			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a woman who has recently experienced hair loss, you will learn more about hair loss in women and treatment of hair loss through this informative article. Unfortunately, loss of hair of women is so common among women as hair loss is one of the men. In fact, studies show that fifty percent of women experience hair loss before the fifties. If a woman who has recently started experiencing hair loss, you are probably interested in knowing what are the most common and the differences between hair loss in men and women. You will learn here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What are the most common causes of hair loss in women?<br />
There are many different causes of hair loss that can occur in women. One of the most common causes is the female pattern hair loss. Female pattern hair loss occurs when hair loss occurs due to a genetic disease that is inherited from their parents. Of course, this is not the only cause of hair loss in women. One of the main causes of others is genteel effluvium, which commonly occurs several months after a woman gives birth. Women will notice a lot of hair loss between one and six months after exhausting there is something like childbirth, serious illness or surgery, or any other physical or emotional stress. Other factors that may contribute to hair loss in women include diets which results in iron deficiency or thyroid problems proteins, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, menopause, and certain medications.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What are the differences between hair loss for women and men hair loss?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are many differences between hair loss in women and men. For example, when a man loses his hair, which begins with the recession of the hairline and then goes backward. However, when a woman loses her hair, no recession of the hairline. Male pattern baldness can begin to affect a man in his teens or early twenties, while the loss of female pattern hair usually does not begin to affect a woman until the thirties. Propecia, which is very effective as a result of hair loss in men does not help with hair loss for women. Finally, one of the main differences is that hair transplants can not be at all effective for hair loss for women, although it is highly effective for hair loss in men.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, what treatments are available for women?<br />
Despite not work as well for women hair loss treatment as it does with hair loss in men, hair transplantation is an option. The only problem is that many times, hair transplants in women do not result in the hair is thick enough for your taste. If a woman has hair loss is too severe, the use of Rogaine will help prevent any loss of hair in the future and help create new hair growth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Most people do not notice that they lose from 50 to 100 strands of hair usually every day. In SLE, the situation may be very different, with the hair loss more dramatic and remarkable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hair loss in lupus may be caused by the same disease as the immune system destroys hair follicles, or medications such as prednisone, and immune system inhibitors-in this case the hair loss stops when the medication is stopped.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The hair may fall into threads, or groups with the lowest pulled, and sometimes thins and becomes very brittle and broken.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are one half of all people with systemic lupus struggling with this problem, some strategy that you can grab:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Action Steps</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hair loss can be frightening, but is usually treatable and can often be concealed. It may take a while to generate hair, sometimes 6 months or more, but eventually does grow unless it is caused by a &#8220;rash discoid&#8221;<br />
lupus lupus of the skin or &#8220;skin&#8221; that causes lesions and rash thick patches red scaly &#8220;discoid&#8221; can occur with or without the complications of systemic lupus. Unfortunately a discoid rash may cause marking of the hair follicles and permanent hair loss, so be sure to talk to your doctor about your options if this happens to you. The &#8220;alopecia&#8221; is the medical term for hair loss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You are not powerless. Here are some strategies to try:<br />
Refresh your style. Ask him to a barber on ideas to cover the bald spots. Try a cut laminated to make hair look thicker. When using the dryer, try to lift the hair up and away from the head. Or ask about hair dye to conceal discovered that might otherwise display.<br />
Consider hair extensions. If you still have some healthy hair and only lost some patches on the sides (not overhead)-and you are not actively losing hair, consider hair extensions. There are pre-made hair extensions and is made ​​to order, and different ways that hair extensions can be connected. Seeding, knotting or by adding tiny loops are generally better in cases of hair loss, to avoid exposure to chemicals, adhesives (glue) and heat. You will need to visit a hairdresser every few months to keep the extensions connected properly, so as to ensure that it is in your budget.<br />
Try a wig. These wigs now days are so well done that most people do not know if you have an update. To begin take a friend to look around. You may feel much better when you see what options there are.<br />
Experiment with hair wraps, scarves, handkerchiefs, or other types of accessories, On the Internet there is advice!

