It’s easy to forget that one of the most essential things you can do to keep your strands at their best is to feed them with appropriate nourishment, especially with introduction of so many products geared at improving the look and condition of your hair.
Hair is somewhat non-essential in terms of survival. When micronutrients are few, they are more likely to be diverted to more important tasks at the expense of hair development.
The hair cycle’s growth phase sees cells quickly divide and expand, resulting in hair growth of 14 to 12 inches each month. The availability of nutrients, like that of all developing cells, is critical for growth and development.
To keep our hair healthy and looking beautiful, we need to make sure it gets the nutrients it needs, such as:
#1 Biotin
Biotin, commonly known as Vitamin B7, is a vital vitamin that aids in a variety of cellular development activities. Biotin is thought to have a key role in the development of healthy hair. Milk, whole grains, and egg yolks all contain biotin.
#2 Protein
Hair is almost completely composed of protein, with Keratin being the most important. The amino acids Lysine, Methionine, and L-Cysteine are essential for the production of Keratin and may be found in high-quality protein sources such as eggs, meat, and legumes (daal), which can help prevent inadequacies.
#3 Iron
Iron deficiency has been related to hair loss in a number of clinical trials. Even if a person is not anaemic, an iron deficit can occur, and experts believe that such a deficiency is to blame for hair loss, particularly in women. Whole grains, dried fruits, red meat, egg yolks and dark green vegetables are all rich sources of iron.
#4 Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals that are generated as a result of internal and environmental stresses. Vitamin E is also known to enhance capillary development and is thought to encourage hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the scalp. Papaya, mango, avocado, sunflower oil, and almonds are all good sources of Vitamin E.
#5 Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Anti-inflammatory effects of omega 3 fatty acids are thought to help avoid hair loss caused by non-nutritional causes. Falxseed oil and oily fish are good sources of omega 3 fatty acids.
#6 Zinc
Zinc is necessary for human health and has a role in Keratin synthesis. Hair loss is a sign of zinc shortage, and enough zinc intake is necessary for healthy hair. Meat, seafood , legumes, and nuts are all good sources of zinc in the diet.
#7 Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is a vital vitamin that is involved in every cell’s metabolism. Vegans are especially susceptible to vitamin B12 deficiency since there are no vegan sources of this vital mineral. Animal items, such as dairy, eggs, and meat, contain vitamin B12.
