Unhealthy eating habits can undoubtedly worsen the state of the hair. So here are some foods you should avoid if you want healthy hair. Some meals that harm hair include those listed below: ·        Sugar Your hair will suffer from the hidden threat the same way your general health will. In addition to hair loss or even causing baldness in both men and women, studies have revealed that sugar, which causes diabetes and obesity, is also a reason for hair loss. In addition, a diet rich in sugar, carbs, and processed carbohydrates is the leading cause of hair fall. ·        High-Glycemic Index Foods The foods that raise insulin levels are those with a high glycemic index. High GI foods include refined flour, bread, and sugar. These meals can produce hormonal imbalances, a rise in insulin, and an increase in androgens, which bind to hair follicles and cause hair fall.  ·        Alcohol  The majority of hair is composed of the protein keratin. The protein keratin gives your hair structure. Alcohol can cause hair to become weaker and lackluster because it has a detrimental effect on protein synthesis. Additionally, excessive alcohol use can harm follicles by killing them and by causing nutritional imbalances. ·        Diet Soda It has been discovered that the artificial sweetener aspartame, which is present in diet sodas, can harm hair follicles. Therefore, it is advised to altogether avoid diet sodas if you have recently started suffering hair loss. ·        Junk Food  Junk food frequently contains saturated and monounsaturated fats, which can lead to hair loss in addition to causing obesity and cardiovascular illnesses. In addition, eating greasy meals may cause your scalp to become oily, clog your pores, and cause your hair follicles to become smaller. ·        Raw Eggs Whites Although eggs are included in the hair growth biotin-rich food chart, they shouldn't be eaten raw. It is because lack of vitamin biotin, which is necessary for the formation of keratin, can be brought on by eating raw egg whites. In addition, avidin, a substance in raw egg whites, reacts with biotin to prevent intestine absorption. ·        Fish  An abrupt loss of hair may result from high mercury levels. Fish is the most frequent mercury exposure since overfishing, and climate change has increased the amount of methyl-mercury in fish over the past few decades. Mercury is abundant in sea-water fish like swordfish, mackerel, shark, and some types of tuna.
