Food for Hair Growth

[@NutritionFactsOrg]

CORRECTION on the pepper information around minute 2:40: I was confused by the “fresh” in the table, but as our new in-house video fact-checker just pointed out, the mg/g values for capsaicin were for fresh peppers… that were then dried! So it’s a little more daunting; instead of “a quarter of a fresh jalapeño,” it would really be like “a third of a habanero or a teaspoon of medium-hot red pepper (as per www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7455983/pdf/FSN3-8-4611.pdf).

[@Mantas_KK]

Why are you still bolded? 😮

[@snoggingmoise668]

I'm a bit confused about the pepper part (I'm Dutch). So it's either a third of a FRESH habanero pepper or a teaspoon of a medium/hot DRIED pepper? Is that correct? So you can use dried & ground habanero as well? And no more jalapeño?

[@JamesSmith-re8op]

I really wish you would have mentioned saw palmetto, the evidence for it and possible side effects 😔

[@vardaan9182]

To reduce hair fall, have a balanced diet that is rich in protein. Use a gentle shampoo for your scalp. I switched my shampoo and hair conditioner to littellextra cocoonniion a year ago, and it has reduced my hair fall.

[@HeyRajanVerma]

I’ve been using this Littlellextra Cocoonnion shampoo and oil and reactivaate hair serum for almost a year, and believe me, even in areas where there was no hair, I noticed hair roots starting to grow after 5 months. Now, most of the bald areas are covered with new hair. I highly recommend this product to anyone, it’s a long-term thing, apply it daily, massage into your scalp for 20 minutes, and wash it out the next day.

[@PeebeesPet]

Omfg stfu about protein. Almost everybody's diet is rich in protein.

Let me just say that I started eating pumpkin seeds everyday and I am seeing the positive effects. I cannot believe it still.

I'm sure that seeds have lots of undiscovered benefits!

[@snoggingmoise668]

So it's the exact same effect when you eat the whole seeds instead of taking the oil?

[@YD-uq5fi]

I have used Finasteride for 23 years with no ill effects and still a full head of hair at 50. I was thinning at 27 but now have about the same at 50 as at 27.

[@carlo.m5233]

What dosage? I'm on fenestride and Minoxidil.

[@1234kingconan]

I’m on fin and it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

[@carlo.m5233]

@@1234kingconan how long have you been on it. I am on it for about 4 months and I can notice my hair getting thicker. It's said that it takes 6months to 2 years to see improvements. Also add oral Minoxidil. Fin & Minoxidil work well together. So don't just use Fin

I got hit with sx side effects. Otherwise, was great. Trying nutrafol now. And isolating individual ingredients.

So could my regular intake of soya milk account for my improved hair condition.....? It used to fall out in handfuls. With reference to one of your other videos on this topic, I used to eat tuna at least once a week. Mercury?

[@calgal8308]

Are used to have soy yogurt and pumpkin seeds every day. I still have the soy yogurt but I stopped eating pumpkin seeds. I guess I better go back to the pumpkin seeds. I don’t like soy milk so I chose soy yogurt. Should be OK. Thanks for the video.

[@jssandler]

How do pumpkin seeds affect body hair generally? Should I be concerned about growing knuckle hair and a monobrow?

[@thebetergede]

You should be concerned, after eating seeds daily myself i started growing shoulder hair. Man at 29.

Well crud I’ve been already on Finasteride for a few months. No side effects yet but gonna stop before any happen. Trust me I did a lot of “testing” to make sure I had no side effects! But that pumpkin seed regimen has me convinced. I’m going to throw away the Fin and start an edamame, jalapeño, and pumpkin seed daily snack.

[@MultidomNinja]

How's the hair coming?

[@OlivierHokke]

any progress?

[@dorcusmallorcus6450]

Fingernails: OK so I half-watched this when it came out, and obviously did not pay attention, missed all the androgen stuff. I just thought hair/nails - same stuff, right? So I missed the point. My nails have always been terrible - fast-growing fragile. My thumb nails would never grow out to a round shape, but were always delaminating and splitting off like the leaves of a book. Looked pretty nasty, especially in a HC environment. So I began to eat a small hand-full of pumpkin seeds per day, expecting nothing. Nail growth slowed substantialy, so I continued. Now finally my nails are a lot tougher, rarely tear, and my thumb nails have both grown out to a complete shape. Only my on domiinant hand is there the last bit of the top layer at the tip still splitting, but it looks as if that will grow out too, eventually. Looking at the nutrient content of pumpkin seeds, I don't see anything that I would have connected with hair or nails, such as biotin.

[@johnmcewan879]

Is it better to grind up pumpkin seeds rather than eat them whole?

[@CristinaAcosta]

Too many bald vegans to get on board with this as anything other than a fix for an existing deficiency. Nice to know these foods help one maintain.

[@SimpleHealth83]

Just to clarify, is edamame the same as soybeans?

[@sowmindful1501]

Sure is!

[@AnnLCohen]

How many soybeans do you eat in a day?

[@tatanasd]

What happens if we eat the pumpkin seeds with their shells?

[@NutritionFactsOrg]

Hi, tatanasd! For some people with digestive conditions such as IBD, Crohn's disease, and UC, it may be best not to eat pumpkin seeds with the shells. For most people, however, it is safe. You can find everything on our site related to pumpkin seeds here: nutritionfacts.org/topics/pumpkin-seeds/ I hope that helps! -Christine Kestner, MS, CNS, LDN, NutritionFacts.org Health Support Volunteer

[@heathergrahame9647]

If you want to slow hair loss or improve hair growth, do grounding - that is, walk on the ground/earth in bare feet. There's an electric charge that goes through the hair, through the body, and out the feet into the ground. If this electrical path isn't used over a long period of time, the body says, "well, this hair on your head isn't being used, so we may as well get rid of it".

I am 48, turning 49 in a few months. I started taking bone, chicken and fish broths daily - mixed in a cup - 6 weeks ago. My once thinning and greying hair is now thick and the grey is going away. I put a lot of ginger, garlic, turmeric and a bit of black pepper in the broths. My hair looks like it did when I was around 30 years old now in terms of volume and colour. Also, apply a mixture of olive, coconut, rosemary and castor oils in your hair for hair growth.

Estrogens come from (milk, eggs, cheese, meat), soy has phytoestrogens that do not bind to estrogen receptors. Asian men have lower estrogen levels - high soy, low dairy diet (and no man boobs) American men in general have higher estrogen levels and a much higher obesity rate, and for lack of a better word Man-boobs....which is fine as long as someone is happy with their body then so be it.

Good news though in canada A&W (fast food chain) is promoting hormone free animal products and vegan options...win win for everyone....

That is a myth. There are actually feminizing hormones in dairy and meat, though, so maybe get more worried about that than soy...
