Hair Loss Summary
Hair
is a living protein, and as with any living
part of our bodies we must be sure to maintain proper health to
optimize our chances of maintaining a healthy head of hair. Proper
nutrition is vital to maintaining healthy hair, since the hair is a
living and growing part of the body’s system. Viewing it in this manner
can help us to treat our bodies different and raise expectations
through proper care. A healthy balanced diet, occasionally with the
help of vitamin and mineral supplements and exercise are all key
components to a healthy regimen of maintaining healthy hair.
Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) or androgenetic alopecia is the condition
that over 95% of persons that suffer hair loss have, and it is caused
by a rise in DHT, a direct component of testosterone. The scientific
developments of the past two decades have brought hope and promise to
many who suffer with this type of hair loss. Treatments like
Rogaine®, Rogaine® for Women, Propecia, and improved surgical
treatments have brought relief to many who would have previously had to
settle for gradual hair loss, wigs, or hairpieces. The discovery of the
role of DHT in preventing hair loss has even opened the doors to
possible herbal solutions to hair loss prevention, such as saw
palmetto, nettles, rosemary and horsetail. Even more promising is the
fact that the hair loss commonly known as androgenetic alopecia is
found to occur mainly in Western civilization or those who have adopted
the ways of Western civilization, meaning that there may be dietary
practices that contribute to hair loss and therefore giving hope to the
possibility that diet could control not only temporary hair loss, but
androgenetic alopecia as well.
Doctors and scientists are studying DHT production in the body to
understand it more thoroughly. There is an obvious link to hair loss
and prostatic health and this only increases the pace of hair loss
discoveries. Most treatments for prostatic diseases such as benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also have the pleasant side affect of
growing hair on the heads of those taking it. With the pace of research
and discoveries today, there is a great deal of optimism in the field
of hair loss prevention. Hair is an important part of our dress and
appearance, therefore a large part of our self-esteem. It is likely
that there are answers for your situation presently or coming in the
near future.
Remember, the restoration of hair growth is not an
overnight process. The process takes time regardless of the method
chosen. Be patient and follow as much of the advice given by
professionals as possible. Keep in mind that the body is a system, and
it is the abuse of this system by food intake and environmental causes
that lead to most common hair loss. Through returning the body back to
its natural state, hair growth can be restored. Good health to you!
