Iron Deficiency Anemia and Hair Loss

[ninaross]

Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including excessive styling and extensions, as well as stress and hormones. If your hair loss is accompanied by symptoms such as exhaustion, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, then lack of nutrients may be to blame.

Iron is a necessary mineral for hair growth. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when your body is unable to create enough red blood cells (hemoglobin). It usually happens if your diet is lacking in iron-rich foods or if you aren't absorbing them properly.

Anemia can also be caused by blood loss, illness, or pregnancy. Red blood cells transport oxygen to hair follicles, helping in regular, healthy hair development.

You should consume a healthy, balanced diet to avoid future Anemia hair loss. Consume iron-rich foods such as spinach, peas, and red meats. Vegans can get nutrition from foods including Irish sea moss, Burdock root, kale, spinach, and dandelion root.

If you suspect that your hair loss is caused by an iron deficiency, see a doctor to have your iron levels checked. A physician may advise you on the necessary solution, to help restore your iron levels to normal. The most effective treatment for anemia is to get iron from both nutritious food and the right supplement.
