Can a change in diet improve hair loss?

Can you improve hair loss with a change in diet. A study carried out by Dr. Gary Null, Ph.D., and Martin Feldman, M.D. called “Nutritional Intervention Reverses Damage to Hair and Skin” evaluated the effect that lifestyle improvements had on hair and skin, physical fitness, and mental function.

According to Holistic Mind Body Healing, the goal of the study was to induce hair growth in bald areas of the scalp, slow hair loss, and reverse greying; characteristics which are said to be controlled by genetics. In effect, the question asked was can food overcome genetic limitations?

Participants were asked to make significant lifestyle changes by adding the following six components into their daily routines: exercise, stress management, self-actualisation, nutrition, supplementation, and environmental hygiene. They were asked to eliminate all animal and shellfish protein, dairy products, wheat, alcohol, caffeine, sugars, artificial sweeteners; fried, packaged, and processed foods, artificial colourings, and yeast. Additionally, their diet consisted of 40-60 kg of proteins from vegetarian sources and fish, at least nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily, four servings of beans and grains, high quantities of green juices. The length of the study was six months.

Of the 138 participants, about 70% noticed improvements in the thinning of the hair and hair texture. Sixty five percent said they noticed improved luster of their hair, 58% reported less graying of hair, and about 50% had darkening of their hair. There were also improvements in skin, physical and mental well being, and increased energy.

And while you’re making changes to your diet, La Biosthetique Bio-Fanelan Shampoo – Shampoo for Use with Hair Loss is a refreshing active shampoo stimulates the scalp’s metabolism as soon as you start washing the hair, helps to combat hair loss and promotes hair growth.

Benefit:

The Shampooing Bio-Fanelan gently activates the scalp’s metabolism as soon as you start washing the hair. At the same time, the active shampoo contains an innovative fatty acid/protein complex to stabilise and strengthen the scalp’s natural hydrolipid film in the event of hair loss and the hair’s lift and volume are restored. Hair-active lipoamino acids instantly improve the hair condition and give it new strength. Valuable mint oil gives the scalp a regenerative break that makes it wonderfully refreshed and invigorated. The results can be both seen and felt. The hair’s energy, body and shine is restored. Shampooing Bio-Fanelan supports optimum hair growth and offers a perfect start for all subsequent special treatments such as Bio-Fanelan Régénérant Premium.
