The Top 3 Nutrients To Prevent Balding and Hair Loss
Hair loss is a common problem which can occur in both men
and women with age due to a hormonal imbalances.
The hair strands can start to thin out in certain places on your scalp,
it can recede from the front, or you may have a bald patch appear at the back of the head.
This is caused by having higher levels of
DHT, (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone which tends to increase with age.
DHT contributes to hair loss on the scalp by shrinking the
hair follicles growth phase (anagen) and prolonging the shedding (telogen) phase.

1. Zinc The first
and most important nutrient to prevent balding is Zinc.
Over 2 billion people worldwide are deficient in Zinc, a mineral
which is involved with the growth of hair tissue and preventing hair loss.
Eating foods such as oysters, shellfish, red meat, and seafood regularly
helps supply your body with zinc, and other trace minerals that support hair growth.
Zinc blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT,
therefore reducing the risk of age related hair loss in both women and men.
Zinc also nourishes the hair by keeping the oil glands around the follicles working properly.
2. Phytosterols The second item on our list is Phytosterols
Phytosterols are naturally occurring compounds found in plants
which have been shown to help prevent hair loss with age.
Like zinc, these have also been shown to block an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase
which coverts your hormones into DHT, therefore preventing hair loss.
Pumpkin seed oil is a fantastic source of phytosterols which you can consume
internally on a daily basis to help protect your hair follicles with age.
You can also apply this topically, by massaging a few drops into your scalp and leaving it overnight
before rinsing. This penetrates into the hair follicle to prevent damage from DHT,
whilst the nourishing oils from the pumpkin seeds also help strengthen the existing hair strands.
Other excellent sources of Phytosterols include almonds,
sesame oil, macadamia nuts, saw palmetto and extra virgin olive oil.
3. Vitamin B2 The third nutrient is Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is another vital nutrient
when it comes to blocking DHT and preventing the hair from thinning out and balding.
Studies show that B2 activates other nutrients like B6 and Niacin which are
crucial for growing and nourishing strong, thick, shiny and healthy hair strands.
Nutritional yeast is one of the best natural sources of this nutrient, but you can also
get it from eating grass fed beef, wild caught salmon, almonds, mushrooms, eggs and avocados.
Green Tea Bonus remedy: Green Tea
Drinking green tea on a regular basis is another excellent way to help prevent hair loss.
It contains EGCG, a type of natural compound called
catechin, which also blocks DHT from doing damage to your hair follicles.
This compound also has some powerful anti-aging effects
by reducing free radicals and oxidative damage in the body,
Resulting in younger looking skin, healthier blood sugar levels and a stronger cardiovascular system.
