Eat foods that contain iron and zinc
Hair loss refers to a condition in which there is no hair in the area where hair (hair) should normally exist. Generally, it refers to the loss of thick, black hair on the scalp, that is, the pubic hair. Unlike soft hairs that are colorless and thin, if they fall out, it may cause cosmetic problems. Koreans, whose hair density is lower than that of Westerners, have regarding 100,000 hairs, and it is normal for regarding 50 to 100 hairs to fall out per day.
However, if the number of hairs falling out following sleeping or washing your hair exceeds 100, it is most likely due to a pathological cause, so it is better to consult a doctor. There are also natural remedies that can help fight hair loss. U.S. health and medical media ‘Web MD’ introduced regarding it.
◇Onion juice
The sulfur component in onion juice helps hair regrowth. In a study of people with alopecia areata, half applied onion juice to their scalp twice a day, and the rest used tap water. After two weeks, 74% of the onion juice-applied group had some hair regrowth. Only 13% of tap water users are tap water users.
◇Iron
Iron helps make blood. Low iron levels are associated with hair loss. Foods rich in iron include meat, fish, tofu, and broccoli. You should consult your doctor before taking non-food iron supplements. Ingesting too much can cause vomiting and constipation, and very high doses can be fatal.
◇Biotin
Some doctors prescribe biotin (aka vitamin B7) to treat hair loss. Biotin is also found abundantly in foods such as eggs, wheat germ, and mushrooms. Many hair products claim to contain biotin.
◇Zinc
Zinc aids in most of the body’s processes that keep a person alive, so it’s no surprise that it nourishes the hair by strengthening the hair follicles under the scalp. Your body has no way to store zinc, so you need to get it from your daily diet. Zinc is found in beef, oysters, crabs, black beans, and pumpkin seeds.
◇Saw Palmetto
According to some studies, saw palmetto helps prevent hair loss by preventing the breakdown of the male hormone testosterone. It is not clear how well saw palmetto works, but it is known to be safe to take with other medications.
◇Apply essential oil
Essential oils are aromatic oils used to make perfumes and fragrances. Sandalwood, lavender, rosemary and thyme oils have been used to treat hair loss for over 100 years. The compounds in these oils promote hair growth. Applying and gently rubbing one or more oils on your scalp for at least two minutes each night, then wrapping your hair in a warm towel can help absorption.
◇Pumpkin Seed Oil
Daily consumption of edible pumpkin seed oil (oil) helps to restore hair. One study found that men who took four pumpkin seed oil capsules daily for six months increased their hair count by 40%. Pumpkin seed oil, like saw palmetto, can prevent the conversion of testosterone into a compound called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is associated with hair loss.
◇Green tea
Compounds in green tea can help with a variety of health problems, including hair loss. It is a compound called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that helps with hair growth. In a study in which green tea extract was given to bald rats for 6 months, it was found to have a hair restoration effect. However, these studies have not been conducted in humans and caution is warranted with the use of green tea supplements. Green tea supplements also contain other compounds that can make you sick.
◇Amino acid
Some amino acids, such as cysteine and L-lysine, play a special role in keeping hair healthy and growing. However, there is no need to take supplements. It is good to get amino acids through a healthy diet. Foods rich in amino acids include cottage cheese, fish, eggs, seeds and nuts, whole grains, and meat.
