Hair is considered the crown of beauty for every woman. Hair shedding and loss is a problem that today affects not only women but also men. Fortunately there is a solution to avert this problem. You will find it in your kitchen. Just reach for the right foods and before long you will be able to boast a beautiful mane again. Of course, sometimes hair loss indicates a serious health problem (e.g. improper thyroid function), in which case you should consult a doctor.
1. Leafy greens
An excellent source of the necessary vitamins A and C are especially spinach, chard and broccoli. They help produce sebum, which naturally keeps hair healthy. All types of dark leafy greens contain plenty of iron and calcium, which are also important for hair.
2. Legumes
Garden beans, as well as various types of lentils, are important for hair nutrition because they contain a lot of iron, zinc and biotin, which the body needs for better hair growth. They also include proteins that speed up the repair of damaged hair.
3. Raisins
Raisins contain iron, which helps the production of hemoglobin that carries oxygen throughout the body. They provide needed iron, but it is important to supplement vitamin C as well, which helps the body absorb it. Corn and dates will do you just as good a service.
4. Salmon
Salmon has all the beneficial substances for beauty and improving overall hair health. It contains omega-3 fatty acids, which can fight hair loss, dryness, frizziness, scalp rashes and also give hair elasticity and shine. Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are also sardines, mackerel, flax seeds, herring and walnuts.
5. Lean dark meat
Iron deficiency can also cause hair loss. Dark meat is a source of nutrients such as iron, which directly affects blood production, and vitamin B. Meat such as turkey is also suitable.
6. Eggs
The body nourishes hair using a natural conditioner — biotin. Eggs are full of this substance, which is important for hair growth and also reduces hair shedding. Sources of biotin also include peanuts, salmon, almonds and avocado.
7. Vegetable oil
A low-fat diet can cause hair to become dry and can also strip it of shine. Olive, peanut and sunflower oil can restore shine to your hair. Use one teaspoon of these oils 1 to 2 times a day, either alone or with food.
