Hair Loss – Women and Vitamin Deficiency

One of the things women need to be aware of is their nutrition. Vitamins are essential tools in caring for your body. In proper balance, vitamins help keep the body in as a healthy a state as possible. not having enough of certain vitamins can cause any number of health conditions including hair loss. Hair loss, women, and vitamin deficiency is a bad connection.

Vitamins for Hair Health

Vitamin a is stored in the liver. if too much is consumed, the excess will be stored in other parts of the body. this could cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea, lethargy, headaches and hair loss. too little vitamin a can cause coarse hair and dry skin. Food sources of vitamin a include cabbage, apricots, carrots, peaches, eggs, milk, cheese, and even fish liver oil.

Vitamin E is important in hair loss. Vitamin E is said to be helpful in preventing the loss of hair and in stalling the process of hair going gray. Food sources of vitamin E are green leafy vegetables, seeds, dried beans, nuts, and spinach to name a few. your blood pressure could rise when taking vitamin E so it suggested that if you have high blood pressure that you talk to your doctor before taking vitamin E.

Inositol is a B vitamin found in citrus fruits, whole grains, liver, and in yeast. an inositol deficiency can not only cause hair loss, but eczema as well. It is important in keeping the scalp and hair healthy. as an added benefit, it has also been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels.

Vitamin H is also known as Biotin. Like vitamin E, it helps to prevent hair loss and the graying of hair. Biotin is found in food sources such as egg yolk, kidney, liver, yeast, and milk. It may also be of benefit in nail health and skin health.

Vitamin B group vitamins related to hair loss are B3, B5, and B12. Vitamin B 3 is found in meats, fish, wheat germ and brewer's yeast. Vitamin B 5 is found in egg yolk, meats, and yeast. Vitamin B6 is found in bananas, white and sweet potatoes, as well as spinach.

Eating fresh fruits and vegetables particularly citrus fruits and tomatoes are good sources of folic acid. Eating whole and fortified grain products and beans (lentils) are also sources of folic acid.

Consuming protein is also very good for keeping your hair healthy. most people tend not to eat enough protein. It can be found in meat, fish, chicken, soy, and eggs. At least one serving per day should be eaten.

There are trace minerals that can benefit your hair such as zinc. It is helpful to take a multivitamin that also contains such trace minerals. the Daily Recommended Allowance is listed on the label.

Deficiencies of these vitamins and minerals can cause a multitude of health conditions. this includes hair loss. this can be prevented by taking the proper amount and eating a healthy diet. on the other hand, consuming too high a dose of them can also cause health conditions. your doctor or a nutritionist can help you to decide what the proper amount for your needs is appropriate.

Conclusion

Vitamins as well as trace minerals are an integral part of maintaining healthy hair. Hair loss, women, and vitamin deficiency are preventable with the intake of the proper amounts of vitamins as well as some trace minerals. a healthy diet may not provide the daily recommended allowance and it is advised that you should take a multivitamin supplement. some types of hair loss can be prevented; others can be treated.

    Hair loss, like other hair problems, often is linked to deficiencies in the diet. Dry hair may indicate a lack of essential fatty acids; greasy hair sometimes correlates with Vitamin B-complex deficiency. Loss of color is thought to be due to lack of zinc or Vitamin B-5. Long-term hair loss and baldness are usually genetic. Scalp massage and a diet rich in nutrients can greatly improve the condition of your hair. Some have found that massage with an alcohol extract is especially effective.
    Recommended vitamins:
    Vitamin B complex-- essential for healthy hair Vitamin C -- boosts overall health; deficiency is associated with hair loss (500 to 1,000 mg daily) Vitamin E: 400 to 500 IU daily

    I did read up on this and I do remember the Vitamin D2 and D3. I don't remember if there are more variations of Vitamin D though. I'd have to look it up. However, one Vitamin D comes from the sun and the other from food. I know Omega 3 is a good supplement. The articles talked of spending 15 minutes a day in the sun 3 x per week on 3 seperate days. It also listed foods for the Vitamin D which was obtained from food. However, too much D can be toxic as it is stored in the Liver and not water soluble. I see my Dr. soon but I have begun a supplement dose of 400 IU derived from fish liver oil. Too soon to notice any change. Now I will wait and get directions from my Dr. and go from there.Due to the issue of water soluble or fat soluble, it is well advised for anyone to speak with their physician regarding this or any supplementing to avoid toxicity and its possible adverse side affects, as well as possibly being fatal. I believe the "mind set" may be out there in a good % of the population that just because something is not a prescription it is not unsafe and cannot hurt you if you take too much or take with other medications one may be already taking, when the exact opposite is true. Funny how this is not regulated, as it seems so much is now days, i.e. trans fat oil used for cooking in restaurants.If taking Vitamin D, opposed to more chemicals (drugs) will help with pain, this will be a wonderful Christmas present. It takes time to be sure though, due to the fluctuation in the symptoms severity, duration, and how each day will be from hour to hour and so on. In trying new treatments for Fibromyalgia specifically, I believe it takes at least a good 6 months to come to a conclusion one can be feel ssomewhat secure with.]]>
