What you don't know about your hair may be killing you.

 

Many of you are already familiar with this issue "Hair Loss", many already facing it and many are still trying to figure out its cure and reasons. Here, we are going to discuss briefly about this condition? it's affect, cure and risk associated with it.

Let's roll into this and find out...

What is Hair Loss and how it happens?

We all pretty much experienced this condition at certain point of our life (I don't like it either), which is caused by following factors :-

1. by Hormonal changes
2. due to excessive Stress
3. Poor diet
4. lack of sleep i.e. improper routine
5. lower blood circulation in head
6. side effects of some medicines
7. Genetics

What actually happens in most of the conditions are when blood circulation is getting low in head part of our body, the hair follicles (basically hair roots) can't achieved enough blood flow needed to maintain healthy growth of hairs.

with no proper circulation, Follicles become dormant (remains in inactive state) eventually finish their life cycle ends early and they fall out.

What worst is, certain chemicals are produced in this state (no proper circulation) which can affect the follicles at the base and cutting off their supply.

Major cause for Men

DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is an altered form of testosterone which is responsible for hair loss in men.

It makes the hair -

• Finer
• Weaker
• Decreasing their counts

 5a-Redutase is an enzymes present in the muscle cells which convert testosterone to DHT (under low oxygen environment at cellular level).

Since DHT comes from testosterone may be not a good deal for hair growth but its extremely necessary for men. Always pick Testosterone first because - 

• it increases muscle size.
• increase muscle strength
• promote sexual functions in men
• provide lean body tissue.

and so on...

so basically, DHT may be responsible for your hair loss and you can't do anything about it because it is highly required for other important functions in the body.

NOTE - In case of females, hair loss is mainly due to excessive stress, poor diet, improper routine or any kind of allergies. 

so what do we do for prevent us from Hair loss. Let's explore out how Nutrition and other natural factors works here.

How stress affect your hair loss

The more you take stress, the more it harms your body, not just hair.

What actually happening here is stress cause muscle tension and increase  oil on the scalp, which leads to the suffocation of follicles capillary.

so, don't take stress. Simple... lol

but seriously, never take it lightly and do something which makes you happy coz it's really important.

How nutrition prevents your hair loss

I personally believe that we can cure anything with Nutrition help, all it takes is right ingredients to put in at right time (and of course, lots of patience).

Poor diets such as eating lots of bad carbs and fats, processed foods, carbonated drinks, etc. are major reasons associated with your poor nutrition. 

Do this to prevent yourself from hair loss. Eat -

• less fried foods (contain lots of bad carbs and fats)
• less carbonated drinks (contains lots of sugars)
• less high-fat foods
• more complex carbs (veggies, legumes, 100% whole products)

How physical exercise helps in hair loss

After nutrition, the only universal solution for you to cure anything with ease is doing exercise daily.

yes, you heard it right. Doing exercise daily helps you with many amazing things that you don't even count.

of course, it will help out in hair loss too so don't make it more complicated and pick the exercise/sport you love the most.

Role of Sebaceous Gland

Sebaceous Gland??

It's actually a oil secreting gland present in our body, also known as "Oil Gland". 

It secretes a chemical called 'Sebum' which is necessary for proper hair growth (only if you able to balance it). It's kind of 'double edge sword'. Less or more, both conditions will affect your hair.

Sebum is basically composed of Fat, keratin, dead skin cells and DHT (remember! another form of testosterone). If anything goes wrong with it, it causes a problem for hair, suffocate the hair roots. This certain condition is called 'Seborrhea'.

Conclusion

Hair loss is mostly due to -

• Excessive Stress 
• Nutrition Deficiencies
• Lack of Physical Exercise
• Increase DHT Hormones (in males)
• Unexpected allergic reactions from products use for hair protection

and it can be cure by using following methods -

• Proper nutritious diets
• Daily exercise
• Use less artificial and more organic natural products
• Use Parabens & SLS free shampoos if hair are oily
• Proper hydration

For Appetite and Weight Management

It looks so good to see artificial sweeteners having almost no calories. Of course, Calories are something that we don't want to messed up but don't get fool by how amazing this advantage of artificial sweeteners have.

It may have no calories but consuming artificial sugars may trigger your craving and may be you ended up with eating lots of excessing calories in return. These sugars can able to trick our body in terms of sweetness but not with appetite.

For Diabetes

Artificial Sugars control the blood sugar levels which can be very beneficial in this case but then again, it all comes to the conclusion of controlling appetite.

Conclusion 

If you can control your appetite as well as limit the sugars, then you are good to go with normal sugars also. Artificial Sweeteners are very addictive and can harm your fitness goals in terms of your incontrollable appetite.
