Snack Size Science: Vitamin E and the quest for thick hair
Many men and women are losing their hair these days.....is it in the food we eat, the air we breathe or simply we are a generation of stressed out individuals?
Hormones which are essential for all body functions are now causing havoc in the body due to imbalances which again may be caused by culprits such as improper food intake (energy-dense but of no nutrient value), pollution and stress. 4 out of 7 Americans are suffering from hair loss and the same goes for countries such as Hongkong (by the number of mushrooming ads targeting at this group of people).
However, please do not fret if you are losing 200 strands of hair each day as this is normal. And contrary to popular beliefs, combing your hair more than 100 times a day will not prevent hair loss, though i believe it does promote better circulation of the scalp and thus results in hair growth.
The audio podcast above highlights the benefits of vitamin E (from palm oil) in arresting hair loss.
