			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any hair growth cycle would involve some amount of daily hair loss. We would lose hair every 2 to 3 months with 90% of the hair in a growing phase and 10% in resting phase. When hair loss exceeds the normal limit, people tend to get concerned. These include: There are several factor which could cause <a href="http://hairlossmedications.net/hair-loss-research.html">hair loss</a>. The common manifestation is the appearance of one or more spots on the scalp. This is the result of dysfunctional immune system when the white cells of the body attacks the hair follicles. Alopecia Totalis occurs when all of the scalp hair is lost. When all the body hair is lost it is called Alopecia Universalis, a rare condition.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.prokopi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/hair-loss.jpg" alt="Hair Loss" /></p>
<p><strong>Genetic conditions</strong> &#8211; Male pattern baldness afflicts about 25% of men by age 30. Not just genetic, the male hormone testosterone could also play a role. Testosterone converts to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which retards or stops hair growth and causes the emergence of weak or shorter hair. Men not possessing any testosterone would also not have male pattern baldness.</p>
<p><strong>Skin diseases:</strong> this could also be responsible for <a href="http://www.malehairlosstreatment.net/">hair loss</a> and it can affect the scalp. Such conditions include dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, scalp fungus such as ringworm and tinea captis.</p>
<p><strong>Sudden illness or fever:</strong> this could also cause massive hair loss. This is a temporary event though and soon passes off.</p>
<p>Childbirth, menopause, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and aging are some of the other factors which could be behind hair loss. These are the main reasons for losing hair but there are others.</p>
<p><strong>Hair loss can often be treated successfully:</strong> not only can you stop hair from falling but you can re-grow hair as well. Some of the natural means for hair loss treatment include:</p>
<p>1. Including vitamins A, B, C and E would accelerate new hair growth. These vitamins help to provide sebum, good blood circulation to the scalp by increasing oxygen absorption and collagen.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Care for the scalp:</strong> It would help a lot if you regularly massage your scalp using herbal oils like olive oil, jojoba oil, amla oil. Some natural therapy like essential oils of thyme, rosemary, lavender and cedar wood, are known for their efficacy in the treatment of alopecia areata.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Beware of scalp abuse:</strong> Avoid using harsh chemical shampoos daily and do away with blow drying. Hair and scalp can get severely damaged when you use chemical treatments like coloring as well as straightening. Even daily hair wash with hot water can damage the hair and scalp as hair then turns brittle and the natural oils dry up.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Use of herbal care:</strong> There are some very effective options here. Use powders of amla, shikakai, henna and ritha as shampoo and conditioner. Prevention of graying and hair loss could be achieved if you use amla powder, an effective anti-oxidant and one of the richest sources of natural vitamin C. If you want a thorough hair cleanser which does not rob hair of its natural oil, choose Shikakai, also know as the Fruit for hair. Henna then acts as a natural conditioner.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Lifestyle changes:</strong> This involves doing some stress management by doing exercises and meditation, as stress causes hair loss. Give up <a href="http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/specialtopic/smoking-and-smokeless-tobacco/overview.html">Smoking</a>: Smoking causes constriction of the blood vessel which supply blood to the scalp. If you want to prevent damage to the scalp from UV rays, avoid exposure to the sun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many adjustments to how they live their life will be necessary and some people cannot accept this. If you are not determined and willing to change your bad habits then it doesn&#8217;t matter what diet you are on, it probably would not work. The factors that dictate the speed at which a person sheds pounds is quite complex,a number of these are highlighted below:</p>
<p>Genetic conditions Previous mental anguish Attitude towards improving their health</p>
<p>Being overweight affects each person in many different ways! Excessive weight causes many problems, Of all the changes that happen to a person when they start to regain their old weight, it is those of being happy with what they are achieving that is the most pleasing. This is the reason why so many people want rapid weight loss systems, so they can start seeing results quickly but they also need support from family and friends,an approach that combines diet, exercise, emotional support and in some cases, diet supplements must be used if it is to be successful. start by learning a diet food plan that can easily be customized and incorporate an exercise plan that allows at least fifteen minutes a day of exercise such as brisk walking, <a href="http://www.weightlosswand.com/yoga/index.html">yoga</a>, running, swimming or dancing.</p>
<p>Not all rapid weight loss plans will work with everyone and those that do work will produce different results for everyone that uses them, If you find that your exercise regime and diet aren&#8217;t providing the weight loss fast enough you may need to adjust your regime accordingly. If you find a plan isn&#8217;t working as it should then perhaps you will need to change the diet plan as each person&#8217;s metabolism is different and you cannot expect every diet plan to work.</p>
<p>You may find that you are more comfortable walking than any other form of exercise,walking is an excellent exercise and it won&#8217;t hurt if there is a little muscle built up in the process because it burns calories faster. Drink plenty each day because a great deal of fluid requires replacing,drink plenty of water on your rapid weight loss program, at least six large glasses per day and don&#8217;t forget it also flushes out toxins from the body. Avoid fat drenched deep fried foods which can also mean fish and chicken if you are eating the wrong part of the animal.</p>
<p>Where ever possible have your food grilled as almost all of the fat is lost if not all of it so it&#8217;s much healthier. We all need energy to carry out daily tasks, and more if we perform physical activities, so do not stop eating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Carbohydrates">carbohydrates</a> otherwise you will find yourself tired all the time. Using a weight loss plan like this will mean that if followed correctly then around a pound a day will be lost, depending on the individual but it must be said that failure to maintain this level of 1,000 to 1,500 calories per day will ensure the weight will be put back on.</p>