As a last resort, cosmetic surgery . For hair loss and permanent end, stretch the remaining hair to cover what was lost can be an option, or even transplanting hair from another part of the hair.<br />
If you have lupus and is losing hair, NOT experiment with counter treatments for hair loss. Talk to your doctor about treatment options.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not blame the lupus hair loss?<br />
While it is common sense to avoid harsh chemicals or too tight braids that squeeze your hair, you really can not blame hair loss to a lack of vitamins, washing his head a lot, or using colorful hair or other common hair. Some hair loss follows a pattern of her mother or father who also experienced, and are completely normal.</p>

Other causes include, but are not limited to: changes in hormone levels (decrease or increase), increased testosterone, increased stress (physical or emotional), several drugs, skin problems, and inheritance. Whenever you experience a sudden hair loss, consider events that occurred three months before the hair loss, as factors affecting hair loss can often take up to three months to have a Indeed, it is mean, he was diagnosed with something new in recent months?, Did you start taking drugs in recent months?, Have you had any traumatic experiences (death of a loved one or friend, divorce me any event that may be categorized as &#8220;traumatic&#8221;). Subsequently, any treatment for hair loss must be given at least three months to have noticeable effects.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You could research on soy isoflavones have estrogenic effects (without the risk of synthetic HRT) and have helped many women with thinning hair problems. When progesterone levels fall due to lack of ovulation, the body responds by increasing production of adrenocortical steroid, androstenedione, a precursor alternative for production of other adrenal cortical hormones. Androstenedione may have certain androgenic properties (as men), in this case, male pattern hair loss.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When progesterone levels are increased by natural progesterone supplements, the androstenedione level will eventually decline gradually, and normal hair growth will resume eventually. Since hair growth is slow, can take four to six months for effects to become evident. This can be corrected by using naturally compounded hormones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Be happy, I left it, and if you have not made ​​a decision, you want to put this article to show that what is happening to your health, sure to have noticed already, but it&#8217;s good to know that must: smoking. The World Health Organization, published some years since become literature showing the harms of snuff for the smoker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this article, what is done is to collect those statements made ​​in this document, we also attached the link for the full document. Among the diseases that produces snuff are: 1. Hair loss snuff weakens the immune system and makes the body more vulnerable to diseases such as lupus erythematosus, which can cause hair loss as well as mouth ulcers and rashes on the face, scalp and hands. 2. Cataract is believed that snuff causes or exacerbates several eye conditions. The percentage of people with cataracts, a clouding of the lens that blocks light and can cause blindness, is 40% higher among smokers. The snuff causes cataracts in two ways:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">direct irritation of the eyes<br />
and release into the lungs of chemicals that reach the eye via the bloodstream.<br />
Snuff consumption is also associated with macular degeneration related to age,<br />
incurable eye disease caused by a deterioration in the central area of the retina called the macula. In this area focus images, allowing us to read, drive, recognize faces or colors and see details of objects.<br />
3. Wrinkles The snuff causes premature skin aging due to wear resulting from the proteins that give it elasticity, as well as vitamin A depletion and reduced blood flow to tissue suffering. Smokers have a dry, rough and furrowed by wrinkles tiny, especially around the lips and eyes. <span id="more-524"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Hearing loss makes the snuff form plaques on the walls of blood vessels, thereby reducing the inner ear irrigation. Thus, smokers may lose hearing at an earlier age than nonsmokers and are more vulnerable to this complication in case of an ear infection or exposure to loud noise. Also, smokers are three times more likely than nonsmokers to suffer from middle ear infections that can lead to other complications such as meningitis and facial paralysis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Skin cancer does not cause the snuff melanoma (a type of skin cancer that can be fatal) but increases the chances of dying from it. The risk for smokers of developing cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma &#8211; a type of cancer that causes flaking and red rash on the skin &#8211; is doubled compared to non smokers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">6. Tooth decay snuff interferes with the chemical processes taking place in the mouth, causes excessive tartar, stained yellow teeth and accelerates tooth decay. The risk of losing teeth is multiplied by 1.5 in smokers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7. Emphysema In addition to lung cancer, the snuff causes emphysema (distension and rupture of the alveoli of the lung) and reduced lung capacity to capture oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. In extreme cases, so you can breathe, the patient undergoes a tracheotomy:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An incision in the trachea, and used a breathing air for her to enter the lungs.<br />
