The treatment of heart diseases, which cause the death of millions of people every year, is of vital importance. Many people die without even realizing that they have heart disease. In order to prevent this situation, it is necessary to be conscious about the symptoms of heart diseases. According to research, hair loss can mean loss of circulation, and there is a high correlation between balding of the upper posterior head and cardiovascular disease. Health experts warn that caution should be exercised for men with a history of both cardiovascular disease and premature hair loss.
KELLER’S RISK OF HEART DISEASE WAS HIGHER 32 PERCENT
A man’s hairline may be an indicator of heart disease risk, according to a previous study at the University of Tokyo. The research included an integrated analysis of multiple surveys with approximately 37,000 respondents. Men suffering from severe male pattern baldness were found to have a 32% higher risk for coronary heart disease than others.
THE RISK IS MUCH HIGHER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HAIR LINES REDUCED
It was also found that men suffering from androgenetic alopecia have an increased risk of coronary heart disease, with a 48% increase in the most severe cases of baldness. The risk of coronary heart disease increased by 69% in those whose forehead hairline receded with alopecia.
MALE HORMONE SENSITIVITY CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASES
Chen Hsin Hung, MD, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at the Joyful HAN Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taiwan, believes the causes of increased risk of coronary heart disease in bald people may be related to insulin resistance, diabetes, chronic inflammation or male hormone sensitivity. However, more research is needed for a more definitive answer.
RISK FACTORS OF HEART DISEASES
“Classic risk factors such as diabetes, family history of coronary disease, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are responsible for the vast majority of cardiovascular diseases.
OTHER LESS-KNOWN RISK FACTORS IN HEART DISEASE
Possible red flags when it comes to an increased risk of heart disease include:
- sexual dysfunction
- Sleep apnea
- High consumption of hard plastic food and beverage containers
- Marriage stress.
HOW TO INCREASE HAIR REGROWTH?
When it comes to dieting to help reduce a person’s hair loss, Chen recommends cutting back on sweets, sodas, and alcohol. She also suggests adding darker vegetables and protein, which are said to help promote hair follicle growth. Other lifestyle habits include getting enough sleep, quitting smoking, and reducing the amount of stress in your life by practicing more mindful techniques and getting enough exercise.
