Once it has begun, stopping hair loss is neigh on an impossible task. Hair restoration is a possibility in some cases but you have to lose it before you can restore it. Losing one’s hair under normal conditions is painless, well, physically painless anyway, although a few men will put themselves through the emotional wringer with worry and failed attempts to halt male pattern baldness.

Society has informed us that a balding or bald headed man is a far cry from beauty, whereas having hair, and being able to take care of that hair is part of a complete person. Being bald is not the same as choosing to be bald through fashion and trend. It’s easy to see a fashionably shaved head over a patchy balding one where the hair has fallen out.

For him, he being the worrier, losing hair is akin to losing a limb, not physically, but emotionally. Depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and a withdrawal from society, are all common symptoms for those men who refuse to accept a condition that affects millions worldwide.

Why is it that the peoples of nations are getting fatter and fatter and fatter with each passing generation? Is it because we no longer care for our body? All we see in lifestyle magazines these days are weight loss diets for him, for her, and even for teens. Yes, obesity, once a curse of the older generations is now plaguing high school kids and even some juniors in a major way. So who do we blame, the parents?

There seems to be little care about the food we eat these days so long as it’s quick and pre-prepared. Whether it’s tasty party finger foods of the family dinner, everything these days seems to come out of a box and either heated in an oven or warmed in a microwave oven.

We are what we eat, and just look at us all in the twenty-first century! Hardly a picture or health and fitness are we? But even if we care little for our own waistline, surely we should care for the health of our children. Sadly, and going by the huge increase in child obesity, it seems that living a healthy lifestyle through food and activity is not at the top of the priority list with most parents.
