Sweet drinks cause hair loss and hair loss in men
Sugary drinks such as soft drinks, milk tea, milk coffee, energy drinks or bottled fruit juices are popular sources of simple sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) in modern formations. Excessive consumption of these drinks not only causes weight gain or diabetes, but also increases the risk of hair loss and frizz in men.
Sugar changes hormones:
When men drink a lot of sweets, their bodies secrete a lot of insulin to lower blood sugar. High insulin activates the enzyme 5α-reductase, which increases DHT hormone a factor that causes small, weak hair follicles and premature hair loss, leading to frizz.
Sugar causes inflammation and reduces scalp circulation:
Excess sugar increases oxidative stress, causing chronic inflammation and narrowing capillaries, causing blood to nourish hair follicles to decrease. Therefore, hair is dry, weak and grows slowly. Research shows that men who drink more than a can of soft drink a day have a 30 - 40% higher risk of hair loss.
Sugar weakens scalp structure:
High sugar levels create glycated products (AGEs) that damage collagen and elastin, make the scalp less elastic, harden and feel weak. Hair follicles gradually weaken, hair grows sparingly and is prone to drops.
In addition, drinking a lot of soft drinks, milk tea or milk coffee often causes the portion to lack the nutrients needed for hair such as zinc, iron, vitamin D or biotin, reducing the ability to synthesize keratin - the main component of hair fibers.
The secret to helping men prevent hair loss and hair loss
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the amount of free sugar per day should not exceed 10% of total energy - equivalent to less than 50g for healthy adults. Meanwhile, just a can of 330ml of soft drink contains about 35g of sugar, which is nearly 3/4 of the safe limit. If you add more energy to your milk coffee or water, your sugar intake can easily exceed the threshold in just a few hours.
To keep hair strong, men should limit sugary drinks, including "no calories", instead with water, green tea or unsweetened vegetable juice. Supplement foods rich in protein, iron, zinc, vitamin D, biotin and omega2; get enough sleep, manage stress, exercise regularly to balance hormones and increase blood circulation to the scalp.
In addition, you should avoid alcohol and tobacco because alcohol and nicotine both reduce microctinguancy absorption. Just cut back on one can of soft drinks per day, you have helped your scalp become stronger and maintain the form of your hair.
