			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Including genetics and stress, there are other factors that are directly related to hair loss in both men and women.  Of course, certain medication, such as cancer therapy can often result in losing one&#8217;s hair as can hormonal changes. <strong> Hair loss vitamin deficiency</strong> is another. But, thankfully, you can reverse it if you act quickly, i.e. as soon as you notice your hair thinning or falling out.</p>
<p>Firstly, see your doctor.  He must examine you and run certain tests to ensure all else is fine, medically speaking.  At the same time, you can work on improving on your diet, including adding vitamins to ensure you are getting all the nutrients that are essential for healthy living and healthy hair.</p>
<p>Start by eating more fruits and vegetables.  Reduce your intake of animal proteins. Then, supplements.  Biotin (vitamin B7) and vitamin B5 are great in maintaining healthy hair and helps follicles to regrow new hair.   Vitamin B12 is also helpful as it helps produce red cells. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause problems for years.<br />
<span id="more-147"></span><br />
Vitamin C helps to maintain proper circulation, which is the essential for follicles.  If you are a smoker, you should increase the amount of vitamin C you intake as smoking depletes this vitamin.</p>
<p>Vitamin A deficiency leads to weak, dry and brittle hair.  This can lead to problems of hair breaking off.</p>
<p>With that said, it is important to ensure that you are getting the right amount of these vitamins in order to avoid any type of vitamin overdose.  Certain vitamins are stored in the liver and can cause problems you intake too much. Therefore, in order to avoid such problems, it may be better for you to take specialized formulated vitamins to counteract this problem and help with your hair loss.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How can one effectively use vitamin E in anti-aging?  Well, for one, it prevents the formation of scars in burns, acne, and post-operative situations. It increases fertility in both males and females and is said to reestablish male potency.   Vitamin E also protects the body and the skin from environmental toxins. It also aids fat soluble vitamins in the body from destruction by oxygen, while improving circulation.  It is beneficial in many methods of treatment with muscle diseases and paralysis. For the skin, a pierced capsule can heal cuts and scrapes quicker and can be used as a treatment for wrinkles. Simply dab a drop of the oil onto the area and massage into the skin.</p>
<p>A diet deficient in vitamin E in men can result in sterility; in women it can lead to repeated miscarriages; in both men and women, it can result in stroke, heart disease.<br />
<span id="more-56"></span><br />
Foods that contain Vitamin E include: nuts, wheat, wheat germ, whole grain foods, cereals, green leafy veggies, milk and eggs.</p>
<p>The recommended daily requirement of Vitamin E is 15 IU.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vitamin D is naturally supplied by the sun, so 10 minutes each day is all that is required.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid is responsible for the normal growth and preservation of almost all body tissues.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever asked how to reduce wrinkles naturally? According to studies, Vitamin A helps skin to remain healthy, but doesn’t stop there. When we talk about antiaging, we don’t only connect it to issues that are only skin deep, we go right down to the bones. This vitamin helps different areas of the body to function normally, such as:<br />
·	Aiding vision<br />
·	Gene transcription<br />
·	Enables the immune system to function<br />
·	Promotes embryonic development and reproduction<br />
·	Aids bone metabolism<br />
·	Hematopoietic<br />
·	Promotes healthy skin<br />
·	Reduces the risk of heart disease<br />
·	Antioxidant Activity</p>
<p><span id="more-34"></span></p>
<p>Vitamin A, in its acidic form, 13-cis retinoic acid (isotretinoin), is the most effective drug for acne treatment. It reduces bacteria in the ducts and skin, and reduces inflammation. Tretinion, a topical cream has been shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Both of these products require a doctor’s prescription.  Retinova is a prescription cream that had very positive results and therefore, retinol was created, a less intense version of it and obviously its results are not as effective, however it has proved in studies to reduce wrinkles. One study showed moisturizers containing 0.4% of retinol greatly reduced fine wrinkles, but once stopped, the benefits cease as well.<br />
In rare cases, vitamin A deficiency exists in the developed countries. It is a concern in underdeveloped countries, however. Vitamin A deficiency is due to an inadequate consumption of green and yellow veggies and fruit, and it affects vision among others. However, toxicity is possible with too much Vitamin A. Talk to your doctor before taking any new vitamins.<br />
Foods that contain vitamin A are: carrots, broccoli (florets contain much less than leaves),  sweet potatoes, kale, spinach, pumpkin, peas, winter squash, liver, beef, pork, melon, apricots, to name but a few. By adding these foods to your diet you will soon see a significant improvement to your skin and how to reduce wrinkles naturally.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many medical conditions can be treated with vitamins.  In addition to that, antiaging vitamin therapy can prevent premature aging.  Supplementing your diet with the proper vitamins and minerals helps your body remain youthful by feeding it with the right nutrients.</p>
<p>Vitamins are divided into two main categories: fat-soluble and water-soluble.</p>
<p>Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body, more often than not, in the liver.  They are not easily lost in most methods of preparation and are mesured in international units.  The following are fat-soluble vitamins:</p>
<p><span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>A<br />
D<br />
E<br />
K</p>
<p>Water-soluble vitamins are lost in food preparation, therefore, it is advised to not overcook foods in order to avoid this loss. Within the body, these vitamins are not stored, hence, it is important to eat foods containing these vitamins daily and are measured in either milligrams or micrograms. The following are water-soluble vitamins:</p>
<p>B group or B complex<br />
C</p>
<p>Antiaging vitamin therapy to prevent premature aging and remain youthful is possible but must be approached with caution AND only with your doctor&#8217;s consent. Too much of anything is bad for you, including vitamins.</p>
