5 THINGS TO DO, IF YOU ARE GETTING BALD

If you belong to the stronger sex, and still in your Early Adulthood, probably balding is in your worry list. Presumably, if you are through with your share of blaming it on your inherited Androgen; then wasting away your money in the camouflage tricks is the next viable option. But if you have still not reached your relinquishment, and do not mind trying the reverse-engineering route, then the pointers below are of some help to arrest the few strands left.



1. Boost your intake of Iron rich foods, with foods such as Green leafy vegetables, Soya bean, watermelon, raisins and pomegranate. Iron is an important element in the formation of hair.

2. Hair is a form of protein called Keratin. Hence, a Protein rich diet can be a savior. Best options are whole pulses, egg whites and cheese.

3. Biotin is a popular vitamin from the B-Complex series. It has a vital role in binding hair shafts together. Foods rich in this vitamin like dairy products, cauliflower and salmon also do miracles.

4. Zinc is also required for the synthesis of the hair strands. The foods rich in its biological form are legumes, nuts, pumpkin seeds, and oysters.

5. Unlike the above factors, ‘Stress’ and ‘Smoking’ are inversely related to the hair re-growth, but directly with the sudden loss. So, try your best to keep them at bay.

Disclaimer:

Hair responds to any stimulus after eight weeks. So if you have suffered illness or stress two months back, the resulting hair fall would be manifesting now. Similarly, if you start treatment for hair loss today, it would take at least eight weeks for the results to show. So, be patient and persistent.

If in any case it is difficult for you to include the vitamins and minerals mentioned here through your daily food intake, then ingesting multivitamins as a supplement to your diet can be an easy solution. Though it is convenient to pop a pill, but a prior advise from your family doctor would be advisable. You never know if you could end up developing an allergy or some malfunction due to them. But if things seems fine, then I recommend few of these.

                                                                              
                    B-complex with mineral Zinc                                     B-complex from a vegan source

Please note that one can use any of these to supplement the requirements of B-complex along with the daily diet. One includes Zinc too, so you would not require to have that mineral separately from another pill. The other one though does not include the mineral but the entire B-complex is derived from plants, therefore is completely sacred for vegans. They can then fulfill their Zinc requirements either from foods mentioned in the post or from a pill containing Zinc alone. 

Hope this helps, ENJOY !!
