[여성건강] Excessive dieting leads to hair loss

Nutritional imbalance due to high obesity or excessive dieting can exacerbate ‘hair loss’, in which hair falls out. In particular, I started dieting because I wanted to be prettier and handsome, but if I overdo it, it can poison my hair, so you need to be careful.

First of all, obesity or bad eating habits can affect the secretion of hormones that cause hair loss.
On the 24th, Kim Jong-un, head of the 365mc all-new Gangnam branch, said, “There is a possibility that obesity is the cause of hair loss. When there is obesity, especially abdominal obesity, the influence of male hormone ‘androgens’, which is pointed to as the main culprit for hair loss, may increase. he explained.

A high-calorie, high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet favored by obese people is also a problem. This raises blood cholesterol levels, which in the process promotes the production of the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone stimulates the secretion of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hair loss.

Hwang Jeong-wook, CEO of Hair Loss Treatment Hospital, Jerim Mo, said, “DHT shortens the growth phase of hair, making it thinner, and lengthening the resting period for hair loss.”

CEO Kim also explained, “Hyperlipidemia is a type of metabolic disease such as diabetes that accompanies obesity and abdominal obesity.

Excessive dieting is also related to hair loss.

In particular, the problem is that amino acid activity decreases due to insufficient protein intake. Amino acids are essential for the production of keratin, a protein that makes up hair. If there is a lack of amino acids, hair follicles may fall out as the hair follicles enter the resting phase.

CEO Kim said, “There are not many women who experience hair loss during dieting, but stress from diet and weight loss itself and nutritional imbalance are the causes.”

He continued, “The diet for weight control cannot be temporary and it is important to practice it consistently, so it is always important to plan and practice a diet that considers the balance of nutrients.”
