This talk matters to me bc having SLE Lupus, hair thinning is an issue. It’s good to know that we have stem cells that can create a new follicle where the original one stopped working.
Dr discusses here, some foods to activate stem cells for possibly new hair growth:
1. Water, tea, & coffee (without dairy)
2. Tomatoes, lightly cooked with:
3. Extra virgin olive oil
3. Sulforaphanes (raw to lightly cooked): broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower etc.
4. Beta D Glucan foods: Mushrooms, oats, barley, etc.: these contain beta d glucan which may help hair growth.
5. Ursolic Acid Foods: boosts stem cells which may grow new hair & skin (unless it’s scarred): Apples especially the skin, for example.
