Hair Today Growing for Tomorrow

(Newswire.net — February 11, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Beauty is a multibillion dollar industry with hair care, extensions and products accounting for a large chunk of the market. Hair has always been associated with female sex appeal, male virility and overall status symbol so it’s little surprise that people are willing to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars in their quest for the prefect look. What’s surprising is how little people invest in improving their natural hair and overall health. 

“Sebum, the natural oil produced by your body, forms an outer layer on your skin and hair known as the acid mantle, which holds in moisture and protects against foreign contaminants like bacteria and dust mites,” explains True Moringa. “Both the products we use on our hair and bodies and the foods we eat can disrupt our natural internal and external pH balance. The American diet, high in sugar and carbs tends to overload the digestive system with acids, bringing down our pH balance, causing discomfort, and most shampoos and cleansers are highly alkaline, overcompensating to treat oily skin or hair, but leaving it stripped and dull instead.” 

The best hair care rule of thumb to follow is that less is more. Less chemicals, less acid, less products equals less hassle. It’s a simple equation that solves a modern day complexity. Scientists have established that there are approximately 100,000 follicles on the scalp of people with black hair while blondes are thought to have 10% more follicles than that and redheads 10% less. Everyday hair falls out and makes way for new growth so each day is a chance to enhance the quality locks on one’s head, but how exactly? Well, committing a minimalist hair care routine is a good start but the real difference will be through a change in diet. 

“It is an imbalance of acidity and alkalinity that allows unhealthy organisms to flourish, damages tissues and organs and compromises the immune system,” explains Dr. Axe. “Normally, the kidneys maintain our electrolyte levels, those of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. When we are exposed to acidic substances, these electrolytes are used to combat acidity. High degrees of acidity force our bodies to rob minerals from the bones, cells, organs and tissues.” 

So a poor diet is at the root of all hair evils. An inadequate diet can even cause hair thinning and eventually total hair loss, moreover, it’s highly unlikely that any product currently available will contain just the right mix of equal parts of crocodile fat and hippopotamus dung, as ancient Egyptian scroll prescribes for stimulating hair restoration. A more palatable remedy is to look within and learn how pH balance can be regulated to boost hair growth.

Foods that produce acid in the body are generally the super yummy or convenient stuff to most people, by that we’re talking about sweets, meats, alcohol and pastas. As such, a concerted effort should be made to consume more alkaline producing foods which are typically fruits, vegetables, yogurt and nuts.  

Monitoring pH levels as dietary transitions are made is vital to understanding just how much of what is being consumed actually helps or hinders one’s internal chemical balance.
