Hair loss anyone?

Hi everyone!

There have been several people in my life that have requested information about their hair falling out. There can be MANY reasons for this occurrence but the first thing to remember is to NOT worry! Worry and stress are one of the primary causes of hair falling out! Once you start breathing normally again think about what in your life is stressing you out? Your job? Your relationship? Your home? Could be anything but take a moment to think about it and see if you can’t think of something relaxing to do to counter it. After that please read the below information to combat hair loss naturally.

Below is a list of nutrients that can affect hair:

Omega 3's: I get this from eating flax seeds and taking a vegetarian supplement (picture enclosed).
Protein: generally you have to be super deficient for this to happen which in America is pretty rare. I have a previous blog on protein to ensure that we get enough!

Iron: Broccoli and Bok Choy (also have calcium which causes this type of iron to be absorbed nicely), soybeans, lentils, spinach, quinoa, tofu (tofu and broccoli together is another winning combo in terms of calcium absorption), tempeh, lima beans, swiss chard, beans, turnip greens, potato, and chickpeas.
B vitamins: Most Vegans and Vegetarians take a B12 supplement or a B complex so in theory most of us that are doing that should be okay. However, the b vitamins that are mentioned are in regards to hair loss issues are:
B7 or Vitamin H (Biotin): daily dose is 300mcg
B5 Pantothenic acid

These are present, besides in a B complex supplement in the following:
B7 or Biotin: carrots, mushrooms, cauliflower, bananas, and yeast (nutritional yeast is the best! It's amazing on popcorn and as a ‘mac and cheese’ substitute as well as having a lot of b vitamins, including b12)
B5: potatoes, vegetables, and whole grains (quinoa, millet, rice, MAYBE pasta)

Other random ideas:
Apple cider vinegar and sage tea applied directly to the scalp (thought to stimulate hair growth)
Psoralea seeds (a chinese herb applied to the scalp)
Ginger (taken as a tea or applied to the scalp)
