Vitamins A and P, and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) help improve blood circulation in hair capillaries. Vitamin A is contained in abundance in pumpkins, chrysanthemum leaves, spinach, small green sweet peppers shishito-garashi, and other green vegetables.
People who have accumulated enough stress to cause baldness are, as a rule, too busy to contemplate healthy diet, they have time enough only for noodles or rice curry, or even no time to eat at all. They substitute food with excessive smoking. Such health negligence only aggravates nutrition disbalance of their bodies and only accelerates baldness.
Let us look at the usual working conditions of young employees. They are always polite and attentive towards their seniors; they are the first to come to work and the last to go home. They can spare only five or six minutes on lunch, so can afford only o-bento boxes with almost no vegetables. It would be a miracle if they did not start loosing their hair.
Vitamin P is not very well known, but it is one of the few ways of stimulating blood circulation in capillaries. We can find it in citrus fruit, for instance lemons, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits, kumquats, etc. In old times housewives had to use only cold water in the kitchen, and to cure their chapped hands they would squeeze the skin of tangerines and rub the juice into the skin. Vitamin P, abundant in citrus skin, would improve the circulation of blood in their hands, helping them heal faster. Likewise, if you eat citrus skin, its effect would extend to the whole body.
Vitamin P is also contained in anzu beans, buckwheat, strawberries, cherries, and rose berries.
Blue-skin fish is rich in EPA, and as it is mostly cheap, for example, sardines, mackerel, Pacific saury, or horse mackerel, anyone can afford to buy it very fresh. I would recommend you to eat it fried or as sashimi, but strongly advise you against deep-fried fish or tempura. Excess of oil will clog blood vessels and thus lead to the exact opposite effect.
Women should be carefull not to overeat fruit, because it might cause clogging, too. For those who are not sure of their diet, it might be very effective to take some acupuncture treatment. It frequently helps revitalize hair roots. It is effective not only for young people, but also for people in their 40s and 50s. I know a company manager who enjoyed thick healthy hair growing back after three months of acupuncture.
