Experts recommend. What foods you shouldn't eat if you're experiencing hair loss and how to replace them

Good nutrition and healthy hair are two related things, experts say. Even though hair loss and shedding can be caused by genetics, as well as stress and hormonal changes, there is a lot to be said for the impact of a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and healthy fats if your goal is to have beautiful locks.

As She Finds writes, eating the right foods is crucial for hair health. But it's also important to avoid foods that can harm your strands.

Less bacon

Bacon and other ultra-processed meats contain nitrates, chemicals, and preservatives that can worsen your health and affect hair growth by causing inflammation.

Eat more fish, especially salmon

Your hair and body need protein to stay healthy, so you'll get a lot more out of fish like salmon, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

Drink fewer carbonated drinks

The high sugar content of soda causes inflammation in the body, which negatively affects hair follicles and can stimulate hair loss. Aside from the quick burst of energy they provide, sugary sodas have few health benefits.

Drink more water

Water is important for flushing out toxins and toxins, as well as for moisturizing every cell and follicle in your body.

Eat fewer breakfast cereals

Breakfast cereals are often high in sugar, which can cause inflammation in the body. Adding milk to your cereal can provide you with calcium and vitamin D, which are important for your hair, but the fat content also increases testosterone levels in your body.

More oatmeal with blueberries

Instead of eating cereal every day, consider replacing it with fiber-rich oatmeal. Add blueberries for naturally sweet antioxidants and almonds for more vitamin E, healthy fats, and protein.

Less instant soup

This soup is quick, easy to prepare, and you might think it's a healthier alternative to fast food. However, it's packed with sodium, which can strip your body of moisture. Hair needs a healthy level of moisture.

More homemade soup

Don't forget to eat soup - just try making it at home to avoid preservatives and high salt content.

Eat less red meat

According to Yoram Hart, MD, board-certified dermatologist and medical director of MDhair, another food that causes hair loss and weakening of the strands is red meat.

"Try to reduce the amount of meat and fried foods in your diet," he says, as it increases inflammation and promotes the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This male hormone, he adds, is associated with androgenic hair loss.
