The Fearless Beauty Approach to Nutrition
Hey Fearless Beauties,
Did you know that the key to radiant skin, strong nails, and luscious hair lies in the nutrients we provide our bodies? Our overall health, medications, and potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies play a significant role in the growth and strength of our hair.
While the connection between hair and nutrition is a field still blossoming with discoveries, the journey is fascinating, and we're here to shed some light on it.
Understanding Vitamins and Nutrient Deficiencies Linked to Hair Loss
Regarding hair loss and hair strength certain vitamins and nutrient deficiencies could be at play. Iron deficiency (anemia) is believed to impact hair health, with evidence suggesting a connection between hair loss and low iron levels. Women, due to their menstrual cycles, are more prone to iron deficiency. Vitamin C enhances iron absorption within the body so combining the two will put your skin and nails on track, a balanced approach is key!
Zinc deficiency is another factor linked to hair growth issues, associated with specific types of alopecia. You can find zinc in cereals, meat, and dairy, but consult a professional before use to avoid potential side effects.
B vitamins, including B12, Biotin, Niacin, and Folate, contribute to overall hair growth. Plant-based diets may pose challenges in obtaining these vitamins, so incorporating these vitamins into your diet is a helpful option.
To truly know if vitamin deficiencies are contributing to your hair issues, consult your GP for blood tests to check your vitamin and mineral levels.

The Impact of Restrictive Diets on Hair Health
Restrictive diets not only affect hair but also your overall well-being. Unbalanced diets or insufficient healthy food intake can lead to hair thinning and loss. Avoid diets that feel restrictive, because they can in most cases deprive your body of essential nutrition.
While there's no conclusive evidence linking one specific diet to hair health, it is clear that any restrictive diet can hinder hair growth. Beware of diets eliminating entire food groups and not replacing their added value. For example, if you eliminate meats from your diet your intake of veggies and beans that are high in protein needs to increase or double to replace the protein from the meat you cut out of your diet
.
Can Hair Supplements Work Alone?
If your hair loss stems from a specific vitamin deficiency that's challenging to address through diet alone, hair supplements can offer added benefits. However, a balanced and varied diet remains crucial for a spectrum of vitamins and minerals. Always consult with your GP when experiencing hair loss to rule out underlying causes.
Remember, your journey to beautiful hair starts with the right nourishment!
