From H2O to Leafy Greens: What You Need to Boost Hair Health
by April Maguire
From suffering high stress levels to not getting enough sleep, there are various factors that can affect your hair’s health and appearance. While many of these influences are difficult to control, one easy way to boost hair strength is to improve the overall quality of your diet. Incorporate the following foods into your meal plan this month and watch your mane reap the benefits:
Veggies
Avoid leafy green veggies like the plague? If so, you may be harming your hair’s health and appearance. Dark veggies are packed with essential vitamins A and C, which enable your body to generate the natural conditioner known as sebum. Add a handful of spinach to your next salad and enjoy improved hair body and shine.
Salmon
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is a delicious fish that packs a strong nutritional punch. However, this healthy protein is also great for your hair and skin. In fact, fatty acids are crucial to keeping your hair shafts healthy and strong and your scalp appropriately hydrated.
Eggs
A great source of protein, eggs also contain zinc, selenium, sulfur and iron. Along with helping hair grow long and strong, these essential minerals may aid in hair loss prevention. In fact, a lack of iron in one’s diet has been linked with hair loss in women. As an added bonus, you can enjoy eggs in a variety of styles such as scrambled, hard-boiled, and over easy, based on your preferences!
Yogurt
You probably know that Greek yogurt offers a number of benefits for your digestive health in addition to being a good source of lean protein. However, you may not realize that yogurt is also valuable for boosting hair health. According to new research, the vitamin D and B5 in your average tub of yogurt can do a great deal to improve follicle health.
Water
We all know how important it is to stay hydrated. Along with boosting overall health, drinking plenty of water has been associated with hair growth and luster. For best results, aim to drink 8, 8-ounce glasses of water on a daily basis.
If you’ve ever suffered from thin or breaking hair, then you know how frustrating the situation can be. In fact, many people experience a blow to their self-esteem and confidence due to hair loss. Follow the above tips to achieve stronger, healthier and, ultimately, more beautiful hair for the long haul.
