Wazzup Pilipinas!

The newest foodie trend is both simple and rewarding. Getting a high dose of vitamins, minerals and nutrients from vegetables is only possible when they are fresh, organic and uncooked. Cooking does away with a lot of heat-sensitive vitamins. London has some joints that keep their food below 42-degrees Celsius. Superfood salads, casher cheese and cold-pressed juices top the list of "raw" food that defines London’s (non)cooking restros.

When in London, try at least one of these greater London restaurants for an authentic taste of everything healthy and natural.



Farmacy

Farmacy takes (non)cooking to a whole new level with their fine artistic presentation. They sell "clean eating" food to the people interested in healthy living. You can eat here at peace since they serve no dairy, no gluten, no sugar, no meat and no additives. It is one of those heavenly places allergy prone people usually love. Dig into an "earth bowl" stuffed with their signature, raw goodies. Their presentation draws the crowd, so book your table in advance for your share of raw health.

Malibu Kitchen is nothing short of a new California experience in greater London. There is something for all kinds of food lovers, although the menu is a little partial towards vegan and veggie options.

This is one of the few restaurants that serve raw food with warmth. Their juices might be cold-pressed, but their service is warm and hearty. You will find all kinds of uncooked and fresh raw items on the menu. They have an interesting take on mainstream food including sushi, pizzas and cheese. Their sushi rice is grated kohlrabi, and their cheese comes from cashew. It is a down-to-earth place that has an art gallery vibe.


Rawlington

This Fitzrovia restaurant oozes calm and positivity. Rawlington is a vegan eatery that takes the art of garnishing seriously.

Thinning Hair Problem? 5 Ways to Deal with Your Hair Loss Dilemma

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Losing lots of hair each day? Starting to have bald patches on your head? One of the most fearsome thoughts for both men and women is the prospect of thinning hair. Though hair loss occurrence is higher among men, women are not exempted from this problem. According to studies, roughly 30 percent of the adult population suffers from some degree of hair loss, which can lower one’s confidence and cause anxiety. If hair is one’s crowning glory, balding hair can be a real nightmare. But worry no more. We made a list of ways for you to cope with major or minor hair loss:

1. Cut it short. Ask your hairstylist about what haircut will best flatter your look. Short hairstyles can minimize the appearance of thinning hair and make baldness less apparent.

2. Style it right. Use volume-enhancing products that will make your hair stand up from the scalp to give it a thicker appearance. Avoid using greasy hair products and putting heavy hairsprays as they will flatten and clamp your hair together, thus emphasizing your bald patches. For women, layering and locking your hair in large curls can give an illusion of volume. You may also opt to blow dry your hair for extra volume.

3. Try topical treatments. There are plenty of shampoos and scalp lotions that claim to help re-grow hair. Look for a good over-the-counter topical treatment available in the market and use it rigorously. Watch your diet closely and make sure you eat plenty of iron-, protein-, and zinc-rich foods.
4. Look for an appropriate wig and toupee. If you want to flaunt a full-head of hair without using any topical treatments or products, invest in a good hair dress like wigs, toupees or hair extensions. With this option, you can style your hair the way you want without fear that your bald patches might be exposed. You can also pick and change your look with less hassle.

5. Go for the long-term and permanent medical treatment. If you want to grow your own hair naturally, and permanently, a hair transplant procedure might be the best for you. MAXiM Hair Restoration, a 12-year old American hair transplant company that has a branch in the Philippines, offers the advanced no-stitch, no linear scar technique called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) as well as the conventional hair transplant technique known as Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). Both enable clients to grow back their hair via hair transplantation. It also offers a non-surgical method called Scalp Micropigmentation that produces a short buzz-cut look without the client undergoing an actual transplant.

MAXiM’s expert doctors are registered plastic surgeons who are skilled in surgery and aesthetics as well. Happy clients include professionals, international models, entertainment personalities and sports celebrities, most notably PBA Legend Alvin “The Captain” Patrimonio, who was the latest addition to the list of happy celebrities who have undergone MAXiM’s hair procedure.
