Hair Thinning is a common male problem. Although some prefers to go hairless and look like Vin Diesel and The Rock, many still fear the process of loosing their hair. Seeing your glorious lock starting to go thin can really affect how you see yourself and others as well. Once you see the signs of the condition, you would want to find out the best treatment for baldness.

Most men will experience hair loss at one point in time. Resources indicate that about 50% of men (and women) in the US start to experience thinning hair by the time they reach 40 years of age.

Causes of Hair Loss

There are several reasons why men experience hair fall. Many blame their genes. While there is a greater tendency that your baldness may have been hereditary, there are still other factors that may also be considered.

With male-pattern baldness, a male steroid hormone that binds to receptors in your scalp and is called dihydrotestosterone or DHT. The same hormone that is responsible for the development of the male genitalia during pregnancy also causes the hair follicles to shrink, weaken, and later on die, especially if you are genetically prone to hair loss. This process, known as miniaturization, soon result to a complete end of hair growth in the area of the head with DHT-affected hair follicles.

There are other factors that cn cause hair loss. Poisoning, radiation, medication, infection, hormone disorders, even your diet can cause hair fall. Then there are these physical stressors, such as a sudden weight loss or pregnancy, as well as physical or emotional shocks, can also lead to temporary hair loss.

Temporary hair loss may also be caused by certain medical conditions like coronary heart disease and prostate problems for men. Hormonal changes in women can also cause this type of hair loss. (more…)

Background and Nature of Leopards

Leopard geckos also called panther gecko is one of the best pets to keep, which are not difficult to care for and comes in a variety of colors.

Leopard geckos mostly live on the ground and are exceptionally known for their existent eyelids which most geckos don’t have. Geckos do not blink or move their eyelids but the leopard gecko does, this makes them exceptional and special. The leopard gecko is the largest breed of geckos.

Leopard geckos are mostly found in the desert and they like to feel warm and dry. Therefore, when setting up a tank for your pet gecko, don’t forget to add a heat source to keep it warm and make the tank conducive.

Leopard gecko does not have sticky hands like the rest of geckos which make climbing an impossible thing to do therefor the dwell on the ground.

Geckos love to eat insects like cockroach, crickets, and worms. These insects add great nutritional value to them and geckos do not need to be fed daily. You can feed them twice a week but good and stable drinking water should be provided for them to help them stay hydrated.

Precaution to Caring for Leopard Gecko

Leopards geckos care easily for without much stress. You can provide it with a tank (preferably glass tank) for you to monitor it easily and take good care of it. The tank serves as it’s home and it makes the gecko more comfortable because it is afraid of predators and shy in nature.

Geckos are shy in nature and will require a secret place of hiding in the tank and also will need a climbing place. You don’t have to worry about the gecko escaping when you provide it a climbing space because it leaves on the ground. The Exo Terra Reptile Cave is an exceptional solution to make your gecko happy and comfortable. (more…)
