After hair transplantation, taking care of yourself, including eating the right foods, is very important because it affects wound healing and new hair growth. Here are some foods to avoid after hair transplantation:
1. Inflammatory foods
Certain foods can increase inflammation in the body, which can slow down wound healing:
Fried foods, such as French fries and fried chicken
Processed foods, such as sausages, ham, bacon
Desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and high-sugar chocolate
Sugar-rich drinks, such as soft drinks and sweet drinks
2. Foods high in sodium
Too much sodium can cause swelling and increase the risk of inflammation:
Processed foods, such as instant noodles, canned foods
Pickled foods, such as fermented fish, pickled vegetables
3. Foods high in saturated fat
Saturated fat can negatively affect blood circulation and reduce the delivery of nutrients to the hair roots:
Fatty meats
High-fat dairy products, such as cheese and butter
4. Alcohol
Alcohol can interfere with the absorption of nutrients necessary for hair recovery and reduce blood circulation, which affects the growth of new hair roots.
5. Foods at risk of infection
After hair transplantation, the immune system may still be weak. Eating unclean or raw foods may increase the risk:
Raw foods such as sashimi, raw fish
Semi-cooked foods such as raw steak, soft-boiled eggs
Foods to focus on after hair transplantation
On the other hand, you should choose foods that help accelerate recovery, such as:
High protein: chicken, fish, eggs, nuts
Fresh fruits and vegetables: for vitamin C and antioxidants
Good fats: olive oil, avocado
Water: Drink enough water to help stimulate blood circulation
