As per ANI, a healthy gut helps the body absorb essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, biotin, and protein, all critical for healthy hair growth. 

An imbalance in gut bacteria can trigger chronic inflammation throughout the body. Researchers believe this inflammation may affect the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding. 

The gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis. Poor gut health has been linked to higher stress levels, which can contribute to seasonal hair loss. 

Around 70% of the immune system is associated with the gut. A healthy digestive system supports immune function, reducing the risk of immune-related factors that can disrupt normal hair growth.

Foods such as yoghurt, kimchi, and fermented vegetables help promote beneficial gut bacteria. 

Combined with a balanced diet rich in fibre, fruits, and vegetables, these foods may create a healthier environment for both digestion and hair growth.
