you please tell me if you would be shipping your book here and if not, when will your digital version of the book be out? Take care and God bless !
Очень полезное видео! Спасибо тебе Мими!Пока жила в деревне не задумывалась о питании -там было все со своего огорода+домашнее молоко. У меня не было никаких проблем. В городе мои волосы да и весь организм забили тревогу. То, что мне помогает так это - натуральные продукты, чистая вода (не хлорированная!!!), молоко,творог,фрукты, орехи,сухофрукты,овощи, рыба!, ну и конечно же здоровый образ жизни и прогулки на свежем воздухе! Больше о здоровом образе жизни я задумалась , когда у меня появился ребенок. Я поняла, что и рацион должен быть еще и сбалансированным, чтобы растущий организм развивался правильно и хватало всех необходимых веществ! Вот такие мои личные секреты)...
all that u have said here is absolutely helpful and correct ofcourse but i would also like to mention here that all these things are so very well explained n organized in "Ayurveda". Ayurveda actually is the art of living life........if one is really interested in living a healthy n spiritual life you should move towards ayurvedic way of living life...... well last but definitely not the least Mimi you talk so very correct n you radiate such a positive energy to us...thank you for the same.............
Kale- raw kale juice has tremendously helped give my hair so much volume. I would make raw green juice every morning for breakfast and it has been amazing for my hair and nails :) Thank you mimi for your helpful suggestions, i did not know about hazelnut butter, no more nutella for me :)
Love the healthy tips. Also, have you tried eating a few teaspoons of ground flax seeds? I put mine in either unsweetened flax milk (with english toffee stevia drops) or I also love it in Good Belly Probiotic Coconut Water. Delish!
Im muslim and in the holy quraan its written that you dont have to eat fruits after actual food you have to eat right before and it will help you digest better .. The holy quraan is from thousands and thousands of years ago and scientist discovered this few years ago
Hi Mimi, can you make a video on how to know when to throw away your hair tools like a curling iron or flat iron? I'm unsure if my hair is the problem or if my hair styling tools are getting old!
Hey eat a cup of sprouted green gram first thing in the morning. That will take care of your hair, skin, nail whatever. It is a healthiest food on the earth. So inexpensive n you don't have to struggle to eat it.Just chew it nicely.
Me too I do the ginger like that I add warm water and the ginger and ofcourse lemon Not only that even when u are sick u have a sore throat things like that it heels
Even though I'm only 11 I'm literally scared from a virus I had under my lungs and that lead to chest pains, I have heartburn every once and a while and trouble breathing, my hair comes out in 20 stands at a time and my nails r as short as a fruit fly life span! It gets me worried! So thx for the video
Hi Mimi dear, You are so sweet and it's always so nice to watch your videos. I mentioned to you earlier that I am a medical student. And I read the article you had gotten some of your information from, and it is a bit misleading. From a medical point of view, heartburn is most likely caused by hyper-acidity (overproduction of stomach acid), obesity and stress. Smoking, alcohol and diet are also some factors. If a person has low stomach acid, that means don't produce enough acid, so the stomach flora is more basic than normal, it is because of the imbalance of bacteria, Helicobacter pylori infection. The treatment for that is not a certain diet, rather it is an antibiotic cure combined with the drug group called "proton pump inhibitors". These drugs reduce the stomach acid. What you say about the stomach acid helps to break down the proteins to amino acids is true. And it's correct that the digestion and stomach acid production just starts by the thought or smell of food. But to drink a glass of water before you eat your meal and a glass after your meal, actually helps with the digestion of the food! For me there has been a lot of things that has caused hair loss and what has helped against it. Some of the important causes of hair loss are stress, depression, anemia (low iron in blood), and not a complete healthy diet. The things that helped me a lot was of course to stress down, be happy, eat food with high Omega-3 fat (fish) and iron rich food (spinach). Like I said, I really enjoy watching your videos, because not only do you give nice advice, but you also spread joy. I just wanted to add some other facts from a medical point and let you know that not all articles are completely correct. And I like that you promote good health, which is also something that I'm working for :) If you're going to put out some videos about health and you want to add some medical facts, I would love to help you out and give you some tips as well :) Have a lovely Sunday!
Hello Mimi! I like you so much, I will follow you forever .. keep it up! I this year I completely changed my way of eating, I went from omnivore to vegan and now I'm attentive to what I eat and drink! Since I no longer eat any animal protein I'm fine, both mentally and physically I have achieved something amazing ... I recommend it to everyone! kisses
Hi Mimi, I am 24 years old and I have started noticing my hair has started turning grey in the past few months. i don't like to color my hair or use any henna products as i heard it can damage my hair. i wound be very thankful to you if you can help me with any natural way to retain my hair color. thanks 😊
Hi Mimi , please help !! I don't understand why the bottom of my hair knots up. Especially when I wear my coat . My hair is healthy and long. But it's so frail at the ends . What can I do to prevent this from happening.
