It has been found out that hair loss is mostly caused by having too much androgen hormones in the body. While androgen is usually more abundant in males, due to genetic inheritance, some females also have more androgen than their bodies need. Because of this, everybody can suffer from hair loss, irrespective of their age, gender and ethnicity.
Apart from genetic reasons, researches have also figured out that environmental toxins can also result to massive hair loss. Moreover, too much stress or anxiety, drugs, trauma and thyroid conditions are also known causes of hair loss.
Given that anyone can suffer from it, it is highly advisable for each one of us to take precautionary measures against it. For example, by eating fresh fruits which are rich in the vitamins that can help enhance hair growth and resist hair fall, one can actually supply his or her body with all the nutrients that it needs in order to maintain a healthy and glowing mane.
Whether you are currently suffering from hair loss or not, here is a health regimen that you can adopt in order to keep your hair healthy. Just remember to consult a professional nutritionist or at least your physician, so that they can check your current physical condition and see if you are ready for such a diet.
Vitamin A
Experts strongly suggest that Vitamin A can greatly improve the health condition of one’s hair. Apart from drastically reducing hair loss due to breakage, it also improves the overall structure of the hair. Thus, from the roots to its tips, the hair is rejuvenated and renewed, making it stronger that it currently is.
Vitamin A is also known to increase the body’s ability to grow hair fast. In fact, most hair growth concoctions and medications are infused with Vitamin A. Further researches even revealed that a deficiency in this Vitamin can result to excessive hair breakage, split ends and other hair-related problems.
You can get Vitamin A from fresh apples, grapefruits, passion fruits, papaya, cantaloupes and guava. Extracts of these fruits are also added to many hair products available in the market today. Rather than patronizing these products, why not eat the fruits, that’s more fun and deliciously that way!
Known alternatives to Vitamin A are: retino, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene. These compounds are pre-existent in our bodies and are normally excreted during metabolism.
Vitamin B Complex
Also known to reduce muscle-related problems, Vitamin B complex also help in reducing hair loss. These compounds can improve a person’s blood circulation and thus, oxygenate the cell throughout the body more effectively. When the cells have enough oxygen, they tend to be healthier and this trickles down to the overall health condition of the body as this can reduce stress, as well as cholesterol level.
In simple words, Vitamin B complex helps the body to optimize its ability to grow hair. The specific compounds that do this are the Inositol, biotin and para-aminobenzoic.
Natural sources of Vitamin B complex are pineapple, raspberries, cranberries, strawberries and tomatoes.
Vitamin C
This vitamin is a very powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C can help the body is so many ways — especially in improving the body’s immune system. Moreover, this vitamin is also an important agent in the growth and repair of our hair tissues. It enables Vitamin B complex to function, without this “catalysing” vitamin, inositol, biotin and para-aminobenzoic will not be able to function in the body.
Natural sources of vitamin C includes: citrus fruits (like oranges, lemons, ponkans, pomelo and the like), lychee and mulberries. You don’t have to worry if you have too much Vitamin C because your body simply washes that away through your urine. The same is true with all the other vitamins. Your body will not be harmed by the excess of vitamins and minerals, as it can just drain it out of your system. Thus, all you need to do is to get as much of these vitamins as you can so that you can maximize what they can do in your body.
