Alopecia is a pathological full or partial hair loss, predominantly in males and, accordingly, a serious psychological problem that can cause a large number of complexes. Many pharmaceutical companies offer anti-alopecia remedies, but at the moment none of the drugs can guarantee the cessation of hair loss. While pharmacists are working on creating a miracle cure, American scientists have named a list of products that can, if not cure of alopecia, significantly slow down the process of hair loss.
Physicians identify two causes of systematic hair loss: related to internal problems in the body and with external influences. If the outwardly healthy person suffers from premature baldness, then the cause is a hormonal shake, a decrease in immunity, heredity or unbalanced nutrition, which causes a shortage of necessary vitamins in the body. Among the external causes, the most common are various infectious diseases, the consequences of chemotherapy, post-traumatic processes, severe stress.
With age, more than 50% of mature men face the problem of full or partial hair loss. The ubiquitous form is the androgenic form of alopecia. According to physicians, 95% of men and 35% of women suffer from this form of baldness. Such baldness is associated with the number of male hormones in the blood, which explains the fact that women, even the elderly, are much less likely to suffer from hair loss. Too large a number of male hormones, in particular dihydrotestosterone, combined with a genetic predisposition to baldness is virtually a 100% guarantee of gradual hair loss.
According to American scientists, premature baldness is affected not only by heredity and the presence of male hormones in the body, but also by a balanced diet.
Physicians have identified a list of products that can have a positive effect on the growth and preservation of a strong scalp on the head. Suspend the fallout process is capable of foods that contain a sufficient amount of fatty acids that have the property of stabilizing the level of cholesterol in the blood. In the diet of a healthy person must be such products: oily red fish and seafood, vegetable oil for dressing salads and stewing vegetables, chicken and quail eggs. Do not forget about protein foods: legumes, mushrooms, lean white meat is not only useful and dietary food, but also a source of substances necessary for the body, which can also positively influence the preservation of hair. Seeds of pumpkin and sunflower contain zinc, the lack of which can provoke partial loss of hair. This micronutrient is abundant in the seeds of pumpkin and sunflower, in natural bitter chocolate with a large percentage of cocoa beans.
Doctors do not guarantee that changing the diet will lead to increased hair growth, but studies have shown that proper nutrition by 99% slows down, strengthens the follicles and normalizes the hormone level of a person.
