Why Bamboo?

Why Asquith of London is Using Bamboo in their Clothing designs?

– Bamboo is better for the environment
– Bamboo gets you drier faster
– Bamboo has temperature control properties
– Bamboo offers an anti-bacterial function
– Bamboo is strong and durable
– The fabric used in bamboo clothing is incredibly soft, smooth and luxuriously comfortable

Bamboo is better for the environment

– Bamboo plays a big part in our ecosystem. It is the fastest growing plant on the planet, mainly because it has extraordinary water absorbency, which helps it to grow fast and produces 35% more oxygen than the same area of trees.
– Bamboo does not need any sprays or chemicals to grow and is ideal for protection against soil erosion. – Bamboo also has the ability to grow in areas of both high and low rainfall.
– Bamboo fibre is 100% biodegradable
– As the fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo grows to its maximum height in about 3 months and reaches maturity in 3-4 years. It spreads rapidly across large areas. Because of this, bamboo is known to improve soil quality in degraded and eroded areas of land.
– As a grass, bamboo is cut, not uprooted, also helping soil stability. Bamboo can also grow on hill slopes where nothing else is viable.
– The yield you get from an acre of bamboo is 10 times greater than the yield you get from cotton. In an age where land use is under enormous pressure, this is huge.
– The water requirement for bamboo is minute, mainly just from what falls. Conversely, the cotton used in your ordinary towels, is an enormously water, pesticide and labour intensive crop.

Bamboo gets you drier faster

– Bamboo is 3-4 times more absorbent than cotton. It ‘wicks’ away moisture from the body, which then evaporates, keeping you – naturally – drier and more comfortable.

Bamboo has temperature control properties

Bamboo is remarkably breathable; it keeps you more comfortable in all temperatures. In the heat, bamboo is naturally cool to the touch. The cross-section of the bamboo fibre is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes. It has much better moisture absorption and ventilation. It’s also warm in cold weather, because of the same microstructure; as a base layer, warm air gets trapped next to the skin.

Bamboo offers an anti-bacterial function

– Bamboo is antibacterial, antifungal and anti-static.

In the wild, bamboo thrives naturally without using any pesticides or fertilisers. It is seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogens. Why? Scientists found that bamboo owns a unique anti-bacteria and bacteriostasis bio-agent named “bamboo kun”. This substance bonds tightly with bamboo cellulose molecules during the normal process of bamboo fibre growth.

Therefore bamboo products are odour resistant, staying fresher for longer, because the fabric – naturally – stops bacteria from spreading. As a result, they’re also healthier and more hygienic.

Bamboo yoga clothing has a natural anti-bacterial function that differs greatly from that of man-made chemical antimicrobial fabrics, which often tend to cause skin problems – bamboo helps to reduce things like body odour and skin irritation.

Bamboo is strong and durable

Bamboo clothing is strong and durable. Repeated tests show that bamboo fibre has a high abrasion-proof capacity and also tenacity. The same bamboo used for scaffolding to build skyscrapers in Hong Kong was always going to be strong!

Q. HOW IS BAMBOO FIBRE MADE?

. The Bamboo is harvested and pulped. The pulp is refined through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi-phase bleaching and is then processed into a fibre and then spun into thread and weaved into cloth.

Q. HOW FAST DOES IT GROW?

. Bamboo is actually a grass and unlike wood it matures in 5 years compared to 60 years for a tree and therefore is putting oxygen back into the atmosphere within weeks of being cut.

Q. DO YOU HAVE TO REPLANT AFTER CUTTING?

. No because Bamboo is self generating growing from the base shoots, so you don’t have to kill it to harvest it unlike trees.

Q. DOES HARVESTING BAMBOO POSE ANY THREAT TO ENDANGERED SPECIES LIKE THE PANDA?

. No because only MOSO (Phyllostachys Pubescens) species are used to produce Bamboo fibre and this comes from the eastern provinces of China on the lower slopes of hill country. Nearly all of the remaining 700-1000 wild Giant Pandas live in the high mountain areas of western China and live well above any possible harvesting areas and are vigorously protected by the Chinese government.

At a microscopic level, bamboo fibre has a round surface. Because of this, it’s very smooth and sits perfectly next to the skin. Petrol based synthetic fibres can sometimes irritate the skin and they also start to smell really quickly. Bamboo does not.

Checklist to Weightloss

Make a commitment to yourself that you are going to be healthy, for you. It’s the best anti-ageing plan you can have.

1. Find a photo of yourself that you really don’t like the look of and use it for motivation, put it on the fridge, then find a picture of a celebrity body that you want to look like, and put that next to it!

2. Measure. This means measuring with a tape and noting your weight.  If you have access to a trainer they will be able to measure you properly.  This gives you something to keep you motivated especially if you are measuring fortnightly or monthly you can see your progress which just makes you want to keep going.

3. Clear out your fridge of anything bad for you, lollies, chocolate, ice creams, etc and just don’t be tempted to refill, unless it is treat day then choose wisely, something that is really good quality.

4. Fill your fridge with colourful and fresh vegetables and fruits you enjoy.

5. Chop up some fruit into large chunky pieces and leave them in there so everytime you are thinking about snacking, you can quickly grab a piece of fruit.  If you prefer, you could put a small container of mixed nuts or chop up large chunks of some crunchy veggies.

6. Buy a book that you can write in as your daily journal. You should write in your journal each evening how you felt upon waking, what you ate during the day and any notable fatigue, any reactions to foods, what you ate and what you drank, any medications and supplements and what exercise you did during the day.  Write down any stresses and any other notes you feel like.  It’s good to empty you brain of the day that was as well as being truthful about what you actually consumed for the day. You might be surprised at what you actually can consume in one day!

7. Allow yourself a treat day or two per week so as not to feel deprived.

8. Exercise, this can be anything you choose as long as you are off your bottom and moving. Of course getting yourself a personal trainer is always motivating and it means you can’t chicken out when you feel like it but group training is always good especially if you have a competitive spirit.  There is always the option of couple training also if you want to train with your husband or partner and get them involved too that usually assists with changing your diet.

9. Plan. If you are to succeed in being healthy and lose weight or maintain weight you need to plan your meals.  This is especially important if you have any food allergies as it’s not always easy to get something healthy to eat if you aren’t at home.  There are several planning tools but if you are struggling or are bored of the usual salads, the nutrition complete system on my site has a number of calorie controlled recipes to choose from which takes away some of the struggle of what to have for dinner or lunch.  It also assists you in getting the correct nutrition so you aren’t missing out on any vital nutrients. The system also produces a shopping list for you and a weekly table of what you are eating, how many calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates are in your meals.

10. Cut down on alcohol, remember that there around 100 calories per glass of wine, but it’s not only the calories you need to worry about, it’s the chemicals and the effect on your body. There are more detrimental factors about alcohol than positives so cut it down to no more than 2 glasses per week.

11. Make sure you give yourself a gift like booking a hair appointment, massage, spa treatment or a holiday for reaching your goals.

Stay positive and enjoy your healthy new lifestyle. It’s not easy but if you are prepared, you can do it!!

If you have any questions or tips of your own, feel free to ask or share.
