Baldness

Introduction

"Men with a bald pate are at significantly greater risk of heart disease than their less follicly challenged peers". There are similar headlines across much of the media.

The headlines refer to research into an association between baldness and coronary heart disease. The researchers estimate that the risk of developing coronary heart disease over 10 years or more is 32% higher in bald men compared with those with a full head of hair.

Symptoms

Baldness can appear in many different ways, depending on the problem that's causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually and affect just your scalp or your whole body. Some types of hair loss are temporary, while others are permanent.

Signs and symptoms of Baldness may include:

• Gradual Thinning on Top of Head: This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting both men and women. In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead in a line that resembles the letter M. Women typically retain a line of hair at the forehead but experience a broadening of the part in their hair.
• Circular or Patchy Bald Spots: Some people experience smooth bald spots, often about an inch (2.6 centimeters) across. This type of hair loss usually affects just the scalp, but it sometimes also occurs in beards or eyebrows. In some cases, your skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
• Sudden Loosening of Hair: A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing or washing your hair or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning and not bald patches.
• Full-body Hair Loss: Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in the loss of hair all over your body. The hair usually grows back after treatment ends.

Food That Cure Bladness

• A protein rich diet is advised because proteins are the building blocks of hair. They stimulate the growth of hair follicles and help in growing strong and full hair. Fish, eggs and sprouts should be included in diet and one should have a regular intake of these food products.
• Brown rice and mushrooms are rich in vitamins and also help in enriching hair growth due to the amount of iron present in them. Make sure you include this in your diet.
• After intake of the foods rich in vitamins and proteins, we need to make sure that it is absorbed by the body. Silica helps in solving the purpose. The vitamins and minerals present in sprouts are extremely essential for stopping hair loss and promote hair re growth. Peel of cucumbers, peppers and potatoes are packed with silica.
• An iron rich food is very important for healthy body. Iron is a key producer of haemoglobin. Haemoglobin carries oxygen to different organs in the body. Healthy haemoglobin means that scalp is receiving a stimulated blood flow that promotes healthy hair growth. Fruits, especially dry fruits like rasins and cashews, are resplendent with iron. Also eggs and green leaf vegetables should be consumed regularly for being a proud owner of long and lustrous hair.
