Hair loss is a prevalent issue in modern society, and it can be caused by various factors, including long COVID. In addition to medical reasons, diet can also contribute to hair loss.
Chen Hsin Hung, the director of Taiwan’s Joyful HAN Chinese Medicine Clinic and a hair care and growth specialist, recently shared five foods with The Epoch Times that can potentially damage hair and cause hair loss.
1. High Sugar Content
Sugar is a significant source of energy that is vital for the metabolic growth of human cells. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the sweetness in sugar can enter the spleen, and a moderate amount of sweetness can help to invigorate the spleen and enhance digestion.
