Healthy hair is more than just what it looks like. Hair health is directly dependent on our nutrition. After all, the hair also needs to be "fed". A healthy lifestyle promotes hair growth and strength, and the following foods are particularly well suited to their needs.
Instructions
Step 1
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that help grow long, luxurious hair. The body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids on its own, so they must be ingested with food. Three percent of hair is made up of Omega-3 fatty acids, which nourish hair follicles and cell membranes, leading to healthy hair growth.
Step 2
You probably often see biotin supplements in pharmacies labeled as hair loss remedies. Biotin (Vitamin H) is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that improves hair and scalp health. It produces keratin, which makes hair shiny, silky and protected from environmental influences. Sources of biotin include oatmeal, beef liver, yeast, cauliflower, nuts, spinach, boiled eggs (especially the yolk), tomatoes, oranges, apples, melons, corn, and beets.
Step 3
Iron is essential for hair growth. Researchers have noted a link between iron deficiency and hair loss. Green leafy vegetables are rich in iron. And the greener the better.
Step 4
Hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, can lead to thinning hair. Iodine is needed to maintain healthy thyroid function. Foods rich in iodine include seaweed, eggs, meat, milk, butter, grains, garlic, and spinach.
Step 5
Vitamins A and C help hair follicles produce sebum, which acts as a natural conditioner. Spinach, broccoli, and kale are excellent sources of these vitamins. Vitamin A is also essential for maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes.
Step 6
Hair needs a lot of protein to grow. Beans, lentils, and other legumes are excellent sources of protein, iron, and zinc.
Step 7
And for external use, rosemary oil is perfect, which improves blood circulation. It also stimulates hair growth. Just add a few drops of rosemary essential oil to your shampoo or conditioner.
