Hair Fitness and Diet
Black hair is one of the signs of youth and health. Hair loss, white hair and hair that is too thin, too dry and even falling off are closely related to the lack of certain nutrients in the body. Copper is an essential element for the synthesis of melanin in hair. When the copper content in human body is lower than the normal level, it can not only cause metabolic disorder and anemia, but also make hair growth stagnate, fade and gray hair occur. Foods such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, soybeans and hard fruits are rich in copper and pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid can promote the formation of melanin granules and is also an important nutrient for blackening hair. Zinc plays an important role in anti-aging and hair beautification. Zinc deficiency can lead to alopecia such as alopecia areata. Baldness is related to iron deficiency, accounting for about 30% of the incidence of baldness. Baldness caused by iron deficiency should eat more foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, egg yolk, auricularia, beans, day lily, alfalfa, mustard, red cabbage moss, celery, amaranth, sesame, kelp and so on. At the same time, you should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C to facilitate the absorption of iron. As long as you pay attention to your diet, hair loss can be cured and new hair will gradually grow. The ancients said that "blood depends on blood." Iron is the main component of hemoglobin, and blood is the foundation of hair care. From this point of view, it is very necessary to supplement iron from the diet in order to make the hair fit. Trace element iodine can * * * thyroid gland hormone. Thyroxine can make hair black and beautiful, so you should eat more foods rich in iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, sea cucumber, clams and other seafood. Cystine deficiency is one of the causes of hair loss. The reason why people who are fond of thick paste and taste are prone to baldness is that there is a lack of cysteamine in fat meat, which first shows that the head oil is heavy and the hair is shiny, then gradually dries up and becomes brittle or bifurcated, and finally leads to baldness. Therefore, the intake of cystine should be increased in the diet. Foods rich in cystine and protein, such as black rice, oats, gluten, corn, black beans, yellow beans, peanut kernels, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Foods rich in high-quality protein, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B 1 all have the effect of nourishing hair. Vitamin C has the functions of calming, calming the nerves, softening hair and strengthening blood vessels. You should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C. Seaweed and sesame are rich in iodine, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. Bean sprouts, malt, kelp, tofu, bean products, beef, fish, milk, eggs and so on are good sources of high-quality protein and B vitamins.

Don't forget to adjust your heart when treating baldness.
I just entered the consulting room, and before I could change my work clothes, a middle-aged man wearing a cap and sunglasses followed me in. When he sat down, he said, "Doctor, I'm really unlucky. Half a year ago, I divorced because of emotional disharmony with my wife. Just when my life was at a low ebb, the unit benefits were not good, so I lost my job, and my marriage and career both failed, which made me feel that life was worse than death. A few days ago, I suddenly found that my hair had fallen off. In less than a few days, I had bald spots on my head. A friend said it was difficult to find a psychiatrist.
Tao, is this related to mental factors? "
Human hair has an average of100000 hairs. If it falls off within1000 hairs every day, it is normal and it is physiological alopecia. Common pathological alopecia includes seborrheic alopecia, male alopecia, alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecia. Alopecia areata, commonly known as "ghost shaving", is related to genetic, immune and neuroendocrine changes.
A kind of alopecia related to other factors, such as no inflammation and no conscious symptoms, and severe cases can be completely bald. Patients with alopecia areata often have a nail cover or a coin-sized round hair loss area on their heads, with obvious boundaries, different numbers and sizes, and the hair at the edge of the hair loss area is loose and easy to pull out. If the symptoms of alopecia areata continue to develop, all the hair will fall off, which is called total alopecia. If the hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, armpit hair, * * * and the whole body hair and beard fall off, it is called alopecia universalis.
Mental stress and emotional factors have a great influence on alopecia areata. Some scholars have pointed out that 23% patients have a history of mental trauma or anxiety before onset, and 63% patients have neurosis. People with alopecia areata are often nervous and have a bad mood. They encounter negative life events such as college entrance examination, fighting, traffic accidents and death of relatives, and suffer from neurasthenia, excessive fatigue, MUBI at night, lack of sleep, etc., and most of them have personality characteristics such as impatience, stubbornness, unstable mood and stubborn attitude. They tend to be competitive, eager for success or sulking.
The occurrence of this disease may be caused by mental factors, which affect the internal environment balance of the body through a series of changes in the nervous, endocrine and immune systems, leading to pathological alopecia. As a stressor, marital breakdown, unemployment or other blows can affect people's mental health and cause psychological trauma. On the basis of genetic and immune factors, psychological trauma can lead to pathological hair loss, which is the reason why people who suffer from blows are prone to alopecia areata.
Therefore, the treatment of baldness needs not only drugs, but also psychotherapy. Timely implementation of long-term care, psychological consultation, crisis intervention and treatment services for people who are frustrated or suffering from disasters will have a positive impact on improving their health level. At the same time, patients should pay attention to psychological adjustment, maintain psychological balance, feel comfortable, combine work and rest, pay attention to controlling emotions, and don't lose your temper easily. For those with obvious depression and anxiety, some antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Treatment of baldness: soak a proper amount of Zanthoxylum bungeanum in high-alcohol liquor. When it is used one week later, use a clean soft cloth dipped in this immersion liquid to wipe the scalp several times a day. If you wash your hair with ginger juice, the effect will be better.
