Before you resort to expensive solutions to fix your hair loss maybe you should consider your diet?
Healthy Hair
Hair, a feature common to almost all mammals, is made of keratin. It is the same stuff that makes horns, claws and hooves as well as being the protein that forms a protective outer layer on all the body’s surfaces on organs blood vessels and skin.
You might be aware that by testing the composition of a sample of your hair it is possible to establish precise information about your diet. It follows that a healthy diet is an essential element of producing healthy hair.
What Should You Be Eating?
There are a range of essential vitamins recognised as beneficial for hair growth. Near the top of the most people’s list would be biotin, vitamin B7. Dairy products are a rich source of B7 along with B12, iron, zinc and omega 6 fatty acids.
Oats are a popular breakfast food, mostly as either porridge or muesli, and contain generous amounts of vitamin B along with fibre, zinc, omega-6 fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Throw in some almonds, which contain essential magnesium, and walnuts, for their high biotin content, along with strawberries, containing silica and ellagic acid, and you have the perfect breakfast for anyone concerned about the condition of their hair.
Cautionary Note
Diet plays an essential role in maintaining healthy hair, and can be part of the solution to many ailments which can result in hair loss. However, that is not the same thing as being a magic bullet to fix any hair problem. The vast majority of people, men and women, suffering from hair loss are victims of androgenetic alopecia – hair loss inherited through their genes from both of their parents. No amount of yoghurt and strawberries can prevent this.
