Hair loss is a common issue and a cause for concern among adults worldwide. Unfortunately you cannot pinpoint an exact cause for this as it can occur for a number of different reasons including diet, stress, vitamin/mineral deficiency, illness and genetics.
Many people opt for expensive treatments and surgeries to try and recover it whilst others simply embrace it and make the most of their new look. A simple search for natural remedies comes up with an endless list of “tried and tested” remedies and the “next groundbreaking cure” to male pattern baldness. Which of these methods work? Without a list of proven studies or research, most of these remedies are hearsay and home-made recipes that have no evidence to prove their effectiveness.
The best advice for someone looking to combat hair loss naturally would be to address the causes of hair loss and to try and prevent it by improving those aspects of your life. Here are a few suggestions on how to do exactly that:
Diet – Eating the right foods and not eating the wrong foods are the first steps towards maintaining what you have and making your hair healthier and stronger, as well as your body of course.
It is important to skip fried foods as they may reduce oil-gland activity. You will also need to reduce your intake of sugary foods such as snacks and desserts; hormone floods from consuming a lot of sugar can trigger the release of hormones that cause the breakdown of hair follicles. Stick to foods such as salmon, pumpkin seeds, chicken, strawberries and almonds which are rich in proven hair-growth nutrients and vitamins.
Mineral deficiency - Hair loss vitamins such as Biotin, Niacin (Vitamin B3) and Vitamin C as well as minerals for hair loss such as Zinc and Iron, provide essential nutrients to boost hair growth and improve the health and quality of the hair. Eating enough of these key hair growth vitamins can help prevent hair loss in both men and women.
Stress – An excess of stress and anxiety can cause hair loss, thinning and balding. Any issues or aspects of your life which are causing you to become too stressed such as your work or home life will need to be changed in order to stop this from occurring. If you're feeling anxious or stressed about an important event, do things that you enjoy to relax in order to not let this affect your health as well as your hairline! Make sure you get regular exercise, a good night's sleep and you can even try meditation which is well-known for it's relaxation techniques.
Illnesses and Diseases – Sometimes there is nothing you can do when it comes to getting ill. All you can do is look in this aspect is look after your body as best as you can and most of the time that should be enough to reduce your chances of illness or disease. Eat healthily, exercise regularly, get sufficient sleep and ensure sufficient vitamins and minerals are consumed and you'll be well on your way to a healthy strong body all year round.
Genetics – The majority of people who experience some form of physical issue whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, illness, hair loss and many others will try and blame this on genetics. There is some truth to this as our genetic history can play a part in a lot of factors, however in regards to hair loss this should not be considered certain. Every aspect should be covered when trying to determine the cause. If you have a history of male/female pattern baldness then it does seem likely that this could be the cause, however if you've reached your mid-to-late twenties without any of the signs of it appearing then it could be one of the other causes. Most doctors actually miss-diagnose patients with hair loss as it being solely down to genetics. Keep an open mind and go through them one by one over a few weeks and improve all aspects of your life to see if it's still the most likely cause.
Finally, hair loss can happen in some areas but become stronger that ever in others such as facial and body hair. A good way to overcome this is to embrace the change. Studies conducted in women's magazines have shown that bald men with facial hair and a good amount of lean muscle can appear up to 40% more manly than others! So regardless of the outcome overtime, work on your health and see the silver lining in every cloud!
