In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of the key nutritional factors that affect hair health:
Protein
Adequate protein intake in your diet is important for overall hair health. Your Hair Transplant in Dubai & UAE is made up of proteins, and eating a low-protein diet can slow your hair growth and, in some cases, even cause it to fall out.
However, if you live in America, the problem is probably not too small. The average American eats more than twice the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for protein, and even American vegans exceed the adult RDA for protein.
In fact, you may be eating too much protein to have healthy hair. Too much protein can lead to a lack of biotin (vitamin H), which can lead to hair loss. If you’ve noticed your hair is brittle and falling out more than it should, talk to your doctor about your protein intake.
Zinc and selenium are essential trace elements that must be ingested with food because the body cannot produce them itself. Numerous studies have shown that selenium deficiency affects the health of the scalp and hair follicles, and zinc deficiency causes acute and chronic hair loss.
To keep your hair as healthy as possible, choose heart-healthy nuts, which are good sources of zinc and selenium, as well as iron-rich foods like lentils and other legumes, and dark leafy greens like spinach, broccoli, and kale.
For example
if you consume more vitamin A than you should, your body can’t process it and too much of it circulates throughout the body. Too much vitamin A can cause sudden hair loss and disrupt the hair growth cycle.
Vitamin B7, or biotin, plays an important role in hair health and is found in several food sources including whole grains, soy, and yeast. If you don’t get enough biotin, your hair will become brittle and begin to fall out.
Not eating enough fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C makes it harder for the body to absorb iron, and as mentioned earlier, iron deficiency leads to hair loss. To keep your hair healthy, opt for citrus fruits, potatoes, green peppers, cabbage and tomatoes.
