So, here are the top 5 foods for stronger and healthier hair:
1. Blueberries
Exotic fruits may have lots of qualities, but when it comes to vitamin C, it’s hard to top this nutritional fruit.
Vitamin C is very important for blood circulation to the scalp and supports the small blood vessels that feed your hair. Too little C in your diet can eventually cause your hair to break.
The alternatives I recommend are strawberries, kiwis and tomatoes.
2. Spinach
Spinach, among the other minerals and elements, contains folate, beta carotene, a good source of iron, and lots of vitamin C that I have just mentioned: these factors contribute to keep the hair follicles healthy and promote blood flow.
The alternatives I recommend are: similar dark leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, swiss chard, and kale.
3. Lentils
Lentils are really full of protein, iron, zinc, and even biotin, and this makes them a great nutritional element for both vegetarians and those who eat meat and every thing else.
The alternatives I recommend are other beans such as soybeans and kidney beans.
4. Salmon
The flesh of this pink delicious fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and different proteins: all key elements to have vibrant hair.
Our body can’t make these fatty acids by itself, but these are really needed to grow hair.
A tiny percentage of the hair shaft is made up of these fatty acids, which are also located in the cell membranes in the skin of our scalp.
Introducing salmon in your diet can help integrating these beneficial acids in our body, helping our hair to grow healthier.
If this fish is not your favorite, you can also get essential fatty acids from other fishes like trout mackerel and sardines.
Other good sources are avocado, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts.
5. Walnuts
Walnuts are the only type of nut that have a decent amount of omega-3 fatty acids, but also the other nuts they have of course.
They’re also rich in vitamin E and biotin, which helps protect our cells from DNA damage.
Biotin is extremely important for our hair, shafts and too little of it can lead to hair thinning.
These nuts contain also the mineral copper, which helps maintain the natural color of our hair.
