How Does Fasting Affect Your Hair?

 

There are different types of fasting people do: water only fasting, fruit fast, intermittent fasting, alternate day fasting, the list goes on. There are positive results from fasting and also there can be some negatives.

Understand what happens to your body when you fast is important. When you fast, your body goes into a state of ketosis, where it starts to break down stored fat for energy. This can lead to a decrease in the production of certain hormones, including insulin and IGF-1, which are important for hair growth. Additionally, fasting can cause stress to the body, which can also contribute to hair loss.  

While fasting , there are restriction of essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. These nutrients are vital for healthy hair growth, and their deficiency can lead to brittle, thinning, or falling hair. Moreover, some people may not consume enough calories during eating, worsening nutrient deficiency and hair loss.

So what do you do if you want to fast but don’t it to affect your hair health?

1. Consume adequate amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals during the eating period to support healthy hair growth. 

2. Take a specially formulated supplement to ensure your hair follicles get all the vitamins and trace elements needed to build new hair.

3. Collagen peptide powder can replenish the peptides and amino acids needed to build new hair.

4. Consuming enough calories during the eating period is crucial to prevent nutrient deficiencies and support optimal body function. 

5. Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining healthy hair and preventing dehydration, which can contribute to hair loss.

6. Stress can cause hormonal imbalances and inflammation, contributing to hair loss. Practice stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to manage stress levels and promote relaxation.
