4:48 Top Foods to prevent hair loss
In this video, we're going to talk about the importance of histidine in helping to prevent hair loss and what foods you should incorporate into your diet to support healthy hair.
A study has shown that over 90 percent of people suffering from alopecia are deficient in an amino acid called histidine. This essential amino acid is a precursor to histamine, which plays a vital role in immune reactions, allergies, and inflammation.
Deficiencies in histidine can lead to anemia, while excessive intake can cause premature ejaculation. However, the right amount of histidine in your diet can promote healthy hair growth by helping to produce keratin and regulating copper and zinc levels.
Certain medications and alcohol consumption may lower histidine levels in the body, while inadequate stomach acid can hinder its absorption from food sources. To counter this issue, betaine hydrochloride can be taken as an acidifier.
But to fully utilize histidine, specific co-factors must be present, such as vitamin B6, proper copper and zinc ratios, and folate.
The top three foods that can help combat hair loss are:
1. Organ meats, including liver, due to the histidine and other essential nutrients they contain.
2. Animal proteins, such as beef and chicken, are rich in histidine and other amino acids necessary for hair regeneration.
3. Shellfish, particularly shrimp, scallops, and crabs, provide high levels of zinc and copper that can help maintain proper ratios in the body.
It's important to note that having enough folate in your diet is essential for hair development. It's best to obtain folate from natural sources, as taking supplements such as folic acid may inhibit the conversion of histidine into its active form.

This makes sense as someone I know suffers with hair loss but also gets eczema
Toxins in the food your friend is consuming
for me
Thanks for sharing , Doctor 🥰
This is amazing! Never been the overzealous kind, but Healthy Keto has helped me so much! From being introverted to having outbursts of singing out loud in public! 😂 I sure hope I’m not misunderstood for being insouciant in stressful situations. I just feel so great! Have a wonderful day, everyone! 🙂
Haha! 😆
You go on singing, friend, because life is richer and worth the living with a healthy bod, and a happy soul! Shalom! 💖💜💙🕊💙💜✡️✝️💜💙🕊💙💜💖
I love this video. Prolonged fasting is amazing but make sure your body isn’t rejecting it with hair loss or mood. You should feel good and look healthy
Smart.
I had a problem with a 3 day fast and I was using lemon water and electrolites. Came to the conclusion that my body needs some protein and some oil (like olive oil or mct) every day.
You dont fast with lemon water it has small amounts of calories and is acidic so it tells your body that food is coming. Not a true fast electrolytes should be fine, but try again without lemon water it will be better. With lemon water your teeth will feel weak and you will feel lethargic and achy joints. You don’t need oil and protein every day. People need to fast. I would do a dry fast but that’s up to You
Lemon water? Why?
Fasting with saltwater instead is best. Of course, use pure salt and don’t drink it in every single glass of water, but it’s good for keeping your energy and electrolytes up.
I have had thinning and also the eczema and digestive issues. Yet immune is good as I almost never get sick. I do eat veggies probably not enough meat. I think it’s on the right track and closing in on real solutions. Thanks
Dr. Berg never fails to give us the keys. It’s up to everyone of us to open the doors. I have learned so much over the years from Dr Berg and feel empowered and confident with my health. Cheers👍✌️
I find him wishy washy! You’re better off following Dr Ken Berry, Dr Anthony Chaffee and Dr Eric Westman! Real Doctors!!
Kingdom Hearts : Cosmos unlocked
I’m going through a horrible bout of post partum hair loss. I hope this helps. Thanks Dr.
Thanks again Dr. Berg for your great and beneficial info. Some think that most of the comments are paid by you, which is so silly. I have never once been paid for any of my comments on your videos. I will say that following your remedies and advice is payment enough for me. I think “most” of us can agree to that, or we all wouldn’t be subscribed to your channel. 💜💙❤️
Here’s another tidbit: with the pharmaceutical companies heavy marketing of antihistamines this could definitely be a part of the problem since it blocks histidine from working. It won’t help one bit to eat foods or take a supplement for histidine if you’re taking a drug to block it.
Does Montelukast + Levocetirizine cause hairloss ?
@@lil_per_vertmontelukast only affects LTRA and IgE. No action on actual histamine response.
@@lil_per_vert idk 🤷♂️ sorry
Good question. I’m on Montelukast and Hydroxyzine.
I’ve been taking 48 milligrams of betahistine dihydrochlorine for 14 years everyday it’s a drug that stops the body producing histamine in the ear it’s for menieres disease I am 62 and have a thick full head of hair .
I take Finasteride and minoxidil to counter hair loss. Together with biotin. Will look at copper and zinc to add to my stack
Cool pharmaceutical drugs. .. ( sarcasm)

Thank you
Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you
That’s me all day!
No wonder I look better than 99% of the population…….even at 49. 😂
Love how insightful and straight on point your content is. While I was on ultra processed/junk foods I often had dermatitis and hair loss, now on Keto and good habits my health has improved with better skin, hair and feeling great. Thank you, Dr Berg 🌞💕
Marie is a flower
I look awesome in my shaved head and are thus glad for my initial hair loss!
Increasing my protein intake is causing my hair to grow back. Due to 30 years of dieting, it turns out that I had been depriving my body of sufficient protein for a very, very long time. Even Rogaine only helped a little, but tripling my protein intake since last summer is not only restoring my hair on top, but my hairline is coming forward, too. A quarter of an inch so far. I know, because I have a little birthmark that was exposed and now it’s covered up by hair again. Also, my resting heart rate is down by 30 beats/minute. That one floored me. Without any extra exercise, mind you.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience here.
how much is one of your serving before triple?
Hey Doc, a few months ago I began losing my hair. I mean like (gulp) big chunks of hair. I freaked out as I’ve always had beautiful, thick glossy hair. I upped my biotin & vitamin D dose. Began taking silica, protein powder and collagen & voila… my hair is no longer falling out‼️ In fact the shedding is now less than it’s ever been. Neither is it breaking. It pays dividends to listen to hair videos & get onto it ASAP. Thanks for another informative video. 👏👏
I had a problem with a 3 day fast. Still working on recuperating.
I was using lemon water and trace minerals during the 3 day fast. So I concluded that I need oils (like olive and mct) and proteins (possibly collagen) , every day.
Will add the silica, and B complex. My medical Dr suggested large doses of D³, but it wasn’t enough.
Thanks for the suggestions.
@@andreadamascceno2139Take silica on an empty stomach. My fingernails are the strongest & longest they’ve been in years. In fact, my grand daughter is in awe of my finger nails. It takes a couple of months to take effect, but stick with it. 👏👌🏻
Hmmm, I wonder if there’s actually a food that contains all those pills and supplements?
Thank you for this advice, also for your advice about onions! Thank you always for your brilliant work and wisdom!
I’ve been about 99% carnivore for 9 months and my hair has almost doubled in thickness and grown about 6 inches. I have had bone broth nearly daily as well.
Do you mind telling me what a day of eating typically looks like? Also, do you do intermittent fasting?
@@truthbeliever9530📌
Eu também estou na dieta carnívora, consumo caldo de ovos em tudo, e faço jejum intermitente todos os dias de 19h. Faço até mousse de chocolate com caldo de ossos, que fica simplesmente perfeito.
usually i am lunch in the restaurant, i prefer seafood rather than meat. I do know they have the most powerful natural sources of zinc. thank u doctor~
