EXERCISE

Everyone should take some exercise on a daily basis as part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is a process by which cells of body are placed under controlled stress. This stimulates metabolic efficiency as well as to increase vigour, strength and vitality. Research at NASA states that rebounding is THE complete exercise.

SLEEP AND RELAXATION

Most of us counteract benefits of sleep and relaxation, soft mattresses, television, eating before retiring etc. If we are using energy for digestion or processing thoughts, we are not using it to repair and recharge our vital life force. Rest and relaxation CAN be gained by lying immobile without sleeping, we sleep apparently to dream.

For example, if a person undergoes a series of radiation treatments to kill cancer, treatments incur a major stress on body. The body's first priority then becomes to live and breathe to grow nice hair another day. As a result, hair loss is often consequence of radiation treatments. Hair regrowth after this type of trauma is possible, however, depending on state of hair follicles and person's overall capacity to return to health. Naturopathic doctors call this their "vital force.”

Major Causes of Hair Loss ========================= Hair loss might also be caused by various types of injury to scalp, such as burns, radiation, acid spills, or scrapes. If follicles are destroyed and replaced by smooth skin or scar tissue, a lotion or vitamin routine won't very likely restore hair growth. At this point, it may be time for an implant, a weave, a wig, or a toupee. Or maybe it's just time to accept reality of a lack of hair. Bald can be beautiful, too.

Furthermore, various diseases, genetic tendencies, and auto-immune disorders can direct body to neglect health of hair follicle, or even attack it directly. Some of these attacks might be triggered by environmental toxins, side-effects of drugs, nutrient deficiencies, irregularities of hormone metabolism, or poor elimination of wastes. Here, we could discuss lifestyle choices and explanations of natural sciences such as nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry until your eyes glaze over.

If you have been taking anti-depressive medications like Zoloft or Paxil, you should be aware that known side-effects of these types of drugs can include hair loss. The vicious cycle of compounding one's depression by having to deal with hair loss makes these drugs a thing worth trying to avoid. Work with your doctor and be smart about your use of any medications, because many drugs have negative effects on hair growth.

If you are a "stress puppy,” and slightest disruption in your plans tears you to pieces for hours or days at a time, your body's response to those stress hormones can be yet another factor in hair loss and graying. Some training in stress management or anger resolution would be your best bet, while treating resultant hair loss with physical medicines and lotions.

Sudden Hair Loss ================ Sudden hair loss can occur after severe psycho-physical stresses like illness, childbirth, menopause, losing a job, or loss of a loved one. This type of hair loss appears within a few weeks or a month of trauma, depending on its severity. It is often reversible with time, emotional healing, and principles of physical support described here.

Hair Loss in Women ================== Women seldom lose their hair for reasons of genetic predisposition. They do, however, experience hair loss from other causes we've already mentioned. In addition, women are more commonly consumers of hair treatments which are known to damage hair and cause breakage and thinning. Rough handling, harsh commercial shampoos, perms, hair color, bleach, and cosmetics all can damage hair follicles. Hormone fluctuations through life events of men or women also contribute to stress on physical condition of hair follicle.

Factors to Consider =================== What does your body need to keep your hair looking good? Factors include good nutrition, effective elimination of wastes, exercise affecting circulation, a good attitude, use of safe non-toxic products, and sensible protections from injury. These contribute to healthy glandular functions, especially of thyroid, adrenals, gonads, and liver. If links in this chain of hormone functions are weak or broken, your hair will probably be least of your problems. It might just be most visible one in your mirror, though.

Before you spend significant amounts of money on lotions or supplements to treat hair loss, try to figure out what is causing your hair to fall out, and change what you can about that underlying situation.

Enlist help of your doctor to figure out any internal causes. Have your hormone levels tested for thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and functions of ovaries or testes. Make sure your nutritional intake and digestive functions are up to par. Again, this is a complex issue. It may take some study about lotions and natural medicines available to find a plan that works for you, but benefits to your health and appearance will be worth effort.
