Health and Hairfall

There are numerous dogmas revolving around the cause of hair loss each one as most unlikely as the next. Hair has a natural tendency to thin with aging or due to genetic problems or due to an unhealthy diet. However you might find a guy in 50’s with a great mane of hair while a guy at 30 might have a broad patch in his head. Even after having a great diet, absolutely nil genetic problems or aging one can lose hair due to stress or depression. Thus it can be summarized that the causes of hair fall are many and it varies from person to person.

First and foremost to have a nourishing hair you must have a stress free life. The next important thing is to inculcate good eating habits and proper exercise. The most essential nutrients and vitamins that are capable of arresting hair fall and subsequently boosting hair growth are zinc, vitamin A, B and C, iron, calcium and folate. Spinach is a predominant source of iron, calcium and essential vitamins. Spinach is also rich in the natural conditioner sebum. Next vital source of vitamins are carrots and sweet potatoes both known to provide a nourishing hair and inhibits dandruff growth. Limit the consumption of potatoes to nominal levels since too much potatoes can augment the blood sugar levels as well.

Dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese are inundated with Vitamin B12 and zinc which are instrumental in alleviating hair fall. Walnuts, oats, lentils, strawberries and other antioxidant rich foods are also instrumental in augmenting the hair growth. People might be skeptical about sticking to such a regime all the time particularly for bachelors who prefer to eat out most of the time.
