It highlights that a healthy diet should include the right proportions of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) and adequate micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) to support the body's energy needs and physiological functions. For individuals experiencing hair loss, it is recommended to assess their medical and dietary history and conduct physical examinations to identify potential nutritional deficiencies, which should be addressed and corrected if found.
