Many men accept hair loss as a way of life. Male pattern baldness will affect 50 percent of men by the time they turn 50. While some hair loss problems are hereditary, there are certain things that can be done to slow the process down. Plus, hair loss is not always hereditary, in which case it can be prevented most of the time.

Preventing hair loss is not found in a single solution, but a nutritious diet will assist normal hair growth. Important vitamins and minerals for facilitating hair growth include: vitamin B-12, vitamin B-7, zinc, copper, iron, and calcium. A multivitamin can combine the benefits of these vitamins and minerals. To receive maximum benefits take a multivitamin regularly.

Eating foods rich in these nutrients will decrease the chances of male pattern baldness. You can always take them in capsule form if these vitamins and minerals are not present in your diet.

A healthy thyroid also plays a crucial role in healthy hair growth and male pattern baldness prevention. Selenium and iodine can help treat unhealthy thyroid levels. Herbs that have been found to help the thyroid are yellow dock and milk thistle.

Hormones that are balanced also assist with normal hair growth. Saw palmetto is a well know herb that can help regulate hormones and prevent hair loss in males.

Hair growth problems can also be caused from stress. Recent studies suggest that people who are stress free tend to suffer less from hair loss. A balanced diet, and regular exercise will help to reduce stress levels.

Massage improves circulation, which in turn improves the health of your hair and scalp. A few drops of vitamin E oil massaged into the scalp is recommended to strengthen fragile hair and help prevent dry, flaky skin. Give yourself a daily massage for 5-10 minutes to stimulate circulation, which is vital for healthy hair growth. Using your fingers (knuckles), work over the surface of the scalp, temples and back of the head, applying pressure in circular movements.

In summary, daily exercise, eating a well balanced diet, and occasional scalp massage will slow down, if not stop, hair loss. Any way you look at it, a healthy lifestyle will always benefit you in the long run.
