Prevent hair loss with healthy lifestyle habits and good nutrition

These days, I have been worried because my hair falls out more than before every time I wash my hair. I have heard many times that I should try to prevent hair loss before it progresses and that it becomes difficult to treat once it worsens, so I looked for good ways to prevent hair loss. I changed my lifestyle habits to help prevent hair loss, and eating good foods has helped maintain my hair, which makes me satisfied.

Firstly, there are many ways to prevent hair loss, but I started by changing my lifestyle habits. I used to wash my hair in the morning, but I learned that waste products accumulated on the scalp and hair during the day could clog pores and promote hair loss, so I started washing my hair in the evening. Additionally, to ensure good blood circulation to the scalp, I massaged from my neck to my scalp to prevent hair loss. Lastly, I tried to develop a habit of going to bed around 11 PM because the cells that produce hair are most active between 11 PM and 2 AM.

Secondly, to prevent hair loss, I maintained a balanced diet and consumed foods beneficial for hair. Since sufficient intake of proteins that form hair is essential for preventing hair loss, I ate black beans, spinach, tofu, bean sprouts, and eggs at least four days a week. I ate black beans in various ways, such as healthy snacks, side dishes, and with milk. Additionally, these foods are rich in isoflavones, a type of plant-based estrogen, which has the effect of inhibiting DHT production, a cause of hair loss. Since I avoided greasy foods like fried items and bread, blood circulation in the scalp improved significantly, which was beneficial.

Third, to prevent hair loss, I drank a lot of health teas instead of coffee or carbonated drinks. He Shou Wu tea is recorded in the Dongui Bogam as a remedy that boosts qi and darkens hair, and it is considered effective for preventing hair loss by replenishing kidney qi, so I started drinking it. Additionally, jujube tea not only has good antioxidant properties but is also effective in preventing hair loss and helps produce melanin pigment to darken hair, which is why I chose it.
