Shiny hair with a smooth texture and clean-cut ends or tapered tips is generally perceived to be a sign of healthy hair. Most people want healthy and strong hair, particularly when they grow older. But if you are older than 15 then it is the period when the time for your thickest hair has come and gone. From this moment the effort starts to keep as much as the hair on your head. Which includes maintaining its strength, shine, and luster. Though the causes of hair loss are multiple including age, genetics, hormones, toxicity, medications, nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and lifestyle changes.
According to India’s top hair care nutritionist Avni Kaul, our hair health mainly depends on our regular nutrition intake, the quality of water we use, and the quantity of dust and pollution to which our hair gets exposed. Even though we cannot do much against the pollution and dust if we can make some changes in our daily nutrition consumption we can significantly prevent the causes of hair loss. Nutritionist Avni Kaul shares in this article the 5 best foods to prevent hair loss by consuming them you can greatly enhance your hair health.
Spinach – In many cases (especially in women), a deficiency of minerals is the cause of hair loss. It is essential to make sure you do not have a lack of something in your diet that could lead to hair loss. Spinach is rich in iron and it contains sebum, which acts as a natural conditioner for hair. The leafy green also provides omega-3 acids, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron. All this assists in keeping hair shiny and lustrous.
Sunflower Seeds – Sunflower seeds are a rich source of vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid), which helps with blood flow to your scalp and the growth of hair. Just one ounce of the seeds serves up a good 20% of your DV (Daily Value) of the vitamin.
Beets – This red root is very rich in natural chemicals known as nitrates. After getting broken down in your body, these chemicals contribute to improved circulation, which brings oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles.
Eggs – Eggs are full of B vitamin which is also called biotin, which aids hair to grow and strengthens it. Not consuming enough of this vitamin can lead to hair loss. Other good sources of biotin are almonds, salmon and avocados. Remember biotin is available only when the egg is cooked and not eaten raw.
Lean Poultry – Have you ever noticed how your muscles do not grow or even shrink when you are not getting enough protein? The same thing happens to your hair too. Without the required dietary protein, hair essentially goes on strike. Fewer new hair will replace what is falling out (nearly 50 to 100 hair per day), and you will experience a net hair loss. To get protein from meat, choose lean options like chicken and fish. They contain less saturated fat than the things you will find in packed styrofoam foods at the supermarket.
