Prevention for Hair Loss

A study shows that 1/3 of men experience hair loss/baldness at some stage or age of their lives. The most common type of hair loss that affects men is called male pattern baldness (MPB), also known as "Androgenetic alopecia." Although male pattern baldness may start as early as age 17, 50% of the severely affected are those in their late twenties. The main reason behind this condition is still unknown but it is believed that genes and the male sex hormone (testosterone) are the main culprits.


I discovered that no matter their age, almost everybody is concerned with their physical appearance and looks. Apart from the physical facial appearance, hair plays a vital role in looks. Today, I went to a few next doors open houses and I saw a lot of bald men. Well, let me tell you what I’ve learned so far. :)

Here we will look into the types of baldness and treatments.

There are two types of baldness which is:

• Male Pattern Baldness : is the most common pattern, a man losses much or all of the hair over the top of the head.
  
• Female Pattern Baldness : it involves thinning of the hair but not complete baldness.
  

Treatment for Baldness :

1. Wash hair everyday with an Aloe Vera , Avocado and jojoba based shampoo, massage the scalp gently, it will help open the pores and eliminate excess oil and dirt.

2. Let warm water run directly onto the scalp for a few minutes. This will help open the pores.

3. Take a multivitamin like bee pollen in addition to taking multi-minerals.

First Aid: Tooth Loss

If your tooth is knocked out, get emergency dental care. It's sometimes possible to successfully reimplant permanent teeth that have been knocked out but this is an option only if you follow the steps below immediately before you see a dentist.


If your tooth is knocked out:

• Handle your tooth by the top only, not the roots.

• Don't rub it or scrape it to remove debris. This damages the root surface, making the tooth less likely to survive.

• Gently rinse your tooth in a bowl of tap water. Don't hold it under running water.

• Try to replace your tooth in the socket. If it doesn't go all the way into place, bite down gently on gauze or a moistened tea bag to help keep it in place. Hold the tooth in place until you see your dentist.

• If you can't replace your tooth in the socket, immediately place it in whole milk, your own saliva or a warm, mild saltwater solution — 1/4 teaspoon salt to 1 quart water (1.2 milliliters salt to about 1 liter water).

• Get medical attention from a dentist or emergency room immediately.

If you participate in contact sports, you can often prevent tooth loss by wearing a mouth guard, fitted by your dentist.
