In a recent newspaper article, Dr Anjali Mukerjee, a nutritionist and founder of Health Total, a nutrition counseling centre, said that nourising diet and regular exercise are vital to fight hair fall. I am reproducing here a couple of paragraphs from her article:
Nutrition is the key. Intake of quality protein is a must. You can opt for soya bean and soy products, pulses, lentils, milk, curd and nuts. Iron can also be obtained from other sources like green leafy vegetables, garden cress seeds, dates, raisins, eggs etc. Nuts and seeds are good sources of magnesium and zinc, that promote hair nourishment. Fish, flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, mustard seeds and soya bean are also good sources of essential fatty acids that promote hair nourishment.
The health of your hair depends on the circulation to the scalp and the nutrients in your blood. Regular exercise will stimulate circulation. Coriander juice with mint and curry leaf juice helps provide beneficial nutrients. Silica and biotin are other nutrients that are proven to be good for the hair. Biotin helps improve the metabolism of the scalp surface. It is present in foods like eggs, goat liver, yeast, whole grain cereals etc. Topical application of almond oil, castor oil or olive oil on the scalp has shown to be beneficial.
