Diet is a very essential factor of our external appearance, whether its the hair or skin. Experts tend to point out how important diet is by recommending the foods and raw materials we should consume in order to have glowing skin and shiny hair.
Specifically regarding the health of our hair, the naturopath Mary Capelle has categorized the families of foods that should be in our diet so that they offer “inside out” hair strengthening. “You should know that our hair consists of a living part, the hair bulb, and a non-living part, the hair itself. So if we want them to grow fast and be strong, they must have all the right nutrients (vitamins, minerals, proteins), which indicates the importance of a balanced diet,” she explains. Below are the foods she recommends we should have in our diet for healthy and shiny hair.
Proteins
Whether through meat, dairy, or vegetables, proteins are the top element that should be included in a balanced diet. Their insufficient supply can even lead to hair loss, so don’t neglect meat, eggs and small fish, such as sardines and mackerel, from your diet.
Vitamins and minerals
Raw or steamed fruits and vegetables are the most basic source of vitamins and minerals. To help their intake in parallel, consume whole grains, nuts, quinoa, buckwheat and natural legumes such as chickpeas.
Good fats
Good fats are necessary not only to strengthen the hair, but also to prevent the premature appearance of white hairs. Hemp oil, linseed oil, camelina oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil are rich in good fats, as is salmon thanks to omega 3.
