Hair loss is a common problem whose causes range from genetic to nutritional related to the lack of a certain type of vitamins and elements needed to maintain healthy hair.
In the context of nutrition-related causes, experts say that there are three types of foods that must be avoided to get rid of the problem:
Sugary foods and refined carbohydrates
The long-term effects of eating these foods can be particularly associated with hair loss and thinning. Increased insulin levels caused by eating too many sugary foods can damage blood vessels extensively, reducing the amounts of oxygen and micronutrients that reach hair follicles. Avoid foods that contain preservatives, artificial flavors, and food colors, as they increase free radicals in our scalp, causing damage to the hair follicles.
Red meat
Eating large amounts of red meat and fried foods increases inflammation and raises levels of the male hormone that leads to hair loss. Red meat has also been shown to increase the risk of heart disease by raising blood cholesterol and clogging arteries.
Some types of fish
Mercury, found in various types of packaged fish, is often associated with hair loss when consumed in excess. The larger the fish, the higher the mercury levels. Avoid fish such as mackerel, swordfish and tuna in your diet if you are already experiencing hair loss or thinning. Instead, choose fish that are low in mercury, such as cod and salmon.
