Intermittent Fasting May Hinder Hair Growth, Study Finds
A new study published in the journal Cell suggests that intermittent fasting may slow hair growth, as observed in both human and animal models. The research indicates that hair follicle stem cells may struggle with oxidative stress during fasting, leading to slower hair regrowth. While intermittent fasting is popular for its health benefits, such as weight loss, experts advise being aware of potential side effects like reduced hair growth. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms and explore dietary modifications to mitigate these effects.
