Foods That Cause Hair Loss

In an earlier psot, I introduced you to some foods that can stop hair loss and promote hair growth. You should also know that there are foods that can CAUSE HAIR LOSS. These foods are best avoided. Foods that cause hair loss are:

  • high-sugar
  • high-fat
  • high-salt
  • alcohol
  • caffeine
High sugar foods fuel the ageing process and can induce hair loss. Consumption of excess fat can replace essential proteins that are essential for healthy hair.

Foods high in salt increase hypertension and reduce blood flow to the scalp in turn causing hair loss.Excess alcohol consumption can reduce the zinc content in our body causing hair loss. Zinc is essential to the growth of healthy hair.

Too much caffeine can induce stress. It has been found that people who are stressed out experience more hair loss than those who don't.
