Check your pillow for signs of heart disease risk
As if losing your hair wasn't punishment enough for a guy, it turns out that it may signal additional health risks.
Research from the Harvard Medical School revealed that men with frontal baldness have a nine percent greater chance of developing heart disease than their full-follicled friends (or foes, if you're Lex Luthor). What's more, the study also suggests that men whose crowns are completely bald have a 36 percent greater risk. Researchers posit that this baldness/heart disease link is due to the greater amount of androgen receptors the follicularly challenged possesses, contributing to the collection of fatty deposits in the arteries.
Fortunately, much of this risk can be cut by following a sensible diet and performing at least three, 30-minute workouts per week. As for dealing with your hair loss ... well, bald is very in these days.
