Along with using hair products to maintain a healthy head of hair, it is important to follow a healthy diet. You are what you eat, after all! From protein and healthy fats to iron and biotin, common foods are packed full of nutrients and you may not even know it.
Fish
Fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that our bodies need. Not only do they help our bodies fight off disease, but they also play a role in our hair health. They help keep our hair healthy and shiny and promote hair growth.
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein that is also low in fat. It has an essential vitamin known as vitamin B5, or by the scientific name, pantothenic acid. Vitamin B5 helps with maintaining blood flow to the scalp, allowing for a stable environment for hair growth.
Spinach
Spinach is considered a superfood because it’s packed with nutrients. This dark-green leafy vegetable is packed with iron, vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin C and folate. Together all of these nutrients work to maintain a healthy scalp and head of hair. If you really want to hop on the health food craze, add some kale to the mix too.
Eggs
Eggs are quick and easy to make, and are delicious too. They are rich in an essential hair growth B vitamin, known as biotin. A deficiency in biotin can lead to hair loss.
If you feel like you aren’t able to work these types of foods into your diet but want to help support your hair’s health from the inside out, consider taking hair vitamins like Keranique Daily Essentials. Packed into each pill is B-complex group vitamins essential to healthy hair growth, including thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 & B12 and folate.
