Absolutely.
Certain dietary habits can worsen hair loss:
- Sugar
- Alcohol
- Zinc and Biotin (B7) Deficiencies
- Insufficient Protein (This is common among women)
Also having Covid or the Flu can cause temporary hair loss. But there are foods and nutrients you can consume to hair promote hair growth.
- Quercetin: promotes blood flow in the scalp
- Vitamin D: 5 studies found higher levels protective against hair loss. 2000 IU’s/daily minimum
- Iron: supplementation improved growth in women; absorption is best when paired with vitamin C; dietary sources include spinach, lentils, and almonds.
- Cruciferous vegetables: (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, kale, sprouts, etc) have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, especially sulforaphane.
- Soy: Especially edamame and tofu
Remember, women lose 50 – 100 strands of hair per day which is part of the natural growth cycle.
