Hair loss in men

You can still improve hair loss in the most effective way possible, and the method we want to mention is to supplement the necessary foods for hair.

“Like other parts of the body, hair also needs nutrients to grow healthy. However, when nutrients enter the body, they will go to the important organs in the body first, then to the hair. Your job is to supplement nutrients so that the organs in the body and hair are nourished to be healthy,” said nutritionist Rainia Batayneh.

Here are the essential nutrients for thick hair.

1. Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, tuna, flaxseed oil, walnuts, and kale not only help keep your brain healthy, but also provide essential nutrients to hair strands and cell membranes in the scalp, nourishing hair follicles and helping hair grow healthy and beautiful. In addition, Omega-3 fatty acids also increase hair elasticity, helping your hair avoid breakage.

2. Zinc

Zinc, found in beef, oysters, green beans, and wheat germ, promotes tissue growth and regeneration, keeping your scalp and hair healthy. It also helps regulate hormones in the body (including testosterone) that help maintain the activity of the oil glands on the scalp, creating an environment for your hair to grow.

The amount of zinc needed to supplement each day is 11mg.

3. Protein

Protein is contained in egg yolks, yogurt, chicken, soybeans... A balanced diet with protein-rich foods not only makes hair stronger but also grows faster.

4. Iron

Iron is found in dark green vegetables, red meat, whole grains, oysters, mussels, etc. Iron helps blood circulate to the body's cells, providing oxygen to the scalp. If there is a lack of iron, the lack of oxygen to the scalp makes it impossible for hair to grow quickly.

5. Vitamins A and C

Vitamin A found in carrots, watermelon, liver… helps produce sebum, a vitamin necessary for hair growth.

Vitamin C found in strawberries, pineapples... helps boost immunity, prevents free radicals in the oxidation process of hair follicles and prevents hair loss.

6. Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients for hair. Lack of this substance can cause hair breakage. Magnesium is found in cashews, lentils, halibut...

7. Selen

Experts say that selenium helps strengthen the immune system, increasing selenium supplementation can prolong life and increase fertility. In addition, selenium also helps stimulate hair follicle growth. Selenium is abundant in marine fish and grass-fed animals such as lobsters, scallops, etc. However, selenium should be supplemented in reasonable doses.
