LIFESTYLE THAT TRIGGERS FOR HAIR LOSS

Your diet gives you the building blocks necessary to support a healthy body, and if you do not give it the building blocks it needs to produce healthy hair, it won’t, the following substances and conditions are  linked to a greater chance for hair loss:

CAFFEINE

The studies revealed that men who drank higher levels of caffeine were more likely to have hair loss as they aged. One possible reason for this connection could be that caffeine triggers the stress response in the body. High levels of stress are linked with a greater likelihood of future hair loss.

STRESS

Are you constantly stressed? If you don’t relax you might be contributing to your hair loss. The studies found that men and women who led a more stressful lifestyle were more likely to lose their hair.

FATTY ACIDS

Researchers found that certain fatty acids helped protect hair while others interfered with hair health. A diet high in omega 6 fatty acids were more likely to lead to an increased risk for hair loss, while omega 3 fatty acids protected hair health.

SMOKING

Men and women who smoked were more likely to see hair loss in greater amounts than men and women who abstained from smoking.

ALCOHOL

Men and women who drank more than 1-2 glasses of an alcoholic beverage per night had a higher chance of balding as they aged.

DANDRUFF

Researchers found that dandruff weakens the hair follicle, leading to hair thinning and hair loss.
