Intermittent fasting may have a negative impact on hair regeneration – opinion

Some people try various ways to speed up hair growth and turn it into a full mane.

A recent study found that intermittent fasting, although it has metabolic benefits, may have a negative impact on hair regeneration. Oxidative stress during fasting prevents hair follicle stem cells from adapting to changes and can lead to slower hair growth. Scientists also found that time-restricted eating could reduce the rate of hair growth in people by 18% over 10 days.

These results highlight the importance of further research to understand the effects of intermittent fasting on the body and stem cell health.

The team of scientists also plans to study its effect on wound healing and tissue regeneration.
