Does Nutrition effect Hair Loss?


Could something simple as improper nutrition really cause excessive shedding of hair?

Does proper nutrition help stop hair loss?

The answer to both questions is yes! It is proven that poor nutrition and stress contribute to hair loss. Modern diets are deficient in important nutrients which contribute for healthy hair. These include:

1. The consumption of white flour and rice which are devoid of Vitamin B and Iron.

2. Over cooking of vegetables which destroys most of the vitamins.

3. The absence of green vegetables and fruits from most meals.

4. Stimulants like caffeine, nicotene and alcohol diminshing absorption of vitamins and minerals from the body.

5. Low fiber intake inhibits digestion and hence reduces the absorption of nutrients from food.

Therefore it is clear that we should eat healthily and lead a relaxed type of life to enjoy a perfect head with thick hair.
