Bad Eating Habits that Lead to Hair Loss

Here are 5 Bad Eating Habits that are scientifically proven lead to hair loss:

1. Drinking Soft Drinks

Most soft drinks are loaded with sugar.
Even diet soft drinks have a lot of sugar in them. The average diet soft drink has the equivalent of 10 cubes of sugar. Non-diet soft drinks have considerably more.
That’s for a 12 ounce cup! They aren’t considering the 32 ounce super sized drink you get at your local fast food restaurant.

2. Mass Consumption Of Processed Foods

Processed foods often lack the vitamins and minerals you need to maintain healthy hair. Foods often lose much of their nutritional benefits when they are cooked or microwaved. Without those nutrients your hair will suffer.
The best way to get some of those lost nutrients is by eating some uncooked raw vegetables. You could have a salad for example. You can also get some of your foods from natural health food stores like Whole Food Market or Trader Joe’s.
You can also take vitamin and mineral supplements instead. However, unlike food sources, you can overdose taking supplements.

3. Eating Too Much sugar

Most people don’t realize just how much sugar they consume every day. The average person consumes 20 teaspoons of sugar a day (the average teenager 34).
Sugar can deplete the body of nutrients and raise adrenal levels. The elevated adrenal levels cause the body to produce more androgen and cause androgenic hair loss.

4. Eating Too Much Salt

Table salt has also been linked to hair loss. Some people often take idolized salt for Iodine supplementation. Fish is a better source of Iodine than table salt. Sea Salt is also a good alternative.

5. Eating Too Much Saturated Fat

Eating foods with saturated fat could cause increased DHT levels in the body. You should limit the amount of saturated fat you consume while taking prescription hair loss treatments.
