Hair Loss and Protein: What’s the Connection?

 🥚Why Protein Matters for Hair Health

Hair is primarily made of a protein called keratin. This means your body relies on a steady supply of protein to grow and maintain healthy hair. If your diet lacks adequate protein, your body may divert it to essential functions (like organ repair and hormone production), leaving hair follicles undernourished.

🍗Are You Getting Enough Protein?

The recommended daily protein intake varies depending on age, activity level, and individual goals. As a general guide:

Sedentary adults: ~0.8g per kg of body weight

Active individuals or those building muscle: 1.2–2.0g per kg

Older adults: May need slightly more to prevent muscle and hair loss

🚨What Happens If You Don’t Eat Enough Protein?

If your body doesn’t get enough protein, it will use the little it has for important things like your heart and muscles—not for your hair. This can lead to:

Hair thinning

Hair falling out more easily

Hair growing slower

🥦Good Sources of Protein

Try to eat protein-rich foods every day. Some good options are:

• Eggs
• Fish
• Chicken
• Yogurt
• Beans
• Lentils
• Nuts and seeds
