Missed last nights Instagram Live? Here’s briefly what I covered with Aine from about hair & scalp health
🍃Postpartum hair loss - most likely linked to low blood levels/low iron. After growing a baby it’s important to replenish your stores. Eat blood nourishing foods, better still if your a new mom get someone else to do it for you! If your not vegetarian/vegan then Bone broths, red meat especially lambs liver, eggs. Also green veg/plants, beetroot, apricots etc
🍃Alopecia - can be due to high stress, thyroid/hormonal imbalance, low Vit D, poor/low protein intake, blood deficiency
🍃menopausal - hormonal shift causing raised temp & dryness. Caution with food & drinks that cause more dryness eg Excess alcohol, caffeine, dried baked goods. Caution with spicy food. Include omega rich food such as Oily fish, nuts, seeds, avocado
🍃Dermatitis - think strength if the immune system so maybe zinc (fish meat eggs pumpkin seeds etc, , Vit C(fruit&veg), VitA beta carotene (orange coloured veg) probiotic & fermented foods, omegas (fish nuts seeds) Vit D
🍃Psoriasis - Vit D, Omega foods, Vit A, Pro&prebiotics, reduce stress, possible food intolerances such as Wheat gluten, detox liver & gut
🍃Dandruff - possible candida so reduce sugar, yeast and include probiotics 🍃Biotin =Vitamin B7. Take in a B-Complex if high stress otherwise as part of hair skin nails formula rather than on its own. Rich sources are eggs & wholegrains
🍃Gingers.. increase your zinc rich foods
🍃no one size fits all!
