TLDR Improper diet, lifestyle, and stress are major causes of hair fall.
The study by Khushboo Pandey and Sanjay Srivastava involving 50 patients identifies that improper diet and lifestyle are major contributors to Khalitya (hair fall). Key dietary factors include excessive consumption of junk food, salt, and incompatible food combinations like milk with salt. Lifestyle factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, excessive mobile use, irregular sleep patterns, and lack of proper hair care also play significant roles. Psychological stress, anger, and anxiety were additional contributing factors. The study emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and proper hair care, to mitigate hair fall.
