Healthy Eating for Healthy Hair Growth from Essential Foods
Healthy hair growth is full of keratin. Make sure your body receives and produces keratin naturally by healthy eating: protein-rich foods like nuts, seeds, low fat dairy products, lean meats, fish and egg whites.
Healthy hair growth needs essential fatty acids such as omega-3 found in fatty fish like salmon. However, other healthy foods rich in omega-3 include flaxseeds, walnuts, winter squash, beans and olive oil.
Healthy hair growth requires a good supply of B-complex vitamins (that include folic acid, biotin, vitamin B-12), Vitamin A sources, zinc and copper for nourishment of a healthy scalp. Eat healthy foods containing these essential nutrients and you’ll say “farewell” to dry, brittle hair. Therefore, eat more of the following:
