Question: what to do about my hair fall
Brief Answer:
Rest, good hygeine and a healthy diet are key to avoiding hairfall
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I see you want to try and control your harifall. That's a fine thing, just so long as you remember that NOT ALL hairfall can be prevented. Adult men normally lose hair and male pattern baldness is a genetic process that occurs with age. There is no reversing it.
To ensure slower loss of hair and to make sure that you are not balding prematurely, I would suggest you look to the following.
1) Management of physical and emotional stress: If work or lack of sleep are stressing you out, this releases cortisol hormone into your system and lowers your natural testosterone production, encouraging hairfall. Do what you need to do to make sure you are getting adequate sleep and that your stress levels are managed well.
2) Hygeine: Dandruff is a white flaky fungal infection that causes hair fall. If you are suffering from dandruff, then a shampoo containing ketoconazole should be used for at least 3 weeks.
Lastly diet is important
For the betterment of diet kindly follow the suggestions below:
1. Eat at least 3-4 different fruits saplings per day. Every fruit is good but you can make a combination of sour with sweet fruits such as oranges, papaya and other of seasonal fruits.
2. Pulses are good source of proteins. So everyday have a small bowel full of mixed pulses. Add green leafy vegetables additionally in the pulses which contains lot of iron and vitamins in it.
3. Sprouts are the best source of fibers, minerals especially iron, vitamins and proteins too. so add it at-least alternate day if you can not make in every-day's part of meal.
4. Over night soaked and peeled almonds will give you good vitamin E which is good for the hair growth.
5. Milk and milk products should be included in every-day's schedule.
6.Do light exercises, reduce your work stress as all these have bit impact on skin so also on scalp skin.
Look to these issues to better your health in general and rest assured that you are doing everything you can to arrest hair fall.
I hope this has helped you, feel free to follow-up,
