Experts warn: sudden hair loss may signal health problems.

According to ТСН: Hairstyle significantly affects self-esteem. Hair loss or thinning is natural, but sometimes they can cause concern. Experts emphasize that sudden hair loss may indicate serious health issues that should not be ignored.

There can be many causes of hair loss. In some cases, it is permanent, as with baldness, which is often hereditary. However, hair loss is usually temporary and can result from stress, illnesses, iron deficiency, rapid weight loss, or cancer treatments.

The impact of diet on hair

Those who worry about their hair often seek advice on social media. However, experts stress: your daily diet and beverages significantly affect hair health.

Dietitian Vinny Kodamala from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor explains how lack of sleep, eating in the dark, and cravings for sweets can influence hair growth.

“As the days become shorter, we are exposed to less natural light and more artificial light, which can disrupt our internal biological clock,” the expert noted.

According to Kodamala, disrupting the internal clock causes changes in hormonal and insulin rhythms, which, in turn, affects metabolism and blood glucose levels. This can lead to increased cravings for sweets or fatty foods.

“People concerned about hair loss should pay attention to their sugar intake. Excess sugar makes the pancreas produce more insulin, which can negatively affect the blood vessels of the scalp,” Kodamala emphasized.

Kodamala recommends avoiding sugary drinks such as pumpkin lattes or hot chocolate, as excess sugar can harm hair health. Sugar also causes inflammation, weakening blood vessels and the skin around hair follicles.

Dietitians advise consulting a family doctor if you notice a deterioration in your hair condition.

Caring for your hair in the cold season

Earlier, a cosmetologist explained how to properly care for hair in winter. She emphasized that during the cold season, hair becomes particularly vulnerable: frost, dry air, and temperature fluctuations worsen its condition, hair becomes weaker, greasier, and loses shine.

Understanding the importance of diet and habits in hair care can help avoid problems in the future. By changing your eating habits and paying attention to your condition, you can positively impact not only the health of your hair but also your overall health. Winter requires special attention to hair, as its condition may significantly worsen during this time, so it is essential to follow experts' advice.
