Here Is The Discussion On What Your Hair & Scalp Say About Your Health- Part 2

The Continued Part 

We move on to the next part framing more reasons and causes for having a healthy body. Maintaining healthy hair and scalp can surely help to have a healthy body. What are the recent factors we have featured here?  

Luscious Locks Need Nutrients

Is it possible that a crash diet might cost you your hair? It could in extreme cases. Along with omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin A, your hair needs protein and iron to stay healthy while too much can thereby promote hair loss. Often lacking in sufficient nutrients and can stunt hair growth or leave hair dull and limp, are very-low-calorie diets. Hair can fall out if the nutritional deficiency is big enough like someone with an eating disorder. 

A Hair- and Heart-Healthy Diet

By eating salmon and walnuts for omega-3 fatty acids, spinach and carrots for vitamin A, brazil nuts for selenium, as well as oysters and cashews for zinc, these foods help keep hair shiny. Just as low-fat dairy, whole grains, and vegetables do, they help maintain scalp and hair health. Doubling the results is the food that is good for your hair is also good for your heart. 

Premature Gray Hair Is Genetic

More often, going grey doesn’t always relate to aging. Chances are that it runs in your family if you are not yet 40 and see more than a few grey hairs. Though anaemia, thyroid issues, vitamin B12 deficiency as well as vitiligo can cause premature greying, grey usually isn’t a sign of poor health. While it is possible that highlighting or colouring the hair can cover the grey, beware that some people come sensitive to the chemicals in dyes. Here it results in an itchy burning scalp. 

Traction Alopecia Damages Follicles

It can damage hair follicles and cause the hair to break or fall out pulling hair too tight that can happen with ponytails, braids, and cornrows. As their extra weight pulls on existing hair, hair extensions and hairpieces can sometimes cause traction alopecia. It usually lets hair grow back by changing your hairstyle. Leading to permanent hair loss is pulling hair back tightly for a long time. 

Over styling Weakens Your Hair

Damaging the outer layer of your hair is blow drying, using a flat iron, colouring, bleaching, even over-brushing. Your locks become dry and dull when the inner core of hair is exposed. You can over style to the point that your only option for healthy hair is to cut it off and start over although it doesn’t cause any permanent health damage. Doing less leads to healthier tresses when it comes to your hair. 

A Surprising Side Effect

Anticlotting drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, antidepressants, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as drugs for menopause, birth control, and antibiotics, are among the medications listing hair loss as a side effect. When the medication is stopped the hair usually grows back whereas it may not in some cases. 

Scalp Massage Feels So Good

It can do wonders to relieve stress, as there is no evidence that massaging the scalp will slow hair loss or improve any scalp conditions. Making it super sensitive to touch your scalp is covered with nerve endings. Helping release tension is by rubbing your scalp. Triggering the release of feel-good hormones like dopamine and serotonin is the result of massaging. 

Hair Analysis Not Reliable

To see if you are deficient in vitamins or have health problems, some companies claim they can analyse hair clippings. Findings can be inconsistent and varied although hair analysis can detect some poisons like lead or arsenic. The test results may be affected by everything from air pollution to shampoo. It is against hair analysis to determine treatment as the American Medical Association comes to be. 

Concluding For The Time Being

Research is on to find how hair and scalp can mirror the health of the body. Including protein-rich food in your diet and taking proper care of the hair and scalp can give you a healthy look. Here we include what is currently being observed by the experts and doctors as the best options to maintain your health. No matter what your age is and what your diet is there may be conditions where you would require to include supplements in your daily diet. Stay tuned as we are sure to bring you more on the recent findings and causes for a healthy body.
