Hair loss and diet: how are they linked?
These elements are part of a so-called “normal” diet. Generally speaking, they are good for the body. Concerning the scalp in particular, they have a “boosting” effect on the hair follicles. But not all food is equally beneficial, and if you want to treat your body well and better live with alopecia, you must prioritize certain types of foods.
Anti-hair loss foods: what are they?
The grocery list essentials and foods to combat hair loss:
- Lentils and egg yolks are rich in proteins, vitamin B, iron, sulfur and zinc.
- Soybeans, beans, meat and cheese are great sources of protein.
- Dried legumes, fish, bananas and avocados replenish your body’s levels of vitamin B and magnesium.
- Red meat, whole grains, and seafood (mussels, oysters, clams) give you a boost of iron and zinc.
In addition to these dietary solutions, consider massaging your scalp every evening with your fingertips in order to stimulates micro-circulation and help these vitamins and minerals get absorbed into the hair fiber.
