Five things your hair try to tell you about your health

Your mane is smarter than you think. Here’s what your hair can reveal about everything from what you eat to whether you are ill,

Here are a few things your hair want to tell you,

You’re eating too much junk food

A diet packed with highly processed foods can lead to a mane that’s dull or thin. Without a balanced diet, the body transports whichever nutrients it can get to your heart and other crucial organs, leaving your hair behind.

You’re prone to dental issues

Keratin is an essential building block for both your hair and tooth enamel, and mutations of the protein also result in a softer tooth surface that is susceptible to bacteria and decay. If you have a known hair disorder, it’s best to take steps to be extra vigilant about dental health

You’re incredibly stressed

You naturally lose about 80 to 100 hairs per day. But if you notice shedding that’s out of the ordinary, it could be telogen effluvium—a period of hair thinning caused by psychological and physical stressors (think an illness, pregnancy, or depression).

You need to be vigilant about eye health

No matter what color your hair is, it’s a good idea to always protect your eyes from sunlight exposure by wearing sunglasses. These eye-healthy recipes could help prevent mascular degeneration.

You could have thyroid issues

If your thick locks are suddenly thinning, ask your doctor about your thyroid, the master gland that controls the endocrine system and affects hair growth. It could be a sign of hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn’t produce adequate hormones.
