Pumpkin seeds for hair loss

Pumpkin seeds are rich in abundant elements, including protein and vitamins. You can eat them by frying them in a pan until the outside turns golden brown. They are not only delicious but also can reduce hair loss. Especially nowadays, many men begin to experience hair loss when they reach middle age, so they start to eat a variety of foods to regulate their hair. At this time, it is best to eat some pumpkin seeds.

Scientists divided 76 patients with male pattern baldness into two groups, one group took 400 mg of pumpkin seed oil per day, and the other group took a placebo per day. After 24 weeks of treatment, patients taking pumpkin seed oil had an average 40% increase in hair, while the control group only had a 10% increase.

The reason is that taking pumpkin seed oil can reduce the activity of 5α-reductase in the human body. When the activity of 5α-reductase is reduced, it can prevent the male hormone testosterone (T) in the male body from being converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), thereby reducing the damage of DHT to sensitive male hair follicles and helping to alleviate the hair loss symptoms of patients with male pattern baldness.

In addition, the fatty oil contained in pumpkin seeds can also help men prevent and treat prostate diseases! Lastly, pumpkin seeds are rich in protein, which can help you build strong hair.

It turns out that the plain-looking pumpkin seeds are so useful~ From today on, include eating a handful of pumpkin seeds every day in your "anti-weight loss plan"! Of course, don’t forget to continue taking oral anti-hair loss medications!