Chronic bronchitis involves the accumulation of purulent mucus, which causes coughing<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img style="padding: 2px;" src="http://whyquit.com/images/butts.jpg" alt=" Smoke Lower" width="170" align="left" />Everyone knows about the negative impact smoking cigarettes can do to your health. Numerous studies have been published showing how tobacco is related to a number of illnesses including cancer, emphysema, and more. Smoking can also have a negative affect on your wallet, as a pack of cigarettes has gotten more and more expensive over the past years. But did you know that cigarette smoke can actually lower the value of your car?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you&#8217;re without auto insurance and looking to sell your car (or putting your car on the market for any other reason), then you want to know how much you can realistically aim to get for the vehicle. Due to a variety of reasons, cigarette smoke can reduce your car&#8217;s worth by over $1,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The interior condition of your car is one of the most important factors when it comes to determining its value. If someone has smoked in your car, then the following things can lead to the value decreasing drastically:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Cigarette smoke leaves a harsh smell that can be impossible to completely remove from your car&#8217;s interior, particularly if it&#8217;s cloth. Cars that reek of cigarette smoke are a lot less desirable than those that don&#8217;t, so people are sure to offer you less money for the vehicle.</li>
<li>The market for autos that have been smoked in is significantly smaller than that for cars that have never been smoked in. The truth is that many people won&#8217;t even consider purchasing a car that&#8217;s been smoked in. This smaller market results in less competition, leading to you selling your car for a lower price.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;ve had your car for a long time and have smoked in it for the majority of that time, chances are that you&#8217;ve burned or stained your vehicle&#8217;s interior at one point or another. Unsightly burns or smoke stains can make your car appear older than it really is, which will decrease its value.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So think before you light up inside your car—you&#8217;re diminishing its value, making it harder for you to sell it down the road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Going 12 or more hours without a smoke is no laughing matter to someone addicted to cigarettes. In that time period, smokers may experience withdrawal symptoms that can take all the fun out of those cheap tickets they booked to a dream destination. If you’re a smoker, here are 5 ways to get through that flight with minimal cravings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Get a good night’s rest beforehand</strong>. Starting a travel day well-rested is the key to having a less stressful flight. Get all details taken care of early so you’re not rushing around the night before your trip working yourself into a tizzy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Get nicotine gum or patches</strong>. This is a matter of personal preference. You can pop the gum as needed, or have a steady supply of nicotine from a patch. But don’t do both: it is possible and dangerous to overdose on nicotine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Don’t drink at the airport or on the plane</strong>. For many people smoking and drinking go together. Many smokers find that drinking is a trigger that sets off a strong craving for nicotine. Remove the drinking and you have one less possible trigger.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Consider a sleep aid</strong>. If you go with a prescription sleep aid, try it out at home before your trip. People react differently to them. You don’t want to try out a new sleep aid on a plane only to find out it amps you up rather than mellowing you out. You might try an over-the-counter sleep aid like Benadryl, Dramamine, or melatonin instead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Do a trial run</strong>. Once you know you’ll have X number of hours without a smoke, do a trial run at home. Use the gum, patches, and maybe a nap to make sure you can get through that time period without major nicotine cravings. This will boost your confidence on the day of your flight.</p>
