(Medical-NewsWire.com, December 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- It turns out, according to some scientists, that hair loss may not be simply a genetic matter for men and women. From chronic to emotional stress, and lifestyle induced hormone imbalances or nutritional shortfalls, there are many things that can lead to the loss of one's hair.
A large portion of hair loss comes from side effects of external conditions like the effects of a medication. There is no doubt that genetics can play a part, and is often touted as a common cause of hair loss; however, it may only be a small contributing factor, and is now seen as not the lone cause.
Hormones are known to regulate much of the body's functions, and hair loss is no different. The hormonal imbalance, however, may not be as simple as a genetic predisposition. There are several hormones involved in hair retention and loss.
The thyroid produces and regulates several hormones that involve metabolism and energy levels. The thyroid can have afflicting conditions which can be genetic, but just as easily can be a product of improper choices in lifestyle.
Toxic chemicals can also contribute in hair loss. Cleaning products, chemicals used in food supply, and other toxins that are found throughout some forms of daily life can affect the thyroid. This can cause the gland to overact or cease to function, which again contributes to hair loss. The largest contributors to hair loss are blood-thinning medications, beta-blockers, anti-inflammatory drugs, birth control, and antidepressants. Common health conditions like diabetes can also severely affect the loss of air.
There is no doubting that stress affects the body and mind, and hair loss is just one of the overall side effects of continuous stress. Injuries and physical traumas can also lead to hair loss, as up to 75% of hair can fall out due to severe enough trauma.
A poor diet helps nothing, and that includes the retention of hair. The body is affected fully by poor diet and lack of exercise. A slothed lifestyle causes the thyroid to be affected, and drastic fad diets are no help to the gland either. Both can cause hair loss.
Vitamins and minerals are being proven as more and more effective to retaining hair. Vitamin C and B-7 are noted to be highly useful for retention and strength. Protein is also useful for the maintenance and growth of hair as well.
