Top 6 Foods to Block DHT and Prevent Hair Loss.  Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone similar to testosterone, which helps grow body hair during puberty. However, high DHT levels can cause hair loss. Your body converts about 10% of testosterone into DHT with the help of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Some foods might block this enzyme, reducing DHT and potentially preventing hair loss. Here are six such foods.   References: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/dht-blocker-foods

00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, Top 6 Foods to Block DHT and Prevent Hair Loss.

00:15Dihydrotestosterone, DHT, is a hormone similar to testosterone,

00:19which helps grow body hair during puberty. However, high DHT levels can cause hair loss.

00:24Your body converts about 10% of testosterone into DHT with the help of an enzyme called

00:295-alpha reductase. Some foods might block this enzyme, reducing DHT and potentially

00:34preventing hair loss. Here are 6 such foods.

00:371. Green tea, made from Camellia sinensis leaves, green tea is popular worldwide.

00:42It contains epigallocatechin gallate E G C G, which may protect hair follicles,

00:46stimulate hair growth, boost the immune system, and prevent hair cell death.

00:50While promising, more research is needed.

00:532. Coconut oil, extracted from coconut meat, coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides,

00:59mainly lauric acid, which may block DHT production in lab studies.

01:03However, more human studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

01:063. Onions and quercetin-rich foods.

01:09Onions are low in calories but high in antioxidants, particularly quercetin.

01:13Quercetin might inhibit DHT production and reduce oxidative stress.

01:17Other quercetin-rich foods include asparagus, spinach, kale, apples, and berries.

01:22More research is needed to confirm these effects in humans.

01:254. Turmeric.

01:26Turmeric, known for its health benefits, contains curcumin,

01:29which may lower DHT by blocking 5-alpha reductase.

01:33However, more human studies are required to confirm its role in treating hair loss.

01:375. Pumpkin seeds.

01:39Pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium.

01:43A study showed that pumpkin seed oil might prevent hair loss and promote hair growth,

01:47but more research is necessary.

01:496. Edamame.

01:50Edamame beans contain isoflavones, which may lower DHT levels.

01:54A study found that soy protein, with or without isoflavones,

01:57reduced DHT levels more than milk protein.

02:00Further research is needed to understand its impact on hair loss.

02:04Some research suggests blocking DHT may help regrow hair, but more studies are needed.

02:08While limited research exists, egg yolks, rich in biotin, might help with hair growth.

02:13If you're experiencing hair loss, consult a healthcare professional to find the right

02:17treatment, which may include vitamins, natural remedies, laser therapy, topical medications

02:22like minoxidil, finasteride, and corticosteroids, injections, or hair transplant surgery.

02:28Finasteride propicia is a commonly prescribed medication for reducing DHT to treat hair loss.
