HOW DOES STRESS EFFECT YOUR HAIR?
Stress is a factor that produces body and mental tension. Whatever happens in the mind influences the body and vice versa. Whenever they are out of sync, physical and mental stress will occur. Some of the symptoms of stress are irregular breathing, frequent tapping of fingers, change in appetite, loss of humor, inability to sleep, oversleeping, frequent stomach upset, difficulty in thinking, increased drinking and smoking, increase in tranquilizer intake, endless anxiety and depression, cold hands, frequent gritting of teeth, eyestrain, repeated headaches, and high blood pressure. Stress can also result into hair loss in patches known as ALOPECIA AREATA, thinning, and TRICHOTILLOMANIA, pulling out of ones own hair.
When stressed out, the body sets off a chain of chemical reactions 1. The blood sugar soars. 2. Minerals are mobilized from the blood stream and the bones. 3. Fat is produced at an alarming rate. 4.The heart rate and breathing speed up. 5.The body is drained of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. 6.The hair and nails get nutrients last from the body nutrition system, due to stress, the hair and nails don't get the required amount of nutrition, which results to very slow growth, dry, brittle, and wiry.
Hair is 97% percent protein and 3 percent moisture. This strong, fibrous protein, called Keratin, also comprises our nails and, in animals, claws, feathers, horns, and fur. The factors that can affect the health of your hair include hormone changes, genetics, environmental circumstances, thyroid problems, immune disorders, smoking, the use of harsh chemicals on the hair, medication, stress level, infections, hair dressing techniques, and a diet that does not have the proper vitamins, mineral and fatty acids. Some of the possible causes for hair breakage are fungal infections, permanent relaxers or waves, or color treatments, excessive exposure to sunlight, and poor diet. The best way to provide hair follicles with the nutrients they need for active growth is through the bloodstream. Hair is also a very good indicator of our general state of health and well being. The vitamins helpful for improving the condition of your hair include vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin B17, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, Biotin, Calcium, Choline, Chromium, Copper, Linoleum Acid, Fiber, Folic Acid, Inositol, Iodine, Iron, Lecithin, Magnesium, Manganese, Niacin, Paba, Pantothenic Acid, Potassium, Selenium, and Zinc.
