Rethinking the Preventive Effect of Hair Loss in Environmental and Food Factors

The paper discusses the increasing prevalence of hair loss across all age groups and genders, attributing it to genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and dietary factors. It highlights the potential benefits of black soybeans (Phaseolus vulgaris) and white ferula mushroom (Pleurotus nebrodensis) in preventing hair loss due to their rich estrogen content, antioxidant properties, and high protein content. The authors suggest incorporating these foods into regular diets to leverage their health benefits and emphasize the need for ongoing research to identify more food ingredients that can aid in hair loss prevention. The study underscores the importance of promoting effective dietary ingredients as functional health foods to combat hair loss.
