Fat and balding? Reasons for optimism

4/10/2015

My trawl through the news today unearthed a few blogging gems; new scientific evidence has been gathered to suggest that being a bit fat may give one more resistance to dementia than being skinny.

And, being more fat than a bit, may confer even greater protection. Hallelujah say I because the extra pounds around my middle may now fulfil a useful purpose – the protection of my razor sharp intellect…

… all right, maybe it’s a little less honed than that.

Thinking about the loss of one’s marbles is not comforting at all; for a bloke it’s perhaps as concerning as erectile dysfunction or even worse the wastage of one’s barnet.

But, good news on the hair front too. As counter intuitive as it might seem, scientists are suggesting that pulling hair out, stimulates the growth of more of it.

Now I have to be frank; being a parent has meant that on a great many occasions, I have felt like pulling my hair out. Suffering as I do with age related thinness towards the back of my bonce (unlike my waist), I have found other means to vent my frustrations. Now though, perhaps hair pulling could be introduced and even pay dividends.

But of course there is no certainty, the scientists only really commit to the need to do more science.    

So those bothered by male pattern baldness are left with something of a quandary – go bald naturally or pull one’s hair out (and become more bald as a consequence) but with the hope (potentially forlorn) that pulling it out may actually result in the restoration of one’s locks.
