While genetic factors remain the number one reason for hair loss in women and hair loss in men, there are still ways we can help keep the hair that’s on our head from falling out, as well as help our hair to more quickly regenerate itself and promote healthy follicles.  There are some hair loss remedies like Provillus and Profollica which use the principles of natural medicine to help stimulate the genesis of new hair growth by infusing the body with ingredients that it needs to create these necessary building blocks.

After all, your hair is just like your skin – it’s a collection of new cell growth, and when the right environment and nutrients is not there, hair cannot regrow itself or weakens substantially, falling out and not being replaced.  This can also be due to other factors besides genetics.  Some medications, for example, have been known to cause hair loss, and also some physical conditions have been known to have hair loss as a side effect, but these are often more easily rectified since they are dependant on another factor, not just the genes you were dealt by your mother and father and their mothers and fathers.

Since hair loss has been linked to deficiencies in vitamins E, B6, iron and the all important zinc, you would want to focus on foods that are high in these ingredients, but also low in fat since high fat intake has been linked to increased levels of the hormone testosterone, which is the primary culprit behind premature hair loss – in both men and women.  Dang those male hormones, they’re also responsible for acne!

Some of the foods that you can eat plenty of and they may give you a healthier head of hair that’s more resilient to hair loss are : almonds, which are a great source of all the vitamins listed above,a nd also happen to be high in the ultra healthy unsaturated fat which helps you to stay thin and metabolize better, omega 3 fatty acids.  Steak is actually good to eat if you’re worried about hair loss.  There’s that other little issue about red meat being bad for your heart and other health issues, but steak actually has some of the goods that will help you to regenerate your hair more easily.

Milk is another good one because it is high in protein, and is generally good for the hair skin and nails – but only drink low fat.  Eggs are also an excellent source of the vitamins we listed above, and they are rich in other nutrients as well. If you’re concerned about your cholesterol, then just make the eggs with only half of the yummy yolk and this should cut your cholesterol in half that you are consuming.
