Attention beautiful! A healthy diet can promote healthy hair.
Here are 5 foods to help you on your hair journey:
Eggs
Eggs contain protein which is a vital contributor to hair health, biotin which is an essential vitamin for hair growth, and other effective nutrients such as zinc and vitamin B12.
Spinach
As a child, I hated spinach. As an adult I have learned about its vital role in health and hair growth. Spinach is made up of iron (essential for adequate blood circulation to the scalp), Vitamin A (in moderation can promote hair growth), Vitamin C (boosts collagen production which helps to strengthen hair strands), and folate assists in the formulation of healthy cells).
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes were my child’s favorite meal when foods were introduced. Why you may ask? It is nature’s dessert. Not only is it a naturally sweet treat, it is a great source of beta-carotene that the body uses to create Vitamin A. Vitamin A acts a regulator for preserving healthy sebum production on the scalp which keeps hait a moisturized. Remember moderation is key to promote healthy hair growth.
Avocado
Avocados are rich in healthy fats that support digestion of vitamins essential for hair growth such as vitamins A, D, and E. Avocados also contain biotin, which may promote hair growth in those who have a biotin deficiency.
Nuts
Nuts, specifically almond, Brazil nuts, and walnuts, contain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, zinc, and selenium. These elements support healthy hair, with Zinc and selenium specifically playing an essential role in reducing obsesseive hair shedding.
Adding these foods into your diet can help promote healthy hair growth and combat hair loss. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any drastic changes to your diet.
