WHAT SHOULD I EAT TO STOP HAIR-FALL

We live in an environment surrounded with all kinds of pollution and adulteration be it in the air that we breathe, water that we drink and even the food that we eat. Our habits, life-style and environment are all contributing factors towards hair-fall. Weather the hair-fall generates from a genetic problem, external factors or our over-all health, we need to reduce the amount of chemicals going into and on our bodies. And it begins with something that we do more than once, everyday - Eat. What we put into our body as food and drinks shows directly on our skin and hair health. If you are having hair-fall, you must look into what you are eating and what you are not.

A simple way to begin this process is to cut down on refined sugars, packaged food and junk. What these foods do is slowly load the body with hidden chemicals that affect the life of hair-roots and skin cells. Always carry a small pack of mixed dried-fruits and seeds in your bag that you can have when you feel like snacking. Not only will the mixed dry fruits and seeds be surprisingly crunchy, naturally sweet and delicious but they will also provide your body with the missing nutrients that your hair-roots require for strength. You will lose weight in the process, gain more muscle and energy, your skin will look better and your hair-fall will have reduced.

A good combination of dried-fruits and seeds intended to reduce hair-fall should include good quality mix of Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Flax Seeds, Black Sesame Seeds, White Sesame Seeds, Musk-Melon Seeds, Watermelon Seeds, Kashmiri Walnuts, Kashmiri Almonds, Cashews, Sun Dried Figs, Dates, Dried Apricots, Black Raisins, Kashmiri Golden Raisins.

The better your softly massage it across your scalp, the cleaner it will be leaving no traces of grease and even dandruff.

Halim Seeds are a rich source of Iron and if had regularly can effectively reduce hair-fall by strengthening hair-roots from within. Soak one tea-spoon every night and have the next morning. You may add them to cereals, smoothies, shakes or to salads. Make this your morning routine and slowly but surely start the process of saving your hair.

HOW TO COPE WITH STRESS TO REDUCE HAIR-FALL 

The most important and ignored factor when it comes to hair-fall is stress. If you live in a high stress environment and do not take the time out to un-wind regularly you are most likely to face un-natural hair-fall. Allow yourself to take regular breaks from work or your regular routine to un-wind your mind. Do things that you enjoy - travel, work-out, learn a new skill, meet friends, cook, watch your favourite movie or show, take a walk or whatever that it takes to break away from the usual. Learn to slow down a little bit and observe more of the life that we all so work hard for.
