A major reason of hair loss and weak hair is unhealthy diet.
Just like other parts of the body when hair does not get proper amount of
nutrition, it tends to get weak and starts falling. Once you face such problem,
the first thing to do is to check your daily diet chart. Evaluating your diet
you can understand whether some kind of nutrient is in excess in the diet or
something is lacking. In most of the cases it is the intake of junk food in
excess and a lack of fresh, green, healthy food that causes problems.
Therefore, what is most important for healthy hair is a balanced diet with
balanced amount of nutrients.
Healthy hair requires proper amount of water, protein, vitamins
and minerals. To remove toxins from our body and to keep your hair hydrated, we
must drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day. It is important to stop
consuming junk food and add fatty acids to the daily diet. The fishes like
tuna, trout, mackerel, sardines, herrings and salmon are full of fatty acids as
well as vitamin B-12 and iron. Apart from these, olives, nuts, avocadoes and
seeds are also good source of fatty acids. For healthy hair, flaxseeds and
pumpkin work wonder.
For healthy hair the green vegetables are very vital. Green
vegetables like spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard and add a lot of iron, vitamin A
and C in your diet. Beans are excellent source of protein, iron, zinc and
biotin. Being rich in zinc, nuts are also great for your hair. Proteins and
vitamins are important for hair growth and therefore, you need to have poultry
eggs, oysters and whole grains.
For shiny, healthy and lustrous hair that bounces with life,
some excellent foods are Whole Grains, Dark Chocolate, Milk, Oysters, Sweet
Potatoes, Bacon, Red Meat, Carrots, Yogurt, Blueberries, Salmon, Kiwis,
Tomatoes, Red Wine and Nuts.
