Eating Your Way to Healthy Hair


This includes:

Staying informed about unproven hair loss treatment ingredients Everything in your body — including your hair — maintains its health and vitality thanks to what you put into it. Can you avoid baldness forever by consuming enough protein, vitamins, and minerals? Probably not (forever is a tall order, after all), but you may be able to slow or avoid hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies — and you can keep the hair you have looking healthy and at its best.

In this article, we start with the big picture of how diet and nutrition affect hair. Then we explain the affects of various vitamins and minerals and look at ancient remedies for hair loss and the treatments still used today in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. Although there hasn’t been a great deal of scientific research into whether herbs and oils delay or prevent hair loss, the treatments we describe have been used for many years in alternative medicine. We also warn you about treatments that don’t work — and that could be harmful to your health.

Eating Your Way to Healthy Hair

Everybody knows that eating well is essential for a healthy heart, bones, and other key body systems, but you may not realize that a lack of protein, good fat, vitamins, and minerals can affect what grows out of the top of your head as well. Hair needs to be fed — and fed well — to keep growing and to stay put. A steady diet of junk food isn’t healthy fodder for your hair.

People who don’t eat meat or dairy products may be missing out on important vitamins and minerals necessary for hair health.
