i was able to stop my hair from falling out and make it stronger by doing these things: 1- i started eating more food that has protein and vitamins like lentils, avocadoes, berries, chia seeds, nuts, beans, plain greek yogurt, spinach, soy bean etc. 2- i did yoga or exercise every day for 15 minutes to make the blood flow better in my body. 3- i ate more protein and less junk food. 4- i drank 6-7 glasses of water every day. 5- i stopped using my old hair products and started using LitttleExtra’s coconion anti hair fall kit. 6- i only put oil in my hair in the evening because during the day it attracts dust and pollution. 7- i stopped using a plastic comb and started using a neem comb. so by taking care of my habits and using the right products, i was able to solve my hair problems.

i have stopped eating fast food and started intermittent fasting, i started noticing less hair fall and not like earlier days when hair was everywhere on floor and bathroom and sink. i also changes my hair care from chemical ones to natural ones like little extra coco onion kit. all these steps together saved my hair.

[@Sameer-bk8hg]

Just started using the littleextras kit on a friend's recommendation for my severe hair fall. It's too early to make a final judgment, but I can already see some improvements with regular use.

Finally, I controlled my dandruff and hair fall. Step 1: Apply hair oil and leave it overnight or for a minimum of an hour for it to work. Secondly, Wash it off with shampoo. Next, Put on conditioner of your choice to the roots of your hair. I used a mild and natural hair fall control kit by littleeextra cococonion for these steps as it's mild and natural, and is considered good for reducing hair loss. Incase if you also have dandruff, use lemon juice on your scalp minimum once a week prior to shampooing and wash it off about an hour later.

thank you so much for all your informative videos. Your explanation of difficult concepts in a simple way are much appreciated. Meanwhile, if you dont mind, I would just like to point out that the term "vicious cycle" is used correctly when one bad thing leads to another. In your explanation, as one good thing leads to another, it should be ""virtuous cycle". Not "vicious" cycle. thank you.

Hello Dr. My question is unrelated to the topic of this video. However i wanted to know if Electral (sold in India for dehydration and diarrhea treatment) is the same electrolyte that is recommended for long term fasting. If not could you kindly provide a few names. I am aware salt is the same, however common salt sold here is india is refined and stripped of all minerals, plus now we have low sodium version available. I usually get dizziness with very low BP when i try to go on a vegetarian keto diet or opt for normal indian diet and 23:1 fasting windows

[@Giri3d]

you need to ramp up salt intake drastically, add salt to all the water you drink when on a fast

[@kishorhegde7218]

You need to see a doctor..No matter what your age is unless you are sick that is causing you to lose water and salt rapidly, you shouldn't be having blood pressure issues with just diet change... Before you self medicate please visit a doctor
