"The food you eat is responsible for the nutrition your hair receives."
The food you eat is responsible for the nutrition your hair receives. So, that it shows the importance of eating healthy and how important it is to control hair loss.
Here is a list of dieting mistakes that may lead to hair loss:
Having an excess of vitamin A:
Vitamin A is described by the National Institutes of Health and Office of Dietary Supplements as a fat-soluble vitamin that is important for vision and proper organ function.
But too much of this micronutrient present in the body, called vitamin A toxicity, can cause hair loss along with several other unpleasant symptoms.
Sugar:
Processed sugar has many adverse effects on the body and deteriorating hair and nail quality is one of them.
High sugar intake leads to an increase in blood glucose which means the body has to produce more insulin.
This further leads to an increase in androgens, or male sex hormones, which can result in the shrinking of the hair follicles and eventually lead to early baldness.
Alcohol:
Hair is mainly made of the protein, called keratin. Keratin is a protein that gives structure to your hair.
Alcohol harms protein synthesis and can lead to hair getting weaker and without any luster.
Also, heavy alcohol consumption can create nutritional imbalances and can cause follicle death.
Low intake of zinc and iron:
Iron and zinc too facilitate hair health and need to be included in your diet.
They help in keratin formation which is important for hair growth and health.
Seafood and red meat are rich in iron and zinc, and beans are also a good source of these nutrients for vegetarians.
Low protein diet:
The basic building block of hair is the protein called keratin.
Thus, insufficient protein intake means that you are at a higher risk of hair loss. Lean meat can be an adequate source of protein.
Vegetarians can opt for lentils, spinach, beans, and tofu as sources of protein.
