Foods rich in saturated fats

The foods, once fried, not only have high levels of DHT but, among other things, they lose precious nutrients useful for the well -being of the scalp and therefore are to be avoided.

Energy bars

Very often, food supplements with 0% fat, such as energy bars, are rich in a specific way of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS): this additive determines a poor cardiovascular response and in the management of glucose.

Protein supplements

Foods rich in sugar

Even insulin, if high, is the cause of hair loss: too sugary drinks, candies and sweets in general must be eaten one -off, not regularly.
