A dietary item you enjoy might be the source of your hair loss. While certain meals are beneficial to your hair’s health and look, others can wreak havoc on your mane. We spoke with an expert about foods that are terrible for hair and can cause several hair loss problems in males, such as alopecia areata, male pattern baldness, and telogen effluvium.
“Zinc deficiency is associated with alopecia since it assists in hair follicle repair and is an inhibitor for weakening hair follicles,” explains Janvi Chitalia, Integrative Gut Microbiome Health Coach and Functional Medicine Nutritionist.
Sugar
Sugar consumption induces inflammation and increases blood sugar levels, damaging hair follicles and accelerating hair loss. Furthermore, insulin resistance leads to diabetes, which causes poor blood circulation, preventing nutrients from reaching the scalp and resulting in good hair.
Alcohol
Excessive alcohol use is never healthy for your skin, body, or hair. It harms Keratin, a protein component of the coat, and dampens the action of protein synthesis, weakening hair follicles and eventually leading to hair loss.
Junk Food & Fried Food
Foods substantial in saturated fats and poor nutritional density can cause the scalp to raise its increased testosterone levels, boosting DHT levels. Increased DHT levels can lead to alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease.
