The Role of Nutrition in Hair Loss Prevention
Healthy diet maintenance is one of the best things for hair loss
prevention. Though there are certain factors influencing the
hair loss, maintaining regular exercise and healthy diet will
definitely bring fruitful results if you are suffering from hair
loss.
The common dietary nutrients which help in hair loss prevention
are copper, iron, zinc, iodine, protein, silica, vitamin-A,
Vitamin-B complex (vitamins B--6 and B-12), biotin, water and
folic acid. In addition to this one must know about certain
food, which may cause hair loss.
Maintaining a healthy mineral and vitamin intake doesn't mean
that you should buy a lot of over-the-counter vitamin
supplements and fill your cabinet with hair loss prevention
supplements. You should be aware that most vitamin supplements
available at drugstores or pharmacies are not able to get
absorbed by the body, since they are chemically processed.
Sometimes over dosage of these vitamins might cause adverse
reactions and toxicity. Hair loss prevention can be achieved
best by getting the mass of your vitamin needs from food itself.
The first and foremost dietary component that helps best is
vitamin-A. One of the key components of hair is vitamin A. It
prevents clogging and drying of the sebaceous glands, which is
an essential for hair follicle lubrication. Thus it helps to
prevent hair loss. The main source of dietary vitamin A is fish
oil, fortified milk, eggs, liver, and orange vegetables. Dark
green leafy vegetables are a good source of vitamin A.
Vitamin B is essential for red blood cell metabolism.. Your body
needs vitamin B to make hemoglobin. The function of hemoglobin
is to transport oxygen from the
lungs to the body tissues
including hair. For hair loss prevention, it is always advisable
to have high hemoglobin level in the blood. The vitamin B
complex can be obtained through chicken, pork, kidney, liver,
fish, and soybeans. In general, daily inclusion of any one of
these items might help in hair loss prevention. Folic acid will
get assimilated in the body via cereals, nuts, whole grains,
orange juice, wheat gram and liver. Folic acid also plays an
important role in hair loss prevention. Another important
nutrient that causes hair loss prevention is Biotin. One should
be aware that a serious intestinal disorder or malnutrition
might affect the absorption of biotin, since biotin is produced
by living bacteria in the healthy gut.
It is obvious that Asians consume exactly the food that is
enriched with these nutrients that are an important part in hair
loss prevention. Particularly rice is an important part of Asian
diets and that's why Asians tend to have strongest and
healthiest hair. Although maintaining a healthy diet is the best
way for hair loss prevention, consuming these diets in correct
form is essential. Moreover the green vegetables and foods
should be eaten uncooked, as they may lose trace minerals once
they are cooked extensively.
