Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Three protein shake ingredients that can accelerate hair loss
Caption: Three protein shake ingredients that can accelerate hair loss. While protein shakes can be beneficial to your health, especially for those who exercise regularly, they may contain ingredients that cause hair loss due to excessive sugar and vitamin imbalances. Dr. Abdulaziz Balwi, leading hair doctor at Elithair, has revealed which ingredients could be affecting your hair. Protein powder. Some protein powders contain large amounts of sugar, so it is important to check the ingredients list before buying. Dr Balwi explains that consuming too much sugar can interfere with the body's absorption of vital nutrients and cause inflammation, which can damage hair follicles. Bananas. Bananas are a popular ingredient in protein shakes, but you should be aware that they can quickly raise your blood sugar levels, especially if they are overripe. ”Bananas can increase blood sugar levels rapidly. This then impacts insulin levels, which cause a series of hormonal changes - including an increase in androgen production.” Increased androgen can lead to an increased production of sebum on the scalp, which can block the hair follicles, risking hair loss. Leafy greens. Leafy greens like kale and spinach are an important part of a healthy diet, but it is possible to overdo it. While this is a good option for those who don't otherwise eat foods rich in vitamin A, if you tend to include foods such as eggs, carrots, sweet potatoes or fish in your regular meals, you could be consuming too much vitamin A, which can increase hair loss.
