Will skipping breakfast lead to hair loss? 6 common hair care mistakes we all make – CNA

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and, according to Kei, it is true in terms of its application to hair health. “Your hair is the first to suffer and last to benefit from any changes within your body. So what this means is that your body will only channel nutrients to your hair when there are excess nutrients left after they have been supplied to other parts of the body,” she explained.

“When you skip breakfast and are active in the morning, your body is drawing from its remaining reserve of nutrients from the last meal you had yesterday. This means that your hair is unlikely to be ‘given’ much of them because the reserve has yet to be replenished. In the long run, your hair will be deprived of nutrients and it will likely become weak and not as thick as it should be,” she said.

Weakened hair is a contributing factor to hair loss, and that is why you should make it a point to have that morning meal if you’d like to keep your hair healthy. On that note, Kei also pointed out that hair loss could be due to nutritional deficiencies – most commonly in vitamin D and iron, which are essential to hair-growth processes within the scalp. In other words, eating healthfully will benefit you not just on the inside but outside as well.
