To keep your hair healthy, you need to follow an inside-out approach. This is because if the internal environment of our body does not remain normal, even if how much hair cream and growth serum is applied to the scalp, it does not work.
That being said, nutrition is one of the main controllable factors for hair loss. Losing a few strands is normal, but if your hair starts to fall out or fall out in bunches, it means you have an underlying nutritional deficiency. And several nutrients act on hair health, from protein to vitamins such as B7 (biotin), A, D3, C, E, and minerals such as zinc, iron, folic acid, selenium and boron, which are beneficial for hair growth and effective in preventing hair loss, but what foods should we eat specifically?
Here are some scientifically documented and well-studied hair loss foods:
• Curry leaf: This common spice is rich in β - carotene, protein, iron, calcium, vitamin C and phosphorus. Curry leaves can help prevent hair loss and premature whitening. It can be added to dishes, chutney or buttermilk. Some leaves can also be added to your daily vegetable juice or chewed directly.
• Onions: Onions contain catalase, an enzyme that prevents hair loss and premature whitening. Onions are also rich in sulfur, which is the main component of melanin, a pigment that determines hair color. If you can stand the taste of onions, you can drink onion juice directly, and if you can't stand it, you can directly apply onion juice to the scalp.
• Protein-rich foods: Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin. Therefore, make sure that your diet contains good and adequate amounts of protein. The combination of rice and lentils is the perfect source of protein. In addition, other sources of protein-rich foods include nuts, seeds, eggs, chicken and fish, which are also rich in biotin (vitamin B7), another essential nutrient for hair health. In addition, hummus is rich in protein and vitamins A, D, B7, E, C, zinc and iron, which is great for your overall hair growth.
Mai Mai believes that there is never a panacea that can guarantee that hair will not fall out. Your approach to addressing hair loss must cover all aspects of your lifestyle, including nutrition that affects the cellular level, adequate exercise, and quality sleep, and hair can only be "thousands of miles away" if you "don't accumulate steps."
