Hair Loss - Diet and Nutrition (Part IV)

« Back to Hair Loss - Diet and Nutrition (Part III)

As of yet, diets high in fat have not been proven to be part of the hair loss cause. But the connection seems to be present. Societies that consume a higher fat diet show significantly higher numbers of pattern baldness cases that those groups who maintain a low-fat diet in studies which show almost no hair loss. Male Pattern Baldness or MPB is rarely seen in native Asian and African men. Studies have found the after moving to America, people from ethnic groups that do not suffer from MPB in their homelands start to do so in America. It is strongly believed that one important factor in hair loss can be linked to eating habits.

Diets high in fat contents do increase a subject's testosterone levels, and testosterone is one of the main components of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The evidence that reducing fat intake will help is persuasive, if not yet conclusive. A balanced diet rich in important nutrients is essential in the fight against hair loss.

Cereals are vital to making sure undigested food moves through the body and to the bowels properly. By not doing so, fermentation of the remaining food can occur and the effect will be a blockage of nutrients absorption. This can lead to toxicity that worsens the body's overall health and leads to hair loss, as well as to the obvious malnutrition. You will find that toxemia can result in serious dysfunctions within bodily systems, particularly hair loss-related illnesses that include eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea, and a number of others. To avoid illness and maintain general health, nothing works as well as keeping the body clean and free of toxins. Eating a large amount of fiber is good for regular cleansing. To ensure a proper amount of dietary fiber, consume healthy amounts of fresh vegetables, fruits and legumes.

A natural way to obtain minerals, vitamins, and trace minerals is to consume fresh juices. A significant boost to the system and prevention of hair loss can be achieved by using organic vegetables and fruits. Fresh squeezed juices are great because of their high enzyme levels, which are easily used by the body and have the same nutrients as the whole product. Additionally, because of their high enzyme content, the nutrients present in juices can be readily stored and used by the body. Especially since enzymes in cooked foods are reduced.

While the some benefits of the vitamins and minerals are retained, pasteurized juices purchased from the store and juices that have been stored reduce these benefits. Almost all fruits and many vegetables can be properly juiced in order to extract the maximum benefit from them. Extracting juice from carrots in an organic way produces high levels of sulfur, iron, potassium, and silica. Most of the trace minerals the body needs can be found in carrots. By adding cucumber juice, the effects of carrot juice can be enhanced by its high silica and sulfur content. Organic spinach juice contains iron, vitamin A, and other minerals and vitamins. It should be consumed either by itself or mixed with carrot and lettuce juice, which also provide vitamin A and silica. However it is important to not intake any non-organic spinach juices due to the extreme amounts of pesticides found in the juice. Also do not take spinach juice, if you have the tendency to get kidney stones since it contains large amounts of the oxalic acid, which promotes kidney stone growth.

To stay healthy, one should be cautious with many foods. The intake of harsh substances such as alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and nicotine will invariably deplete the body of some of its essential nutrients while simultaneously raising adrenal levels, causing a chain reaction in which more androgen is produced and hair loss increases. DHT levels are known to increase with the consumption of a high-fat and cholesterol-rich diet and therefore these foods should be eaten in moderation. In addition, common table salt has also been associated scientifically with increased hair loss. Most people's diets contain the RDA for sodium, so you should never add salt at the table. Iodine is necessary for hair development and to keep hair from falling out, so you should be sure to use iodized salt when preparing food.

While hair loss may be the result of several variables, you will find that a deficiency in proper nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle will almost invariably result in hair loss in most men. Adhering to a proper diet containing the above nutrients can reverse hair loss caused by malnutrition. It does not matter whether hair loss was due to malnutrition or not, to follow a healthy diet will be helpful to the entire body.
