Losing
your hair ?
When we look at the
possible causes of baldness, reducing the activity of
5 alpha reductase becomes even more exciting. The conversion
of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone is purported
to be the cause not only of prostatic enlargement but
of baldness as well.
Drugs that have been
used to treat prostatic enlargement have recently been
trialed to treat baldness.
Preliminary results
suggest that after one year 40 per cent of men will
have noticeable regrowth and a further 50 per cent will
stop losing their hair. The one drawback is the side
effect of diminished libido.
By taking a combination
of zinc, soy, evening primrose oil and the herb saw
palmetto not only may you prevent the problem of prostatic
enlargement but you may also prevent and even reverse
baldness.
Soy is also beneficial
with regard to prostate cancer as it contains a number
of substances that inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
Lycopene found in tomato
has similar effects. In short there are a number of
natural remedies that you can use to significantly impact
upon your health.
