All That Stress Making You Go Bald?

Have you ever been so stressed out that you just wanted to scream your head off and say whatever is on your mind?

I will be the first to tell you that I've felt that way numerous of times. Especially like yesterday when my computer kept crashing and I just bought the thing a week ago.

Sometimes we just can't win for losing. Ever wondered if all that stress you're dealing with is having an effect on the way your hair grows? Well you're in for a treat because I'm going to expose something to you that you may not have given much thought too. Or at least you may not have looked at it in such a way that I'm going to show you.

You see when you're feeling down and out or just plain tired from a hard day's work, your body triggers this stress by way of hormones called androgens in your body. This can really mess up your hair growth cycle, as these androgens disrupt normal functions.

Allow this to continue and you're only going to see more and more hair fall out rapidly. You need a solution for your problem but before we get into that, take a look at the two biggest causes for stress-related hair loss.

Poor Diet

Many times a stressed person leads a poor diet. They try to make up for it by eating something like a greasy cheeseburger or a big bowl of ice cream. You may think that you're cheering yourself up by doing this, but this kind of behavior prolongs your hair loss problems. It actually supports it to be honest, and I'm sure that you're not into promoting bald heads.

So pay very close attention to your eating habits, especially during periods of stress. And I almost forgot to mention this to you too. Some foods and various other things like caffeine can lead to highs and lows that make you depressed. Watch your intake of these as well.

Personal Habits

Think about two things that are a big problem in most countries, especially the United States, that people take part in to relieve stress.

Still guessing?

I'm talking about cigarette smoking and indulgence in alcohol. Nicotine is a drug and it is very habit forming. Studies show that it shortens your life span and even affects hair growth. Alcohol is the second big factor that can contribute to thinning hair.

It's okay to have a beer or some wine in moderation, but be careful of how often you decide to have a drink. Research shows that the average person loses 100 hairs a day. That's normal. However those who smoke and drink regularly show anywhere from 200 or more hairs lost every single day. That's way too much for your body to replace in a timely manner.

Hope I didn't sound too much like a big health enthusiast? I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of how stress-related hair loss gets started and how you can avoid it.

Now other than stress there are some big things you need to consider that can play an even greater role in your fight to stop hair loss and regrow what you've lost. They affect all of us, man, woman, child, old or young. If you want to start working on a unique plan to naturally fight hair loss, I highly recommend the Hair Loss Black Book.
