Genes

When it comes to genes, we know a lot more about hair loss among men, but there is definitely a genetic component of hair loss among women too but it is a different kind of hair loss – hereditary baldness in men usually causes the hairline to recede while in women, there is a general thinning of the hair on the head.  

Stress

It’s difficult to diagnose stress as the cause of hair loss. Stress can be in the form of physical stress, such as recovering from surgery, but it can also be mental stress from situations in one’s personal life or at work. In such a case, it is plausible that the loss of hair will manifest only a few months after the cause of the stress. This type of hair loss is only temporary and within a few weeks, the hair will grow back to what it was previously.

Age

While most of us associate aging hair mainly with going gray, age also affects hair loss among both men and women. In fact, more than 50% of women experience hair loss or thinning as a result of aging by the age of 70. Women who are prone to hair loss for genetic reasons will begin to see it during menopause, because of the decrease in the levels of the estrogen hormone.

Diseases and taking medication

The health of our hair can be damaged by an autoimmune disease, such as psoriasis, or by polycystic ovaries, but also by diseases, such as flu or corona and dysfunction or overactivity of the thyroid gland. In addition, sometimes it’s not the disease itself that causes hair loss, but rather the medication, and hair loss can be caused by a wide variety of medications, including antidepressants or birth control pills. However, in cases such as these, the condition is reversible, and the hair will grow back when you stop taking the medication and, in some cases, even if you continue taking it because the body gets used to it.

Hair treatments

How we take care of our hair can also cause it to fall out. Gathering hair into a tight ponytail, for example, weakens the roots of the hair and may cause hair loss. In addition, hair products that contain different chemicals or treatments that require using heat may cause hair loss if used too frequently. There’s no reason to stop dyeing your hair or blow drying it, just be sure to give your hair a break from such treatments every now and again.

Diet

What we eat on a daily basis affects all our bodily systems, and of course, also our hair. The lack of protein could be the cause of hair loss, along with the lack of vitamins such as biotin, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, and minerals such as iron or zinc. A varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats will help prevent hair loss and of course, nutritional supplements will also help to make up this lack.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy and childbirth are extraordinary and natural processes, but also not easy on the body. They require a lot of resources and cause hormonal changes, and these could lead to hair loss. In fact, it’s a common phenomenon and about 50% of women experience hair loss after giving birth. As in the case of stress, here too, the hair loss may appear a few months later. This is only a temporary situation, but taking nutritional supplements can definitely accelerate the process of the body getting back to normal.

The last two weeks of August are challenging for anyone who has preschool and school age children. As parents, we don’t get a lot of time off, so even though it’s great to have more time to spend with the children, it’s not logistically easy if we still have to work. Throw the hot weather into the pot and you get an opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime – but doing this requires us to make an effort.

Activities with the children:

1. Cooking together

Cooking together is not just a way to pass the time or to get the children to help out. It’s an activity that teaches them an important life skill, and you can also take the opportunity to talk to them about things such as where food comes from, the ingredients, and healthy eating habits. Try to go for simple recipes that do not have to be exact.

2. A trip with added value

Every summer holiday, we struggle to find where to take the children on a trip. There are so many beautiful places, but why not add value to the trip? For example, you can take them to animal shelters instead of to the zoo, to one of the many museums scattered around the country, to volunteer to pack donation baskets for the needy, or on a tour of nature with educational explanations for them – and you.

3. Shared and active viewing/reading

Let’s face it, sometimes there’s nothing better than just putting the kids in front of a screen. In fact, even us adults sometimes like to switch off our minds, curl up on the couch, and watch a good movie. So why not combine the two activities? We all have our favorite movies, series or books from childhood that have a special meaning for us. The next time you are all at home in the evening, choose something cultural that you like and that is suitable for children, and watch or read it together, and then tell them why it’s so special to you.

Activities without the children:

1. Go for a walk

We’ve already given you some ideas that don’t require a babysitter, so if you have a partner, ask them nicely if you can go for a walk outside by yourself. Listen to a podcast or a favorite album, and use this time to clear your head a bit. Physical activity, even if as light as a moderate walk, will renew your energy.

2. Invest in your skincare routine

A skincare routine really doesn’t have to be a 30-step ritual; it can be simple and quick, but even cleaning your face properly and applying serum and cream for five minutes before going to bed can make you feel like you’ve done something for yourself. And if you take care of yourself – you’ll be the best version of yourself for your children.

