No matter if you are a man or a woman, hair loss seriously affects your appearance and mood. To treat hair loss through diet, what should you eat? Traditional Chinese medicine recommends 3 dietary therapies.
What to eat for hair loss
First, supplement with iron. People who frequently experience hair loss often lack iron in their bodies. They should eat more iron-rich foods such as roasted peanuts, spinach, carp, bananas, carrots, and potatoes.
Second, supplement with plant protein. For dry and split hair ends, one should eat more legumes, black sesame seeds, and corn. Legumes, especially black beans, are a good source of protein and iron, providing the necessary nutrients for hair.
Third, raisins are rich in iron and promote the production of hemoglobin, which helps deliver nutrients to the body's tissues and organs. It also improves scalp blood circulation, providing greater support for hair growth.
Fourth, supplement with vitamin E. Eat more fresh lettuce, cabbage, and black sesame seeds. Vitamin E can resist hair aging, promote cell division, and stimulate hair growth.
