10 Things Every Man Can Do To Avoid Going Bald

5. Avoid Foods That Cause Thinning Hair

Eating highly inflammatory foods such as dairy, gluten, corn, soy, food additives and colorings, and preservatives have been shown to be counterproductive to hair growth. Stay away from foods containing trans fatty acids such as vegetable, corn and soybean oil, as well as processed foods, refined sugar, alcohol, and caffeine. Too much caffeine has been shown to reduce levels of hormones needed to support hair growth. It can also lead to dehydration, which impacts hair health. Replace as many processed or packaged foods for fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible to send hair a boost of vitamins needed to grow.
