We have a natural tendency to become
defensive and overreact to anything which threatens our appearance. Hair loss
is an obvious and severe threat to how we perceive ourselves. It causes such
insecurity some people may feel they have no choice but to overcompensate for
the problem. Unfortunately, they are falling into a trap and making the problem
worse.
In 1997, a scientist followed the lives of
over 4300 male hair loss sufferers. The purpose of the study was to examine
aspects of their lifestyle which may be causing or accelerating the hair loss. The
results were very interesting.
Compared to men with a full head of hair,
these men were 32% more likely to drink over 5 alcoholic drinks each day. They
were 151% more likely to smoke cigarettes than men with healthy hair. In
general, these men were 72% more likely to indulge in dangerous habits like
driving aggressively and taking physical risks.
Even more interesting were the indicators
of health in these men. They were 25% more likely to suffer a major injury. Even
worse, they were 76% more likely to have a heart attack.
Consider for a moment the factors which
cause hair loss. Hair loss is a direct result of a hormone imbalance creating
too much testosterone and too much of the testosterone derivative, DHT. Anything
which increases testosterone will increase hair loss.
Hormone imbalances occur naturally, but how
we care for our body can turn a minor imbalance into a major problem. Smoking and
drinking prevents the natural production of enzymes which balance and
counteract testosterone. Even worse, risky and aggressive behavior forces the
brain to signal the creation of more testosterone.
These men were suffering from too much testosterone,
yet lived lifestyles which promoted more testosterone. Some men admitted they
used aggressive behavior to feel more masculine and attractive. Other men
acknowledged it as a self-punishment because of their disappointing looks. In
every case, a man’s overcompensation for hair loss created an environment for
greater hair loss.
Instead of overcompensating for your
problem, why not try to solve it? Why
not find a way to reduce testosterone and create a hormonal balance within your
body? If that sounds like a better
solution than trying to make you feel better mentally, it is time to solve your problem now.Click here for free tips and more....
