Hi
I have a normal Indian diet, vegetarian. I eat fruits too.
My sleep is okay.
I am 44 years old, female, height 5’3”, weight 80 kgs.
In the last few months, I have been losing lots of hair. I don’t know why. I am very worried.
What I can I eat to improve hair growth?

Eating healthy is the answer to stay fit.
Check if you are having all essential nutrients adequately.
Deficiencies in any nutrient, like protein and B complex, Vitamin D, and other essential micro nutrients may be the cause of hair fall.
Stress is another causative factor for hair fall. De-stress yourself by doing yoga or meditation.
Medication or hormonal imbalances can also be causative factors.
Eat healthy foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals like eggs, milk and milk products, nuts, fruits and vegetables.

Hairfall could be a result of multiple reasons, ranging from hormonal changes to lack of nutrition.
If it’s sudden and constant, you can get a routine body check up done.
You should ensure a healthy and nutritional diet with more fresh vegetables and greens; continue taking external care like oiling once a week to enhance growth.
Comb your hair before sleeping for better circulation. You can use a neem comb as it is antiseptic; choose one with smooth edges.
Exercising is equally important for better blood circulation as well as balancing hormones.
Lastly, don’t overstress about your hair loss.
Start doing relaxing pranayams like Anulom Vilom for 10-20 minutes every morning or before going to bed.
