Ce mănânci poate influența calitatea și cantitatea sebumului. 👨🏼⚕️☝🏻

In this short panel conversation, Mihail Pautov and two experts discuss how lifestyle factors affect sebum production and its properties, which in turn impact scalp and skin health. They explain that consuming high‑glycemic foods and excessive fats, especially ultra‑processed snacks and fast‑food items, triggers a strong insulin response that markedly increases sebum secretion. Stress and lack of sleep degrade sebum quality, making it thicker and more occlusive, which hampers skin breathing and promotes irritation. The experts note that this altered sebum creates an environment for the scalp fungus (Malassezia) to thrive, leading it to produce pro‑inflammatory metabolites that indirectly cause dandruff, acne, and folliculitis on the scalp. The discussion emphasizes the link between diet, metabolic and hormonal responses, and microbial activity in driving common scalp problems.
