| Abstract | ||||
| A significant number of individuals desire strong and healthy hair, particularly as they age. The rate of hair growth is detected by genetic factors, age, gender, and hormonal levels. Nutrient shortage, such as anorexia, anemia, or zinc deficiency, & hormonal imbalances, for example menopause, thyroid illness, or polycystic ovaries, can cause a reduction in it. A healthy diet is characterized by the consumption of macronutrients in optimal proportions to meet the body's energy and physiological requirements, without excessive intake. It should also provide adequate micronutrients & hydration to fulfill the body's physiological needs. Macronutrients, such as carbs, proteins, & lipids, supply the energy needed for the cellular functions essential for daily functioning. Micronutrients, such as minerals & vitamins, are necessary in relatively small quantities for regular development, metabolism, growth, & physiological functioning. Cases having hair loss should undergo screening through medical history, food history, & physical examination to identify potential risk factors for nutritional insufficiency. If necessary, laboratory tests may be conducted. It is evident that cases with dietary inadequacies should address & correct those deficiencies.
