DONTS OF THE HAIR-FROM-WITHIN PROGRAM

In addition to the positive factors named above for the prevention of baldness and for the stimulation of hair growth, here are some negative ones. Avoid the following: salt; white sugar and white flour; excessive amounts of animal fats; alcohol and smoking; prolonged emotional stress.

Experiments conducted in Sweden indicate that cutting down salt in the diet will significantly reduce hair loss. The American scientist, Dr. Eugene Foldes, of New York, has in his experiments arrived at similar conclusions.

White sugar and white flour and all foods or beverages made with them are not only worthless from a nutritional point of view, but they are definitely health destroyers. Prom the originally good natural products, sugar beets, sugar cane and whole wheat, virtually all the nutritive elements have been removed. What remains is nothing but pure starch, which you certainly don’t need to grow hair. What is even worse, sugar and white flour destroy B-vitamins in your system—the very vitamins that you have learned a few pages back are so vital for the healthy condition of your hair.

Alcohol is pure carbohydrate and also destroys B vitamins in your body.

Tobacco constricts blood capillaries and robs your system of vitamin C: both important factors connected with hair loss. It has been proven by extensive research performed by Dr. J. H. Burn, of Oxford, that smoking constricts the arteries and small capillaries, and slows down blood circulation.

Excessive amounts of animal fats and refined carbohydrates in the diet can adversely affect the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands, as has been found by the famed dermatologist Dr. Lubowe. Replace animal fats and hydrogenated fats in your diet with cold-pressed unsaturated vegetable oils, such as corn oil, safflower oil, wheat germ oil, olive oil, etc., all also rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E.

Avoid prolonged emotional and mental stress. Emotional stress causes constriction of the blood vessels of the scalp and tensions in the muscle tissues. This will block the narrow blood capillaries of the scalp and prevent blood from coming to the roots of the hair.
