Top 6 Foods to Block DHT and Prevent Hair Loss!
Top 6 Foods to Block DHT and Prevent Hair Loss.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone similar to testosterone, which helps grow body hair during puberty. However, high DHT levels can cause hair loss. Your body converts about 10% of testosterone into DHT with the help of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Some foods might block this enzyme, reducing DHT and potentially preventing hair loss. Here are six such foods.

00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Top 6 Foods to Block DHT and Prevent Hair Loss.
00:15Dihydrotestosterone, DHT, is a hormone similar to testosterone,
00:19which helps grow body hair during puberty. However, high DHT levels can cause hair loss.
00:24Your body converts about 10% of testosterone into DHT with the help of an enzyme called
00:295-alpha reductase. Some foods might block this enzyme, reducing DHT and potentially
00:34preventing hair loss. Here are 6 such foods.
00:371. Green tea, made from Camellia sinensis leaves, green tea is popular worldwide.
00:42It contains epigallocatechin gallate E G C G, which may protect hair follicles,
00:46stimulate hair growth, boost the immune system, and prevent hair cell death.
00:50While promising, more research is needed.
00:532. Coconut oil, extracted from coconut meat, coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides,
00:59mainly lauric acid, which may block DHT production in lab studies.
01:03However, more human studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.
01:063. Onions and quercetin-rich foods.
01:09Onions are low in calories but high in antioxidants, particularly quercetin.
01:13Quercetin might inhibit DHT production and reduce oxidative stress.
01:17Other quercetin-rich foods include asparagus, spinach, kale, apples, and berries.
01:22More research is needed to confirm these effects in humans.
01:254. Turmeric.
01:26Turmeric, known for its health benefits, contains curcumin,
01:29which may lower DHT by blocking 5-alpha reductase.
01:33However, more human studies are required to confirm its role in treating hair loss.
01:375. Pumpkin seeds.
01:39Pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium.
01:43A study showed that pumpkin seed oil might prevent hair loss and promote hair growth,
01:47but more research is necessary.
01:496. Edamame.
01:50Edamame beans contain isoflavones, which may lower DHT levels.
01:54A study found that soy protein, with or without isoflavones,
01:57reduced DHT levels more than milk protein.
02:00Further research is needed to understand its impact on hair loss.
02:04Some research suggests blocking DHT may help regrow hair, but more studies are needed.
02:08While limited research exists, egg yolks, rich in biotin, might help with hair growth.
02:13If you're experiencing hair loss, consult a healthcare professional to find the right
02:17treatment, which may include vitamins, natural remedies, laser therapy, topical medications
02:22like minoxidil, finasteride, and corticosteroids, injections, or hair transplant surgery.
02:28Finasteride propicia is a commonly prescribed medication for reducing DHT to treat hair loss.
