Now days, thinning or receding hairline is not a privilege reserved only for the middle-aged or retirees. Many young women limit their food intake to attain a pencil-like stature, whereas young men pile on the protein drinks and meat to beef up their muscle mass. This type of one-sided dietary habit is often a main culprit towards thinning hair and poor skin growth.
When caloric intake is very limited for periods of time, our body would ensure the limited fuel goes to our vital organs first and aesthetics of beautiful skin and hair would be of the least concern, since it is not vital for survival. In addition to eating balanced meals, taking blood and yin restoring herbs such as Dong Gui, He Shou Wu and black sesame would help to invigorate skin and hair producing cells.
For those carnivores that do not eat vegetables or fruits are doing themselves disservice because the fibers make sure the digestive tracks are swept clean and the arteries are free from clogging up. Without this cleaning action, the gunk inside will manifest itself onto the outside with such irritants as acne, oily skin and easy to fall out hair.
