Foods that help with hair growth
People say that you always want what you don't have. It is the same when it comes to hair. Between the perms, chemical straightens, hair dyes and hair cuts only one thing stays the same - the desire to have healthy hair that grows quickly.
We believe to maximise the results of hairburst, you must eat correctly too.
If you are having problems with hair loss, introduce these foods into your diet:
#1 Red Meat - Lean red meat is one of the best foods to help prevent hair loss. The iron in red meat helps other nutrients get absorbed more easily by the hair follicles. Red meat also contains sulphur, which increases blood flow to the scalp which in turn will promote hair growth.
#2 Eggs - Eggs contain lots of B 12 vitamins and proteins that penetrate deep into the root and hair follicle to nourish hair from the inside. Eggs also contain four other important minerals including zinc, sulphur, iron and selenium.
#3 Tofu - Tofu is extremely high in iron. Iron deficiency can cause hair loss, so include foods that are high in iron in your diet if you are trying to prevent hair loss.
#4 Beans - Beans contain silica. Silica is used by the body to absorb minerals and vitamins which is important because even if you take vitamin supplements, if the body cannot absorb them then they will go to waste.
#5 Coriander - Coriander may be a surprise, but this herb helps to clean toxic metals from the body. Toxic metals prevent the transport of nutrients to the scalp which will, in turn, cause hair loss.
If you are looking to promote hair growth, consider these foods:
#6 Asparagus - Asparagus is a superfood. It has folic acid that helps the body absorb protein. It is also rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C containing fibre and iron. Eating asparagus will help with thicker and shinier hair.
#7Flax Seeds - Flax seeds are high in iron and also in Omega-3s which will help maintain a healthy scalp and promote hair growth.
#8 Oats - Oats contain potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and iron which will all boost hair growth.
#9 Milk - Milk is packed with essential proteins and calcium, this is an important building block in hair growth.
#10 Green Vegetables - Green leafy vegetables are a great source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C and contain high amounts of iron and selenium. These vitamins assist in the creation of sebum which conditions and promotes hair growth.
A great diet is key for everything. Great skin, healthy hair and an overall well-being.
