Once deemed the enemy of a healthy diet, many nutritionists now consider saturated fats essential. The ketogenic diet’s popularity highlights this. Fat is beneficial for treating and preventing hair loss. Omega 3-deficient diets can cause hair stiffness and loss.
Male pattern baldness causes hairline receding and crown thinning. By age 50, half of men experience male pattern baldness. DHT, more potent than testosterone, shrinks hair follicles. Medications inhibit DHT; saturated fats in diets offer another approach. The best part?
There are no side effects like with some medicines.
Increased 5-AR in the body changes testosterone to DHT. As mentioned earlier, an increase in DHT means an increase in hair loss. Men eating more saturated fats often have less hair loss. Saturated fats can help reduce heart disease risk.
