If you have less and less hair and you don't know if it's just genetic, read on: your diet may be to blame for your alopecia
Tired of being increasingly bald? Not sure if it's just genetic? Do you notice that every day you have less hair? Don't worry, reader.
Although your baldness is most likely caused by how your parents made you (it is always liberating to blame someone), the truth is that diet plays a large role in your obvious alopecia.
Foods that promote baldness
On many occasions, baldness increases or appears due to eating an incorrect diet or not taking certain foods that strengthen hair.
And we do not say it, but the capital surgeon Antonio Burgos, who has revealed what are the foods that we should not consume if we do not want baldness to run its course or prevent its appearance. We tell you:
1) sugar
The sugar is bad for the twenty - first century. Scientific popularizer Gary Taubes, in his book ' The Case Against Sugar ' (Random House), points in this direction: he assures that sugar causes a long list of modern health problems, from asthma to hypertension to cardiovascular accidents. or even some types of cancer.
Besides all this, sugar is the best friend of alopecia, both in them and in them. "Its excessive consumption makes it difficult to control stress, causing a decrease in the levels of certain hormones and proteins, such as B and E, necessary to maintain healthy and strong hair," explains Burgos.
2) Bread, cookies and cakes
Simple or refined carbohydrates must be added to sugar, which are loaded with this white powder.
We must avoid any type of sweets, chocolates and sweets; also cookies, cakes, breads or any product made from white flour.
The reason? These foods prevent the absorption of nutrients necessary for hair growth and, therefore, affect and weaken the follicles.
3) Salt
The salt, besides making us fat by fluid retention is also very bad for your hair, it can dry it, cause you to lose volume, slowing their growth and accelerate its fall.
4) Sausages and fats
Eating foods high in fat, such as cold cuts or fast food, damages hair regeneration because it causes an increase in testosterone, accelerating hair loss.

5) Some fish
We must avoid fish and shellfish that have high levels of mercury, present especially in tuna or swordfish.

6) Alcohol
Consuming excessive alcohol causes us not to properly absorb zinc, which contributes to hair growth. Furthermore, spirits dehydrate us, making hair weaker and brittle.

If we want to stop hair loss or prevent it, his thing is that we follow a healthy diet, which in addition to making us have great hair will keep us in shape.
Following a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole carbohydrates and eating foods loaded with vitamin D (milk and eggs) and omega 3 (salmon, avocado ...) is all we need to have healthy hair. Or, at least, to have something.One way to control blood sugar is to eat a healthful diet. Generally, foods and drinks that the body absorbs slowly are best because they do not cause spikes and dips in blood sugar. The glycemic index (GI) measures the effects of specific foods on blood sugar levels. People looking to control their levels should pick foods with low or medium GI scores.
