Is food really important to keep our hair healthy all the time without using enhancing chemicals available now? I believe it contributes to it, big time. I want to keep my hair healthy and shiny at all times so these factors can help you and me to do that.
RealAge's 8 tips to shinier, healthier hair:
-Eat more salmon. Or more nuts "Omega-3 rich foods like salmon and sardines help seal in shine," say RealAge experts Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen, MDs. Capsules of distilled fish oil or DHA supplements will work, too. You can also get omega-3 essential fatty acids in seeds (especially flaxseed) and nuts (especially walnuts). Yes! Nuts without guilt!
-Think "B " As in beans, bran, Brazil nuts, and vitamin B, a must for hair that the first two foods are full of. Vitamin B may slow hair loss and promote hair growth, according to Roizen and Oz. [Other B-rich victuals include peas, carrots, cauliflower, soybeans, nuts, and eggs.]
-Dip into the guacamole Avocados (and avocado oil) may prevent some funky stuff, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which kills hair follicles, from getting where it wants to go.
-Say no to animal fat -and red meat, if you're losing hair. They can lead to more DHT production and hair-follicle damage.
-Be sure you're getting enough iron Thinning hair may be a sign of iron deficiency. Be sure to eat plenty of iron-rich foods such as eggs, legumes, wholegrain cereals, dried fruits, and green, leafy vegetables.
-Healthy protein Why? By body standards, hair cells grow super-fast, and the #1 hair nutrient is protein. So all that protein-rich fish is perfect for healthy growth and shine. But there are other healthy sources: egg whites, nuts, beans, lean poultry, beans, and small amounts of very lean red meat.
Hmmm, I love salmon but don't get as often because, first it's expensive and second there are other good fish to eat as well! So have fun and just follow some simple steps that you could find HERE.
