Because it’s snowing on the shirt

Dandruff is a very annoying scalp disorder that is harmful to hair health; both dry and oily, it looks like a real scalp disease, and can also cause psychological discomfort. Itching and burning are often consequences of the formation of dandruff, as well as the weakening and loss of hair .

But what is the cause of this disorder? In essence, this is the normal loss of dead scalp cells , which, in conditions of healthy skin, occurs through the production of an almost impalpable powder. When this process occurs too quickly, the cells break apart in visible groups, giving rise to the unsightly phenomenon of dandruff.

The presence of dandruff can be caused by various factors related to nutrition , fat metabolism , possible digestive problems and, last but not least , psychological or stress problems. But let’s see all the natural remedies recommended for the treatment of this ailment.

Defeating dandruff from the inside …

To act internally and fight dandruff, it is first of all important to eat healthily . This means consuming lots of fruit and vegetables, rich in vitamins, and avoiding fatty foods, such as cheeses that are not low-fat, and heavy.

To these it is better to prefer organically grown foods and products, use honey and natural sweeteners instead of refined sugars, choose fresh and unpackaged products, full of hydrogenated fats. It is also necessary to limit the consumption of alcohol and coffee, preferring green tea , rich in natural antioxidants, excellent for combating it.

Another tip is to take foods rich in iron , such as nuts (plums, peanuts, hazelnuts, figs and almonds) and legumes (beans and lentils are among the richest in iron).
