Baldness is a pathological complete or partial loss of hair, mainly in men, and, accordingly, a rather serious psychological problem that can cause a large number of complexes. Many pharmaceutical companies offer remedies for baldness, but at the moment, none of the drugs can guarantee the cessation of hair loss. While pharmacists are working on creating a miracle cure, American scientists have named a list of products that can, if not cure baldness, then significantly slow down the process of hair loss.
Doctors distinguish two reasons for systematic hair loss: associated with internal problems in the body and with external influences. If an outwardly healthy person suffers from premature baldness, then the cause is a hormonal shock, decreased immunity, heredity or unbalanced nutrition, which causes a lack of essential vitamins in the body. Among the external causes, the most common are various infectious diseases, the effects of chemotherapy, post-traumatic processes, severe stress.
With age, more than 50% of mature men face the problem of complete or partial hair loss. The most common form is androgenic baldness. According to doctors, 95% of men and 35% of women suffer from this form of baldness. This type of baldness is associated with the amount of male hormones in the blood, which explains the fact that women, even older ones, suffer from hair loss much less often. Too much male hormones, in particular dihydrotestosterone, combined with a genetic predisposition to baldness is almost a 100% guarantee of gradual hair loss.
According to American scientists, premature baldness is influenced not only by heredity and the presence of male hormones in the body, but also by proper balanced nutrition.
Doctors have identified a list of products that can have a positive effect on the growth and maintenance of strong hair on the head. Products that contain a sufficient amount of fatty acids, which have the property of stabilizing the level of cholesterol in the blood, can stop the process of hair loss. The diet of a healthy person must include the following products: fatty red fish and seafood, vegetable oil for dressing salads and stewing vegetables, chicken and quail eggs. Do not forget about protein foods: legumes, mushrooms, lean white meat - this is not only healthy and dietary food, but also a source of substances necessary for the body, which can also have a positive effect on the preservation of hair. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds contain zinc, the deficiency of which can provoke partial hair loss. This microelement is found in abundance in pumpkin and sunflower seeds, in natural dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa beans.
Doctors do not guarantee that changing your diet will lead to increased hair growth, but studies have shown that proper nutrition slows down hair loss by 99%, strengthens follicles and normalizes a person’s hormonal levels.
