subject: Stopping Hair Loss For Good [print this page] Treating this problem may be a lot easier than you think. All too often men and women allow their thinning hair to go untreated because they mistakenly believe there is nothing they can do about. This is a huge mistake. The earlier you take action, the better your results are likely to be.
Another major factor of hair loss is nutritional deficiency. Without certain nutrients in your daily diet, it is almost impossible for your body to produce more healthy hair strings. Poor diet contributes to weak hair structure, which then leads to easier hair fall and breakage.
Reduce stress. Stress has been proven to cause hair loss. You can reduce stress levels with the help of exercise and meditation. Exercise improves blood flow throughout the body, including the scalp, and can stimulate hair growth. Stop smoking. Nicotine constricts the blood vessels leading to the scalp, causing hair to fall out.
Minoxidil is a drug that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of baldness and thinning hair. Minoxidil has this weird capability of regrowing hair. You can easily get a few bottles of minoxidil from your local pharmacy.
Diet is important for health, especially if your have a busy life. Try to get B vitamins and essential fatty acids in your diet. Raw egg yolks and salmon are too highly nutritious foods containing nutrients required for hair growth. Green leafy vegetables like baby leaf spinach and watercress are also high in nutrients for hair growth.
The herbs Pygeum, Saw Palmetto and Nettle Roots all aid in lowering the level of DHT in your body (dihydrotestosterone) which is known to damage and destroy hair follicles. Are you eating healthy and consuming meals that are rich in protein? Proper nutrition consisting of proteins such as lean meats, fish, and lentils is one of the best natural remedies for treating your condition. You can also start with drinking a healthy cocktail every morning that consists of alfalfa juice, lettuce (make sure it's some sort of green leafy lettuce), and carrot juice. In addition to your diet, you may also want to contact your physician to rule out any underlying conditions that may be responsible for your excessive loss of hair.
This is not good for your health either because your body needs about eight hours of sleep to function at its best. Short bursts of sleep are not sufficient to reverse thinning hair because your strands can only benefit during the deep sleep which occurs during longer periods of sleep.
