2004Corpus Christi's been rated the
baldest city by Men's Health magazine.
Shocked? Some are, some aren't.
Dr. Osvaldo Brusco, endocrinologist, "Very high levels of
testosterone can certainly increase the prevalence of baldness."
As Dr. Brusco explains, testosterone works a bit differently on the
body when there's an excess amount of it.
"That would specifically block this enzyme, therefore we would have
less of a local level on the scalp less of a concentration of this
androgene," Brusco says.
This makes it less likely for hair follicles to try and grow, but too
much testosterone may not be the only problem. Stress can inhibit hair
growth and cause other health-related problems too.
He says, "It can be high blood pressure or it can be high blood
sugars, diabetes."
So Dr. Brusco suggests to get off the couch, turn off the T.V. and go
for a walk. Otherwise you may instigating some more unhealthy problems.
"Changing your diet in a more healthy way and decreasing the total
daily amount of calories," he advises.
Remember, eating and living healthy lifestyle can prevent diseases.
Those diseases are inhibitors, which you need medication for...or
radiation and then in the long-run can cause balding just as much as
inheriting the gene from your parents.
