Hi Doctor Puja here.

Let's continue to Think Healthy!

Today, we want to

talk about thinning hair.

Here's a myth we want to put to rest

right away.

When you touch your head

& you notice that your hair is thinning,

we don't want to say to ourselves: Hey,

I think my hair is thinning

because I'm getting older!

Among one of the lesser known reasons

for thinning hair, a vitamin

or micronutrient deficiency

such as Zinc or Iron.

Our hair goes through

normal growth and shedding cycles.

We all know this!

And, as we age,

we'll see some changes in our hair.

But, thinning of one's hair

is not always a normal part of aging.

So the takeaway message here

is: if you find yourself

with thinning hair,

you may consider finding out

if you have a micronutrient deficiency!

Call your doctor

or your health care team.

Until next time.
