Our bodies thrive on vitamins and minerals and when we cheat our tissues, organs, and brains out of these much-needed elements, we suffer in several different ways. As well as difficulties in brain functioning we may begin to notice break-outs, dark circles under our eyes and even fine lines and wrinkles! As as well as this hair fall and thinning unhealthy hair could occur.
Men are more likely to experience more hair loss than women as the over production of testosterone can sometimes lead to the super testosterone hormone DHT. This causes hair follicles of the scalp and other areas to constrict, and the skin to tighten, caused by a lack of blood flow. Constricting hair follicles cause the roots of the hair to die and not regenerate. As a result, the hair falls out.
