Since your telogen effluvium was nutrition-related, the focus should be on correcting deficiencies, improving overall calorie intake, and supporting hair follicle recovery while promoting healthy weight gain. A balanced, nutrient-dense diet will help reduce hair fall, strengthen regrowth, and support gradual weight gain.
Dietary Pointers for Hair Health & Weight Gain:
- Include adequate protein at every meal (dal, paneer/curd, tofu, soy, milk, nuts and seeds, eggs, lean chicken and fish) to support hair structure.
- Add complex carbohydrates like whole wheat roti, rice, millets, oats, and potatoes for energy and weight gain.
- Include healthy fats such as ghee, cold-pressed oils, nuts, seeds, and nut butters to increase calories and support hormone balance.
- Focus on micronutrients critical for hair like iron, zinc, biotin,
vitamin B12,
vitamin D, and omega-3 fats through food sources.
- Eat fruits and vegetables daily, especially leafy greens, seasonal fruits, and vitamin-C-rich foods to improve iron absorption.
