Precautions to prevent hair loss

If you want to minimize your hair loss, the two nutrients that you have to make sure you have plenty of every day. These nutrients are Vitamin A and Vitamin B.

• Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a key for developing healthy cells, tissues in the body, and reducing hair loss. Vitamin A deficiencies commonly cause thickening of the scalp, dry hair, and dandruff. Air pollution, smoking, extremely bright light, certain cholesterol-lowering drugs, laxatives, and aspirin are some known vitamin A inhibitors. Liver, fish oil, eggs, fortified milk, and red, yellow, and orange vegetables are good sources for vitamin A, as are some dark green leafy vegetables like spinach.

Sources of vitamin A:

Carrot
Milk
Beef
Egg substitute
Cheese
Papaya
Mango

• Vitamin B

B-vitamins work interdependently and therefore all levels of B vitamins need to be sufficient in order to maintain proper health. Vitamins B-6, folic acid, biotin, and vitamin B-12 are all key components in maintaining healthy hemoglobin levels in the blood, which is the iron-containing portion of red-blood cells.
Hemoglobin’s primary function is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body, so if these vitamins were deficient in your body, then hair and skin would suffer.

Sources of vitamin B:

Mollusks
Liver
Haddock
Milk
Egg
Nuts
Green vegetables
Mushrooms
Meat
Enriched cereals
Pasta
Fish
