According to Trichologist Eva Proudman at Absolute Collagen, “diet and hydration play a key role” in hair health. For menopausal women experiencing hair loss, a focus on diet and hydration could go a long way. Dr. Bruce Marko, Hair Restoration Surgeon, shares the details:
As previously discussed on his blog, Dr. Bruce Marko has highlighted the surprisingly common experience of hair loss in women. An estimated 30 million women in the U.S. are affected by this issue, with leading causes being hormonal changes, genetics, stress, vitamin deficiencies and other health conditions.
Absolute Collagen Trichologist Eva Proudman explains that by focusing on diet and hydration, menopausal women could see a real improvement in their experience with hair loss. In fact, the effects could even help prevent such an issue from occurring during the menopause phase. Specifically, Proudman suggests incorporating more foods into your idea that are high in Omega-3 and protein. The Trichologist explains that this could be as simple as stitching convenience foods for breakfast and taking the time to prepare a protein-rich meal of eggs and seeds.
Increasing Omega-3 and protein in your diet can help provide your body with more keratin: the fibrous, structural protein that makes up hair, skin and nails.
Dr. Bruce Marko’s Day to Day Diet Recommendations
While Dr. Bruce Marko is not a nutritionist or dietary specialist, the Hair Restoration Surgeon can certainly agree that Omega-3s and protein play an important role in hair health. Foods rich in Omega-3 and proteins include:
- Lean Meats (Beef, Lamp, Veal, Pork)
- Fatty Fish (Salmon, Mackerel, Sardines, Tuna)
- Legumes (Soybeans, Black Beans, Chipeas, Kidney Beans)
