The first thing that comes to your mind is that obviously, luck was involved. This is true, if you want to live for 122 years, you will need a lot of luck. But the question here is that in living such a long life, how much contribution is of luck and how much of it is your lifestyle choices? Between 1870 and 1900, scientific research was conducted in Denmark on twins. More than 2,800 twins were analyzed to study longevity and to see, how big is genetics as a factor and how big are lifestyle and environment as factors.
This research was known as the famous Danish Twin study. And the conclusion of this was that an average human’s life is 20% dictated by genes and 80% is influenced by lifestyle and environment.
That means your food choices, the way you exercise and a healthy lifestyle has a huge impact on how long you will live. And a big impact of all these factors is on your hair. To some extent, hair loss is natural and it depends on genetics along with age. But to some extent, it also depends on your lifestyle. Medically, hair loss is categorized into 7 stages. If you are in between stages 1 to 4, then it can be controlled after identifying the root cause.
But if you are beyond stage 5, then it becomes more difficult to get your hair back. Then risky and expensive surgical procedures like hair transplants, remain the only options.
