There are several reasons for hair loss in women. However, in most cases, treatment is quite effective. Female hair loss patterns in women are not as easily recognizable as they are in men. A woman may experience it temporarily due to pregnancy or illness, although they may experience it for other reasons.

Hair loss can be due to a variety of factors, including a genetic tendency (which is not genetically linked to just one parent-both parents contribute to the tendency to lose hair).

Women who are experiencing hair problems seem to have more limited choices than men. There are some female hair loss treatments that are available such as the Tricomin System which is a topical treatment that is nutrition based. Shen Min for Women is another natural treatment that contains herbs (药草) that are said to stimulate(刺激) hair growth and even restore hair that is graying to its natural color.

The majority of the popular, proven hair loss treatments are only intended for men and are not suitable for women. True, a woman’s hair issue is different from a man’s. The biological makeup is different and the needs are different. Women have different needs and their bodies react in different ways to environmental changes, physical illness and even the treatments that are available. There are many natural treatments such as vitamin and mineral supplements that are said to stimulate hair growth, but, for the most part, these claims are currently unproven.

One of the first and most important factors to effectively treating is to get a diagnosis from a doctor. Talk to your doctor about any symptoms that you may be experiencing in addition to the thinning hair. Stress, weight loss or gain, illness and depression, all of these can be contributing factors.

So you thought the hamburger was the world’s most popular fast food? After all. McDonald’s Golden Arches are found everywhere in the world．But no，there is another truly universal fast food，the best fast food．It’s easy to make，easy to serve，much more varied than the hamburger ,can be eaten with the hands，and it's delivered to your front door or served in fancy restaurants．It has been one of America’s favorite foods for over 50 years．It is，of course，the pizza．

It’s kind of silly to talk about the moment when pizza was “invented”．It gradually developed over the years, but one thing is for certain-it has been around for a very long time．The idea of using pieces of flat，round bread as plates came from the Greeks. They called them “plakuntos” and ate them with various simple toppings such as oil，garlic，onions，and herbs．The Romans enjoyed eating something similar and called it “picea”．By about 1000 A.D in the city of Naples，“picea” had become “pizza” and people were experimenting with more toppings：cheese，ham，anchovies，and finally the tomato，brought to Italy from Mexico and Peru in the sixteenth century．Naples became the pizza Capital of the world．In 1889，King Umberto I and Queen Margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it．They invited pizza maker，Raffele Esposito，to make it for them．He decided to make the pizza like the Italian flag，so he used red tomatoes，white mozzarella cheese，and green basil leaves．The Queen loved it and the new pizza was named “Pizza Margherita” in her honor.

Pizza migrated to America with the Italians at the end of the nineteenth century. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 at 53 Spring Street，New York City， by Gennaro Lombardi．But the popularity of pizza really exploded when American soldiers returned from Italy after World War II and talked excitedly about “that great Italian dish”．Americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world．
