Baldness/ Thinning Hair

Thinning hair is a very common and agonizing problem. More than 65 million Americans suffer from this embarrassing condition. If you suspect that your hair is thinning but you do not appear to have any noticeable signs of baldness, it is important to determine whether your hair is actually thinning or if the hair fall is normal. A hair loss of 50-100 strands per day is considered to be normal and anything more than this is a cause for concern.

Causes and Risk Factors Hair loss can result from several causes such as genetics, old age, illness, malnutrition, and side effects from medications. Other causes of hair loss include the following: Stress - When you suffer from stress, your hair enters what is called a resting or protective stage. Learning to control or manage your stress will cause less hair to enter the resting stage and prevent the thinning of hair. Unhealthy dietary practice - Following unhealthy eating habits such as excessively consuming junk or processed foods and consuming a lack of protein may contribute to thinning hair. These practices result in thinning hair because protein is a major component of hair growth. Hormonal changes - Hormonal changes that are brought about by pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation, and menopause can cause hair to fall out, but it may only be temporary. Excessive or extreme dieting also causes hormone shifts. Hair loss is also one of the major symptoms of anorexia and bulimia.

	Illnesses and medical conditions - Certain illnesses and medical conditions such as thyroid disorders, surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy can also lead to thinning hair.
	Other causes - Taking birth control pills, iron deficiency, or hair loss related conditions such as Alopecia areata and Androgenic alopecia can also lead to thinning hair.

Women are usually more prone to suffering from hangovers than are men and researchers believe that this difference occurs because women tend to weigh less than men and their bodies contain less water, which increases the risk of intoxication and subsequent hangovers. Some people are genetically more susceptible to suffer from hangover. The manner in which alcohol is metabolized varies among individuals, which means that some people may sweat or become sick after consuming even a tiny amount of alcohol.
