Hari Loss During Menopause
As you may have noticed, as women age, they often are
dealing with thinning hair. Menopause is bad enough to go through, but adding
hair loss to the equation, makes it all the more difficult to handle. Hair loss
during menopause is due to the sudden hormone changes our bodies go through. If
you want to make sure this is the cause, you can check with a dermatologist,
and he can help you determine a treatment that will help slow down the process.
The fear of going bald during menopause is a real fear,
but you need to know that this is very rare. Your hair thinning though, is
typical. There are a lot of hormone factors involved in hair loss during
menopause. These factors are typically due to the sudden drop in estrogen. When
there is a low level of estrogen, a higher level of testosterone combined with
the enzyme 5 alpha reductase, this all forms DHT. This is the reason for hair
loss.
This is something we all stress over. There are more than
25 million women in America that stress over losing their hair during
menopause. To help ease your fear, I want you to know there are some natural
ways to deal this problem. You can't change the cause of hair loss during
menopause, but you can reduce how much hair you lose.
The easiest way to do this is to first, eat more fruits
and vegetables, as well as some whole grains. Biotin is something that is found
in these foods, and when we have a lack in biotin, we are more likely to lose
our hair.
Foods rich in biotin are green peas, oats, brown rice,
lentils, soy products, walnuts and sunflower seeds. Also, eating foods that are
rich in B-Vitamins are helpful in preventing thinning hair. These are foods
like salmon, egg yolks, carrots, acidosis, tomatoes, potatoes, peanuts,
bananas, asparagus, soybeans, herring and mackerel. You will want to also add
plenty of leafy greens, then you will have some great natural ways to slow down
hair loss during menopause.
