(1) Pay attention to the intake of alkaline foods: Scientists have found that excessive dandruff is related to body fatigue. The reason for fatigue is that some acidic substances, such as lactic acid, uric acid, and phosphoric acid, accumulate in the body during the metabolic process, causing changes in the pH value of the blood and resulting in body fatigue. At the same time, it also affects the nutrition of the scalp. By consuming more alkaline foods, alkaline components (such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc.) can neutralize excessive acidic substances in the body, achieving acid-base balance. This is not only beneficial to the nutrition of the scalp but also reduces scalp flaking. Physiological alkaline foods include fruits, vegetables, honey, etc., and it is important to eat more of these.
(2) Eat foods rich in vitamin B2 and vitamin B6: Vitamin B2 has the effect of treating seborrheic dermatitis; vitamin B6 plays an important role in the normal metabolism of proteins and lipids. Foods rich in vitamin B2 include animal liver, kidneys, hearts, egg yolks, dairy products, eels, shepherd's purse, alfalfa, etc. Foods rich in vitamin B6 include wheat germ, yeast, grains, etc.
(3) Eat less spicy and irritating foods: When there is excessive dandruff, it is often accompanied by scalp itching. Spicy and irritating foods can aggravate scalp itching. Therefore, it is advisable to eat less or avoid chili peppers, mustard, raw onions, raw garlic, alcohol, and alcoholic beverages.
(4) Eat less high-fat foods: This is particularly important for those with oily dandruff. Excessive fat intake can stimulate sebaceous glands to secrete excessive sebum, which accelerates the production of dandruff.
