Methods to Help Prevent and Reverse Bald Spots

Hormones control the growth of hair on our bodies and after puberty, hair begins to grow as beards, body hair and armpit hair. This is due to the male hormone testosterone, while the female hormone estrogen allows hair to grow on the head but prevents it from growing elsewhere. If estrogen levels drop in a woman, she may experience signs of hair loss or baldness. Treatments in estrogen replacement have had some success in restoring and repairing bald spots and allowing the hair to grow back.

Eating a diet high in protein helps the body re-grow any lost hair. Foods like leafy green vegetables, carrots, soybean, mango, dried apricots, whole grain cereals, sprouts, lentils, yeast, yogurt and even buttermilk on a daily basis will lead to good hair health. Vitamin A and iodine rich foods like spinach, cabbage, turnips, mustard, peanuts and pine nuts are also good choices.
