Minerals and Hair Loss - Part 4

What Causes Mineral Imbalance ?    ( Continued ... )

Pollution :

From adolescence through adulthood the average person is continually exposed to a variety of toxic metal sources such as cigarette smoke (cadnium), hair dyes (lead), hydrogenated oils (nicle), anti-perspirants (aluminium), dental amalgams (mercury and cadnium), copper and aluminium cookware and lead-based cosmetics. These are just a few of the hundreds of sources which can contribute to nutrient imbalances and adverse metabolic effects. Nutritional Supplements - Taking incorrect supplements or improper amounts of supplements can produce many vitamin and mineral excesses and / or deficiences, contributing to an overall biochemical imbalance.

Inherited patterns :

A pre-disposition towards certain mineral imbalances, deficiences and excesses can be inherited from parents. Hair provides one of the best medium for mineral analysis of the body. Hair is an ideal tissue for sampling and testing.
