Hair Loss: What’s Causing It?

By on Health News Smart Living

ORLANO, FL (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Hair loss affects over 80 million Americans. By the age of 30, 25 percent of men will experience it and 12 percent of women will experience it. While genetics is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women, there are many other factors that can cause you to shed.

No matter how creative you are, it’s hard to cover up your bald spots. Many are unsure of what is even causing it to happen.

The first culprit to balding is soda. One study in men showed that those who drank soda experienced a 57 percent greater chance of hair loss than those who did not. High sugar intake is known to cause weight gain and increase the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes, both of which are linked to hair loss.

Another thing that causes hair loss is stress. According to Penn Medicine, when a person experiences stress, the body produces the hormone cortisol. Elevated levels can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss.

Also, make sure you are getting enough vitamins. Lack of biotin, zinc, and iron can lead accelerated hair loss.

Even a severe accident, surgery, or burns can shock the hair follicles and cause up to 75 percent of your hair falling out, sometimes several months after the fact.

In the end, if your locks are less than what they used to be, check in with your doctor to find out the root of the problem.

Some other culprits are thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, psoriasis, and ringworm. Many of the foods you eat can also be responsible for the way your hair is treated. Foods that are dairy heavy, high in sugar, grease, carbonated, refined carbs, and sword fish have also been linked to increased hair loss.
