Hair loss can be influenced by genetics, hormones, stress and your diet. Certain foods may negatively impact hair health, weakening follicles or disrupting hormone balance. Tap to read!
Sugar
The body releases insulin and androgens when excess sugar is ingested. These toxic compounds may shrink hair follicles and accelerate hair loss.
Refined Carbohydrates
White bread and pasta raise blood sugar levels. They can also cause DHT, which is the hormone for pattern baldness.
Fried and Greasy
Fried foods increase the sebum secretion, clog the pores, lessen the circulation on the scalp, and aid hair thinning.
Artificial Sweeteners
These products might affect hormonal or gut levels, which can force or worsen existing hair loss. Aspartame is the most common.
Excess Vitamin A
Too much vitamin A, especially from supplements. This can cause hair shedding because of vitamin toxicity symptoms.
High-Mercury Fish
Fish high in mercury, such as swordfish and tuna. It could cause irregularities in hair growth and damage follicles.
