I'm not even a doctor, but I can ask what theory it is.
But I don't know that I'm a doctor.
The underlying cause of hair loss is still being studied.
The hormones and specific genetic factors that cause hair loss have been identified
The trigger for why such genetic factors are expressed with age is something that requires further study.
For example, why androgen receptors become sensitive and why 5 alpha reduction elements increase.
There's a reason why I became interested in triggers.
First, I'll tell you the history of the family. Only my maternal grandfather is bald.
My uncles have a little less hair, not bald
My uncle's sons are not bald either. I'm still in my early 20s, so I'll have to watch.
My eldest aunt's two sons (40s) are not bald either.
My little aunt's little son is the same age as me, but hair loss is not progressing.
I'm the only one in my maternal grandfather's offspring.
However, among the descendants mentioned, I am the only one who is constantly doing it.
It's exercise.
But the reason for my hair loss is not exercise. What do you mean.
My full-fledged exercise began in mid-2010. It's a pretty hard home training, and it's only natural.
I started taking supplements at the end of 2015. We have a variety of supplements.
Usually, whey protein is what we eat a lot, so it is a protein extracted from milk.
There are also types of whey proteins, so they are classified into WPC->WPI->WPH depending on the protein content.
I had a WPI. I clearly remember that my hair got ripped off when I took a shower from the first half of 2016
The watercolor hole in the shower room was blocked. Every time. I didn't think much of it then.
There was no hair loss among my relatives on my mother's side, so the problem of hair loss has never surfaced in my life.
I lived a life without thinking much, and when I looked in the mirror, my forehead was clearly raised and my hair in my head was weak.
I recognized it properly at the end of November last year, and I eventually had a hair transplant at the end of December.
Interestingly, I took all the supplements around September. I haven't lost my hair in the last two or three months.
I don't drink much, don't smoke, and exercise every day because I have health concerns.
It can be said that taking supplements is the biggest change in eating habits.
whey protein belongs to animal protein. If you eat too much animal protein for a long time
The blood becomes acidic. Calcium is used in the process of neutralizing blood, and that calcium is removed from the bones.
There are many papers and articles that the reason why there are so many osteoporosis patients in the United States who eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of milk is milk.
That doesn't mean that not all meat eaters are goldfish. If you have a good metabolism or nutrient release
A good person would be fine. with a great deal of activity. Usually, you don't have to eat a lot of protein.
Arnold Schwarzenegger says that people who work out also need only one gram of protein per kilogram.
If you eat more protein than you need, your cell's metabolism improves unnecessarily.
Every metabolism in the body is made up of proteins. Cells and enzymes themselves are proteins.
Inflammation is also part of the metabolic process and is activated together.
(For your information, moderate exercise lowers blood inflammation levels. It was introduced to the life and death service.)
Bald people are sensitive to DHT.
This DHT creates reactive oxygen species and this reactive oxygen species induces TGF-β
TGF-β attacks hair follicles. There's one more TGF-β factor, but I can't remember.
The high number of reactive oxygen species means that the body's inflammation level is high. Excessive protein intake boosts inflammation levels.
There is a lot of talk that IGF-1 helps hair growth, but there are studies that stimulate 5 alpha reduction factors with minority opinions.
If IGF-1 stimulates the 5-alpha reduction factor, sugar may be the main culprit for hair loss. It is true that Korean foods are sweeter than in the past. You might think it's related.
>> My theory
People who have hair loss genes
The key is to insensitive the androgen receptor or reduce the 5 alpha reduction factor.
Of course, these theories are meaningless if you take finasteride drugs.
But I don't want to take medicine as much as possible. I'm eating it now, but ultimately, I don't eat it
I want to make my body condition enough to lose less.
I think the way to desensitize the androgen receptor is to reduce meat intake first.
If you're not growing up, you don't have to eat meat at all. I don't recommend vegetarianism.
However, the plant protein in legumes does not have cholesterol and the plant itself has a lot of minerals
It is said that it does not cause acidification of blood during the metabolic process. But that doesn't have to be too much.
Excessive protein intake stimulates the body's cells unnecessarily.
In my case, I tend to gain weight easily. Unless your body is swollen because of kidney failure
It can be said that it is in good nutrition. My workout method is low weight and high repetition, but I've increased my protein intake
The body may be in a state of excessive protein from the standpoint.
In addition, I think that acidification of blood may stimulate the 5α reduction factor.
The rate of hair loss among Koreans is increasing. It's because of the westernization of food.
I think increasing meat consumption and milk consumption play a part.
Acidification of blood + increased cellular activity of the body (including inflammation, reactive oxygen species)
>> Question
For those of you whose hair loss has progressed for your age (in your 20s)
I wonder if anyone eats meat often.
Meat is always on the table at home (ham, donggrang, etc.)
When you eat at work at lunch, you eat only meat side dishes.
>> My current status
M, whose hair follicles had already died, had no choice but to transplant
The heads of the two governments found strength again. My hair is short right now.
It's almost the same feeling when you put your back hair up in reverse, and when you put your head in reverse.
Of course, I don't think the hair growth rate has fully recovered. But I feel like I'm coming back.
It's been a little over a month since I took pinasteride.
It may simply be because of the medicine, but there are also changes in eating habits. I cut off unnecessary whey protein.
The overall amount of meals has also been reduced.
I took multivitamins regularly and changed it to brown rice protein. Your intake is less than the standard.
And I started eating BCAA. These are three essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis.
Those who don't work out can also eat it. Some foreign studies have shown that it is better than minoxidil.
I'm taking a break from work, so I'm more aware of it.
I hope it will be of any help to those who want to slow down hair loss by improving their eating habits.
