Obesity Accelerates Hair Thinning

The results of a study appeared in June of 2021 about the effects of a high-fat vs a standard diet on mice. Mice that were fed a high-fat diet were more likely to experience changes in hair and skin, as well as signs of increased oxidative stress, which has been linked to tissue damage and an increased risk of cancer. The changes in hair and skin were observed in just four days. “High-fat diet feeding accelerates hair thinning by depleting [hair follicle stem cells] that replenish mature cells that grow hair, especially in old mice,” according to one of the doctors who authored the study.

We have heard news like this in the past. But we have also heard news about certain fast-food fries possibly helping to grow hair. So which is it? What do we do? A well-balanced diet with enough protein and iron is a great start, along with other vitamins and nutrients that your body may be lacking, however, many modern diets do not include enough of what we need.

One of the best things you can try for yourself is HairStart­® Essentials™, a complete hair nutritional that contains the most important vitamins our hair needs, along with 11 opposing DHT ingredients. HairStart® Essentials™ is good for everyone, not only people with thinning hair. It is the best product for healthy hair that’s taken internally.
