Naked pate? Check your plate. According to Cleveland Clinic researchers, low iron intake may lead to male-pattern baldness.
They reviewed 11 studies on the relationship between iron levels and balding and determined that treating men for iron defi ciency may help regrow their hair.
“Cells use iron to turn food into energy, and it takes a lot of energy to grow hair,” say the study authors. Take an iron test; if you score below 41 nanograms per millilitre, eat more turkey, spinach and kiwi fruit. NB: Iron pills are risky, as megadoses can cause organ damage.
