Food items to avoid hair loss problems

Much as we blame pollution and the ultraviolet rays for all the damage our hair has to face, a major reason could be the food we snack on. You may buy sunsilk, pantene or for that matter any shampoo for your hair, but in the present day trend of short meals, junk food, fast food, our body seldom gets the nutrients it craves for leading to hair loss. And you know its craving for some healthcare when the number of hair strands on your comb and rollers increase by the day.

With all the stress levels and extended working hours, people have got themselves into unhealthy food habits which have in turn resulted in weaker, drier and more brittle hair.

However, in this fast paced lifestyle, we must take note of what we eat. What you must know is the ‘evil’ on your plate. We list down here some ‘evils’ who cast a ‘damage-spell’ on the health of your hair. Keep safe distance from them, we warn!

Coffee and Tea – Excess of consumption leads to greater amount of caffeine in the body. It leads to dryness of hair and thus makes it brittle.

High consumption of alcohol causes depletion of zinc present in the body. Zinc is essential for hair growth.
Excessive amounts of salt causes damage to the blood. Also causes other health issues. Hence blood flow to the scalp is affected and hair growth is hindered.

Preserved foods, canned foods, food with artificial flavor and artificial colours cause adverse affect on health. The body stays deprived of fresh nutrients, thus, leading to hair problems. Foods with saturated fats and high in sugar are unhealthy.

An over-nourished diet is also harmful: excessively high protein diet can have adverse effects.
Avoid trans fats.

As much as healthy snacking is important for proper nourishment, it is necessary to eat at regular intervals. Under-eating or skipping meals will lead to lower levels of nutrients.

Always Remember!!! Monitoring our diet is the foremost solution to any health problem and not splurging on online cosmetics store to buy beauty products for your hair. These things do help but keep in mind health is wealth.
