Cod liver.
Cod liver is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These acids have a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair. They nourish the hair follicles from the inside, moisturize the hair, make it smoother and more elastic.
The main rule is not to combine canned liver with other fatty and high-calorie foods. To maintain balance and obtain other important macronutrients, it can be combined with various carbohydrate products (such as bread, various cereals or potatoes). Vegetables and greens also perfectly complement the meal with cod liver (fiber is important for the proper metabolism of healthy fats).
Yellow bell pepper.
Pepper fills the body with B vitamins and vitamin C. The available B vitamins in yellow pepper strengthen hair, nails and bones, which makes this food indispensable. Yellow pepper is useful to combine with foods that contain vitamin C, such as black currants, blueberries, broccoli, kiwi, papaya and strawberries. Foods high in this nutrient are recommended to be eaten with foods rich in iron. Red meat, chicken and fish provide the body with a high dose of bioavailable iron. Vegetarians can increase iron stores by including lentils and spinach in their diet.
Eggs.
Eggs are an excellent source of omega-3 and biotin. Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin, and its deficiency can cause hair loss. For long beautiful hair, add egg yolk to your daily diet. Eating too much egg white can block the body’s absorption of biotin. To replenish your biotin stores, include healthy foods such as liver, whole grains and soy in your diet.
Sunflower seeds.
Just 30 grams of seeds a day can provide you with enough vitamin E. This will improve blood flow to the scalp and accelerate hair growth. In addition, the sun can damage your curls as well as your skin. Therefore, be sure to eat foods rich in vitamin E to protect your hair. Seeds (especially sunflower, flax and pumpkin) and nuts are rich in zinc and selenium, as well as vitamin E, so try to include them in your balanced diet.
Oysters.
Zinc deficiency leads to hair loss and deterioration of the scalp. Oysters are record holders for the content of this trace element: only 85 g of these seafood contain 493% of the daily norm of zinc. Oyster meat contains the amino acid arginine. It is involved in metabolic processes in cells. If this substance regularly enters the body, there is good hair growth, improving their structure and appearance.
Sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin C, but it also has another element that is incredibly good for hair. It is beta-carotene, which not only improves the condition of the scalp, but also effectively accelerates hair growth. But do not eat too much food that contains beta-carotene (carrots, pumpkin, green onions, lettuce, spinach, red peppers). High doses of vitamin A (over 2500 mg) can be toxic to the body and cause the opposite effect. In addition, eating plenty of sweet potatoes will give the skin a yellow-orange hue.
Include these foods in your diet, use effective anti-hair loss remedies (such as Dutagen or Dutas-T) and your hair will be beautiful!
