Fasting has a positive impact on the health of the hair
Brazilian experts from the Institute of chemistry of the University of são Paulo found that abstaining from food causes intensive hair growth.
This discovery was made during experiments with rodents. The researchers monitored two groups of mice. The first group is severely limited in food, entering in a mode of partial starvation. The second group ate normally.
For the six months mice ate 60% of their standard portions, began to weigh two times less. Simultaneously, they have increased the density hairline, hair length and three times the increase in the number of blood vessels. This allowed us to bring more heat to the skin surface. Skin cells showed changes in metabolism, allowing to reduce energy losses in the form of heat.
According to the researchers, the recorded changes were the result of adaptation of the mice to the new diet. In terms of reduced level of energy coming from outside the rodents began to more effectively retain heat due to a more dense hairline. If mice have limited ability to generate additional hairs artificially, the animals became more lethargic and showed signs of metabolic disorders.
