Beautiful hair makes us happier, more confident and of
course more attractive. Therefore, everyone dreams of having a lavish shiny
hair. But if you want to be proud of your bright and healthy hair, you should
not trust only cosmetics. What you “put”
in your mouth is as important as what you put on your hair.
Nutrition Affects Hair – as it can go worse, so it can
improve the look of your hair. Therefore, make sure to eat balanced food and
enter vitamins and minerals which stimulate growth of strong and healthy hair.
What you should eat:
– Salmon and flaxseed: Fish is indispensable if you want to
eat healthy and salmon is the best choice. This oily fish is an excellent
source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and iron. They are all “working”
together in order to give you the desired hair shine. Omega-3 fatty acids
maintain the health of your scalp. Insufficient consumption of food rich in
omega-3 fatty acids can make make your hair dry and lifeless. To avoid this,
keep including fish in your diet at least three times a week. If you are not
able to eat fish that often, flaxseeds are a good substitute, as they contain
good amount of omega-3 fatty acids.
– Veal and oysters: Veal and oysters improve the look of
your hair, because they are rich in zinc. It is well known that zinc deficiency
leads to hair loss and is believed that zinc helps fighting against premature
hair blanching. Besides beef and oysters, zinc is present in nuts (walnuts,
almonds) and lamb.
– Eggs and chicken meat: Hair is mostly composed of protein,
so it is logical that eating protein-rich food can be an effective way to
stimulate hair growth and reduce its loss. Eggs are rich in B vitamins,
especially B12 and biotin (B7). Biotin is also called vitamin H (H coming from
“Haar und Haut”, which in German means hair and skin). It is believed that the
lack of biotin causes hair loss. Chicken is an amazing source of protein that
can help you get rid of fragile hair.
– Carrots: Carrots contain vitamin A, which stimulates
creation of sebum on the scalp. Sebum allows hair retain its natural moisture
and improves the health of the scalp. High or low sebum secretion is damaging
the hair. Deficiency of vitamin A can be
manifested through the appearance of dandruff and dry hair. To avoid this,
replace unhealthy snacks with carrots.
– Lens: Maybe it sounds strange, but lens are rich in folic
acid, which improves the health of red blood cells that supply the skin and
scalp with necessary oxygen. Folic acid is also important for cells recovery,
so it is important for hair growth.
-Walnuts and almonds: Walnuts and almonds, and other nuts
contain omega-3 fatty acids (which act as hair re-generator) and zinc (which
prevents hair loss). Besides walnuts and almonds, do not miss to include
Brazilian walnuts in your snacks.
