Hair Loss Prevention Tips
Below are four simple tips to help prevent hair loss. Make sure you consume lean protein foods at each and every meal. Tip #2: Take your vitamins.
Many nutrient deficiencies can lead to hair loss, so think of your daily vitamins as medications. Ferritin levels are indicative of iron storage in the body and low ferritin levels are commonly associated with hair loss. Iron rich food sources include red meat, egg yolks, dark leafy greens, beans/peas/legumes and iron-enriched cereals.
Tip #4: Try zinc. If you’ve tried tips 1-3 and you are still losing hair, consider adding additional zinc to your diet. Be sure to speak with your dietitian or doctor before starting a zinc supplement as excessive amounts of zinc can cause serious side effects.
Other nutrients associated with hair health include vitamin A, folate, B-6 and essential fatty acids.
