Best foods to eat for healthy hair growth

July 13, 2009

healthyfoodWhat would you do to keep your hair healthy? Apply good shampoo and conditioner, go for hair treatments, follow all the hair care tips you can find. But none of this will help if you do not have a balanced diet.

To have a healthy growth of hair, you need to have the right food that will stimulate the hair growth.

Some things that you have to include in your meals are fish, green vegetables, nuts, beans, eggs, and milk. At the same time, drink lot of water.
When it comes to fish, I would recommend salmon.

This fish contains ample protein, an important factor that stimulates hair growth. Along with protein, this fish also has a good amount of fatty acid as well as omega 3.

Not only that, salmon is an excellent source of both iron and Vitamin B12. These two components keep the scalp healthy. And for hair growth, a healthy scalp is a must.

Now we all know that the best source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C is green vegetables. Both these vitamins are important to keep the body healthy and build a strong immune system. And without a healthy body, you cannot have healthy hair.

Next in line are beans. They contain ample protein, iron, biotin, and calcium. Add these small things to your meals and see the difference in your hair.

For a healthy scalp, nuts are a must. Nuts are rich in selenium that makes the scalp healthy. Cashew nuts, walnuts, pecans, and especially almonds, all of these are very healthy. So choose the one you like and add them to your daily meal.

I have already mentioned that protein is very important to have healthy hair. Other than fish and beans, you have to make sure you get a good amount of protein from poultry such as eggs and chicken.

But in this case, you have to be very careful about how you cook it. Do not go for the deep fried stuff such as fried chicken or barbecue. Instead, go for something that is either steamed or baked.

Last but not the least; do not forget about dairy, that is milk. They are not just good for the bones, but for hair as well. Studies show that cow’s milk prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth.

Now that you know what to eat, so change your eating habits, eat healthy, and enjoy the benefits of a balanced diet — healthy hair.
