Shiny, healthy hair is a reflection of a healthy body, so it's like
two for the price of one. Just like your body, your hair needs a
balanced, nutritious diet to stay healthy. So follow this recipe for
healthier hair, and be amazed at the difference it makes!
Water
Water
makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Moisture makes
the hair supple, so make sure you get plenty of fluids. A key point is
NOT to wait until you're thirsty. If you're thirsty, it means your body
has already lost more water than it should have, and it's urging you to
fill up the tank. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep
your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink between eight and
ten glasses of water a day.
Protein
Protein
is the building block of hair, so a diet for healthy hair contains an
awful lot of protein! Protein will give the shaft of your hair more
strength, and will reduce the likelihood of dame through snapping and
splitting. You can get protein from foods like fish, meat, milk, cheese
and cereals.
Minerals
Iron
helps to carry oxygen to the hair. Without enough iron, hair and its
follicles get starved of oxygen. This means that the oodness? In the
root of your hair is much less effective along the length of the
strand. You can increase your iron intake by eating red meat and dark
green vegetables, or by iron supplements.
Zn builds hair
protein which helps to prevent hair loss. Meat and seafood are the
foods highest in zn.
Copper is involved in the pigmentation of hair. You can optimize your
natural color with a diet with plenty of copper. Who needs hair dye and
fake color! Shellfish, liver, fresh vegetables, nuts, seeds and meat
are all high in copper.
Vitamins
Vitamin
A will give you a healthy scalp, because it’s great for the skin! You
can get vitamin A from foods like vegetables - in particular, in
carrots. (So it good for the waistline too!)
Vitamin B and C are
important for good circulation, hair growth and hair color. If you
ensure that you have enough vitamin B and C, you’ll have strong, supple
strands of hair that do not split. You can get these vitamins from
eating foods like fruit, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk and bread.
So follow this healthy guide? be sure to add in a hefty dose of daily
exercise to keep that blood pumping?then add proper hair care on the
surface! Go ahead! Try it!
Soon enough you'll be turning down offers to do shampoo commercials!
