today we’re going to talk about eyelashes and really important nutritional factors in relationship to helping you grow your eyelashes or make them thicker or longer now per eyelid you have about 1 to 200 hair follicles and the hairs that grow out of your eyelids go through um two different phases one is a growth phase and a rest phase and when people start either losing their eyelashes or they become small and very thin there’s a problem with one of these two phases and there’s a lot of different technical names for these conditions that describe them but that doesn’t really tell you what’s really behind this problem i mean if we just take a look at the basics we have the eyelash what is an eyelash well it’s protein what makes up protein amino acids what makes up amino acids well we have a combination of this biochemical reaction occurring with certain raw material which one really important factor would be trace minerals okay so you need trace minerals to make amino acids which then help turn into proteins which are basically just a long chain of different amino acids and when you’re missing certain trace minerals devastating things can happen to your body much like missing a trace mineral in the soil will have devastating effects on the plants as well as devastating effects on the animals that eat the plant and on top of that the devastating effects of humans eating animals that are deficient in certain trace minerals now i just want to mention a book that i’m reading which is actually relates to this topic it’s a fascinating book this is it right here i don’t know if you can see it soil grass and cancer okay now when i first found this book sounded very very interesting until i got to the price which was 250 dollars so immediately i said there’s no way in hell i’m going to buy a book that’s 250 despite revealing the link between human and animal health and mineral balance in the soil which got my attention because i’m doing all sorts of experiments on my phone so about an hour later it’s basically haunting me i’m thinking why can’t i find any used books that are a lot less expensive um i mean why aren’t people getting rid of this book i mean maybe it’s extremely valuable and no one is wanting to resell it and it starts to evolve to this point of like i have to get this book i have to see what’s in this book because um it must be good if it’s that expensive or i would i would see some negative reviews i haven’t seen any negative reviews only amazing reviews now of course it’s a bit technical for the average person but it’s a fascinating study on the relationship between missing trace minerals in the soil and how that affects the plant and the animals and humans because the foundation of our health actually starts in the soil if there’s something missing in the soil which there is how can you create food and animals that feed us that turn into health you can’t and these little trace minerals are vitally important because it’s at the heart of enzymes it’s at the heart of making vitamins like b12 and it’s at the heart of making antioxidants and even phytonutrients all right so let me get back on topic here because i’m getting a little distracted so if you investigate and look up the mechanism of why someone would lose their eyelashes it comes down to a deficiency of a very specific type of prostaglandin now don’t get too hung up on this word prostaglandin prostaglandin is just a signaling molecule it’s kind of like a hormone it’s a a message that travels to the body that tells the body to do certain things and if you’re deficient in a certain prostaglandin you can have all sorts of uh problems with growing hair inflammation and yet if there’s other prostaglandins that you have too much that can relate to things like headaches for example when you take an aspirin what you’re doing is you’re blocking certain types of prostaglandins and that’s why aspirin works for headaches but in summary some of the medications that they use involved in growing eyelashes have to do with enhancing this deficiency of this specific prostaglandin called prostaglandin f2 alpha if you really wanted to know we’re just going to call this pgf2 alpha and that way we can sound a little bit smarter so there’s actually just two things you need to know about increasing this deficiency of this prostaglandin one is an acid called rescinolic acid that acid can help correct that deficiency and help someone regrow their eyelashes not just help grow it but can it can actually thicken the eyelashes and then help the texture to make them have the right oil consistency and number two zinc and that is the trace mineral that i’m leading up to when you’re a zinc deficient you can’t make that prostaglandin now remember i talked about trace minerals making all sorts of things like enzymes and phytonutrients well they also make this signaling molecule called prostaglandin and without zinc you can’t make it so this is why zinc is really important in your nails your skin your hair your immune system uh making testosterone it’s involved in literally like a hundred different biochemical reactions at least and so there’s been quite a few reports and people taking zinc and helping regrow their hair and specifically the eyelashes now if you’re going to get a zinc supplement i would highly recommend you get a quality zinc supplement in a blend of all the trace minerals and to be totally transparent i have a zinc product and a blend of all the trace minerals that i sell i’m not even telling you to get that product it’s actually more important to find out why you’re deficient in zinc in the first place like looking at your diet so zinc is involved in regrowing the eyelashes and also this resinoic acid which by the way is in castor oil now castor oil is a laxative it’s a preservative it is something that helps women induce labor when they’re about to deliver it’s used as a skin moisturizer it’s also used as an anti dandruff remedy but a lot of women use it to help regrow their eyelashes and personally if you’re going to get castor oil just make sure it’s organic and it’s a cold processed or unrefined as long as it’s that you don’t have to get a very very expensive castor oil because a lot of the castor oil really comes from the same place because some people actually sell in these very tiny bottles where it’s you know you can get the same material in a much larger bottle at a fraction of the cost so the two best things for the eyelashes are number one zinc and castor oil i would put castor oil topically and take zinc internally because that way you’re working on something from the inside out now there’s a really interesting study done on mice where they evaluated feeding mice aspirin because aspirin blocks those prostaglandins right and this is what they found they found that when they did that they created the exact same effect as a zinc deficiency because they looked at the symptoms of a zinc deficiency and a prostaglandin deficiency and are both the same and the lesson or take away from this video is to understand what these symptoms are what these like little red light indicators are and instead of camouflaging a hole in the bucket find out what the deeper underlying root cause is instead of just patching a hole and so this leads me to the next video that you really should watch as in what are some of the causes of a zinc deficiency and how can you correct it right here check it out
