Researchers recruited 35 married couples and asked them to wear sensors that monitor the movement for 10 nights. The average age of participants was 32 years old. During the day, the couple was asked to write a diary detailing how they get along.

The points are assessed as how strongly they feel positive things, such as feeling close and valued partner, and talk about their feelings with a partner. Negative, how many feel criticized, rejected, neglected, or involved an argument.

Some People Refuse to Hair Shampoo

Shampoo - Millions of people were in the belief that your hair is clean, they have to use shampoo. In fact, the media and big companies tell consumers as a special shampoo can make hair a healthy person if there is nothing further from the truth. Traditional media to the fact that a daily shampoo is safe, effective and healthy. But the truth is to wash your hair, damage your hair and interferes with natural processes. Shampoo removes hair of natural oils, so that users of toxins and promotes consumerism.

Before shampoos are created for cleaning, people used soap, hair and scalp. It was easy to sell consumers on the idea, shampoo, soap, because they often seem irritated eyes and hair and left feeling bored. Shampoo was marketed better alternative. Shampoos, detergents, but their use, among others. Detergents are usually hard and not only clean the unwanted dirt and dandruff, but also strip hair of natural oils that keep your hair very soft, strong and manageable. Today people use care products (full of problematic ingredients) to the natural oils that have been washed with shampoo to replace.

questionable not only the cleaning agents used in shampoos and toxic, but other substances and hazardous chemicals, the elements, the CDC and other health authorities warn they are poisonous. Some of these ingredients, according to numerous sources are seemingly innocuous terms that sound like Yellow 6'ma carcinogen, and other less obvious things like "iodopropynyl." Why would anyone in a chemical laboratory in the head, probably dangerous, and the environment if safer alternatives can be poured?

Finally, many people avoid washing your hair, because - like many "necessary" products today - it encourages conspicuous consumption. If a person believes that shampoo is a must, you will be buying regularly. Many advocates of simple living commercial shampoos avoided for this reason alone.

The refusal, shampoo, does not mean that people do not clean your hair, however. Most people do not use the shampoo instead of in a safe, friendly environment: the use of baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice. Others simply use warm water and a brush. They refuse to make shampoo, and most are glad they do.
