The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009

The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009 Download the Viviscal report: HERE (pdf file readable on most personal computers) Dr Nigel C Hunt, Associate Professor in Health Psychology at the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations, The University of Nottingham undertook the academic paper; The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009. The report is a large scale study into the psychosocial problems experienced by people with thinning hair and the attitudes of people towards those with thinning hair. Dr Nigel Hunt, an alopecia sufferer himself, said of the study “There is a need for more and better psychological help for people with thinning hair. If medical treatments do not work, then people need to learn to adapt to thinning hair. Currently, there is very little psychological treatment available, though we do know that people with thinning hair may experience clinical levels of psychiatric diagnoses such as anxiety, depression or social phobia. “Further research beyond that of the The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair is required to examine the effectiveness of psychological therapy for people with thinning hair. It is possible that psychological assistance may aid re-growth, as people who are stressed are more likely to experience thinning hair. Remove the stress, and perhaps remove the thinning hair. Of course, male and female pattern baldness is normal age-related thinning hair, and perhaps society should be accepting of these normal ageing processes”. read more here

Vitamins For Thinning Hair

Introduction to vitamins for healthy hair growth We all are aware that vitamins and minerals are components of our food needed for our growth, reproduction, and maintaining good general health, but vitamins themselves are only required in small amounts in our diet compared with fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Insufficient quantities of an individual vitamin or mineral can lead to deficiency diseases and over consumption of some vitamins or minerals can be toxic to an individual’s system. However, while vitamins and minerals are important for healthy hair growth, with the possible exception of iron, a deficiency in vitamins or minerals resulting in hair loss is fairly rare with the average North American or Western European diet. Of course, Vegans and others living on a restricted diet could be at more of a risk of having a deficiency in one or more vitamins and minerals if they fail to plan their diets and ensure their sources are wide enough to enable sufficient intake of all the relevant vitamins and nutrients. Some vitamins, such as vitamin B12, are almost exclusively found in meat and dairy products, so in the absence of meat intake a vegetarian inclined individual must compensate either by eating vitamin B12 rich plant foods or by taking supplements. Some evidence exists that vegetarians tend to have relatively lower levels of essential antioxidant trace elements such as Zinc, Copper, and especially Selenium, in their blood. In terms of healthy hair growth, the most important vitamins and minerals are: * Iron (and [...]
