Daily Foods That Stop Hair Growth

We have always argued that diet is the basis for our health, but also for the way we look. That’s why all the specialists say we need to pay close attention to what we eat to be healthy. Health can also be seen in the hair, and nutrition is a factor that determines how healthy our hair is.

What are the foods that affect your hair’s health? See below our list with foods that are actually slowing down hair growth:

1.Sugar and sweets

Sugar is one of the number 1 enemies of our health and unfortunately is consumed in super excess in our society. Sugar can interfere with the absorption of proteins in the body, which is very important for our body’s health, for the development of muscle mass that keeps us healthy and, of course, for the growth of our hair. Vitamin E absorption also suffers when we eat too much sugar, and Vitamin E is necessary for having our hair grow and look healthy. Due to sugar, its level decreases which slows the hair growth process down. You do not have to ban sweets from your diet, but try to reduce as much as possible your daily sugar intake.

2.Salt

Salt is no good for our hair, as is no good for our body either when consumed in excess. Salt is generally recommended in daily diets, but keep in mind that the daily amount of salt permitted is 6 grammes. Studies have shown that excessive salt consumption leads to excessive hair loss. Consume foods with as little salt as possible if you want to have a thick and healthy hair.

3.Wheat flour

Most people avoid wheat flour because it is full of carbohydrates and, as we all know, flour will make us gain weight, but too few know that flour can also harm our hair. Products containing wheat can cause hair thinning, so you should take a break from them once in a while – if you should fail to give up on them completely.

4.Alcohol

If you want shiny, thick hair, try to quit alcoholic beverages. They reduce the amount of zinc, folic acid, vitamin B and vitamin C in the body, and hair will lose its shine. Moreover, without the necessary nutrients, the hair will be more fragile and will fall easily.
