Q: I have a couple of questions.
Well, first of all my hair is always falling out, especially in the shower. Is
this normal? I'm talking a lot of hair will fall out. Second, is there anything
I could do or eat to make my hair grow longer? It seems as if my hair just
doesn't grow like it used to when I was younger.
A: It is normal to
lose about 100 strands a day, but a sudden increase usually means something in
your life is changing. It may simply be your estrogen levels or even the seasons
(humans tend to molt in spring and fall, just as other mammals do). Major
stresses - a move, a divorce, a serious illness, or injury, pregnancy, birth
control pills, even a crash diet - can also induce follicles to go into a
resting phase, leading to heavy shedding. (You may not realize hair loss is
stress-related because it occurs three to six months after the traumatic event.)
If skimpiness continues for more than a few months - and your
hairline recedes, your part widens, or your scalp starts to peek through,
chances are you may be experiencing male pattern baldness. This inherited
condition causes visible thinning in half of all women over age 50.

around the Tokara Islands are abundant in minerals deposited by the Japan
Current. These remote, southern islands lie between the Pacific Ocean and the
East China Sea. The Tokara Islands are an unspoiled paradise forgotten by time,
a place where man and nature live together harmoniously. A variety of fish and
coral reef can also be found in this area.