3. Read a book

The world is divided into two types – people who read every day before going to sleep and people who always want to read but feel they don’t have time. So first of all, you should know that reading a book before bed, especially if it is instead of staring at the screen of an electronic device, such as a phone, can improve your night’s sleep. In addition, even if you are particularly busy parents, try to find the time to read even for 20 minutes, whether it is a fiction book that will help you get lost in an imaginary world for a while or a nonfiction book that challenges you to think.

4. Meditate

For someone who has never tried to meditate, doing it can seem like an impossible task. But the truth is that nowadays, it’s very easy to start meditating since there are countless apps and YouTube videos on guided meditation, which is a great way to dip your toes into this intriguing practice. Meditating regularly has many benefits – it reduces stress, develops the imagination, and gives you tools for self-awareness and dealing with everyday situations.

5. Make a to-do list for the next day

It may sound like just another task, but the truth is that the rare free time we have in the evening without the kids is the perfect opportunity to reduce future stress. Most of us tend to go to sleep with our minds alive with we have to do the next day. Making this list will not only make you more efficient, it will also shift tasks from your mind onto a page, and so free and soothe your mind.

Find physical activities that you really enjoy

In an age where fitness has become a lifestyle and social media is filled with pictures and videos of influencers lifting weights, it’s easy to get carried away and think we should all set aside time for chest exercises and time for leg exercises at the local gym. While lifting weights is certainly a wonderful and a recommended activity, the most important thing for persisting with a fitness routine is to find the right activity for you. This activity could be half an hour of yoga, taking walks a couple of times a week, or even dancing for an hour at home with headphones on. If you don’t have a set fitness routine, there’s no reason to try to go from zero to 100. In order to persist, it’s always better to start small with an activity that is comfortable and enjoyable, and increase its intensity and frequency over time.

Invest in the right clothing – not necessarily expensive

Our sportswear should, first and foremost, be functional and allow us to move easily. It also really doesn’t matter what it looks like, and you certainly don’t need to spend a lot of money just to wear the trendiest brands. But fashion and investing in how you look does have a significant psychological effect, and if our sportswear is something we look forward to putting on or being seen in, it can only boost our motivation even more.

Schedule your exercises and make them a high priority

We’re all familiar with this scenario: We decide that it’s time to start (or go back to) exercising regularly and consistently, we keep it up for a few days – and then real life starts to interfere. One day we’re tired; the next day, friends invite us for a spontaneous drink, and suddenly we find ourselves putting off exercising, losing what we have gained and once again, we find ourselves drifting away from the routine we set for ourselves. This vicious cycle demands a change in mindset and attitude – don’t treat sport as something you cram into your weekly schedule when it’s convenient, rather treat it like you would meetings at work. Plan the type and duration of exercises in advance and add it to your diary, even if it is a 20-minute walk.

Set goals for physical and mental achievements, not for your outward appearance

We all know that physical activity is good for our health, strengthens not only the muscles but also the bones, and contributes to mental health. Still, sometimes it’s hard for us not to narrow our goals down to one thing – how our bodies will look soon, especially since we’re inundated with images of muscles and toning everywhere. Physical change itself is, of course, a very legitimate goal, but it’s important to remember that it takes time and if we focus only on this, we may become discouraged along the way. Instead of setting goals related to external appearance, try to set the number of training sessions a week or, more importantly, physical achievements, as your goals. You’ll notice an improvement in your capabilities sooner, and this feeling of being stronger and more capable will motivate you to continue.

Enjoy the immediate benefits

Even if you set goals for the near or distant future, it’s hard to imagine them actually happening in your daily routine, and you need something to push you to go to the next workout. In addition to the physical goals we mentioned, it’s important to take the time to enjoy the immediate benefits we get from fitness training, and focus on them. When you struggle to get off the couch and put on sneakers, remember how proud you were of yourself the last time you finished a workout and how much the act of releasing hormones improves your mood in the short term. It is these immediate and wonderful benefits that will motivate you every day. And remember, the hardest part is getting started.

Make it easy for yourself

Your workouts themselves should be challenging and done with gradually increasing intensity, but everything surrounding the workouts shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. Be kind to yourself and adapt your fitness routine to your life, not the other way around. For example, if you really want to go for a walk outdoors or go to the gym but you actually prefer staying at home, start a new fitness routine doing YouTube workouts in your living room. You don’t have time for long workout sessions? Choose short, higher intensity workouts. Is it difficult for you to exercise alone? Try to find a friend who already has a fitness routine and ask to join them for classes or runs. When exercise becomes routine, it may take you out of your comfort zone, but until that happens – don’t be shy to adapt it to your needs and desires.
