Is Dieting Worth The Trouble?

“Yo-yo dieting” not tied to early death: study

This was the “Look AHEAD” (Action for HEAlth in Diabetes) trial led by eminent researcher Rena Wing. With its rigorous design and strict low-calorie diet, it had accomplished what other trials of this magnitude had not: Participants in it had been successful at their diets for four years. The three of us know how rare this is. Our careful review of the research on dieting left us ready to shut the door on further dieting research, because it so seldom leads to sustained weight loss. We analyzed the 20 most rigorous tests of low-calorie, low-fat, or low-carbohydrate diets that looked at how much weight people kept off for two or more years.

The new theorys unparallelled ability to explain even the details of the hair loss process and the formation of the pattern in AGA is apparent, said Dr Emin Tuncay Ustuner, a plastic surgeon in Ankara, Turkey. Ustuners Gravity Theory seeks to reconcile some puzzling observations related to the development and progression of AGA. Its believed that balding areas of the scalp show an increase in a form of testosterone called dihydrotestosteron (DHT). In the scalp, DHT seems to cause hair follicles to become thinner while in other areas of the body like the pubic region and underarms DHT and other male hormones promote thickening of the hair follicles.

Therapy uses platelet-rich plasma to treat hair loss

“What Dr. Bergfeld has found in decades of experience, is when she treats patients for iron deficiency –even in the absence of anemia — it can maximize their ability to regrow hair,” Trost tells WebMD. “It is not the silver bullet for baldness, but it can definitely help maximize how a patient regrows hair.” The Cleveland Clinic isn’t alone in doing this.
