Who would've thought that the age-old problem of hair loss would become a Gen Z nightmare? 😱 In the Chinese mainland, more and more young people are shedding not just their worries but their hair too!
Liu Ling, a professor at Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University, has noticed a surprising trend. \"My patients used to be in their 40s,\" she says. \"Now, even middle and high school students are coming in for consultations.\" 🎓👦👧
While genetics plays a role, Liu points out that it's not the only culprit. \"Stress from school and work matters,\" she notes. 📚💼 The pressure to excel is taking a toll, and those buried in books and high-intensity mental work are seeing the effects… on their scalp! 🧠➡️🦲
Medical students aren't immune either. Liu shared a confession from one of her own students: \"Despite academic success, my hair is half gone.\" 🎓💔
So, what’s the solution? Liu suggests taking a page from the older generations. 📖✨ \"Adopting healthier lifestyle habits can make a big difference,\" she advises. Think more sleep, balanced meals, and maybe less late-night cramming sessions. 🛌🥗⏰
It's time for Gen Z to reclaim not just their grades, but their hairlines too! Let's stress less and live more. After all, a healthy mind needs a healthy body… and a healthy head of hair! 😉💆♂️💖
